battles, and he was given thunderous
cheer.
Ohio State has declined the offer of

Southern California.
Notre Dame also has received a re-
quest for a 1921 game with Georgia

NAVY YARD IS Confident
Supporters Are Offering Odds Of
5 to 8 Against the Rex
Eleven Sunday.

Navy Yard will hand Rex Athletic

teams meet in the District champion

on Sunday afternoon. according to the
ardent admirers of the Gunmakers.

and believe they will reward their
supporters with a clean-cut victory.
The Gunmakers' record for the sea-
son appears more impressive than the
Rexmen's, but the former have not
been tested as severely as their rivals.
Where the teams have encountered
the same aggregations Rex has
shown to better advantage than Navy
Yard. This was especially noticeable
in the Ewing and Marine engage
mentS- Sentiment, more than anything
else, seems to influence the Navy
Yard rooters.
The Rex line is considered generally
to be stronger than Navy Yards, but
in Beyers and Blair the Gunmakers
have pair of brilliant backs Rex
probably will have an advantage in
the kicking game, for Litkus' punting
has been consistently strong all sea-
son, while Navy Yard. though better
fortified in this department than it
was last year. is not SO good.

NEW ORLEANS, La, December 3
Fear of legal restrictions that might

For the halfback position Gipp of
Notre Dame, and Stinchcomb of Ohio
State, are star runners, and can do
almost anything with the ball ex-
cept eat it. Added to his various spe-
ciaities. Gipp is a proficient drop
kicker. Gipp has been criticised as
merely spectacular. Well. he is that.
But it arises from a wealth OF daz-
cling ability.
Flowers of Georgia Tech easily
makes halfback on the second eleven.
McMillin of Centre has the other back
position on the second team because
lated are the four backs in point of
ability that they could be inter-
changed with no appreciabIe loss in
effectiveness.
Other brilliant backs are Haines and
Way of Pennsylvania State. Davies of
Pittsburgh, Beck of West Virginia.
Owens and Humphrey and Churchill
of Harvard. Robertson and shellburDe
of Dartmouth, Webster of Colgate,
Harlan and Barron of Georgia Tech,
Leach of V. NJ. Ia truly great back
of Stevens, Gilroy of Prince
ton, Murrey of Princeton. French of
the Army, Koehler of the Navy, Ga
Swarthmore, Walquist of Illinois, and
a host of other able performers. The
writer recalls no season which saw
so many fine backs.
Henry Clarity of Princeton is the
best line bucker the writer has seen
this season. He is one of those men
who hit the line hard with eyes open in
search of further openings, a man
who is never content with three or
four yards, but wants--and often
gets eight or ten. He fellows inter-
ference through the line with deadly
accuracy and keeps his feet long
after he is tackled. Besides, he is
generally useful all over the field
taking out tacklers, knocking down
forward passes or intercepting them
and developing plays on defense. As
a personal opinion the theory may be
set forth that he classes with Gillo.
who played his last game for Colgate
in November of last year.
Horween of Harvard would fill a
necessary place as line bucker on the
second team; heady player on de-
Tense and a strong influence. He is
versatile and has a vast knowledge Of
foot ball.
The team. as a whole, would be ex-
tremely powerful and fast as light
ming. 1t would be versatile; a strong
scoring combination and a perfect de-
fensive outfit. With. physical prowess
would be combined real foot ball in
telligence.

Few foot ball teams that played
here this fall made as good impress
sions as did Bethany. Good interfer-
ence. splendid spirit on the part of
the members of its team, and clean
play were the particular features
marked and commented on especially
by spectators after the game with
George Washington. Those who saw
Bethany play the Hatchetites will
want to see the same team in action
again, and most followers OF the Hill
top institution are fairly sure to go
out to view for the last time this year
their favorites.
The game has been scheduled by
its law school reunion. Alumni from
all sections of the east sent word to
the Hilltop institution that they de-
sired foot ball game more than any
other one thing to mark their return
for the affair, and after great efforts
landed. Few colleges care to book
games after the close of their regular
seasons. and Georgetown found it diff
fcult to list the kind of contest it
wanted.
Nate Tufts of Brown has been Sc
lected to referee the engagement. He
will be assisted by Carl Reed of
Springfield, umpire. and James Mof-
fatt Of Princeton, linesman. Play
will start earlier than usual for games
here, as the first kickoff is to take
place at 2 o'clock.
Bethany Drills Here Today.
The Bethany squad, headed by Carl
v. Miller, director of athletics, and
Coach Buland. reached washington
early this morning and is quartered
at the Ebbitt. The team was sent
through a light drill at American
League Park this afternoon. The
players appeared in good physical
condition. despite their tiresome trip
from the West Virginia town by way
of Pittsburgh.
While the strength of Exendine's
eleven is not underestimated by the
Buffaloes, they look forward to vic
tory. Bethany has a good record for
the year. It's wins over Detroit and
Carnegie Tech were no mean achieve
ments. Comparative scores show
Bethany to be on par with the Hill
toppers. Georgetown defeated West
Virginia Wesleyan % to z and De-
troit downed the Mountaineers % to
0. Bethany triumphed over the Michi
ganders. 9 to 6.

CANADA SEEKS BIG BOUT
Ottawa Sportsmen Tell Richard
They Can Raise $250,000
Fund for Title Scrap.

NEW YORK. December 3.-Canada
is the latest prospective site for the
staging of the arpentier-Dempsey
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world according to an an
nouncement made by Tex Richard,
head of the Madison Square Garden
Sporting Club.
A syndicate of wealthy sportsmen
OF Ottawa have assured Richard that
fund of S250,000 can be raised for
such bout. and that the ring can be
pitched at Hull. which is just across
the river from Ottawa. Richard was
asked to go to Ottawa and discuss the
proposition with a representative of
the Canadian sportsmen. 1t is pro-
posed that the bout be held in June.
Tex asserts that he will arrange for
such conference in the next few
days. but that no definite plans had
yet been made in regard to the hold
ing Of the bout.
1t was intimated again today by
Richard that, if the fight is not held
in or near New York city. it will in
all likelihood be staged in London.
where Carpenter is great favorite
and remarkable drawing card.

will be to the tall bushes for a lot
of the clubs.
The Cincinnati Reds. for instance,
learn. wouldn't make a very big hole
in the lone star state, if it were to
slip through the bottom and fall
into China. When a citizen goes
down to Main street he can tell he's

guessed right the first time
Last year the Reds trained at the
place they sing about-Miami The old
Miami shore sure did make hit with
those Rhineland ball tossers But when
they came north and started to play
base ball, Pat Moran. their manager,
didn't know whether they had progress
sive palsy, the ricketts,, or housemaid's
knees. None of the fans did either.
So this trip it will be the cactus for the
Reds and hard work all the time
The Boston Red Sox and the Pitts
burgh team are the only teams that are
going to daily around places where base
base ball is only an incident. The Sox
and the Pirates have selected Hot
Springs, Ark, as their training place.
It's a fine resort, lots of life and a
drst-ciass race track. 'Nuff said.
Stallings the one-time miracle man
of the Boston Braves, has his eye on
