Rexmen this afternoon at Americas.
League Park in what is expected 10
be the classiest game of Washing
toms independent grid season. This
will probably be the last game OF
the local football year. unless thes
Knicks succeed in bringing the John
Marshall eleven Of Richmond. cham
pions Of the South, here for afchris-
mas Day battle
On comparative score figuring the
Knicks outclass the Rexmeu and.
should win easily. However, the
Northeasterners, having watched theE
Knick-Navy Yard clash last Sunday.
have loaded up with college and
independent stars, SO that today they
will present a lineup which. man for
man. is practically in the same class
as their opponents and which will
outweigh the Rnicks approximately
eight pounds to the man.
Rex Lands starr.
Hudson. who played with North
Carolina University this fall, and
Gurley, former Washington and Jef--
ferson and North Carolina A. and NJ
star, will be seen in the Rexmen's
backheld. Botn men weigh around
l10. Hudson, particularly, is ex-
pected to star. Playing with the
Tarheels this season he made a repu-
tation for himself and the school as
one Of the greatest backs in the
South.
Gurley also is a clever back. be-
ing considered one Of the greatest
offensive men in the game when he
played with Washington and Jef-
ferson some years ago.
However, the Knicks are conn
dent, even more SO. According TO
Wisconsin avenue reports they
would just as soon play Camps all
American team The across the
creek boys will start the battle
with the same lineup as last Sun
day against the Navy Yarders, with
one or two exceptions or additions.
Two all-American men. Tomlin.
OF Syracuse, II. and whalen, the
only Georgetown University man
ever placed on Camps mythical
eleven. have been signed to
strengthen an already strong line.
Tomlin will be seen at right guard
and Tommy whalen will cover right
end.
New Stars for k.ieks.
The Knickerbockers will have
two new men in the bsckfeld as
running mates for Sullivan, Hilltop
sub this season, and Mackert. the
running, plunging. kicking star OF
Maryland University's 1890 team.
Harris, who has played with Jim
Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs all this
year, will start at left half for the
Knicks. He is a former college star
and has played a wonderful game
in the professional ranks this year
As Thorpe's and Calsc's running
mate he was one of the hardest
men in the game TO stop and the
Rnicks are relying strongly on his
vsunted speed for today's battle.
However. OF the galaxy Of the
stars the Knicks will present, ther-
is one name that will stand out from
them all today. At least that's what
Catholic University students and
hackers are willing to admit
The name is Robb.
Phil Robb. backheld star OF Bez-
dek's famous 1919 Penn State eleven
is to share the quarterback duties
with the clever little Van Brocklin.
Robb One of Greatest.
Robb is one of the greatest pieces
Of grid machinery ever developed
at the famous Quaker school In
the year when Mcmillan. Boyuton
and all the rest Of them were beine
touted all over the country as the
greatest quarter ever developed"
Walter Camp picked Phil Robb for
the signal station Of his second
team and murnured that bright a
star as Mcmillan is. little would be
lost IL Robb was substituted
Both teams have plenty OF subs
and expect to use them today. The
ReXmen especially could send their
second string into the fray with
out greatly weakening their team.
In any event it's sure to be a great
battle and advance ticket sales in
dicate that at least 5000 people
will see the closing clash Of the
