Middies in Fine
Shape for Bethany

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 27.-Navy's
gridiron warriors again were driven
through stir practice this afternoon,
the coaches devoting a measure Of
time to every department Of play,
and the program concluding with a
hard scrimmage against the strong
scrub team. Positions in the back
cid were shifted several times. ow-
ing to the wealth Of material and
the desire to give all hands a thor
ough workout. Altogether, the play
ers have this week performed in
better style than at any previous
time this season and the coaches
are highly gratified at results OBJ
tanned. The team will be in prime
shape for the go against Bethany
College on Saturday. There Is no
inclination on the part of the Navy
contingent to underrate the lads from
the Mountain State, so Folwell will
put his complete ensemble Of reg
ulars into the game and they viii
remain until things get to going well.
The game with Penn State, to be
staged on Franklin Field. Philadel-
phia. on November IL. however, Is
overshadowing all else just now from
thesstandpoint of interest. The coaches
realize tina. the Middies have their
work cut out for them to beat the
"Nittany Lions" owing to the great
showing they made against Harvard
last Saturday.

ROBB TO APPEAR
IN "PRO" LINEUP

President Tim Jordan, of the
Washington Football Club, grabbed
an ace yesterday in signing Harry
Robb, former star quarterback on
the Penn State eleven OF 1919, to
play with the local pros, beginning
this Sunday, against the Richmond
Athletic Club at American League
Park.
Jordan did not rest at procuring
the Catholic University grid men
tor. but snatched two more back
field cracks in Johnny Blair. local
sandlot halfback who earned fame
when the Rex A. c. reigned kings
of District independent football.
and "Snitz" Snyder, former Mary
land University and Tech High
School players.
The local backfeld needs bolster
ing and these men are capable of
providing the necessary reinforce
meDt Robb is a great field general
and gained nationwide field no
toriety when he performed for
Hugo Bezjek's aggregation. He
wa smentioned very highly by
Walter Camp at the end of the 1918
season.
Blair last night ran the pros all
during practice and seemed per-
fectly at home plotting the big
eleven. Local supporters of the
Black and White would welcome
seeing him running the team on the
field Sunday against the Rich

GONZAGA DEFEATS
ST. JOHNS, Is TO 6

The Gonzaga eleven won 1s-to-
6 victory over st. Johns High School
at American League Park yester-
day. Boucher, Gonzaga halfback,
was the star of the game. Besides
making Ave end runs, averaging 20
yards, he made both of the winners
touchdowns, and booted the goals
following. I'
st. Johns got off to flying start
and crossed its opponents goal line
on an intercepted forward pass in
the first fiye minutes'of play. Con-
zaga eSened IL up after a STEADY
advance down the field.
The final and winning score came
in the last two minutes of play,
when Boucher ran back punt over

CENTRAL BATTLES
Tech IN BIG GAME
Result Of Today's Clash May
Decide High Gridiron
Title.


Central and Tech, elevens will
clash at o'clock thisSafternoon in
the Central Stadium in game
which should go far in determining
the High School championship OF
the District. Central has already
defeated Eastern, its most formid-
able competitor. with the exception
of the Manual Trainers. so that the
winners Of today's battle may well
consider themselves far advanced
along the road to the championship.
This is the twenty-third annual
engagement \ between the two
schools. The game is always the
school gridiron classic 'sof the sea-
son and the two teams are sure
to play before a packed house to-
day. ....-.. -. -.
So far as weight is concerned.
the two teams are nearly on a par,
Whatever slight advantage there Is
lies with Central. but Appls's boys
are credited with having a shade
in the matter of speed. The Blue
and White average Is a fraction
over l52, while Tech averages about
a pound less.
The Central slogan Is stop Mac
Carter. A shifty, speedy, broken
field runner, a line plunger of parts,
probably the best forward passer
in the local high schools and, above
all, crafty field general the brill
liant 160-pound quarterback is the
one fY in Metzler's ointment -.
Both of the rival coaches have
made last minute shifts in their
line-ups. Central will start Rau-
Der at halfback. and will place
Booth. reputed to be light but fast.
in the quarterback position. Apple
plans to start Perry at halfback
instead of HALEY. Theeformer tips
the beam at las, the lightest weight
of any Of the Tech backfield, but
he has been showing a world OF
speed in practice.
Ebert Exendine Georgetown
coach, will officiate as referee. and
Quigley. George Washington men,
tor, will umpire. Harmon. former
Bethany College player, will act as
head linesman.

In the development of the game
today so many stars are popping
out from so many sections that the
tSngle is worse than ever.
Has football grown? Early this
fall there were twenty-seven candi-
dates for quarterback on the Har-
ward freshman team alone. Has
football grown?
One Eastern Recovery.
The East with TiIden. Guilford,
Miss uollins and Mrs. Mallory has
recovered a large batch OF lost
ground in regard to golf and tennis.
The west with Bill Johnston and
Chick" Evans had the jump at one
time, but the tide was about due
to turn. -.-
1t was no light jolt for the West
in golf when Jesse Guilford stopped
Harrison Johnston, Chick" Evans
and Bob Gardner on successive days,
being no less than IA up on the
trio. He was only 1 UP on John
ston, the long hitter and hard fighter
from st. Paul, gaining the bulk of
bis advantage over two men who had
won four amateur titles in the past.

in the land beyond the Mississippi?
What about Walter Johnson. Jack
Dempsey. Grover Alexander. Iris

The Vigil Revision.
The heights by leading golfers kept
Were not attained by slam and slug,
But they. while lesser rivals slept
Were putting on the carpet rug.
Consider the rasping circum-
stance of Bob Folwell of the Navy
where he has to start a game with
three. first-class backs on the side
lines-not because they are injured
but because the present regulations
only permit a coach to use fouJ
backs at any one given moment
The quantity of ,backfeId material
however, has little to do wNh the
almost miraculous. team play OF
Folwells backfield. where any foul
picked run together like one vast
entry with a smash and a rush. In
watching that Navy backfield work
you understand just what mar
power means.
