FOOTBALL CHATTER

Glenn Killinger is a practical Ger.
tainty for the all-American eleven.
Three times now Georgetown has
failed to defeat Georgia Tech and will
probably have to return to Atlanta
again next year.
II Yale can win from Harvard next
Saturday at Cambridge, old Yale grads
all over the country win be entitled
to celebrations.
Michigan and Wisconsin met on the
gridiron Saturday for the first time
in sixteen years. The battle ended
in a tie. ,.>
Captain Smell. Of Penn State, will
probably start against Pittsburgh a
week from Thursday and the betting
is for a State victory.
Yale and Princeton have now
fought forty,fiye football games and
Saturdays victory gives the Ellis
Twenty-Five out Of the total. The
Tigers have won twelve and there
have been nine ties.
Marshall Foch, watching the Yale
Princeton game at New Haven, show
cd every sign of intense interest,
though he knew little OF the finer
points, The likeness between football
and military tactics probably drew
him.
Navy supporters are claiming that
the soft field handicapped Bob Fol-
wells Middies Saturday. But didn't
that same soft footing handicap the
agile KillinRer and the fleet footed
Lightner. The field was soft. for both
teams.

Parr and Taylor were not alone in
being fooled.
When Wilson. Kabb. Lightner or
Killinger broke through the line, 1t
was either Larson or Hamilton who
usually stopped the play. The tack

Indeed. all service teams offer excel

ling. There was no exception at
Franklin Field on Saturday.
Better Eleven Won.
The better eleven won. that's all
to be said about 1t. State lost no
courage whatever merely because the
Middies had scored first. The Nit
tany Lions quickly came back with
two touchdowns and seized the mar
gin that ended in victory. They had
the finished offensive to make that
possible, that's all. Navy lacked
variety on attack. That's why that
magnificent march up the field stop

been clicked off by the fast-charstng

The Blue and Gray squad Is back in

lad is in perfect condition and Coach
Exendine begins at once to prepare
for Saturdays big game with Boston
college in Boston. No whimpers are
heard over Saturdays defeat by
Georgia Tech. That is the way
things are done on the Hill. What's
the use Of crying over spilled milk?

until another year rolls around.
While Coach Exendine declines to
complain about anything. neverthe-
less, he does repeat the protest he
made on the field to Mike Thompson.
the referee, that Tech used repeated
ly an illegal formation which had but
six men on the scrimmage line as the
ball was put in play.

THE game is over and gone" said
Coach Exendine today. Nothing is
to be gained now. We protested to
Referee Thompson on the field when
Tech used it's illegal play. When the
shift came, one man did not shift. He
maintained his position about yard
behind the line of scrimmage. The
others jumped up into the scrimmage
ION that formation usually a dou-
bule pass followed. The second pass
was to the man not on the line or to
another who followed him as inter-
ference around left end. 1t invariably
gained. too, by the way.
when we protested, Referee
Thompson told us to complain to UNI
pire Hoban. Going to him, we were
told to tell our troubles to the lines
man. The linesman said the matter
was in the Jurisdiction of the.referee.
Passing the buoy in THAT way, all of
the officials simply paid no attention
to our protests.
Lost on Fumbles.
Georgetown had several excellent
chances to do something right at the
start Of the game, losing through
costly fumbles in the backfield on at
least two occasions and once because
of a poor pass from center. Had the
- team got it's running game moving
right then, things might have been
different. but that's all done now. We
didn't and we lost, so what's the use
Of kicking?
