LONG GRID SCHEDULES
WOULD PROVE TOO HARD

while many of the old-time foot
ball players agree that the modern
game is swifter and has far more
variety OF play than the old slam
bang contest, they refuse to admit
that the game today is as great a tax
on stamina of the players as II was
in the '90s.
The old boys Of the fying-wedge
age smile when they hear the present
generation OF players call the sched-
ules severe However, trainers agree
that an eleven could not stand UP un-
der a schedule Of fifteen or sixteen
games such as the old-time elevens
used to play, because of the greater
physical toll which the faster game
OF the day demands.
The hardly old grads are forever
protesting that the modern player
takes things too easy in the matter
Of a schedule. and that the teams
should play harder opponents. They
point to the fact that in the 9O's the
big college teams took on all the OPP
ponents in sight.
The present schedule includes from
eight to ten games. while in 1894 Yale
played fifteen games and won them
all. Pennsylvania played fifteen
games in 1895. All the colleges had
longer schedules. There was no talk
then, the old fellows point out, about
making the schedules easier.
Nevertheless, football has become
a highly specialized game since those
days, and a longer schedule would be
dangerous physical tax on the
players

ROYALS WILL BOWL
CHEVY CHASE TEAM
Duckpins De Luxe Scheduled
For February l8-FulI Dress
Suits Barred.
By KIRK MILLER.

What Washington duckpin circles
are pleased to call bowling de luxe"
Will occur at the Chevy Chase Club
on February Is, when the Royals
will journey to the Maryland resort
to engage the club team in a set OF
duckpins.
These two teams for years have
been meeting on the maplewood
floor and their matches have In
variably attracted unequaled attsn-
ton In the bowling cosmos here
abouts. Some OF the best artists
with the little pins are members OF
Chevy Chase colony. and as is often
the case where the Royals are
bowling, the result is by no means
foregone conclusion.
CARROLL's BILL VETOED.

his team appear that night in full
evening dress. The proposal was re-
ferred to a committee OF one, Harry
Krauss, who exercised his veto, 4
privilege which goes with his char
ter membership.
At previous competitions between
Chevy Chase and the Royals, the
gallery has invariably been thronged
with ladies and gentlemen apparelled
in the height Of evening wear.
KRAUsS Is FIRM.
This has been the cause of no
little embarrassment to Carroll, Earl
Lewis, Pop" HALEY, and the others.
but Harry Krauss believes IL they
break the team rule of strict neu-
trality in the matter OF formal
dress. they will be expected to al
ways appear in such attire. Rather
than to disappoint expectant audi
ences in the future, the team will
adhere to its usual uniform.
Regardless of the result at Chevy
Chase on the 18th, the Royals will
leave on the afternoon OF the 18th
for Roanoke, whore the Virginia
stars will be taken on. Here Is
another annual match around which
no little enthusiasm Is built.

Harry Armiger reports some lively
duckpin tits down on the Rath-

League rolls. On Thursday night
two coincidents aroused the specta-
tors to great enthusiasm. in fact
there was much tossing Of hats into
the air and many Indian war cries

The James Head team piled up
1,741 pins in its set, the total being
one pin less than the Market Cafe

with a set of 403, which is one pin
less than Arthur Urbans league
