home-run mauler of the New York

Unbeaten EIevens Take Field In
Stadium in What Promises

Two unbeaten elevens take the field
in the Central High School stadium
tomorrow afternoon when Eastern and
Central start hostilities In the second
game OF the titular series.
The Fasteners were defeated by 9
to o last year by the Central team and
mean to stage a regular old fashioned
surprise. Central does not discount
the strength OF the team from Capitol
Hill.
Both elevens have secuted each
other all season and the Fasteners
believe the time is quite ripe for one
of the biggest upsets in scholastic
football In years.
Central has defeated Charlotte Hall
and Baltimore Poly. Eastern has
trimmed Emerson and Gonzaga. The
teams will be about evenly matched In
weight.
Coach Neither is putting his charges

Villanova will be quite ready for
Catholic University. The Pennsyl-
vania gave Fordham all II was look
ing for last Saturday In a game which
was agreed upon as a tie contest.
The Villanova eleven led Fordham
by 10 to Ia just before time was
called. In the darkness and with the
field crowded with spectators, Ford.
ham heaved a forward pass which APP
parently scored a touchdown.
The referee allowed the play but
the linesman said the player had
stepped out OF bounds. A half hour
after the game II was announced that
the teams had agreed on a tie score.
From Saturdays game II may be
seen that Villanova has strength
enough to stack up against G. u. on
better than even terms, figuring the
showing of both teams against Ford
ham.
Holy Cross Ready.
Georgetown is quite positive 1t is
going up against real combination
I'm Cleo O'Donnells Holy Cross on
Saturday. Beaten by a goal from the
field by Harvard, victorious over
Springfield, the Worcester eleven is
sure of giving the Hilltoppers all they
are looking for on Saturday. George
town did not play Holy Cross last
year.
The Hilltoppefs, with Overwhelming
scores over Ursinus and Westminster
appear to have struck their stride
after the slight checking OF the eleven
in its starter against Lebanon Val
ley. In the past two weeks, however,
Georgetown has not faced anything
stiff in the way of defense.
Hatchetites Ready.
The Hatchetites are all primed for
a win over Drexel Institute Saturday
In Philadelphia. With any kind Of
Improvement the George Washington
lads should win handily.
George Washington and William
and Mary College are loud in kicks
on officiating on Saturday at Nor
folk. Both teams maintain they were
victims of some unusually sloppy
work by the men handling the game.
1t appeared as though the officials
were not only incompetent, but were
quite biased in their views Of the
game. Certain II is that the Hatchet-
ites received nothing, while the Indi-
ans were materially aided in their
efforts by reason of penalties inflict-
ed on the Hatchetites.

Navy Numbers Are Not
In Sight After
Given Out

Here's the numbers of the
Princeton players" yelled a
bright chap across the press
table at Annapolis on Saturday.
Everybody started writing with
a. rush ana quickly got them
down. "Now, here's the Navy
numbers" said the same inform
ant. Immediately all the foot
ball scribes started to look at
one another and remark, Gee,
that's great. The Navy has
finally consented to number its
men. 1t will be easy to follow
every play" Five minutes later
the Navy came on the field and,
10 and behold, not one player
was numbered. Somebody was
crossed, principally newspaper
men.
The Washington times., 1921-10-17

Meanwhile, Penn State has a rather
rude schedule facing IL before the
Navy game at Philadelphia. Next
Saturday Harvard must be played at
Cambridge. A week later the Penn
sylyanians go down to New York to
tackle Georgia Tech, while on Novem-
ber Carnegie Tech, one of the
strongest of the so-called secondary
elevens In the East. tackles Penn State
at State College.
Where the Middies have weak op-
ponents over the coming three
weeks Penn State must play three
powerful foes, Harvard, Georgia Tech,
and Carnegie Tech. II Bezdek has the
necessary players in his squad he may
reap considerable advantage. If he
lacks them he may place vastly
weakened team on Franklin Field for
the tough task of stopping that fierce
. charge of the Navy line, and the slash
ing ripping attack Of the Navy backs.
Navy Needs Punter.
Against Princeton, Folwell's team
showed but one weakness. 1t needs
punter who can drive the ball at least
forty yards. On all of Clyde Kings at
tempts at field goals-he made four
the Navy line held like the proverbial
stone wall. A punter working behind
that line would never have any COM
plaint about being hurried. He could
take all the time he wanted.
1t Is difficult 20 write about the
Navy eleven as sean against Prince
ton without running into laudation.
Particularly did the line stand up
under every test. On offense every
man from tackle to-. tackle was
through like a flash, ripping open
wide holes for the backs and pick
ing off the defending backs. On
defense the very fact that the Ii
gers never made a first down shows
what the MILDLY forwards were doing
The Navy backfield has no par
ticular stars, though Barchet and
Noyes did stand out bit in advance
Of the others. For one thing, they
are much faster than their mates,
but the quartet, no matter who COM
posed 1t, worked like team in be-
hind a wonderful line.
In Fine Condition.
The Middies were in wonderful
physical condition. They forced the
fighting from the opening whistle,
and kept 1t right down the line to the
triumphant end. The forwards re-
mained in the game, and, IL anything,
were stronger than the Tiger substi-
tutes in the final period. This must
be cheering to Coach Folwell and his
assistants. 1t means much.
Whenever an eleven can hit up a
fast pace and keep it up through four
15-minute periods it is a dangerous
opponent. And whenever that team
can follow a bali as closely as the
Middies did against Princeton, that
team is very likely to win any close
contest from sheer readiness.
While the Princeton coaches did
not belittle the Navy victory in any
way, many of the teams supporters
were not so polite. They were heard
to utter that old wheeze of the Big
