Without Drills,
Bv Basil D. Woon

Universal Staff Correspondent
paris, Oct. ia way to un-
erringly discover the location
and exact location and exact dep
tn of deposits of crude oil without
drilling has been found by Pierre
Estines, a Catholic priest alrea-
dy famous in the world of science
for his X~vay studies.
Competent authorities in the
world of science cali the discove-
ry the most important scientific
revelation since the discovery OF
radium, surprising, due to the
principles involved, even the dis
covery of the atom.
interviewed at his humble re-
sidence in Touluse, where he is
professor of science at Toulouse
University, Father Estines said:
'Within the year it shall BE de-
finitelyl proven to the satisfac-
tion of the world that it is posi-

Father Estines declares that
he will not sell the patent or
consent to reveal the secret to

machine at the service or dispo-
sal of the French government.
Oil experts in Paris expressed
the highest interest in the news

HILLTOP GRAVES
VICTORY OVER
bUCKNELL
Stung by Three Defeats,
Georgetown Determined to
Redeem Itself Tomorrow.

A real battle is assured at Ameri-
can League Park tomorrow after
noon when Georgetown and Bucknell
clash. Stung by three straight de-
feats, the Hilltoppers are going into
action with a fervid desire to stage
a comeback and trim Bucknell. Hill
top followers are furious over the
sorry showing Of the team to date
and are demanding that the team
produce in it's final games with Buck
nell. Boston College and Lafayette.
On the other hand. Bucknell ar
rived here today with one Of the
finest teams Of the year. 1t battled
Navy to a finish. losing only by a
score of 14-7, incidentally doing bet.
ter than either Penn State or Georgia
Tech.
1t ran into hard luck in the Smoky
City. losing to Pittsburgh by one
touchdown. but came back last Satur-
day and slammed Lehigh for an in.
glorious defeat. The team is much
larger than Georgetown's, has the
benefit of a great football strategist
in it's head coach, Pete Reynolds, and
has the valuable experience gained in
going through a most arduous sched-
ule.
Naturally, 1t is anxious to take the
Hilltoppers into camp. an almost for
gotten feat for a Pennsylvania team.
and will battle from the whistle for a
triumph.
Georgetown has not struck it's real
gait In one game this year. Three
games have been thrown away by
poor tackling. but with this defec,
largely remedied by a hard session
Of practice in, this department all
week, most conspicuous weakness
OF the Hilltoppers ought to be lack.
ing tomorrow. Moreover, the var.
sity has worked out all week against
the scrubs and freshmen, using
Bucknell plays and with marked sue
cess. .
The Hiil.oppers have a heavy
casualty list, but no one appears
absolutely unfit for service tomorrow
but Kenyon. The stocky fullback
was battered pretty badly in Atlanta,
and there Is considerable doubt as to
whether he will start. Malley Is back
In the fold, also King, while Flavin
and Florence are ready for call.
II the most inglorious season in
the history Of Georgetown football Is
to be averted, the Hilltoppers must
win tomorrow. Injuries, bad breaks
and a lack of suitable reserve ma.
terial because of the freshmen and
one-year residence rules have all
combined to throw q wrench into
the Blue and Gray gridiron ma
chine.
But with the end Of the schedule in
sight. the team Is determined to re.
deem itself. Meanwhile Bncknell Is
a slight favorite ana Is mighty intent
on winning. Hence q grand fnd

NAVAL ACADEMY
HEAD PRAISES
PENN STATE
Rear Admiral Henry 3. Wilson
Lauds Sportsmanship Shown
in Athletic Relations.

STATE COLLEGE. Pa. Nov. IT..
closely on the heels Of
the announcement from Annapolis
that a Penn State.Navy football
game was practically certain to be
played at State College next fall,
President John NJ. Thomas. of the
Pennsylvania State College. today
made public a letter from Rear Ad
miral Henry B. Wilson, superintend
ent Of the Naval Academy, which DR.
Thomas considers the finest tribute
ever given to Penn State for clean
athletics and for good sportsman
ship. The letter was as follows:
zone of the things that has i'm
pressed me about our, athletics at
the Naval Academy is the wide
spread feeling in the regiment OF
goodwill toward Penn State, this
in spite Of the fact that on most Of
our schedules the Penn State game
means the hardest game. During
my time at the Academy / have
wondered about this, and the game
in Washington on November has
cemented the belief that / have
found the answer.
"The midshipmen like Penn State
because. not only will the result OF
the game be in doubt until it Is
over, but also they know that Penn
State will fight hard and will fight
clean in all forms of sport In which
the two colleges meet. That seems
to be the Penn States reputation
that they always fight, but that
they fight clean. This was exempli
fled in the recent game when the
two lines played each other to a
virtual standstill, which meant the
toughest sort Of going, and yet the
contest left only the finest sort Of
feeling of good sportsmanship.
II hope that in the years to come
the relations between the two col
leges may always continue a.
friendly as they are now"

In tackling Charley Guyon's Cap

well that 1t is meeting a worthy
foe. During the past two seasons
Central has been hard put to take
the upper hand in the Eastern
meetings.
At best. Central has been able to
get but one touchdown on the East
erners, who generally display their
best wares against the Mt. Pleasant
lads. Aside from the honor Of de-
teating Eastern for a win OF the
championship the Central lads have
all-high school selections IN view
and will put themselves. through
their best PAGES before the critics
who will be "lookin' 'em over"
Central should win. It's powerful
line Is capable of checking Eastern
on line plays and it's alive second.

Charley Moran. famous coach OF

Florida eleven.
when a team travels 1000 miles

the distance ranges around 1000
miles it means giving a two-touch-

Travel robs a football team Of

possible to give the team much rest
