After having taken on two South
ern Conference teams, Virginia and
North Carolina State, on success
sive Saturdays, the v. M. /. FLYING
Squadron can expect to enjoy COM
parativeIy easy going until the Car
DINA game In Richmond, November,
10. The Cadets will make their
last appearance on Alumni Field
this season when they meet Emory
and Henry next Saturday. The
Emory outfit is expected to furnish
plenty of opposition, but the real
aim and ambition of the Flying
Squadron is to get out Of the
clutches of the jinx that has cost
" M. the last two games with
the Downhomers.
1t is a peculiar fact that the
". NJ. team this season is largely
composed of ex-backfield men.
Captain Tuck Carlton and Cherry
Watkins, two Of the smoothest
working ends in the section, are
former backs, as is Charlie Bar
bour, the 23O-pound tackle. Smiley

entering v. M. l.. and McCracken
was moved from halfback to guard
only last year.
Ferguson and Hammond. the lat

Conditions in the backfield are

from halfback to fullback. Ryder

MY own To run
IN P|NL|CO
CUP
By LEONARD w. COLLINS.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-Secretary
William p. Riggs, of the Maryland
Jockey Club, announced today that
he had received the positive assur-
ances Of Admiral Cary Il. Grayson,
owner of My Own, that the sensa-
tional son of King James-Bettie
Landon, would be starter in the
Pimlico Cup.
Under the present arrangements
My Own will be entrained and
shipped to- Pimlico Immediately
after the running of the Latonia
championship stakes next Satur-
day.
There is just an outside posi-
bility of the Washington owned
thoroughbred being missing when
post time arrives for the Kentucky
classic.
William p. Burch, who looks after
the racing interests of Admiral
Cary L. Grayson, and Trainer
William HI. Brooks, of the. Salubria
stable, announced before their de-
parture for Kentucky with My
Own, that unless a fast track pre-
walls the King James colt would
not be a starter.
Should it rain between now and
Saturday and leave the going heavy
over the Latonia strip the prob
abilities are that Burch and Brooks
will not wait until Sunday to ship
My Own, but will do so just as
soon as they are positive the race
will be contested in muddy going.
Secretary Riggs also gave out
the very interesting information
that j. S. Cosden's imported jump
err, Dan ", which yesterday won
the rich Manly memorial steepleL
chase, will not again be sent over
the jumps.
The imported son of Elk Voto is
to be pointed for flat racing ex-
clusively. He will make his initial
appearance on the flat in the Pim-
leo Cup, which is over a distance
of two and one-quarter miles.

PENN STATE
OBSTACLE

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. 81.
Trainer Nate Cartmell of Penn
State will be working overtime this
week to get the Nittay Lions in
shape for their third tough grid
battle in as many weeks. Two
weeks ago it was Navy, last Sat
urday it was West Virginia, and
now all that stares Coach Hugo
Bezdek in the face is the scrap
with the indicated Syracuse
eleven, reputed to be one of the
strongest in years, in the Archi-
bald Stadium.
The one hope at Penn State is
that BeZdek will be able to send
his strongest combination against
the Orangemen. This will include
Mike Palm at quarterback and per-
haps Ray Johnson at halfback.
The latter has a very capable I'M
derstudy in Bill Helbig, but PALMS
individual brilliance at the quarter
back post cannot be matched by
any Of the substitute field generals.
Bill Baker, last years yearling
signal caller is probably the best
of the lot but he is not eligible
this fall because he did not com
plete full year of residence.

Old LINE LADS
FACE STRONG
ST. JOHNS
Annapolis Eleven Will Have Its
Best Men in Big Game
on Saturday.

;. s -
st. Johns College, Of Annapolis,
which viii play the University of
Maryland eleven in the College Park
stadium next Saturday, will present
the strongest lineup it has used this
season in the game with the Old
Liners.
Six of the leading players of the
st. Johns team did not play in the
games with Virginia or Washington
and Lee. Virginia beat the Annap-
oils team, 80 to s; and the Generals
routed it, % to 0, but it is safe to
say that neither would have won by
such margins, If at all, had St.
Johns eleven not been minus it's
mainstays. They were kept out by
injuries and scholastic difficulties,
but all will be ready for Saturdays
clash with the Black and Gold.
Return of the st. Johns stars and
the fact that Maryland's two regular
guards. Hall and Hough, are on the
hospital list, has made the followers
of the College Park team little ner-
vous over the game. st. Johns is
just as heavy, IL not heavier, than
Maryland, Scout Country Morris has
reported, and has backfield that
has both heft and speed.
AT any rate, they are taking the
game seriously out at College Park.
They remember what happened
when Maryland held the Johnnies
too cheaply in 1921 In a game in An
napOlis and the Old Liners absorbed
a very unexpected beating to the
tune of to 8. Maryland thought it
could whip the Johnnies with several
substitutes in the lineup. It tried
but found out differently Maryland
win not try this stunt Saturday.

Of ENGLISH
RACE
Epinard, French Entry, Loses
100000 for His
Owner.

NEWMARKET. Eng, Oct. 3D.
Epinard, Frances greatest three
year-old race horse, was defeated in
the Cambridgeshire stakes today,
running second. Verdict, an English
horse, won the race. Unas finished
third.
Epinard's defeat was shock to
Pierre Wertheimer, owner of the
horse. Had Epinard won, Wortheim-
er would have been enriched by APP
proximately 100000 as the result of
a freak wager made months ago.
Wertheimer bet 1000 pounds on
Rose Prince at 80 to l to win the
Cesarewitch stakes, the winnings TO
90 on Epinard. Rose Prince easily
won the Cesarewitch and Wertheim-
er. as a result, had 10000 pounds on
Epinard to win today's race.

Figured solely on an east versus
west proposition, the honors lie with
the section where men are men or
nothing at all, largely due to the
fact that Notre Dame has just
completed successful sorties against
the Army and Princeton
AS matter Of fact, If it wasn't
Tor the Hoosiers, western football
would have little to say for publ
cation on this particular subject;
Notre Dame has done most of the
lntersectional playing and most of
the winning. AS late as Saturday

West Point successes with a VIC
tory over Georgia Tech. The only
other western triumphs were scored
by Michigan over Vanderbilt and
