Haskell indians Have More

As the football season advances
more college elevens are gradually
crossing the century mark in scor-
ing. Cornell is the leader, having
passed the second century on Sat
urday, its total Of points now being
2I9.
This number, however, is 10S be-
hind that credited to the Haskell
Indians, who have made 322 in six
games, said to be a record for the
season among elevens either col
Iegiate or otherwise While rolling
up it's points Cornell has held OPP
posing teams to 26 points. Yale
and Syracuse each have made a
total of ia points: Army, III; Col
gate, 1913, and Holy Cross, 1853;
while their defense has been broken
through for "a, 8, so, Sc and s
points, respectively.
OF the Western elevens Notre
Dame has a total of 1875 points.

VIRGINIA must
TRAVEL FOR
BIG GAME
Orange and Blue Battles
Georgia Bulldogs in Far
South Next Saturday.

CHARLOTTESVILL Va, Nov.
5.-For the third season in success
sion Virginia will go to Athens to
play Georgia. The contest next
Saturday is to be the big home
game Of the Bulldogs, who have
not been in action on their home
field for several weeks, and who will
not play there again until the final
contest Of the season.
Rivalry between Virginia and
Georgia dates back only ten years,
but the feeling has grown stronger
each season. After q contest played
in 1897 the two elevens did not
meet again until 1918, when Vir-
ginia was victorious Virginia has
won four Of the nine games played
and lost two.
Three games have been tied with
in the last four seasons. in 1910
the score was to q, In 1920 II
was to and in 1922 it was
to s.
Virginia hopes to meet Georgia
with q stronger line than was used
against washington and Lee, for II
may be possible that both Captain
BIackford and Fred Thesmar viii
be in fit condition for the Athens
affair. There is no hope of jim
weaver being out again this year
but IL he can count on all his
other men Coach Neale should be
able to build up a strong line be
fore next Saturday.
Al welI-placed drop kick would
have given Virginia victory last
wear. for several chances to add
noints went wild. If similar sit
IIations arise this season Benny
Arnold's ability will probably be
called into play. Arnold has already
accounted for twelve points by fielt
goals and has missed only one try
for point this season.

afternoons of practice, for the Cava
Iier squad will have to leave Thurs

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A tie be-

the final matches in the interna-

pionship this afternoon and tonight.
Hoppe and Schaefer, chronic rivals,

Five times in succession now have

If they ever win a game, they
may be expected to do so by a
huge score, if only through sheer

Georgetown's failure at Boston
was more or less expected, but
the sloppy handling of the ball
caused a larger score than might

greatest football player Inter-
esting subject that, the greatest
players of various colleges. In
some cases the mind instantly
turns to one man, in others the
field is large and a choice diff
cult. If you mention West Vir-
ginia the first name to enter the
mind is that of Ira Rodgers, now
helping Spears as coach of the
Mountaineers, and a first-class
running back, kicker and forward
passer. He swamped Princeton
all by himself not a great while

that feat is possible.

Harvard it's leading candidate for
the place in Tack Hardwick, but
the choice at Yale is wider. You
could go back to Heffelfnger or
take somebody since then, Coy or
Thorne. Probably many folks
now don't remember Thorne, but
as a kicker, runner, tackler and
everything else which makes a
first-class player he qualified to a
greater, extent, some think, than
Butterworth or Coy.

greatest, and Benny Boynton

Increased Prices
Not Warranted.

INCREASED prices of admission for
= motion pictures are not warranted
under existing conditions, in the opin-
ion of w. w. Hodkinson, president of
the w. w. Hodkinson Corporation and
pioneer film man. Questioned as to
the situa tion, Mr.. Hodkinson said:
II believe that any move intended
to generally increase the admission
prices of motion picture theaters at
the present time, to offset the alleged
waste In the industry, will result in
failure. Motion pictures are having
difficulty enough maintaining attend
ances at the present admission scale,
and 1t is my belief that increased
quality in production is necessary in
order to maintain even the present
prices.
"The hope of increased revenue to
support the picture industry is wider
circulation of motion pictures at pres
ent or lower prices, rather than any
endeavor to force the public to pay
for all of the waste that the present
competitive condition in the produo-
ton field has forced on the industry.
