sCHARLOTTESV1L Va, Nov.
1O.-The University OF Virginia and
Virginia POLYTECHNIC Institute will
clash on the Lambeth Field grid
iron next Saturday in the first foot
ball engagement between the two
State schools since 1905.
Records of the two - elevens
through this season. show that they
are evenly enough matched for The
game to be an interesting one from
every standpoint. And the advance
sale, Of tickets is an indication that
the contest will be seen by the
largest crowd that has been at
tracted to Lambeth Field this sea-
son.
Virginia Tech is sending her
senior class over to the game and
the presence of these cadets will
be additional attraction to the v.
p. ]. alumni, who are anxious to
see the first meeting of the two
teams in eighteen years.
Virginia alumni are already writ
ing into d. e. Brown, graduate
manager, for tickets in the re-
served section Of the stadium.
Before gridiron relations between
Virginia and v. p. I. were severed
the teams had clashed seven times,
with the University the victor IN
every engagement but the final one.
This Is to be the last home game

Neale and his squad are setting
their faces to the task of winding
up the season in a better style than
1t was started. The squad will
leave Athens tonight and should
reach here tomorrow afternoon. A
light practice will start things OFF
Monday, but by Tuesday the squad
will be down to the hard work OF
getting in shape to give battle to
the Blacksburg boys.

British Heavyweight
Crown Without
Suitable Head

The influence Of the American
fashions in sport is far reaching.
The English boxing authorities
have decided that Joe Beckett
has neither the inclination nor
the ability to hold the English
heavyweight title in the manner
to which it has been accustomed,
so, following the style set by the
New York State boxing COM
mission, Beckett's title has been
taken away from him.
The English boxing authori-
ties go the boxing sdlons here
one better, because they took
Beckett's title away before they
had any one else to give it to.
So England today has a heavy
weight crown and not a brow to
rest it on. Like Bombardier
Wells, there is nothing left for
Beckett to do now but take up
golf.

game that won, 13 to IL.

Mike Gordon, on his nettle, toured
as a star, knowing big things were
expected of him, tried with all the
might OF his powerful young body.
For about five minutes in the open
Ing period he was q vital force in
Central's attack.
Then the star OF Pugh began to
ascend. 1t grew brighter ana
brighter. Finally it's brilliancy
dlmmed the sparkle of Gordon.
When the day was done there was
no doubt as to which was the better
Football player, Pugh or Gordon. or
the better team, Tech or Central.
G0rdOn's speed was matched by
TTugh: Gordon was thought to be
the fastest runner on the high
schO0i grid. Evidently he under

anu relied on 1t too much. Time

The official records would show
that Duffy negotiated the century
run in 8 3-5 seconds more often
than Paddock, and not only that,
but at the intercollegiate, when
Duffy was officially credited with
mis- record, three stop watches
caught him at 92-5 seconds and
two at 8 3-5 seconds. The A. A.
u. recognized the latter as the
official time.
Both Paddock and Duffy use
awkward styles in running. Duffy's
arm motion was like man ice
skating, swinging his arms across
his body from right to left, leaning
far forward.
Paddock has no form whatever,
just simply a get there" style.
In getting off the mark, be-
lieve that all who have seen both
be faster than Paddock. In fact,
the Georgetown flyer was un-
.canny I'm beating the pistol by q
fraction Of q second.
After the take-off Paddock ap-
pears to be the faster up to four
or five yards from the finish, but
here again is where Duffy would
have the advantage in his ability
to throw himself at the tape.
though Western writer's give the
Pacific coast wonder the credit of
being the originator of this trick.
Duffy's ability to get off the
mark faster than Paddock and his
wonderful finish would, in the writ
er's opinion, place him a winner by
several feet in q race with Paddock.
That is another thing that would
make Duffy a favorite in such a
race.
Many will remember Dan Kelly,
the old Pacific coast wonder. cred
tied with 3-5 seconds for the 100.
yard dash. and the results when he
measured strides with runners in
could not equal 1915 seconds to
win.
A race between Paddock and
Wefers in the 220-yard run would
be an interesting event to wit
ness, with the result very un-
certain. IL would be q test Of
peBfect style or form against
gtrength-Wefers with his body
erect, his cIOcElike, regular stride
and arm motion, and Paddock
running in his awkward but pow
erful style.
Irrespective of the outcome of
this race, we must concede that
Wefers was a better all-around run
ner than either Paddock or Duffy.
He was a champion not only in
the 150-yard and 220-yard run, but
at all distances up to 40 yards,
whereas neither Paddock nor Duffy
could ever hope of running dis
tances over 220 yards on account
Of their awkward styles and wasted
energy.
In proof Of this, the writer wit
messed Duffy's attempt to runs two
laps around the old Convention Hall
against time many years ago, with
other members Of the Georgetown
track team. when trials were being
run for the relay team. It Is suf-
ncient to say that Duffy's time
was the poorest Of the day.

When Tech started, each and
every wearer of the gray had
uppermOst In mind: watch Cor
dOn?' Before the battle had gone
far, CentraIs big thought was:
stop Pugh!"
But there was no stopping of
Pugh. There was no halting of
Pugh. He ripped, smashed, dashed
through the Central eleven and
around it and once sent the pig
skin flying over 1t for a field goal.
Pugh knocked Mike Gordon off
the hero's pedestal and climbed
there himself. There he IL likely
to remain until the present high
school championship series is done
and the title trophy rests in a
conspicuous place somewhere in
Mckinley Manual Training School.
There it will rest, without much
doubt, for when Pugh swept aside
Central and Gordon he virtually
cleared the road to the champion
ship. Tech has yet to meet Eastern
and Business, but has no cause for
apprehension.
will be too much for Eastern
and Business, or games played
so far In the series mean moth
ing In the way Of dope.
The story OF the Central-Tech
game is a yarn of one star foot
ball player We. another. Central's
chief reliance was Gordon, and
Techs was PuRh.
BY a wide margin the victory
was Pugh's. He tore off gain after
gain, seldom failing when trusted
with the ball. Once he ran twenty
six yards, sixteen yards and six
yards in successive efforts and then
kicked a field goal.
Early in the contest, he intercept-
ed a forward pass and made his
way fifty-eight yards to within six
of the Central goal. Gooch pounded
the line for a touchdown. 1t was
wallop that hurt Central.
In the last two minutes Teen
got the ball to within few yards
of CentraPs goal. Central, fighting
hard to the very last, braced and
Tech was held for two downs.
Then young Mr.. Pugh was called
on. He did exactly what was ex-
pected of him.
This last touchdown was unneces-
sary. Central was Inundated with
out it. Tech had outclassed it's foe.
AS Pugh plunged for the last touch
down, it was like the deliverance of
a last powerful blow to make sure
the enemy is dead. At that, Cen
trail died fighting. There was no let
up in spirit in the Central team,
even when it became a certainty
that the day was lost.

A Baltimore girl recently had to
pay an income tax on prize money
and a $1,000, gown she won in a
beauty show.
Uncle Sam held that the money
and gown constituted earnings from
beauty capitalized. So Uncle Sam
collects.
1t won't be a popular decision. The
next time the local palladium of lib
erty tries to increase it's circulation
by seeking out the fairest daughter
within the range of it's pure reading
matter, said fairest daughter may
think twice before she offers her
photograph for the competition.
If the editor offers a trip to the
state fair, an unabridged dictionary
or a cut glass water set, all well and
good. Revenue agents probably
wouldn't trouble themselves over
such small pickings.
But this is a serious matter that
menaces the freedom of the press.
The inalienable right of newspap-
ers to hold beauty contests in one OF
the fundamental principles of de-
mocracy. Not only do they enliven
otherwise drab lives of editors but
they promote conservation among
neighbors. Also among the ninety

testants who did not win.
Beauty. like virtue, should be en-
titled to keep its own reward. It's
rather mean of Uncle Sam to ex-
act q manifestly unfair tax.
