PACIFIC CLAIMS
ALL-ANER|CAN
CANDIDATE

SPOKANE, Oct. 24-while East
ern critics have not been in the
habit Of looking very far West in
picking their mythical All-American
football teams, followers OF the
Gonzaga University eleven declare
that the wise gridiron expert will
think twice this fall before leaving
off the name Of Houston Stockton,
Gonzaga's left halfback, from the
honor roll.
Few Pacific Coast football stars
have a better claim to national
recognition than Stockton. Vir-
tually every Western critic who
saw the youngster in action last
season declared him one Of the best
on the Coast. Andy Smith, coach
on the coast. Andy Smith. coach
fornia eleven, halls Stockton as one
OF the greatest backfield stars ever
developed in the West. Coach
| Spear, of West Virginia, Walter
Eckersall. premier football critic of
the Middle West, and Coach Hugo
Bezdeck, of Penn State, all unite in
declaring Stockton's playing in the
Gonzaga-West Virginia game at San
Diego last Christmas equal to that
of any halfback in the country

Three Successive Defeats,
Have Back TO Wall.

With it's back against the wall
after three successive reverses at
the hands OF the Marines, Prince
ton and Georgia Tech, Georgetown
is getting ready to put on a des-
perate battle Saturday against the
Third Corps eleven in an effort to
redeem itself. To lose three in a
row is decidedly a novel trans
action for a Hilltop team in any
row of sport, and it requires quite
a stretch of memory to recall when
it happened before in Hilltop grid
iron history. Consequently, the
squad is In a fighting mood and
will extend itself considerably in
a bitter effort for a victory.
While the Hilltoppers are erratic,
they have shown frequent flashes
Of form and it is hoped that with
some big game experience under
their belts they will find them
selves Saturday and give the Sol
diers a strenuous argument for
the honorg. While injuries during
the last few weeks have been
heavy, the entire squad, with the
exception Of Paul Florence, Is
rounding into condition and the
captain IL likely to be the only
absentee Saturday.

He was reminded of the fact that

NEALE PEEVED

SHOWING
Virginia Grid Mentor Plans
Many Changes in Var
sity Lineup.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. Ia
Changes in the lineup Of the vir-
ginia team will probably come as the
direct result Of the poor showing
made against Virginia Military In
stitute last Saturday, for Coach
Neale and his squad of players
realize that there are five hard
games still to be played.
Carter Diffey, who played end In
the st. Johns and ". M. /. games.
has been shifted back to the place
behind the line in which he was
given trial earlier in the year. And
before the week is over it is expected
that Coaches Neale and Kellison will
have worked out other alterations
to strengthen the varsity eleven.
Rain interfered with practice
yesterday, but it did not prevent the
coaches from giving the regulars a
stiff workout Trinity is the next
team to be played, and even though
the eleven from Durham was de-
feated by William and Mary, the
showing against North Carolina was
sufficient to indicate fighting
strength.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24
physical strength to take his turn.
The others-well, where are they?
Silence is Folly.

Silence is Folly.
GONE may say that we should
- not handle this situation just
~ like this, but our reply is
that silence is folly. Clark Grit
fifth kept silent as to his reasons
for dismissing DOME Bush and
see what happened. He is on the
defense and will probably be there
next year.
Given the players on the Wash
ing reserve list for 1924, John ].
McGraw could do little. That's
why we refuse to become excited
about the identity of the 1924
manager. It doesn't matter.
If Bush's successor has as much
luck as Bush had the team may
finish in fourth place, providing
the White Sox, Brownies and
Mackmen fall apart. It may do
better if some other team tumbles.
The American League, though
winning the world series, is not
much to crow about. The Wash
ington club is deteriorating rap
idly and lie about to be strapped,
whether President Griffith admits
it or not.
DOME Bush, Sam Rice and Pink
Hargrave had to pitch to batters
on the second western trip of the
Griffs last summer because there
was nobody else to do it. Could
Bush be blamed that he had only
seventeen men with him? Or
that his pitchers were sick or
injured? Could his successor be
blamed, either?
We'd like nothing better than
to see Washington with the pen
nant in 1924, but we don't ex-
pect to see this miracle. Indeed,
unless something radical happens
in the roster, we don't. expect to
see this miracle happen at any
time.
AS for next year, no matter
who is manager, the Griffs are
more likely to finish in the Sec
ond DIVISION than in the first. AS
a team they are about done and
no manager can do much with
them.

POINTING
SQUAD FOR
TARHEELS
College Parkers Anxious to
Avenge Defeat at Hands
OF v. P.l.

A lively scrimmage was the menu
prescribed today for the University
Of Maryland football players who
are getting ready for the big game
with North Carolina University In
the stadium at College Park Satur.
day.
Maryland is particularly anxious
to score over the Tarheels for two
reasons. One Is to retrieve the de-
feat suffered at the hands of vir.
ginia Poly last Saturday and the
other Is because Carolina has won
for the past two seasons. Maryland
last win over her old rival was in
Chapel Hill in 1920, when the ola
line team got the long end of 13-
too count.
Carolina, which is coached by
Bill Fetzer, always has a fast well
drilled team, and according to re-
ports Of Scout Country Morris, this
year offers no exception to the rule.
Fetzer's teams are known for the
versatility of their attack and for
being well grounded in the finer
points of the game,
Maryland intended to have a long
session on the field yesterday, but
the cold, driving rain caused Coach
Byrd to decide to have his charges
listen to a prolonged blackboard talk
on their repertoire Of plays.
Most of the nearly 5000 seats in
the new stand are expected to be
occupied at Saturdays game. Not
only fs-the contest of a very attrac-
tive nature, but the popular price
of 81 will prevail.
A new press box is being finished
and will be used by the scribes for
the first time Saturday.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24

Twelve stakes are to be decided
during the meeting. A fixture viii
be contested each racing day. The
programmed feature for the inau-
gural card viii be the renewal Of
the Manly Memorial Steeplechase,
the richest jumping event held In
Maryland each year. The Manly
carries an added value Of $4,000.
OF greatest interest, however, Is
the third renewal of the Pimlico
Futurity. AS the date for the run
ming of the Futurity draws near,
it being down for decision Saturday,
November 3, two facts stand out
in connection with this classic.
The first Is that practically
every tWO-yeaF-Old which has
shown anything at all during the
current season Is eligible to start
and secondly that 1t ID 3 very
open affair, for with but one or
two exceptions no Juvenile has
thus far shown his unquestlOned
superiority over the others OF the
Same age.
Among the more prominent ju.
veniles which are almost certain to
face the barrier in this richest q
all two-year-old stakes, are the Bel.
air studs Aga Khan, August Bel
mont's Lucky Day, Giffor O.
Cochran's Revenue Agent, j. s. Cos.
denis Lord Baltimore, I'd, Walter M.
Jeffords' Cockney, the Sa1ubr1a
stables Fluvanna, George d. Wide
ner's st. James, and others.
The first Futurity was won by
Benjamin Blocks Norwich, and last
year when the stake was run in
two divisions, the Idle Hour Stock
Farms Blossom Time and Willis
Sharpe Kilmer's Sally's Alley were
the respective winners.
Arthur Johnon, the only real
rival to Earl Sande, has set a rec
ord in this fixture. He has piloted
all three winners, thereby eQualing
the record of Steve Donoghue, who
won the English Derby three times
in succession.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24

Kid Gleason, according to some
rumor mongers, is to be the next
Washington manager. Franl

successor. But nobody is going to

ish in fourth place in 1923 and
probably wouldn't have done 50
but for the utter collapse of the
Chicago White Sox and the poor
Work Of the st. Louis Browns.
Clark Griffith is seeking a ca
pable man for first base, though
Joe Judge, the best hitter on the
team this year and easily the most
popular player in the Washington
lineup, is not done yet. Judge has
reached that stage in his career
when brittleneSs interferes with his
value and the clubs boss is looking
for his successor. But Joe will be
out there next year and should be
able to play some good ball while
in shape.
Bucky Harris, while not the
greatest second baseman in the
world, is in there every day and.
working with a fast shortstop like
Roger Peckinpaugh, can help out
on those double plays. Further
more, Harris is made of iron. He
can be counted on for next year.
Roger Peckinpaugh is aging
though he played brilliantly in the
field in the 1923 campaign. How
long he can continue is a mystery
Prothro and Murray, both Of
whom had trials at third base, are
not expected to make good.
In other words, the Washington
infield of 1924 is likely to be
weaker than it was this past sea-
son. Judge is good as he long as
he lasts, but who can say how long
that will be? Peck is getting older
every year and there is no third
sacker, allowing that Ossie Bluege
like Judge, is too brittle for steady
duty at the hot corner. Indeed
Bluege is a better shortstop than
third sacker and may succeed Peck
when the latter reaches his end.

The Washington times., 1923-10-24


In the Navy game State scored
three touchdowns. and it was Harry
Wilson who scored them, and each
after long run. The first came IN
the second period when the chunky
halfback intercepted pass intended
for Mckee right at midfield, from
where he dashed unmolested for q
touchdown.
Immediately after this he took the
kickoff on his own 5-yard line and
went ninety-five yards for another
score. And then to complete the
Nittany scoring for the day, he broke
clear on an off tackle and ran sew
onty yards for a touchdown.
This is Wilson's third year Of
varsity football at State. He
broke into the lineup two years
ago as sophomore in the men,

Palm is an exceedingly fast man
and will give the Mountaineers

succeeds in getting loose.
In the Navy contest it was Fol-
well who opened up a forward pass
attack and not Bezdek as is usually
the case. State possibly was keer-
ing their aerial attack under cover
once they were two touchdowns in
the lead.
