 An example of the ships durability she struck on shallow ground on the ahead and, bounding like a jack rab bit, hit eight or nine times before finally going clear into deep water. She ripped off her shoe and split the keel but 1t was not until a few weeks ago when she was put into drydock that this damage was repaired. De. spite this, the vessel went through the entire trip without trouble and there was comparatively little water in her when she was pumped out on her return home.

PRO FOOT BALL PLAY
IS SCORED BY stage

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November 2.-Branding
professional foot ball as a menace"
working for the destruction OF the
college game, Amos Alonzo Stagg,
sixty-two-year-old director of ath-
letics at the University of Chicago,
has addressed a letter "to all friends
of college foot BALI urging them to
refrain from in any manner encour-
aging the professional sport Stage.
whose reputation for the development
of amateur athletics has made him
national figure, declared that to pat
ronize Sunday professional foot ball
is to cooperate with the forces
which are destructive of the inter
scholastic and intercollegiate foot
ball and to add to the heavy burden
of the schools and colleges in pre-
serving it in it's ennobling worth.
Declaring that foot ball, when
played with the amateur spirit. pos
sessed more elements for the devel-
opment of character and manhood
than any other sport. Coach Stagg
said that 'if you believe in preserving
interscholastic and intercollegiate
foot ball for the upbuilding of the
present and future generations of
clean, healthy. right minded and pa
triotic citizens you will not lend your
assistance to any of the forces help
ing to destroy IL.
There is nothing a bunch of gam
blers will not do for their purpose,
and quite often they carry along with
them the support of a group of well
meaning citizens" the veteran coach
wrote.
stngg Wrong, Says Carr.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. November q
Joseph F. Carr. president of the Ma
tional Foot Ball League. last night,
after reading the statement of Amos
Alonzo Stagg. athletic director of the
University of Chicago. in which he
described professional foot ball as a
menace to the college game. de-
clared that such statement is "en-
tirely without foundation"
On the contrary. Carr declared. the
league is doing all within its power
to build up the game. and lit is a
matter of common knowledge that
the National Foot Ball League has
done more in its few years of exist
ence to purify foot ball generally and
make young men walk the straight
and narrow path in regard to their
amateur status than any other agency
that has ever tried it."
Regarding stars playing under as
sumed names. Carr asserted, our or
ganization will not countenance any
thing that savors of deceit in any
way

None the less it would seem as
though Cornelrs rugged strength, her

exert pressure too great for Dart

On the other hand Dartmouth has
given. time to studying methods of
stopping the Dobie running attack

the possibility she may wreck the

All in all Cornell looks to have the
better chance to win, but Dartmouth's
prospects of victory, just the same.

AS to Chicago Illinois, upon the
basis of comparative scoreS-wh:ch

tage. In versatility of attack. she
has shown herself to have weapons
that Chicago does not possess or at
least has not employed to date
Again, there is the impression that

he has a great triple threat, but this
star has not yet been so employed.
And Rune Clark is yet to be heard

On form Illinois gets the shade in
this game. though it may degenerate
into nothingness when the game actual
ly is played.
Ynle-Army. Two teams who play
pretty much the same type of game.
But the cadets to date have not
seemed so sprightly and versatile as
Yale. On the other hand there would
seem to be a better balanced line At
West Point. The contest should be
very close.
IOwa-Michigan = Another important
game between strong teams. AT the
beginning of the season the Hawk
eyes had to fill many vacant places,
but the material was there and How
ard Jones has developed it. Just now
the elevens seem very evenly match
ed in all departments except kicking,
where Kipke may succeed in turning

FRESHMEN WIN MEET
STAGED AT HILLTOP

When Georgetown University track
athletes braved the chilly weather to
stage their annual interclass track
and field meet yesterday, the freshmen
won with forty-two points, but 1t
took Tony Plansky. sophomore, to
step into the limelight after he had
copped three first places Besides a
record breaking heave of 173 feet and
3h inches in the javelin, which is
better than the South Atlantic mark.
Plansky won the discus and shotput
Two other athletes showed their
wares to good effect. William Dowd-
ing. a freshman, copped first place in
the 100, when he made the distance
in 10 2-5 seconds. He also leaped
twenty-five feet and nine inches to
takes first in the running broad jump.
Vernon Ascher, a transfer from Illi-
nois, did exceptionally well in the
quarter, which he won in SO 3-5 sec
onds.
Sophomores won second place with
thirtv- three points. while the juniors
got third, with fourteen. The seniors
registered four points.

was the case, instead of great game
at Hanover, a rather easy contest for
Cornell might result.
Pennsylvania-Pittsb and SYRIA
cuse-Penn State should be splendid
contests. Both ought to show much
that may be regarded as the Summum
bonum of foot ball.
The biggest game in the South At
lantic section is that scheduled at
Lexington between Washington and
Lee and Virginia. Virginia surprised
the Generals a year ago by literally
and figuratively wiping up the grid
iron with them at Charlottesville.
This year the college that bears the
names of the two greatest generals
America has produced hopes to turn
the tide. In this game Greasy
Neale's coaching system will get it's
second real trial in big contest with
another Virginia institution. 1t would
be one of the great upsets of the
South Atlantic season If Virginia
were to get away with the long end
of the score.
Out in the middle west two of the
greatest games of the western con-
ference season are to be played. At
Urbana the University OF Illinois will
meet Chicago's powerful eleven, while
a Iowa City the University of Iowa
is to lock horns with the University
two contests probably will vie with
each other for titular honors in the
conference.
A game is to be played at New York
which should develop some real foot
ball, Lafayette and Washington and
Jefferson being scheduled. Last year
it was Washington and jefferson
through a great rally near the close
OF the contest that broke Lafayette's
long
like score of IA to 13, after it ap-
peared that Lafayette was almost
certain winner. Both teams are well
coached and both have in their line
ups brilliant players.
Navy takes on rather tough op-
poncnt in Colgate. However. Colgate's
fine showing against Ohio State at
the beginning of the season does not
appear to have meant so much as
Ohio State has since failed to put up
a very great front when faced by
other conference elevenS. Also Cor
nell found little difficulty getting the
long end of the score in it's game with
the Colgate aggregation. Unless Col
gate is in better shape than when it
faced Cornell, Navy ought to win.

Maryland and st. Johns have been
playing foot ball games since 1892 and
the game has long been one of the most
important on the schedules of the two

intense. And 1t is fact that when
the two schools met last, two years
ago, st. Johns walked jubilantly off

Gallaudet expects to beat the Tank
Corps. The Kendall Greeners are very
much encouraged over their fine game
at Philadelphia last week and feel
that any team they face from now
on Will have to play exceptional foot
ball to get away with the long end
of the score against them. Catholic

tie of the kind of team it will face at
Roanoke College. Coach Gormleys
men think they ought to have an even
chance to win. basing their opinion
on the comparative strength of the
two schools in recent years.

Philadelphians into camp last week
the HatchetiteS figured they were GO
ing to take tomorrows contest, as
they are unanimous in the thought
that their team is just as capable as
that which represents Gallaudet.
That fnl@-Army game at New Haven
stands out as the most important in
the east this week, exceeding in i'm
portance even such contests as those
between Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh
at Philadelphia, Syracuse and Penn
state at Syracuse, and Cornell and
Dartmouth at Hanover. -.
Yale has been rated many times
this season as one of the strongest
elevens in the east. Whether it will
attain rank as the highest will be
answered in the game Saturday. If
foot ball men will doubt that Yale is
the best eleven east of the Alle-
ghanies. and all will feel sure that
it should be ranked among the two
or three best in the whole country.
If Army is victor. a different situation
by far is certain.
Cornell and Dartmouth. provided
the latter has recovered from it's Har-
ward triumph, may put UP great
game. However, 1t may be that Har-
ward is much weaker than usual and
that Dartmouth'S 16-to-0 victory did

strength for Dartmouth as might or

How Foot Ball Is Played
by SOL METZGER-

CPEED is the one thing the
- modern team must have. The
big man is usually slow. If so, he is
a handicap to the modern team.
Take the case of heavy, slow driv-
ing back, who formerly starred as
line plunger If he is used today
and is able to make consistent gains
he is usually handicap on defense.
The modern foot ball team has to
have speed, and speed to burn. in its
backfield when on defense. These
men are relied upon to break up a
forward passing attack. Now the
forward pass is usually most sue
cessful when the men who receive
it can outrun the defensive backs
designated to cover them. If they
try passing and find a slow defensive
back facing them the scheme is to
use a fast end or back to outrun
him. Then. a passing attack will be
successful nine times out of ten
Another reason why speed counts
today more than ever is that the play
is more open. The ball moves rapid
ly about the field and team must
be able to follow it in order to get
the breaks. Slow men are at COM
plete loss in such a game. They
can't keep up with it, and their fail
ure to do so means that the other
team has the better chance to take
advantage of the breaks when they
occur.
Even the modern lineman must
have speed. He is used far more
than ever before and his duties carry
him to all parts of the field. One
of the things required of him is to
make interference on certain wide
runs If he lacks speed he can't
get to the point of attack in time
to interfere. Consequently, the at
tack is weakened.
The ideal type of man for the mod
ern game is the rangy, fast boy
who is quick at starting and able
to cover a great deal, of ground. He
causes more trouble in a foot ball
game than any other fellow on the
field. 1t is all due to the fact that he
has speed. He also makes the best
type of lineman because he can out
play the big, heavy. slow man.
