Army supporters are not offering
any odds on the Third Corps eleven
to defeat the Marines, but they are
showing a quiet confidence which IS
making the Marines sit up and take
notice. Until now the Gyrenes have
ranked a favorite to win this service
contest, but it is possible that the
betting viii be even money by the
time the two squads arrive In the
Capital.
Coaches Surles and Breidster are
pleased at the return to form OF big
Pat Timberlake. This former West
Point star is vicious line plunger,
and he viii be given plenty of oppoT-
tunity to show His speciality against
the Marines.
Hahn and Dodd, who have been
badly used up during the season, are
also in good shape; and, even though
they may not start, are sure to see
action against the Marines.
Lieutenant GOettge, the Marines
most brilliant performer, win start
at quarterback against the Army
here Saturday. He has been work
ing ont In that position for several
weeks, and the Marines coaches
are satisfied that he viii shine as
-
Sanderson, a crack halfback, is
again in good condition and is to
start in the lineup against the Army
eleven. Neal, fullback, is first
choice for the big game, but Henry's
fine work in the intensive drills at
Quantico is boosting his stock
nightly.
Lieut.. Johnny Beckett, former
Oregon Aggies' star tackle, will
probably start for the Marines in
his old position, being paired with
Idversedge, who earned his spurs
with the Golden Bears of California
University. Beckett has been
coaching the Marines all season,
hut is eligible to face the Army
here on Saturday.
If Beckett plays he win replace
Hunt, star of the v. NJ. I. eleven
of 1922, who is ineligible for this
game. Hunt has played brilliantly
for the Marines all season and is
sure TO be missed.
Bill Roper, with Dickinson, and
Mccormick, from the Princeton
coaching staff, is giving the
Leathernecks pointers on offensive
football, which is expected to carry
the team down the field against all
opposition.
PrincetOn's daring forward
paSsing game will probably be
shown by the Marines in direct
contest 10 the West Point close
formations used by the Third
Corps eleven.
Promises Of pleasant weather area
bring ng interest in the big game
Of Saturday, and, though many
tickets remain unscld, it isl believed |
that the big rush between now and |

Washington's football season has
not been much. Indeed, this seI~lce
game between the Marines and the
Third Corps promises the best foot
ball Of the entire season. Official

from their ways of worldiness. There
We're several additions to the church
