Evening star., 1923-10-15

Spectacular forward passes and brill
hant punting featured the play OF ooth
elevens. From a spectators point OF
view It would have been difficult to
stage better game than that contest
In 1921.
Last year Maryland went to Blacks
burg and took a beating by Il to 0. the
great eleven that represented V. +. l.
was too strong in every way for the
College Parkers, many rating it as the
most powerful aggregation IN the
south. This year V. p. l. has in It's
tne-up practically the same men who
drubbed the Marylanders at that time.
Time Robs 1t of Victory.
y.P. I. has been defeated once this
season. that time last Saturday when
1t went down before the stellar aggre-
CATION representing the Sd Army Corps,
BY 21 to H. And accounts of the game
In Baltimore papers indicate that the
only thing that prevented v. P. I. win
ming was a few seconds in which TO
run another play. The game wound up
with v. P. l. in possession OF the pan
on the 2-yard line. A Sd Army corps
alone that saved the game for us;
In it's backfield V. P. l. has in SUIT
ton one of the best broken-field rum
ners i'm the south. He is especially
good at returning a kick k-off and punt
and in about everything that has to do
of fact, Sutton Is brilliant in back
field made up Of exceptionally clever
players. Flory, a back. who halls from
California, is little II any less enective
than Sutton. 1t was Flory VINO dla
most of the running against the Mary
landers a year ago. and at that time
V. p. l. did not have Sutton In the
game, a broken shoulder keeping him
out.
aIayay made I'm exclusively
of MARYLAND and District of Columbia
nroducts. Eight of the eleven men who
Started the game against Philadelphia
are graduates of Washington high
schools. That these youngsters VIII 90
against V. p. I. as n team is Indicated
by their record so far. Not only have
they won all three of the games played
but not one of their opponents mas
had the ball within their 20-yard line.
Whatever Maryland may do against V.
p I. this week, one thing seems sure
that the game as a whole will be a
splendid exhibition Of hard fighting foot
ban.
Georgetown fought the hardest
kind Of a game against Princeton
hut could not overcome the handf-
caps under which it lahored. Ine
Tigers. in the first place. had second
those of it's players who started IN"
contest Georgetown made 1ns
about the kind of showing thai
should have been expected of it. ana
those alumni who expected more
simply were mistaken in Their 1udg-
mont of the caliber of the Princeton
eleven.
What Princeton is> going to he q
week hence should never be judged
by what 1t is on any Saturday. the
comparison of the kind of foot ball
played on succeeding Saturdays by
Princeton was well exemplified last
year by a game in which south
ern school played there. A scout
from the southern school watched
Princeton play and took back to his
team this report: "They are very
weak: we have just as good a team
as they and have a good chance to
knock them off,
Princeton won the game with that
team by four touchdowns and prob
ably could have won by six or seven
Just as easily had it been minded to
use its varsity for a longer period
than the first half.
Vnirginia's eleven got going right
for the first time in it's three games
and trounced st. Johns by 80 to 8.
