WEST POINT FIGURES
IN UNIQUE BATTLE

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November
10.-A foot ball game unique in sew
eral ways will be played this after
elevens representing the United
States Military Academy and the
Second District Agricultural School
of Arkansas meet. A remarkable
feature of the game will be the un-
usual discrepancy in the size and
standing of the two schools repre-
sented on the field.
: The Army for years has been rec
ognized as one of the leading insti-
tutions of the kind in the world,
while its foot ball teams have been
regarded as among the best in the
country.
The Aggies come from a school
that in few sections would be classed
as a college. 1t is one of four in
stitutions of the kind maintained by
many as 400 students. and the cur
riculum is that of the usual high
school, with agricultural training
added. The boys come mostly from
the farm, many OF them from the
deep woods or the swamp sections,
is almost nil.
Within the state the schools have
been held lightly until recent years,
when the sudden success of the Rus
seFville team brought with it tre-
mendous enthusiasm somewhat like
that aroused by Centre College few
seasons ago. The team has met and
beaten some of the smaller south
western colleges, but few supporters
at home hope for . surprise at West
Point.

be supreme.

prefer to use the extra man in the

They will put as many as eight men

figure on blocking or rushing the

at this point. A blocked kick here
usually gets them score and a
rushed kick is usually a short one, SO
they get the ball near the opponents

HARVARD PRINCETON
BATTLE IS TOPLINER
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associa ted Press
NEW YORK, November 10.-With
the annual Harvard-Princeton battle
as it's outstanding feature, but with
many other engagements equally
promising in thrills. college foot ball
swings into the final stage of the
1923 season this afternoon, Offering
a schedule of games that will attract
the greatest foot ball gatherings of
the season, and on the results of
which will depend the final ratings
of many of the contesting elevens.
The Princeton Harvard contest at
Palmer Memorial Stadium, which
marks the twenty-sixth meeting of
those universities since their series
began. in 1877, finds Harvard installed
a slight favorite. but by no means
certain of victory. Each of the
e1evens has suffered one defeat. Har-
ward losing to Dartmouth and Prince
ton losing to Notre Dame; each also
has been held to tie, Middlebury
turning the trick on the Crimson and
Navy duplicating on the Tiger, and
In consequence no championship. ex-
cept that of the so-called big three, is
at stake.
Despite their unimpressive records,
interest in the game is as keen as in
years the eastern title has hinged
on the outcome, and a crowd of 55,-
900 will cram the Princeton horse
shoe.
Ranking close to the Princeton
Harvard game in the matter of gen.
eral interest is the meeting at the
Polo Grounds Of Cornell and Colum-
bia. For three years the Ithacans,
coached by Gilmour Dobie, have run
roughshod over all foes, and although
the big red team has been generally
picked to win today's engagement,
the fact Columbia is coached by an
other master of foot ball, Percy
Haughton, has aroused much specula-
tion as to just how well the Ithacans
will fare.
Yale, at the bowl, will have Mary
land as its foe, and as Maryland sue
ceeded in inflicting upon Pennsylvania
it's single defeat of the season, a bat
tie bristling with action and one that
will test Yale to the limit is looked
for.
other contests on which much at
tention will center are the meetings
of Penn State and Georgia Tech.
Pennsylvania and Lafayette, Syracuse
and Boston University, Dartmouth
and Brown, Army and Arkansas Ag-
gies, Boston College and Centenary.
Navy and st. Xavier and Williams

Georgia Tech team, which he coached,
was unanimously chosen n the best

The double-pass-also known as
the "criss-cross" and the "reverse"-
was one of the earliest and best
trick plays in the game. 1t is still
a good and dependable stock play
with some of the best teams in the
country, and that because it has
been immeasurably improved by
coaches having worked out methods
of giving it straight interfering sup
port. The play should never be at
tempted near the side line, nor when
the ball is less than thirty-hve yards
out from ones own goal, nor on last
down. 1t is best to spring" it sud-
denly following a series of success
full bucking assaults, when the op-
posing tackles will have been drawn

MIGHT TRADE H0RNSBY,
CARD OFFICIALS ADMIT

NEW YORK, November 10.-Upon
their arrival from Montreal, where they
may place a team in the International
League, replacing Syracuse, Branch
Hickey and Sam. Breadon, respectively,
manager and president OF. the St.. Louis
Nationals denied that Rogers Hornsby,
star second baseman of the Cardinals,
is for sale, although they conceded they
might trade him.
John McGraw, manager of the New
York Nationals. told reporters he would
not give the Cardinals the players they
desired for Hornsby and declined to
name those that had been suggested.
Evening star., 1923-11-10

-
II the St. Louis Nationals should
lose Hornsby. perhaps the first re-
suit would be boycott of the CLUB.
That has happened in other cities. In
time the boycotts have been raised
more because of a newer generation
that has grown up than because OF
the forgiveness of the older crowd.
Chicago Fans Act.
When Kelly and Clarkson were sent
from Chicago to Boston. the first
really big purchase in the history OF
base ball. there is no doubt that Chi
cago interest fell off, and that the ef-
fects were felt for long time. Oddly
enough, the transfer O. those play
ers was made, not because OF the
amount that was involved, for the
money was not needed, but for the
reason that a continuation of cham
pionships for Chicago threatened to
stifle interest throughout the league.
Later in the history of the National
League the Cleveland club was led
into the same altruistic policy by the
Establishments of the New York club.
George Davis, idol of the Cleveland
fans, was exchanged for Buck Ewing
| in. order that the fading hopes of the
Giants might be frightened. Davis
made great difference to the Giants,
but the Cleveland fans never forgave
the move.
Years passed and Cleveland got
over it. Other hands built base ball
up in that city again. But mention
the trade of Davis to an old Cleve-
land fan to this day and you will
loose a tridae of bitterness. There
was sentiment in the old days. But
the lack of it-or rather of anything
like the amount that once existed
is noticeable enough now, even
though there has been a million-dol-
lar world series.
Up to st. Louis Club.
Perhaps the Giants would like to
get more than Hornshy from st.
Louis. Possibly they would like the
first baseman of the St. Louis club,
who would fit in admirably if he
could be got, Its sheer nonsense to
censure the Giants if they can make
such a deal, because the right is
legitimately there to do it. IL ST.
Louis fans should get up and roar
over any such transaction. there
would need be no recrimination for
the Giants. You can't buy if the
other fellow won't sell. And therein
lies the text of all base ball specula-
| tjon.
