Final Practice for Maryland
at Central Stadium Satur-
day Held at BIacksburg

BLACKSBURG, Va, Oct. 15.-
The Virginia Tech football war
riors are putting on the finish
ing touches for their big battle
with Maryland at the Central
stadium in Washington next
Saturday. afternoon. The Techs
will be, up against 3 worthy foe
in the Curly Byrd outfit and their
series Of games running over a
period Of five years have been
bitterly contested.
Last year the Gobblers defeated
Maryland, is to Z, in one of the
hardest fought and most spectacular
games Of the year. It was in this
game that the Techs kicking ace.
Don Rutherford, got over three drop
kicks, registering the majority of
the points for his team. Rutherford
Is going like a flOuse-a-fire this
year with his educated toe, and he
Is expected to cut some figure on
Saturday in the final summing up
Of things.
The Gobblers came out Of the
Auburn struggle without injury.
This is quite fortunate for the Cub
bagemen. as the Plainsmen pre-.
scented one of the huslxiest teams
that the Gobblers have tackled In
years. Don Rutherford failed on
three difficult kicks. Nine out Of
ten times the Bristol ace would
have made these kicks, as he seems
to kick from any angle. He will
get started no doubt against Mary.
land, as he did last year.
. Tomorrow win see the final
scrimmage practice before the team
leaves here for Washington. on
Friday. The Techs are coming
into their stride very gradually, and
by Saturday win be almost in mid
season form. Maryland has always
been one OF the Techs big near.

year will be Of more than usual
interest In that the two eleYens are

DARTMOUTH Is
FAV0RITE IN
YALE GAME
Eli's Coaches Decide to Build
SteadIer Line for
Conflict

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, oct. 15.--
Yale's failure to defeat Georgia,
Saturday, by better than a 4 to s
score, has made It certain that Dart.
mouth will come here next Satur-
day as favorite in one of the head
line matches Of the season for the
East.
The Yale coaches have decided
to try this week to build a steadier
rush line. They feel that the guard
and tackle positions were played
abominably against Georgia, and
say that only three members of the
line. Captain Lovejoy. at center, and
Luman and Bingham, at ends, are
sure Of their positions.
Another shift is expected today.
Yale has made only thirty-three
points In two games against Georgia
and North Carolina, but Dartmouth
had accumulated $50 in three games
against Norwich, Mccall and Yer.
mont universities.

was said that Haynes and Eugene

Wortheimer plans to sail for home

or 2 points better than Ter nearest competitor, France.
 A blazing sun flashed down on the courts as Richards and Hunter took up the task before them. They seemed tired and listless and apparently somewhat stale. There was lack of team work.
 Good Teamwork
 The French team on the other hand paired beautifully together. There was nothing flashy in their form, but they showed a deadly accuracy which gave them the first set GA, and brought loud cheers from the crowd.
 The American team dallied in the sec ond and third sets and had little diff ficulty in winning them.
 After starting well in the fourth set the play of the two Americans again collapsed. Brugnon and Cochet took advantage of and easily ran out, win ming five games in row and tieing one match count.
 Americans Rally
 But when the last set came on, it was different pair of AAmericans. They tossed caution to the winds, slash ing drives to the back court lines and keeping the two French stars on the run. Richards was serving during the last game of the crucial set and on the set point he shot over terrific service, which Cochet weakly netted. This gave America the championship and clean sweep of the series as the two teams of mixed doubles finalists were both American.
 Mrs. Wightman and R. Norris Will Hams had little difficulty in disposing of Mrs. Jessup and the badly worn Richards.
