Ii George A. Meeks, OF the In
surance Division team of the Vet
Grams Bureau League, could shoot
as well in league competition as in
individual matches, he'd clean up
honors and large portion Of the
leagues cash.
Meeks, working out at the Recrea-
ton, shot successive games of 1873,
140 and 1873 for total of 416, which
score would stand out in any league.
Yes, 1t would be cOnspicu-
GUS even in the District and Ma
tlOnaI Capital Leagues i'm which the
clty's star bOwlers are gathered.
And these stars. by the way, are
unusually bright this season.
For instance, the Belmonts have
Just hung up their second team set
OF better than 100, knocking down
1,739 naples to whitewash the
Regulars, whose team is one Of the
National Capital Leagues strongest.
Young George Friend, shooting
his second set of the season with
the Belmonts, was she star, with a
set Of 387.
Those who thought Weideman,s
ll9 average with the BeImonths was
flash soon to die out are being
fooled. The Belmont star has rolled
eighteen games at that speeo and
eighteen strings constitute a fair
test OF bowling ability. The city's
duckpinners are watching Weide-
man with keen interest, wondering
how long he can hold I'D his phe.
nomenal average.
An average of 119 through a
season is unheArd Of and nobody
expects Weidenan 60 maintain
his, but on what he has shown
so far, he should be considered
leading contender for the city's
high average title this season.
Weideman is favored, in a meas.
ure, by shooting all his games on
the same alleys, at the King.Pin
No. /, where the National Capital
League has it's home.
Other sensational averages in the
National Capital League are due to
an extent to the same advantage
An unusual number are around the
lis mark.
Last season Earl McPhilOmy,
then with the PetwOrths i'm the
District League, caused a Sensa-
ton by maintaining an average Of
l16 over long stretch, and shoot
ing ON various alleys. But Nc
PhiIOmy finally tanned down and
finished with IFS, which only
equaIled previous achievements.
Several bowlers own the distinc.
| ton of having averaged 115 through
a season and undoubtedly some
have dreamed of one day beating
this record.
This is a season with all things
favorable for such effort. Never
before have Washington bowling
alleys been of such uniformity and
in so fine condition
1t has been predicted that the in.
| stallation Of many new alleys will
have the effect of producing not
one, but perhaps eight or Ten lis
averages this season.
The most interesting question is,
will anybody do better than 1I5.
WeideTnan and several others are
off to encouraging starts.

Game Is Standardized.

A S American football grew it
~ was found necessary to
standardize scoring values.
Until 1883 goals were goals and
touchdowns were touchdowns, but
a dispute following Princeton
Harvard game brought about the
present numerical system of scor.
ing.
In the late SOS college football
was haphazard sort Of a game.
1t lacked the control found today.
For instance, graduates were
called back to play in certain so
called championship games and
the play was rougher than any
seen in these days.
In the eos football was an es-
tablished college sport. The carry.
ing game was uppermost, with
mass formations calling for big
men able to stand truly terrific
punishment. One reason why
Frank Hinkey is generally called
the greatest football player of his
time was that he, weighing as lit
Gle as 1876 pounds, played end for
Yale for four years without ever
being injured or taken out of a
game. On the other hand he was
charged with breaking Edgar
Wrightington's collarbone in 1894
by jumping on the Harvard cap
tain. while the latter was lying on
the ground.
In 1887, at Jarvis Field, Cam
bridge, Princeton played one of the
toughest football games on record.
Players were carried off the field
with broken chest bones, noses and
arms. Smuggling marked the en-
tire course of the contest and Bob
Church, of Princeton, was so
banged and battered that, unable
to stand UP, he crawled into the
lineup on his hands and knees. So
much bitterness was caused by
that game that two years later re-
lations were severed.
Princeton and Harvard got to-
gether again only to break once
more in 1894 and the late Percy
ID. Haughton was instrumental in
bringing these two universities to-

Much of the real value of col
lege football comes from its
ancient relationships. Therefore,
to learn that Pennsylvania will
not meet Lafayette next year
comes with slight pang to one
not connected with either and with
greater wrench to one a gradu-
ate of either Pennsylvania or
Lafayette.
Football in Washington, for in
stance, has never quite been the
same since the Georgetown
Virginia series was rudely inter
rupted. That game today would
pack the Clark Griffith Stadium,
home field of the Hilltoppers. No
other opponent of the Blue and
Gray would do so.
Last Thursday was the birthday
of American college football. Rut-
gers, today one of the most pow
erful elevens in the country, and
Princeton, today's opponent of the
! big Harvard team at Cambridge,
played the first game ever staged
in this country on November 6,
1869. That was sort of asso-
citation football as played in Eng
land. Indeed, for number of
years that game was played on
this side of the water.
AS Americans played it more
and more, though, football emerged
from a plain kicking contest to a
carrying game. It remained a
carrying game, with kicking as
merely incidental, until 1910 when
the passing game became a fix
ture. Today football combines
kicking, carrying and passing and
even old-timers, men who played
through those sturdy COS wher
giants were seen on the gridiron.
