GObbIers Expect Stiff OppOsi'
ton In Game At Washington

BLACKSBURG, Va, Oct. 15.-
Especial. THE Virginia Tech GObblers
are hard at it this week preparing
to give the University of Maryland a
warm reception at Clark Griffeth's
stadium in Washington on Saturday
next.
Coach Henry Redd brought his fresh
man squad over to the varsity field
this afternoon for another setto with
the big red team and the Cubbage men
went after the green team with a
vim, scoring four touchdOwns in 10
minutes play. The. Freshman team Of
this year is exceptionally heavy and
the varsity had a hard time getting
started, but after Cubbage threw his
machine in high there was no stopping
them. Dick EsleecE, who is expected
to shine against Maryland, ran wild
around the Freshman ends, while Cecil
de la Barre, the sturdy fullback, cut
the Freshman line into shreds. Don
Rutherford came in for a lot of drop
kicking during the second period and
got seven across all of them being
from very wide angles. Tomorrow's
scrimminge will be the last before the
team leaves for Washington and the
Tech mentor expects to gle his men
four fuA quarters of Is minutes each.

BAMA FRESHIES
T0PLAY MARION
Crimson Rats Expecting
Tough Battle With
Cadets Friday

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 15.-(Spe.
cial)-Alabama's Baby Crimson eleven
start their 1924 schedule here Friday
afternoon when they meet the Marion
Cadets at Denny field. Their second
game is scheduled with the Tulane
freshmen at New Orleans a week later.
Coach Bully" Van de GRAF has mad
his yearlings working hard at Denny
field annex for more than five weeks
and the rats" have recalled the point
where they engage in scrimmage against
the varsity and make things rather
interesting.
Several of the most prominent prep
school stars in the state last year are
wearing the freshman regalia and many
of them are living up to all the pre-
season dope blasted in the air by fond
admirers. IT'S true, however, that
many big men in high school were lost
in the shuttle when the diminishing
process started.
Fast BlackfieId
The 'Bama freshmen will boast of a
very fast set of backs in Quarterbacks
Hammer, Brown, Wesley, Holder, Pat
ton and Vines. Hammer was a star on
the Fayette high eleven last year and
Seeulb 10 nave StEuCh HIS clEluS carly
this year. Brown, brother to Mack
Brown of the Tidesmen, seems also on
edge. Holder has not been going so
good the past few weeks but is coming
cut stronger every day.
The line that starts against Marion
will include a coupe of heavyweights
and some very good but light ends.
Couch Van de GRAF has been working
hard the past few weeks trying to make
the linesmen charge fast and furiOusly
and the results of his work are begin
ming to be seen. In BOwdoin, Smith,
Vincent, Gillespie, Pepper, Merchon
and Fiddler, the yearlings have several
good men.
Little is known of Marion except that
they were beaten by Spring Hill college
by a bare touchdown and Spring Hill
held the Louisiana State Tigers to a
z to 6 score. The Crimson freshmen
defeated Marion last year and are ex-
pected to duplicate the performance
again this year. However, they realize
it will take a machine well oiled and
creased to do so.

To know a really good shaft one
has to be working among them for
years. A good clubmaker can tell right
away. Therefore would advise the
amateur to 60 to the pro or club
maker and explain to him that he wants
really good shaft. The best way to
try out the shaft is to take the club
by the grip and press the sole or toe
Of the club-head on the ground. Do it
smoothly till the shaft bends slightly
and it should spring back equally
smoothly to it's original position. Do
not take shaft with a very heavy
head, as it makes the shaft too
''whippy." 1t will wrap or bend quicly
nine times out of ten. Just feel" the
head on the shaft so that the shaft has
that spring feel about it. If the aver
age man would go to his pro and tell
him exactly what he wants he is al
most sure to get real service any time.

will be used as suicide squads against
the regular.
The Gobblers have quickened up their
offense very perceptably in the last
two days and the team is running much
smoother. There seems to be less
fumbling in the hackfield. This has
been one of the greatest faults this
season although the Auburn game in
Richmond last Saturday was the one
marked exception. All of the men
seem to be in perfect physical condition
and Cubbage will go. against Maryland
with all of his charges fit and with
ample reserve strength to throw in
should the occasion demand.

taking Of evidence was completed and the case was taken under dis cussion by the board. Commissioner Jackson told the board that when the case was first placed before the discipline committee, consisting of himself and Commissioner Edwin Parker, there seemed to be such a preponderance of evidence against Lee that he was Of the opinion that the policeman was drunk and was lying to the committee.
 He said that he was certain that the testimony Of the policemen in the case was absolutely truthful, that they found Lee in helpless condition and with an odor of liquor on his breath, naturally coming to the conclusion that he was drunk. However. Jackson said that the board had the testimony Of thor oughly reputable physician before 1t regarding the possibilities of the case and this created a doubt in his mind as 10 the first conclusions. Another point-that the commissioner mentioned was the fact that Lees wife put in two hurry calls for the doctor immediately after his arrival at the house. He said that this seemed to indicate that she did not consider the policeman drunk or she wouldn't have been so anxious about his condition, and Jackson said that he felt the wife of the man should | know whether he was drunk or not.
 Jackson said that in view of the evidence, he did not think that 1t had been established beyond a req sonable doubt that Lee was under the influence of liquor and he moved that the policeman be given the benefit of the doubt and the charge of intoxication be dismissed, He moved that Lee be found guilty of drinking while on duty and suspend ed for 25 days. Commissioner Park CT seconded the motion.
 Chairman Dunn made remarks on the evidence and expressed him. self as being opposed to the drop ping of either of the charges, but when Commissioner William F. Lange agreed with the opinions ex- pressed on the case by Commission CTS Jackson and Parker, a vote was taken and Jackson's motion carried.
 The commissioners said that they were very much discouraged by the action of Lee. They scored Lee for taking a drink of liquor from a man he said he never saw before. They considered it the most absurd and foolish act that a policeman could do as he could not tell what the intentions of the man were or whether the liquor was doped for some purpose.

o'clock on the morning of November .6, He said that on neither occasion did he smell liquor from the police man. Lee complained to him, how ever. that he was not feeling very well. ..
 The next time that Rouski saw Lee was when he went into the rear Of tho United building after being told that he was In there in a nauseated condition. Going In, Rouski said that Lee was leaning against the building In a helpless condition. He said that he could smell liquor from his breath. He tried to assist the patrol man but Lee said that he was too weak to go over to the station 80 Rousti left him and reported at headquarters.
 Illness Possible Cause
 Rouski said that in his opinion, Loe was under the influence Of liquor. Commissioner Thomas F. Jackson asked him If 1t was the fact that the policeman was helpless and had the smell of liquor on his breath that caused him to arrive at the conclusion that he was under the influence of liquor and Rouski said that 1t was. Commissioner Jackson then asked him If it was possible that Lees weakness was from illness and not from intoSi- cation and Rouski said that 1t was possible.
 Rouski was then asked If anybody had offered him any liquor during the morning of the 2sth, and he said that James r. Moore and James H. Walsh met him and offered him a drink of liquor. He said that the men told him they had just given some of the liquor to Lee.
 When Patrolman Lee arrived al his home in the service machine Rouski said that there was con- siderable improvement in his con- dition, and that although he as' sisted him into the house, he could have gone alone.
 No Odor Of Liquor at 4:30.
 Patrolman Daniel Cosgrove wa. the next to testify, and he said thai he had been talking to Lee at about 4:3O o'clock on that morning and had noticed no odor of liquor about him or anything in his condition tc indica1e that he had been drinking He said that Lee had not been feel ing well for over a week and had been off duty several nights before on account of the illness.
 The next time that Cosgrove saw Lee was in the alleyway and hit testimony on occurrences in the alley corroborated that of Rouski He also said that it was possible that Lees unsteadiness could have been caused by illness and mot bJ liquor as his breath seemed to in dicate. He said that he heard Lee make the remark: Its the damr
