 It was through him that Nigni's generous allowance had been paid while David was abroad, through him that the estates had been ad- ministcred during their owners ab- scncc.

GREEN NAMES DooLEY
NEXT FOOTBALL SKIPPER

HANOVER, N. H., Nov. 26.-
Edwin B. Dooley, '26, star quarter
back on Dartmouth's undefeated
football team, was elected captain
for next season at meeting of the
seventeen letter men. Dooley sue
ceeds Henry B. Bjorkman, twenty.
five, the fourth man in the history
Of the college to be captain Of both
the football and baseball teams.
Dooley lives in Brooklyn, where he
prepared for college at st. Johns.
In his freshman year at Dart
mouth he was captain Of the has.
ketball team. Last year he was the
only three-letter man in college, al
though only sophomore. He
played quarterback throughout the
season; was considered one of the
best forwards in the Intercollegiate
Basketball League, and won his
track letter by throwing the javelin.
This year he saved the Harvard
game for Dartmouth by three great
tackles and was the big factor in
the passing attack which beat Cor
nell. He did the punting for the
team and was also an able ball car
rier. Besides his versatility in ath.
letics, Dooley is considered a bril-.
liant student. He recently had pub.
lished volume Of poems and was
the author of philosophical
treatise on 1.-THE Significance of
Moral Values" which attracts favor.

VIRGINIA LEANS
HEAVILY ON
BACKS

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov.
26.-Captain Sam Maphis, Carter
Daffey, Buck Cuddy, Charlie Frost,
and Ted Laird are the five back
field men on whose abilities the
Virginia eleven will rely in the
annual game with North Carolina
to be played tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 o'clock on Lambeth Field.
These five men Of varied talents
have been shifted all season by
Coach Earle Neale. who has built
up the varsity attack upon the
strength of their combined re-
sources.
Paul Walp, for two seasons varsi-
ty star, was numbered among this
group until the time of the v. M. /.
game when a bad dislocation put
him off the squad for the remain
der of the season. It was hoped
that he would be ready to face
Carolina, but it is not expected that
he will be used during the game.
Captain Maphis, who is playing
his last season with Virginia, is a
left-handed triple threat whose
ability to pass, run and to punt has
made him one of the best backs in
the South. In backing up the line
he is one of the most powerful men
Virginia has had in years.
AS field general Diffey made a
name for himself year ago and he
has been an outstanding player in
every Virginia contest this season.
Not only is he the best ground
gamer on the squad, but he is also
an accurate passer and a good drop
kicker.
Cuddy, Frost, and Laird are all
playing their first season on the
varsity squad and they are being
alternated in the backfield positions
not filled by Diffey and Maphis.
Cuddy and Frost were both stars
on the first-year track team last
spring and their speed has been
valuable behind the line this fall
for they have added swiftness and
power to the Virginia attack when
it was needed. Both these young
sters can pass as well as carry the
ball.
Laird is better as a plunginR
back than on the sweeping plays
and his gains are chiefly through
the line. He is also a powerful de-
fensive. man and his toe has added
several points after touchdowns by
well-aimed dropkicks.

That Turkey Day Game.

"OMORROW comes the Catho-
lie University-George Wash
ington football game at the
new Brookland Stadium, dedicated
by the Quantico Marines, who de-
feated Tom Gormley's charges, 33
to 0. This should easily be the
big attraction of the day for grid.
iron followers in this section. The
new stadium can accommodate
10000 spectators, so it is said.
Thirty thousand will not be there.
It takes time to educate football
fans. They have to be shown, and
they have to feel like taking sides.
But, if C. U. and George Wash
ington will only continue these
annual battles, they will have a
chance of bringing out that 10000
spectators
C. U. is said to be favored to
win tomorrow's game. How this
is reasoned seems strange to the
writer Looking at the records.
George Washington should carry
the odds. Coach Crum has done
what his predecessors were I'M
able to do--turn out a fighting
football team. The Tongmen, as
Skillet Finn calls the Hatchetites,
should win tomorrow on the dope.
Only the dope doesn't always run
true. 1t is possible for Tom
Gormley's gang to put up such a
battle as they did against Mary
land. In that case, C. U may win
tomorroW's big game.

Moore, of Pittsburgh, who played
utility roles last year, ranks Sec
ond to Combs, with a mark of
1861, closely followed by his team
mate, Hazen Cuyler, who hit for
1854
Ike Boone, the heavy-footed out
fielder with the Boston Red Sox,
comes next, with the fine average
of 1886, while Herschel Bennett, of
the st. Louis Browns, is fifth,
with a batting average of 1888.
Bennett, like Combs, had tough
luck. He crashed into fence
chasing q fly ball, and broke his
arm, but was back in uniform be-
fore the season came to a close.
Then, IN sixth place, comes our
own Earl McNeely, who joined the
world champions early in August
and finished the season with them.
He was the lad who made the hit
clinching the championship of the
world
McNeely will probably face de-
cided opposition next spring at
Tampa, but he is of the type that
should welcome that. There is
nothing backward about this young
Californian. One peek at the ag-
gressive jaw tells the story. Earl
McNeely will report at Tampa in
a mood to resume his regular
berth in the outfield, and it will
require stiff opposition to put him
on the bench.
Much is being said about Roy
Carlyle, who comes up to Wash
ington from Memphis, in the
Southern League. Carlyle is APP
parentiy a hard hitter, but his
record does not show him to have
much speed, and speed is a vital
necessity in the big show. Nc
Nicely has speed. He has all
kinds of speed. He has speed in
the field, speed on the bases and
speed around the plate. 1t will
take considerable opposition to
put him on the bench.
Bucky Harris. handled McNeely
in fine style last season. When
the young star failed to gauge
the, sunfield in New York, he was
shifted over to right field, Rice
moving into the middle garden.
Harris wanted to use McNeely's
speed in other departments, and
succeeded.
McNeely never played the sun
field until he Joined the Washing
ton club. Next year he will have
plenty of practice during the
spring, the Tampa centerfield be-
ing a hard one for experienced
players. He should acquire the
art of playing balls across the
sun before the season is ad-
vanced. Then he will come close
to equaling Zeb Milan's record
with the Washington club. He
has it in him.
