North Carolina University is 60

gotten two setbacks this fall that
were not looked for and it seems to

ed into shape for the game. Cap
tain Supplee and his nose are again
good friends, and Fred Kinkous,
hefty fuliback, is in splendid shape.
Kirk Besley, last years clever little
quarterback, is probably not to start
the game and it is doubtful IL he
will play at all.
Maryland may try some drop
kicking against North Carolina.
Virginia Poly defeated the College
Park team with a boot, and there
have been occasions when a drop
kicker could have rung up some
points.

winning streak of the Blue and

Georgetown booked King for

defeated, but only after putting up
a plucky argument. They have

Eastern Backs
Candidates
for Great
HOnOrS
By DAVIS ]. WALSH
international News Service

For the first time in several
seasons, the East may have q few
plausible backfield candidates to
offer when the All-American
plums are distributed. This sec
ton, which gave Jim Thorpe,
Eddie MahaH, Briclley, Charley
Barrett and other .immortals to
the game, hasn't produced real
All-American backfield star since
Glenn Killinger graduated from
Penn State three or four years
ago. Koppisch, of Columbia, got
the Camp vote last year, but was
far from a foolproof halfback.
The backs Of national note have
come from the Middle West, fea-
turing Grange and the Four Horse
men Of Notre Dame; the South,
where Wyckoff, of Georgia Tech,
has held forth for three seasons,
and from California and Stanford.
Now. however, the Eastern ball
runner seems to be coming back.
Pennsylvania uncovered a fine pair
in the Yale game, Kreuz and Rogs
ere. Yale also has couple Of cam
didates, while Wilson, Hewitt and
Buell., of the Army, are sectional
leaders, even at this immature mo-
ment. Wilson was a co-star with
Killinger at Penn State and should
know what it is all about by this
time.
ShapIey. of thu Navy, Is above
the average. SO is Keefer, OF
Brown, not TO mention Ober-
lander, Of Dartmouth, and Pease.
Of Columbia. Many thought Pease
was more deserving than Kop-
pfsch of recognition last year.
Gustafson, Of Pittsburgh, can also
join the line for uing on the left.
CarIin, Of w. and J.. and Foley, of
Syracuse, are vevy likely entries.
This brings the issue down to a
about for years, receiving general
escaping official notice, or being ig-
uored by same. The writer refers
to Tryon, of Colgate. II ever he is
to come into his own, Tryon must
do 1t this season, since it is to be
his last. Gebhardt, Of Lafayette,
also is about due.

However, the day is early and
the field large. Anything may
happen in November. Things
usually do.
There is little Likelihood that
the East will produce another
Thorpe or Mahan for another gem
Grafton, not to mention the season
of 1926. But, with the present
caliber of material on hand, it has
better than an even chance or

SCORING
At BOWLS LIKE
HOMER CRAZE
BY r. ID. THOMAS


Something akin to the home-run
epidemic In baseball has taken hold
in the game Of bowls, locally.
A 1,7OO.team set, once a sensation,
attracts a fleeing glance in the
daily records.
Only passing notice is given a
team game Of 600, a score that
once caused duckpin observers to
gasp.
To make his name stand out, and
that for only a day, bowler must
shoot game better than ITO or
break into the 400 set class.
Four years ago, 1T is recalled,
duckpin dopesters discussed the
possibility of an 1900 team Sc.
Before another season was finished
several such scores were in the
book and more have been recorded
since.
When Ray Chaplin six or seven
years ago carved the triangle for
a set OF 434 it was said he had
achieved the near impossible. But
along came Lee Brown and topped
Chapin's mark by one pin in &
Masonic League tournament.
And now both of these really
remarkable scores have been mini
mixed by another. Within the last
week Harry Dixon, Of the Eco
Monies team Of the Agricultural
League, turned out a set of 445
at the Coliseum.
Chaplin and Brown were experts
when they won fame. Dixon was
regarded as an ordinary performer,
and this fact is significant in COM
pairing the home-run boom and the
heavy scoring at bowls.
Ball players that rarely hit hon.
ers before the birth of the lively
ball and bleacher-shortened fields
smacked them right merrily after
ward.
And hundreds Of bowlers are
shooting scores today that are big
m p ar e d with old standards.
Where the big score shooters could
be named individually before they
are now counted in flocks.
The reason for this change is
easily found. It resides in the fact
that Washington in the last sew
eral years has come to be the best
equipped town in a bowling way
in the country. This Is an obser.
walton made by travelling men who
bowl.
No longer do Washington pin
shooters play their game on rut-
ted, dirty, untrue alleys. Nor do
they shoot at lop-sided, broken pins
with egg-shaped balls.
Competition In the bowling bust
ness has made for frs -class equip
ment, and proper equipment has
given the bowler a better reward
for his skill.
Moreover, the splendid conditions
In general that prevail In Wash
ington bowling establishments have
raised the social level of the game
and attracted more players.

On Short End Today for An

In the game against Technical.
Techs husky warriors simply toyed
with foe that usually tested the

game with the odds slightly in it's

RESERVOIR
BATHING
LOOMS
Georgetown Bowl Is Being In

Substitute

With plans for reopening the
Tidal Basin bathing beach effec-
tually checked by the opposition
of Congressman Martin B. Mad
den, chairman Of the House APP
preparations Committee, the office
Of pubic buildings and public
parks today is speeding up its
survey Of the abandoned George
town reservoir as substitute
beach.
Effort is being made, without
resorting to excavation, to deter
mine the condition of the water
supply and drainage pipes. The
reservoir was constructed before
the civil war and the only re-
liable plan showing the old piping
is dated 1853 and is signed by
Montgomery Meigs, then District
army engineer.
Most Unique Structure.
The reservoir. 1t Is stated, would
make one of the most unique bath
ing beaches in the nation. It is
in shape and is partially
rooted over, leaving central open
ing in the dome-shaped top. 1t is
said to be remarkably cool inside,
as the bottom of the bowl is many
feet below ground level.
Engineers who have inspected It
report that it is one Of the most
echoing chambers in
the country. One loud shout pro-
duces fourteen distinct echoes.
Filled to depth of five feet, the
pool would be more than 200 feet
across and would have sloping
beach the greater part of the way
around.
A final appeal for reopening Of
the Tidal Basin beach still rests
with President Coolidge. This ap-
peal is expected TO have little effect,
as Lieutenant Colonel C.

ings and parks is unwilling to an
tagonize Congressman Madden and
so jeopardize establishment of
adequate bathing beaches next sum-
mer.
