EGYPTIAN ATHLETE FOR
PENN STATE SOCCERITES

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. 22.-
The best athlete" in Cairo, Egypt,
has just enrolled as freshman at
the Pennsylvania State College. He
is Musa Ismael Sirry, former stu
dert at the American University of
Cairo, who for two years was cap
tain of the Cairo rugby team, which
corresponds to our American soccer.
When Cairo officials forwarded
Sirry's application for matriculation
at Penn State they stated that he
was the best athlete in Cairo. Since
his arrival on the campus. Coach
r. G. Leonard, of the Penn State
soccer team. has been on his trail
with the hope Of having him join
the freshman soccer squad.
Foreign students have previously
made good in athletics at Penn
State. Several years ago Katsutoshi
Naito, a Japanese. was captain of
the Nittany wrestling team and
held the intercollegiate 135-pound
championship. This year Ramon
Gil, a Porto Rican student, is the
Penn State soccer leader.

Captain SuppIee Has Injured

Him out of Game

A bungled nose may hurt Mary
lands chances of winning the an
nual conflict on the gridiron with
the University Of Virginia at Char
louisville Saturday. Captain lube
Supplee, Maryland's rangy end, and
a snagger of passes, was unthinking
enough to stick his smeller in
someone's way, and the result was
a very badly bruised member.
Other than that Maryland viii
be in the best Of shape. In the
game last week with Virginia Poly
the Maryland backs were consider
ably handicapped by the slippery
footing. They expect to do better
on a dry field at Charlottesville.
Captain Carter Diffey may also
be missing from the battle. ViF.
gfnia's doughty leader has injuries
that may keep him on the side
lines. The teams are evenly match
ed. A special train over the South

Georgetown Coach Hopes to
Strengthen Weakest Play
of Hilltop Team

In expectation Of a close score
when the highly-touted Br Inell

up with Georgetown, Head Coach
Little is devoting much attention
this week to the usually neglected
phase Of kicking goals after touch
down. The CHASTITY record of his
charges in that respect this year
demands that drill he had In this
department lest some opponent get
away with a game by a one or two
point margin.
In four games this year. George
town has scored only four points
after touchdowns, although the
foes goal line has been crossed
nineteen times. While a forward
pass or running play from the
5-yard mark is available, still the
favorite method appears to be the
drop or placement kick. Hagerty
has been practicing all week boot
ing placements, and at last seems
to have attained some degree of
accuracy. His skill may be badly
needed Saturday as there is every
indication that the game will be

Assistant Coach Bill Kenyon, who

brings back the report to Washing

escaped defeat this season, it has
also prevented any opponent, even
the far-famed Haskell Indians, from

Lou Little has not disclosed his
starting lineup for the game, but
in all probability it will be McGrath

guards; Grigsby, center; Gormley,
quarterback: Captain Hagerty and

with the greatest precision in the
Detroit game, and it probably will
remain intact for Saturday. How
ever, it is certain that Metzger and
Thompson will play part of the
game at halfback and Connaugh-

The Hilltoppers, while far from

HUDKINS WINS
BOUT WITH
CHAMPION
Nebraska Lightweight Slams
Mike Ballerino All Around
Ring

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-Ace
Hudkins, Nebraska lightweight, was
listening today to the singing
praises from all sides, following his
ten-round victory here last night
over Mike BalIerino, worlds 130-
pound champion.
Hudkins pasted the New Jersey
champion fearfully and took every
round of the encounter except the
third, which was even. Ballerino's
title was not at stake. The cham
pion weighed 100 and Hudlins 1856.
The Nebraskan fought an almost
perfect fight and boxed better than
he has in any of his sensational
California bouts. Hudkins had the
champion on the floor twice, using
a right cross in the seventh and
tenth rounds to floor Ballerino for
long counts.
So outclassed was the easterner
that his showing was voted as
miserable, although the fans gave
him a hand for his gameness III
absorbing plenty Of punishment in
every round.
The Nebraska star had BallerinO
out on his feet most of the ninth
and tenth rounds after hectic ses-
sions in the seventh and eighth
cantos. Hudkins was never serious
ly bothered by Ballerino's punches
and after the sixth could have
coasted into a win.
The bout was one Of the fastest
on record in Los Angeles with both
boys swinging volley OF gloves
every round.
Hudkins was given an ovation
by 10000 fans as he left the ring.
The Nebraskan has been ten

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 22-
Il seems to have become some
thing of an annual custom for
Bill Roper to attempt to make a
dinner jacket out of a button
hole in his year-to-year dealings
with the Princeton football squad.
The thing, of course, is absurdly
simple. Princeton gives Mr..
Roper the button hole. Mr.. Roper
gives Princeton the dinner jacket,

whether he does it or not.

lacks material.
