What Jones has done this year is
to put the Army in the forefront of
foot ball, so much so that he un-
doubtedly has one of the two or three
strongest eleYens in the country. His
decisive defeat of Syracuse and the
overwhelming victory over Yale last
week. the first time Army has won
from Yale in something like Is years.

Central High Product.
"Biff" Jones. as he is we'll known
10 his legion of friends in and around
Washington. got his first foot ball
experience a Central High School.
He was guard at Central and picked
as all-high guard. He left Central
and went to West Point, where he
was guard and tackle on the Army
teams Of 1914, 1915 and 1916. And.
another coincidence, Ingram was
PLAYING at the Naval Academy the
last year Jones was a member of
the Army team.
Jones coaching career began at
West Point and probably will end at
West Point. He was line coach under
Charley DAILY in 1919 and 1920 and line
coach under McEwan in 1928, 1924
and 1925.
Jones is not by profession a foot
bail coach, though right now he
stands among the best coaches any.

Georgetown is not backward in
sa wing that it has an even chance to
beat Syracuse Saturday at Syracuse.
So far this Fall the New Workers

but. even so. should not be underrated
as a foot ball team. Syracuse al
WAYS has powerful outfit, especially
from the standpoint of the individual
players. Few schools have better ma |
terial than Syracuse. and Georgetown |
players would do well not to think |
they Will be against an aggregation |
of crippes simply because Syracuse
has had some rough shedding.
But even with Syracuse at it's best,
Coach Little thinks his team has a
good chance. Georgetown has had |
two weeks since it's game with West |
Virginia to get it's squad up to it's |
highest pitch and will go to SYRIA |
cuse in excellent physical and mental |
condition. A Georgetown victory |
need not be at all surprising.
Maryland makes its annual trip to |
Yale. and probably will meet the |
toughest Yale team it has faced in |
some years. If Yale had beaten |
Army last week by 33 to Maryland |
wnuld not have near 50 difficult a |
game, paradoXical as that may SEEM |
y team of the caliber of Yale. out to !
aVeHGe its misfOrtunes on somebody, |
is not an easy eleven to face.
Gallaudpt plays American Univer-
sity and should have little difficulty |
winning. The Kendall Green eleven |
is heavier and better than American |
University and is made up of more |
experienced players.
George Washington is planning
hic afternoon this week in connection !
with as foot ban game with UrsinuS. |
The contest will be played al Amer

receipts are to go to the Walter Camp |

are being held among the students, |
and prominent men have been help |

Catholic University also has an easy
game this week. Blue Ridge College
being scheduled 10 appear here. The |
Brooklanders ought to win without |
even half trying.
