LEAH SHOFNOS

IRING in the first match of the
season, the girls rifle club of
Western High School will COM
L pete against the fair sharp
shooters of Waterbury, Conn.
High, on Thursday. December 16. in
a telesraphic encounter arranged
through the National Rifle Associa-
ton by c. B. Lister, secretary.
Lister plans to build up interscho-
lastic competition among the high
school squads throughout the country
by arranging as many telegraphic en-
counters as possible. 1t is excellent
practice for the Junior marksWomen
and fits them to step into positions
on university squads.
The tern.Waterbury match will
be fired entirely in prone position.
Ten girls will be allowed to each team,
with the five high scores counting.
The targets will be rated at n. r. a.
headquarters and results announced
through that organization.
Competition Is keen at the Hilltop
school for the 10 places on the firing
line. The 10 will not be picked until
after the final practice on December
Ia, according to Mrs. Bertha foder
Werthner, faculty adviser. Many OF
the new members of the club are
making impressive scores and promise
to be rated among the best shots IN
the school.
A most unique offer has come to
the Metropolitan Athletic Club, and
one which has set all the members
to work at perfecting their favorlte
sport with renewed zest this Fan.
The proposition comes from sunny

resides in Spain and has invited the
club to send representatives from
each sport group to his country next
September to give demonstrations OF
the popular American pastimes for
women in order to arouse enthusiasm
among the senoritas in things athletic.
AT a meeting of the club 1t was
decided to consider the invitation
favorab bly, If the groups can work up
an adequate program. Expenses prob
ably will be guaranteed, 1t was
stated. but the program to be given
will be entirely of an exhibition
nature. The only competitive pos
sibility is a basket ball game which
may be arranged with some Spanish
team. Gymnasium, track swimming,
and tennis exhibitions all will be
given by Metropolitan athletes who
are chosen to make the trip.
In addition to discussing the pro.
posed trip. plans were made for
Christmas party to be given the week
of December q, and II new members
were installed.
The swimming chairman announced
that beginning tomorrow night the
club would SWIM every Monday night
at $40 in the Y. w. c. A. tank in
stead Of on Wednesday night as they
have been doing in the past.
Mrs. Reid, who is captain Of Girl
Scout Troop 30, announced that she
would give a course in scouting to

tnOuGn, and ready 10 go into a game
Marines have game scheduled with
Providence College at Providence Sat
urday and they will go against much
tougher proposition than anybody or.
dinarily might expect. hearing little
around here Of that institution. Ma.
rines are scheduled to be away for
several days, playing two games the
following week.
Maryland Is to meet Gallaudet Sat
urday. The game has been scheduled
for the morning at 10 o'clock. In the
afternoon the Maryland team is to be
taken to Baltimore to watch the Mich
tgan-Navy game. It Is not often that
a foot ball team gets an opportunity
to watch two other elevens play and
the opportunity Saturday is being well
coined by the Marylanders.
Tubby HerzOg, Maryland guard,
probably is one Of the unluckiest foot
ball players that ever stood on a
gridiron. Three years ago he hurt his
shoulder SO badly before he got into
81 game that he was out for the sea-
son. Last year just as he had made
the team as a regular he broke his
ankle in IL scrimmage with George
Washington. This year he was told
frankly that he probably was some
what better foot ball player than the
guard who was being used in his place,
but that guard had two more years to
play and 1t was the purpose to use
that guard practically all the time,
Notwithstanding he was not quite so
capable. It was just question of
Herzog sacrificing his personal desire
to play as a regular in order to build
up good eleven for next year. Her
zog being due to graduate in June.
Ierzog showed a fine spirit and ac-
cepted the situation without a pro-
test. Last Saturday against North
Carolina he was sent into the con-
test just five minutes before the end
of the first half and in that Ave min
utes sustained the injury to his foot
that may keep him out Of the game
for the remainder OF the season.
Herzog has not played a good deal of
foot ball. but he has learned lessons

valuable to him in the future, and
proved himself in many ways the
kind of fellow who Is really worth
while in the world.
With the exception Of the Army
Navy game in Baltimore two years
ago, no foot ball game that has been
played in the South ever attracted so
much attention and caused such in
terest as has been aroused by the
Michigan-Navy game this week. A
great crowd Is sure to attend the con-
test, much greater than has watched
the Princeton Navy contests.
Navy gees into the game in a
much happier frame Of mind than II
entered the Michigan game a year
ago. Not only has it won all its con-
tests, but 1t has demonstrated that 1t
Is a better Navy team than has rep
resented the academy in years. Not
only that, but the Navy Is big and
strong and versatile and has every
thing that goes to make up q formi-
dable combination. Navy is not f1gur-
ing on winning, but says it should
hold Michigan to two touchdowns.
Michigan comes East with one Of
the strongest elevens in the Middle
West, if not the strongest. It is
versatile and since its defeat Of Illi-
nois last week seems a probable
Western Conference champion. Yost
always has had good teams, and for
the last three years has turned out
some Of the most brilliant elevens in
his long career as q coach.
So far as the writer knows, for the
first time in the history Of foot ball
a game between two universities is to
be played on Sunday. The Catholic
UniversityLoyola game at New Or
leans this week, according to a dis.
patch from New Orleans, is to be
played Sunday instead OF Saturday.
George Washington faces another
real struggle this week when It goes
to State College, Pa, TO meet Penn
State. The BeZdek eleven has not been
going along very strong SO far. but
still 1t is much stronger than the aver.

Most kicks are blocked by opponents
breaking through center This in
terlocked center grip should keep the
blocker out.
The center on offense knows first
when the ball is snapped and where
the play is, therefore he should al
ways get the jump on his opponent.
He should put his man out the man
backing up center), and continue
through if possible to help out further.
The center should not be tall and
r0ngy, nor fat and short, rather, in
between He should he fast and ag-
gressive. Every team should have
two centers, for it is n hard position
to I'LL and an injury to center would
mean a severe handicap if q suitable
substitute were not on hand.
The center must be adept at pass
ing. He passes back short. or places
the ball in the quarterback hands.
but on direct passes to the kicker, or
to one of the backs on kick formation,
he may pass spiral. This is done by
holding the ball in the palm of one
hand with the other hand over the
top and then giving the ball a quick
underhand snap. The lower hand
furnishes the power and the upper
hand guides 1t.
