Georgetown University's foot
ball warriors today set about
scheming to overcome a gridiron
star who conceals his real fight
ing self behind a harmless ap-
pearing exterior.
Albert Glenn. halfback of the
formidable West Virginia eleven
that Georgetown will face Satur-
day at Griffith Stadium in its
homecoming game and the out
standing event on Washington's
sport calendar this fall, occupies
the HilItoppers' thoughts more
than any other Mountaineer. West
Virginia hopes to win the Eastern
title. Glenn is an All-Amerlca
prospect.
They call him SLEEPY" Glenn,
and the nickname paradoxically is
befitting.
To look at Sleepy Glenn off the
gridiron or in a moment of in
activity it is to wonder how so

yearly excellence of its football
teams.
To watch Sleepy Glenn after the
ball is snapped is to marvel that
so slumberous a person could pack
80 much zip and go.
We learn these facts about Half
hack Glenn, from Herb Kopf. of the
Georgetown coaching staff. whose
duty it was to scout\ West Virginia.

Glenn is a slightly rangy chap,

mug that, according to Kopf, is
transformed from placidity to keen
alertness with the swapping of the

FINALS
REACHED
By Gerry" Martin

By virtue of their victories IN
the semi-finals, Title Raine and
Ruth Curran reached the final
bracket in the Capitol Athletic Club
tennis tourney.
These girls met yesterday and
when the score was 81. 81, in
favor of Miss Curran. the match
had to be called on account Of
darkness. The second set will have
to be played over and these girls
will probably clash again sometime
this week.
Tfllie and Ruth represent two
widely separated types Of athletics
in the Capitol Athletic Club. Ruth
is primarily a racquet wielder while
Tillie is a swimmer. Miss Ralne
plays a nice game OF tennis, but
Miss Curran has the edge on her
in every department of the game.
Ruth has had little or no oppo-
sition in any of her matches in
the tourney 50 far, and should
annex the title without further de-
lay.
Out of S0-odd active members of
the Capitol A. C. rs girls entered
the tourney. The consolation tour
ney is coming along in fine shape.
Frances Major looked best to the
dopesters the last time they gave
them the once-over. Frances, by
rights, should have advanced to
the third round at least, but was
knocked off in the first round, dae
