GEORGETOWN'S FOE
NOT VERY HOPEFUL

Waynesburg College foot ball team
of Pennsylvania hardly expects to
make more than Il creditable show
ing against Georgetown at Clark
Griffith Stadium Saturday, word
from there states.
Ordinarily Waynesburg could not
be regarded as really Formidable OPP
position for the Blue and Gray, but
in its 1916 losing game with Geneva
last Saturday. George tBullet Drurv,
who has been the spearhead Of the
teams attack, was so badly injured
that it Is not believed he will he able
to start against Georgetown.
A number of other Waynesburg
players We're hurt more or less in
the Geneva game and indications are
that the visitors lineup that begins
here Saturday will contain number
of second -stringers.
Waynesburg also is somewhat dis
drubbing meted to West Virginia by
Georgetown. Waynesbur- is located
just 30 miles North OF Morgantown
and its followers cannot but feel
that IL West Virginia, rated in the
section much higher than their eleven,
is no match for the Blue end Gray,
the WayncSburg combination can
hope to do but little.
However. the squad that will he
here Saturday is going about its
practice determined Ia get itself in
shape for the BEST possible showing

LINE STILL WORRY
OF NAVY'S COACHES

ANNAPOLIS. October 25.-The pre-
season belief that the Naval Academy
foot ball team would be much strong
err in the backfield than in the line
this season has been fully sustained.
There are several fine running
hacks on the Navy squad and a num-
ber of versatile players. 1t IL prob
able that no team has set of backs
and ends SO well drilled in brilliant
and versa tile passing system as has
the Navy.
On the other hand, the line has not
shown itself very proficient I'm either
the defense or in opening holes for
the hacks, though it is improving.
The material is good and the players
of a fine spirit but lack of experience
is the weakness.
After experimenting on the line
and using nearly every candidate at
times, the coaches seem to be fairly
well settled as to the first pick for
four positions.
Sloane and Moret stand out for the
end positions, Burke for right guard
and Giese for. right tackle.
1t also appears as if Hardin has
shaken off the opposition of Hughes,
Wood and Haley for the center posi-.
ton. For left guard, Woerner seems
to be in the lead, and Wilson for the
other tackle
The starting backfield against Penn.
sylvania will be made up Of Capt.
Hannegan or Whelchel at quarter.
Lloyd and Bauer at the halves and
Clifton at fullback. This is a heavy
and powerful backfield, as well as a
fast and versatile one.

n VIEW YORK, October 25.-When
foot ball stylists depart from
NJ the methods that have Wrought
success and consequently fame,
they gamble heavily with fate.
1t is an open question how much
better Cornell would have done against
Princeton's green tackles had she not
attempted TO cross the Tiger by an
open.work offense.
In theory Gil Dobie's off.tackle
thrusts are unstopable. and so they
are practically when coordination Is
perfect and the ball carriers are or
the proper sort,
How 1t Is Worked.
Roughly described, the famous off
tackle drive as used by Dobie operates
as follows:
The No. I and No. 3 backs, who
have lined up in tandem behind the
haired offensive tackles. crack the
defensive end as he comes in. The
outlying wing back and the end take
the defending tackle. The guard on
the strong side leaves his position and
heads the interference off-tackle. The
haired offensive tackles take care OF
the defensive guard and the center,
The No. back. playing to the left
of the backfield formation, takes the
ball and follows the interfering guard.
IL cooperation of line and backfield
has not reached perfection or the ball
carriers are mediocre. the defending
center can get through, while pair
of expert rampaging defensive tackles
will play hob with the Dobie thrust.
Possibly Gloomy Gil felt he did not
have the team qualified to put over
his favorite attack. or it may have
been that he feared Princeton's heavy
line. and in any event he may have
thought an overhead. open attack
would better serve his purpose.
As it turned out his dope was not
poor and only wholly unusual line
thrusting drive by Princeton out
scored it.
Jess Hawley Is another stylist who
changed his methods last Saturday
At the same time, however, he re-
tanned the basic idea which involves
devious handling of the ball In the
backfield. Yale would do well to re
member In preparing for the Green
next Saturday that every Dartmouth
play under the lIawley administration
has its check play.
But the plays that IIawley employed
against Harvard last Saturday are not
likely to be used against the Ellis this
week. Check plays organically simi
lar in origin. but radically different in
development. will almost surely he
used. No team SO lily repays scout
ing as Dartmouth of the present
decade.
ROckne Stands Pat.
Knute Rockne another great stylist
is always willing to stand or fall upor
his pet method Of attack, which deiie:
defense with consistency sufficient tt
| enable him to win great ma joritS
| Of his games season after season
| Knute is fortunate. inasmuch as ma
terial of the sort he likes keeps flow
ing in to him year by year, and so hs
has no reason to change style oi
offense which has stood him in sucf
! good stead.

ngton Lee Battle Tops Card Of Three Engagements Saturday.
Eastern and Conzaga Elevens.
TO Renew Rivalry Tomorrow

A lively gridiron rivalry will be re-
newed tomorrow when Eastern High
entertains Gonzaga in the Eastern
Stadium. The game will start at ais
o'clock and will he preceded by a race
at mile or two miles among mem.
liers of Coach Gordon Rath's Eastern
track squad.
Both combinations have heen get
ting in some hard lckS for the game.
Eastern probably will present a line
up considerably changed from that
which suffered the 21-0 defeat at the
hands of Tech Friday. GOnzaga has a
team which. while not nearly so
strong as the crack combination
which sported the Purple last season
is sturdy and is showing constant i'm
provement. Starting the season with
the 1926 combination wrecked by
sraduations Coach Ken SimondinSer
has had real job to get together a
creditahle bunch.
At the start of the campa ign it ap
peared more than probable that Dewitt
would have an easy time defeating
GonZaga in their annual battle this
season. as the Georgetown schoolboyS
have a strong. seasoned eleven. De
witt is highly desirous of winning this
year to avenge its defeat by the Pur
| pie last Fall.
| However. it now is becoming in
crea@inGly apparent that Smonding
| or's boys are going to prove by M
means pushovers in the hig game De
| ccmbtr 3. and that if Dewitt triumph:
It will he only after real battle.
Business and Central were to face
this afternoon in Central Stadium IL
,he FIRST game for both elevens in the
public high school foot ball champion
ship series. Each was expected to
present just about it's strongest front
| in the game that was to start at 81;
o'clock. Central was generally ia
vored to win. though Business was

ing the line. when he has the material.
Bill Ropers methods involve a willing
ness to borrow anything from anybody,
and he has as much success as any
stylist.
Navy Has Nifty Play.
Speaking of attack, the Navy has
been pulling nifty play. The quar-
terback receives the ball, and spins
say, to the right. AS he spins he
surreptitiously takes the ball in his
right hand. holding it behind him to
the left, where the carrier receives it.
1t is a new variation of the Statue of
Liberty trick and has been working
out We'll.
Another innovation comes from Nir-
ginia When Catholic University V
went South to play William and Mary
at Williamsburg it was decided that a
bigger crowd would be drawn If the
game were played at night, so that
farmers from the region could drive
in for the contest.

other half pointing skyward Jack
McAuliffe. the Catholic coach. tells
the writer that no trouble at all was
experienced in playing the game. The
ball, which was not painted white
was visible at all times.
The great difference noted iii noe
turnal play, says McAuliffe, was the
fact that a 35-yard punt looked as
though it had gone so yards and a
20-yard forward pass seemed to he
travelling a mile. Dew, he adds, made
the turf quite slippery.
