NORTH WASHINGTON CHURCH LEAGUE
Team Standing.

North Washington Church Duckpin
League opened its season last Tues
day. Pastors or their representatives
from all of the associated churches
were on hand to roll the first ball.
National Baptist occupied the spot
light with high set of 1912. Mount
Pleasant, Wallace and Emory also
showed remarkable early season form.
Petworth Baptist and Petworth Meth
odist got off in front by virtue of
sweeping their sets with Central and
GuntonTemple. National Baptist
rolled high game, with 568; Fischer
of Wallace had high individual set
with 1865, and Brown of Petworth
Methodist high game of 1873. Twenty
seven men came through the first
night with averages of 100 or better
The league has expanded to include
10 teams, and all games are rolled on
Tuesday nights at the King Pin
alleys.

Suggestions already have arisen for
A. correction to do away with that sit
lation, among them plans for special
markings at the goal line.
The new rule covering the lateral
pass was not put to test. Only a
very few of the East's teams put the
play into operation. Rulings regard.
lng the timing of shifts and the huddle
lid not tend to run up penalties. The
huddle system of calling plays scarce
" was used, while the teams employ.
ing shifts had no especial difficulty.
First games afforded no basis for
determining whether the rules on time
lapses between the shift and the snap
ping of the ball and the time limit on
he huddle will have marked effect
IN the sport. Most Of the teams were
not far enough advanced to assume
involved play.

~ son for both and the first OF a
long list for the Old Liners. The
contest will be the first of major I'M

of the year. The Palmetto eleven is
due to reach here Friday morning, go
Immediately to College Park for a
workout, then rest until time for the
game to begin.
Burton Shipley, Maryland coach,
scounted South Carolina in its game
with Erskine College Saturday and

Shipley's opinion that South Carolina

beat MARYLAND last year by l. to o..

the small margin by which Erskine
was defeated.
South Carolina has a better team

The school from the Palmetto State
will throw against Maryland nine of
the IL players who We're regulars in

a year ago. will not he missed. is
hacked by that of McFadden, South
Carolina freshman coach. who secuted
Maryland Saturday. McFadden was
asked the direct question as to how
much Rogers and Boyd We're being
missed and he replied that he believed
the two men now filling the jobs just
as capable as the pair who were lost.
Unless injuries are encountered be-
tween now and Saturday two teams
will take the field pretty much as they
were when they met at Columbia and

n TEW YORK, September 2s.-Out
nj of the foot ball rules changes
VI which, in the main, failed to
i Y cause any deviation from the
general standard of play in
opening contests, one which had been
given little consideration by coaches
and officials seems to be causing some
confusion to players and spectators.
The chief reason for moving the
goal posts 10 yards beyond the goal
line was to emphasize goals after
touchdown and goals from the field.
While the objective may have been
attained. opening games only served
to confound players attempting to
gauge distance when receiving punts
and when carrying the ball near the
goal. Spectators, likewise, were I'M
certain regarding the distance to be
covered for touchdown.

Despite the fact that Fridays en-
counters are the first for local public
high teams, fans believe that they
will furnish considerable of a line as
to the relative strength of the local
outfits and their chances in the
championship series. If City. Poly
and Calvert Hall have the clever
elevens they usually boast, the Capt.
tai City boys will have to open up"
to win.
Gonzaga, Dewitt, Emerson and ST.
Johns also are expected to find the
going interesting in their opener. Fol-
lowers of schoolbOy foot ball will await
the results of the contests involving
these teams with not a little eager
ness. GonZaga has lost most of the
stalwarts who formed it's crack 1926
eleven, and just what Coach Ken
Simondinger will be able to do with
the purple contingent this year is I'M
certain. Dewitt is without a number
of clever old players, but has gained
some excellent material. Emerson is
returning to the grid world after a
lapse fired with a desire to make them
all sit up and take notice, and lube
Sullivan, ST. Johns mentor, is count
ing upon his proteges showing well.
st. Adams School opens Wednes-

tons eleven are expected to buckle
down to earnest preparation forth

expect a good season.
Out at Hyattsville High School.
where they play no foot ball, but turn
out bang-up soccer teams, Paul Smith,
new coach, is hustling an enthusiastic
squad through it's PAGES in an effort
to develop a winning combination in
the latter sport. Last Fall the Prince
Georges boys, with a clever expert
mental team, won the county title and
then went on to the final in the West
ern Shore series before being elimi.
mated from the State championship
tournament. This season finds many
of the becst 1926 players missing, and
is it exceedingly doubtful whether the
Hyattsville boys will do so well. 1t
is poppy, fighting bunch, though.
and may make a better showing than
expected.
Charlie Bailey, who is playing his
third season as a regular and is be-
ing used at center forward, has been
elected captain of the team. He also
is base ball, basket ball and track
star. Bailey is one of three regulars
left from last Falls team, the others
being Francis Money and Harry
Dobbs.
