for years have been powerful and versa
tile teams. The season opens this weei
with Lynchburg College. an easy-enougf
game, but after that come succession
OF difficult struggles.

Not only does Washington and Lee

big section of the eastern part of the
United States in so doing. Games in
New Jersey, West Virginia, Washington,

slN, it might be mentioned here that
the game with Maryland is to be an
annual affair in this city, probably TO
be played each year on the Saturday
before Thanksgiving
Has Ten Letter Men.
Washington and Lee lost several good
men from last years team, but still
has 10 letter men back in the work
outs now. and all 10 likely will be in
the opening lineup Saturday. Fisher,
Tips, Latham and SPOTS were tlne line
men and are sure to be missed. SPOTS
weighed around 185 pounds and was
one of the best ends in the South,
Fisher was a 200-pound tackle who
had few superiors and Tips, 195-pound
guard. really was good. Latham nao
been at center for three years and any
time man is lost from that Joo ne Is
difficult to replace. The backs VINO
Graduated were Howe, Stearns and Bar
clay.
However, the Generals still have socie
excellent material. Fitzpatrick, all
Virginia tackle. is expected to be one
of the most brilliant players In the
South in his position, while Hawkins,
who had some experience at tackle last
Fall and is something Of a giant IN
stature, is looked upon as a certainty
for the other tackle job. Groop ana
Seligman are better than the average
at guards, while .Snodgrass at cenIef
lyo1y fn
Towill and Bailey, letter men at endS IN
1905 who were out last season with IN
iuries. are expected to fill out the wing
snositions, unless Sproul takes one OF
the berths.
Four Veteran Backs.
White. Barnett, Lott and Eberhart
are returning for their regular pacn-
field positions. Lott is orlllant al,
round player, being good kicker aIo
also a fine broken field runner, while
White nrohably was the. most consistent
ground gamer in the section last sea-
son Thibodeau is a mighty gooo
hack who has come to the varsity from
the freshman eleven. He is not SO dig,
hut can run, pass and kick about as
vell as ANYBODY Thibodeau mas nao
n Iot of experience and is likely to give
come of the regulars real battle tor
a permanent berth. Falkner is ABOUT
the best of the other backs who came
from the freshman squad, though ia
cobs and Mellon showed considerable
promise.
Desnite the losses sustained by grad
nation. it generally is felt at Lexington
that a successful team should be devel-
oped. And it is fact that Washington
and Lee teams have come to be SO
consistently successful that it seems
usual to expect the team to give good
account of itself.
This chan Scalzi. who seems to have
won permanent berth at quarLernacS
at GEORGETOWN. certainly can throw
foot ball. Anybody who had doubt as
to whether or not Coach Lou Little
would find somebody capable of taking
the place of Nork to toss the ball need
have IL no longer, as few foot ball
PLAYERS can shoot the pigskin better
than the man now doing it for the
Blue and Gray. And, something more
Scalzi is likely to become one OF George
towns best backs. Fast. confdent ano
certain of himself, Scalzi has the phys
ical requirements and, apparently. the
foot bail sense, to make great player
Georgetown has on its varsity eleven
fine looking group of athletes, mer
who would be a credit to any Schoo
anywhere. They take instruction from
their coaches even better than far less
experienced players, as they know
there is far more that they can learn.
Georgetown may not have as good
team as that which wore its colors las'
Fall. and it may not make as good =

1t does not it will not be because o.
any lack of earnestness and Willingness
on the part of the players.
Down at St. Johns College, there L
q young halfback who is about as cleVei
at gaining ground as anybody seen on
local field in a good while. He is non'
other than NcCartee. who held down
Sob in the backfeld on the local st
Johns eleven two years ago. McCartee
Is not very big. and probably will no
tip the scales at more than 140 pounds
but when he gets to wiggling and sway
ing through a broken field he is jus
about AS easy to grasp and hold as al
eel. incidentally. McCartee was th'
star OF st. Johns basket ball .eam las
year.
Levy, who is playing halfback for th
Marines IN their training at Colleg
Park, would grace any college lineup
II he were at Yale or Princeton i
would be dollars against doughnuts tha
he would be mentioned. and possibl
named for all-America honors. He
very fast. can cut and run with a bal

catch passes. He and Shaplev will b
two great backs for the Marines thi
season. Both were brilliant for Marine
last year. and before that Shapley wa
star of the Naval Academy eleven.
Marines plan to remain at Colleg
Park this week, at the end of whicI
they are to go to Philadelphia. wher
