WILL CONTEST HERE

1t was announced toda that the Gov

had accepted the invitation of the War

the high and low goal tournaments.
which are to start here October 8.
Officials of the War Department club
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the fact that the Governors Island
team will be here. 1t was pointed out
that the presence of a team from the
Metropolitan area in both tournaments
would mark the first time in many years
that the I'd Corps Area has been repre-
sented on polo fields hereabouts, and
will give followers of the sport chance
to compare the play of War Depart
ment and Fort Myer teams with that
of high-class outside quartet
Though the lineup of the Governors
Island four is not yet known, it is
sure to be well balanced, smart team.
Col Scott, veteran of many seasons
in the United States and the Philip
pines. probably will captain the visitors.
Capt. Win Houghton, who will leave
Immediately after the tournament for
Mexico City to assume his duties as
assistant military attachs at the Amer
lean embassy, will be one of the main
stays OF the New York team. Having
left here only early last Spring for
duty in New York, he will be remem-
bered as enc of the most promising
polo players to be seen in Potomac Park
in recent years. Lieut.. Alec George,
formerly of the Sd Cavalry team. at Fort
Myer, Is expected to be in the Governors
Island lineup.
The team from New York will bring
its string of about 20 crack ponies to
match those of local riders, already
familiar to Washington lovers of the
game. The Governors Island team
now is playing in the tournament for
the championship of the I'd Corps Area
and, therefore, will be in excellent shape
for the games here.

well in the Dixie circuit. He is IS
years old. five feet. ii inches tall and
weighs 165 pounds. Partridge is a
left-hand batter.
Cantrell, with 10 victories and 16
defeats. has hurled good ball for the
Orioles this season. He is a big fell

Post-season foot ball games
wrecked the few hopes in existence
last season for undefeated teams.
Pitt took walloping from Stanford
IN one. Georgia, the pride of the
South, fell cropper to Tech. That
hurt, for these two teams are rivals
unsurpassed. Credit the victory to
the run of "Stumpy" Thompson,
Techs miniature back, from the
unusual formation that Tech will
continue to employ this season.
Stumpy was in the No. backs
position. Georgia Tech had already
faxed it's end run to its left from
this formation (the play shown
yesterday, which wound up with
No. 2 crashing through an unpro-
tected center. Georgia had to watch
that play. The result-Thompson
broke for touchdown and the VIM
ming score.
This play starts exactly as did the
one shown yesterday. except that
the No back, instead of crouching
and driving back at center. springs
into the interference and aids the
quarterback, No. l, facing just the
opposite way to all other quarter
backs. to take the defensive right
end. AS No. l has a running start
this is hard play for a defensive
right end They get hit from the
side by an opponent who comes at
them full steam. No. helps the end
box the tackle. The left guard No.

off him in four rounds were one hit
and one pass.
After issuing pass and granting a
hit with two gone in the first frame,
Hadley kept the Red SoX off the runway
until the sixth. Then Berry singled
and Ruffing walked. Neither Rothrock
nor Phil Todt could help their mates,
but Ira Flagstead singled Berry to the
plate. The Red Sox put over a tying
run in the seventh. an unearned
marker. A tumble by Bob Reeves put
Taitt on at the start of the round.
Bill Regain sacrificed and Bill Rogell's
single scored Taitt. Berry walked, but
