Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-11

the game and virtually all other foot
ball games have been transferred to
Friday so that everybody will be LEFT
Georgia Tech and North Carolina have
moved their game in Atlanta up one
day and play this afternoon. Probably
there is not much reason for shifting
the games from Saturday to Friday ex-
cept that Georgia has made special
effort to have present representatives
of other Southern universities and the
games have been shifted to allow
coaches and athletic ofncials oppor-
tunities to accept Georgia's invitation.
Vanderbilt goes to Minneapolis to
play Minnesota. The Nashville school
hopes for another turnover such as 1t
staged some few years ago when 1t
whipped the Gophers by too. How
ever, Dan McGugin Is not overly opti.
mistic, as he thinks that his team OF
this year is hardly as strong by COM
parison as it was then.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute Is hop
ing for a good showing against Penn
sylvania. The Blacksburg school makes
its first appearance on Franklin Field
in its game with the Quakers tomorrow,
and naturally wants to display Its wares
to advantage. Athletic Director Miles
and Coach Gustafson have made little
comment about the game except to say
from the beginning OF practice that the
game with Penn would be their nrst
and main objective during the early
part of the season.
Pittsburgh and West Virginia play
their annual game at Pittsburgh, ana
this year the former seems to have a
bigger pre-game advantage than In q
long while The Panthers indicated by
their decisive rout of Duke University
that they again have one Of their
strongest teams. Not only Is the pres
ent Pitt eleven fast. but 1t Is said to be
made UP of very versatile collection
Of young physical giants, about as big
an eleven as represents any school.
While, Yale meets Georgia in the
South, Harvard plays New Hampshire
and Princeton faces Brown. Harvard
ought to win easily, while Princeton
probably will defeat Brown with what
ever difficulty Bill Roper thinks ad-
not stronger than has been indicated.
Bucknell and washington and Jeffer-
son are slated to meet in game that
may have all the earmarkS of mid
season contest. Both eleve11S are nearly
always strong and both usually are
made up Of good material well coached.
Virginia entertains Swarthmore and
probably will have battle on its hands.
The Cavaliers think they will be some
what fortunate If they win, but the
chances seem to be good that they will.
Kentucky beat Washington and Lee
last year by 6 to 0, and the latter is
hnYaA%sh ~ kRaN frAR HA 80 "a a
letter Dick Smith, graduate manager
of athletics at Washington and Lee,
refuses to take too optimistic view of
the possibilities Of the game, as he says
Il might feel pretty good over the pros
poets for our game with Kentucky be-
cause of our one-sided defeat Of North
Carolina State. but when remember
that North Carolina State last year was
the last foot ball game that we won until
we beat them again this year ! am not
going to claim anything.
Virginia Military Institute meets Cita-
del, school that usually has far bet
ter eleven than it gets credit for in this
immediate section. However, Virginia
Military Institute probably Is strong
enough to win.
Tulane should beat Mississippi Aggies,
Louisiana State ought to win from
Sewanee. Tennessee from Mississippi,
and Florida from Alabama Poly. Glenn
son ought to beat North Carolina State
this afternoon at Raleigh.
Only one intersectional game Is to be
played, that at Syracuse between SYRIA
cuse and Nebraska. Syracuse so far has
seemed to be the stronger team.
Out on the Pacific Coast the game
between the University of Washington
and Southern California seems to offer
the greatest possibilities.
