Mew York Papers Praise
Georgetown Eleven

Football observers of the New
York newspapers had high praise
for Georgetown's clean-cut victory
over New York University Satur-
day.
The Herald Tribune says:
IN. Y. u. was beaten by George
town at the Stadium In much
the same way that it was beaten
by Fordham earlier. The Little
coached Hilltoppers outwitted q
N. Y. u. team that can be made
to look very dumb by such smart
quarterbacks as Fisher, of Ford
ham, and Scalzi, Of Georgetown.
"It was a triumph Of plays
rather than players for George
town. The perfectly executed
triple pass behind the line, Scalzi
to Leary to Johnny Bozek, fooled
the Violet secondary 50 CON-
pletely that not a Violet back
was within speaking distance of
the slender Georgetown runner
when he broke loose around his
left end.
again on the pass into
the end zone for the second
tOuchdOwn-and every one
knew . pass was coming on
fourth down -- Georgetown
had two receivers waiting
side by side for Scalzi's
straight throw.
"On a similar play when N. Y.
q. had its only scoring chance
inside the 10-yard line, O'Herin
threw the ball to a spot where
three Georgetown players were
counting the houses.
"Georgetown's line outplayed
the Violet forwards. There was
always a Georgetown man, and
sometimes the whole lnie, who
s1fted through to nail the Violet
runner In his tracks, many times
for losses, and the Georgetown
ends, ProVencial and Brennan,
came around from behind to get
Follet and others on the reverses,
spinners and double passes.
Some time this season N. Y.
q. may score a touchdown from
inside the 10-yard line, but we
doubt 1t. The Violet has had at
least a dozen chances now against

~ HILADELPHIA, February 10
- American sprinters have been
trying to match the bullet-like
i speed of Percy Williams at all
sorts of distances, but with uni
form failure.
The Vancouver flyer, double-sprint
winner at the Olympics. had beaten his
rivals from below the border at 40, so
and go yards in Boston, Newark and
New York before he accomplished the
same thing at As yards in the annual
Meadowbrook games in Philadelphia
last night.
Williams list of victims during his
brief but meteoric American invasion
includes such stars as Karl Wildermuth
OF Georgetown, Jimmy DAILY of Holy
Cross, Jimmy Quinn, former Holy Cross
Hash now competing for the New York
A. c., and Chef Bowman and Jimmy
Pappas of the Newark A. C..
The Canadian Express flashed down
the straightaway in 9-1O seconds to
take his heat of the 45-yard special
last night and beat Bowman and ALI
Bates of Penn State in the process.
In the final the Canadian showed the
way by inches to Wildermuth, Pappas
and Bowman In lilo seconds. wilder
muth had won the second heat In
lilo, with Pappas second and John
Fitzpatrick, another Canadian Olympic
star. third.
Paavo Nurrni, beaten at the mile by

The relay duels between the United

If the say-so of w. F. Carey, who
is helping Dempsey promote the
show for the Madison Square Garden
Corporation, can be relied on, suffi-
Gent receipts already are in sight to
pay all bills even If no great profit
Is taken, but the question of which
of the two scrappers will be estab-
lished as the favorite remains to be
answered.
As things stand noto, It depends
upon aUtich section OF the country
one hGppenS to be in. Shnrtey Is
jnncied in NeiD York, but By pery
short margin, and throughout Dirie
the native Georgian is being touted
as q sure 1DinneT.
The placing of any other than In
consequential sums has not been re-
corded, however, and it may or may
not be significant that there has
been no rush to cover wad Of
S25,oeo offered In a prominent rem:
devious of sp0rtsmen In Miami at
even money that Sharkey defeats
Stribling.
The spotty record of Sharkey, who
has looked like a champion in some
fights and performed like a dub in
others, has made the betting fra
ternity dubious regarding him, and
they likewise are inclined to discount
Strib's impressive total of knockouts
on the score that they were compiled
against a collection of second-raters.
The Sharkey adherents are bank
ing on his ability to keep Stribling
at distance and preventing him
from employing the aUrestling tactics
he uses in connection 10ith his eff
tectiue in-fghting. The Georginn's
hackers, on the other hand, are con-
fdent he can teint Shdrkey into a
receptive position for the hard right
hook Strib utilses as a sleep-pro-
duceT.
Condition may decide the issue.
Both were in good physical shape
when they undertook the perfunctory
training each has INDUCED in since
settling in Miami Beach. But Shar-
key, fresh from the chilly North,
may find the change from Winter to
Summer weather great handicap
in reaching the pink. IL this proves
true, Stribling will have considerable
of an advantage, as he Is used to
the muggy, enervating atmosphere Of
Florida.

VIRGINIA i. SPORTS
NOT IN A TURMOIL
Authorities Brand as False
Statements Published as
to Revolution"

UNIVERSITY, Va, February 13-
University of Virginia athletic authori-
ties today made a blanket denial Of a
statement published in newspaper
that with general mutiny in all
branches Of sport, the university found
itself in a state Of wild athletic revo-
luton"
DR.. John II. Neff, faculty representa-
tive on the athletic council, and David
Ellis Brown, graduate manager Of ath-
letics at the university, joined today In
saying that the statement was untrue
from first to last.
The statement charged that Mr..
Browns resignation had been rendered
and accepted, but both the graduate
manager and the faculty representative
said that this was not true. TITS all
news to me-" was the comment of Mr..
Brown.
The status Of Pop" Lannigan, who
is coaching basket ball and track for
his twenty-f1fth season, in unchanged

ball uuint has won three of It's last
four games against strong opposition,
and members Of the track squad placed
well in the Millrose and Newark Ath-
letic Club meets last week. Howard
Holland Is still coaching the first year
basket bali team, which has won all
seven games played.
The statement charged that after the
resignation of Coach Earle Neale to
accept a position with the st. Louis
Cardinals the university authorities
have been faced with difficult task in
finding men to accept the position as
foot ball coach.
Exactly the reverse Is true. Coach
Neale Is still trying to retain the job
as foot ball coach on part-time basis.
and the authorities here have been
swamped with applications Of men who
would like to be his successor. More
than 40 men have been considered.
There has been no consideration Of
the renewal Of gridiron relations with
Georgetown University, nor is the uni
versity considering the establishment
OF athletic scholarships. Almost 200 new
scholarships were created last week, but
the holders must rank In the highest
tenth Of their class. it was pointed out.

ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON=

A S the date for the Shar-
" key-Stribling scuffle ap-
~ proaches-it is set for
4 n two weeks from today
fight fans are becoming some
what nonplused by the silence
Of the usually loquaciouS Lithu-
anian.
"I'll be in good shape-and
ready" Such a simple state
ment from the battler who for
merly made the perpendicular
pronoun his chief stock in con-
versation is mystifying to fol-
lowers of the game. And they
doubtless are a bit diSappoint-
ed thereat, too.
It may be that Jacks change
of procedure is due to the as
surance he has of profiting
100000 worth for his efforts of
the evening, win, lose or draw.
Or perhaps he Is saving up a
choice line of typical blasts
about what he is going to do,
along with some high-powered
belittling of his opponent until
the eve of the fight.
Then, too. 1t may be that he has
decided to limit his pre-fight efforts
toward confounding his antagonist to
the use of his far-famed hypnotic
eye," although there Is reason to
suspect he may have lost some conf
dence in the potent powers of this
agency as the result of its failure to
function with any marked degree of
success against Mr.. K. o. Christner.
For that matter william Laurence
Stribling hasn't had great deal to
say about his impending engage
ment beyond the fact that depend
ing on a busy left hand and right
hook sums up his plans, and that
the said plans are subject to revi-
sion.
But It seems william Lawrence
never has been much given to chat
ter, this detail Of the family corpora
tons business being looked after by
"Pa" Stribling, and the latter, with
or without prOvocati0n, readily as
sures any one that 1--WE" will knock
out Sharkey, although to date he
has not disclosed the exact round.
