In Saturdays football tilt at
Clark Griffith's bah yard
wherein the Marines and the
Coast Guard play for the 1929
grip on the Presidents Cup,
those two branches of the SER
vice may be said to be carrying
on in a field which was orig
inally created for the competi
ton Of the Army and the Navy
and Marine Corps. For reasons
best known to themselves, the
infantry men and gobs have
dropped out Of the bootball cir

Griffith Stadium should groan

at this all-service game Satur-
day, as the meeting of those
elevens will be the nearest thing
in the country this year to that
old Army-Navy classic which
Representatives Britten and
Fish are doing their best to re-
vive.
A year ago when they played
in New London, Conn.,, the
Coast Guard lost to the Marines
by 21 to 0; but this year the
tables are expected to be turned,
as the Guardsmen have their
1928 team practically intact,
while the Marines have been
shot to pieces by orders to
China and Nicaragua.
Thus they do not have the
experienced players they have
had in former seasons, and in
stead of being a walkaway for
them, their coming meeting
with the Coast Guard will be
more in the nature of an up
hill battle for the Leathernecks.
The Coast Guard team is re-
cruited from the whole member
ship of the service, and is
coached by Lieut.. Irving Baker.
The players are concentrated
around the destroyer force, at
New London. The enlisted per-

Guards are approximately the

UNIVERSITY, Va. Oct. 5o.-Just

equal, as both branches of the
service are in harness the year
around, wartime or peace.
The traditions of both are
high and noble and spirit and
courage aplenty are expected to
be demonstrated on the field.
The Marines have been doing
much of their seasons prep
aration out at Maryland Uni
versity, with Curly Byrd's Ter
rapins as scrimmaging part
ners. This has toughened Tom
Keady's Gyreens and put them
in the best of condition, but
in that he has lost so many Of
his former players through for
eign orders, he is none too
sanguine as to Saturdays out
look.
But what Ready lacks in
experience, he has made up in
heft. He has collected one of
the rangiest lines it has ever
been his good fortune to as
semble and his backfield COM
pares well, combining speed
with smart football.
The Marine team has a
unique distinction this year.
that has never been known on
the Marine team. There are
three brothers, the Popplemans.
who will be on the field at the
same time. Raymond Popple-
man has been with the team
last year and the year before,
but his two brothers, Clyde and
Lyle, are a bit newer in the
service than Raymond and this
is their first year to try out
for the big team.
They made quite impressive
records on the West Coast in
the athletic field this year and
come we'll recommended for a
place on the team.
There are also a number of
other West Coast men who have
been playing with the San Diego
teams and who chalked up quite
a few honors for the West
Coast Marines in football, base
ball, swimming and track.
