Secure in second place in the 1885,
pound division Of the Capital City Foot
Ball League, after their 13-to-0 victory
over the Janneys yesterday, the Column
bias are eager to get another shot at
the Palace eleven, winners of the
division championship. While the CO.
lumbias could not wrest the title from
Palace, they would like to show the
leading eleven just how good they are
now.
The Columbias completely outplayed
the Janneys, getting dozen first downs
to three for the losers. Prefer was Co.
lumbias' big punch. scoring both touch
downs. Columbias' goal never was
threatened.
Battery B defeated Battery A, 10 to
yesterday at Fort Myer, in game for
the championship Of the 18th Field Ar
tillery.
Mardfeldts overcame the Petworth-
remnants, to 10 to 13, in game marked

CONTINENTAL FIELD TRIAL

to have a shade the better eleven, but
that means little in this particular con-
test. Two years ago the Athens eleven
seemed far stronger. but when 1t went
down to Atlanta the Tech team won
the foot ball game.
Duke University and North Carolina
also are building up a real rivalry, and
they wind up their schedules this week
at Durham. Last year the count was
IA to Z in favor of Carolina. Right
now Carolina apparently is much the
stronger team and should win easily.
However, it may be that Duke will come
to life and put up great foot ball
game. 1t certainly would be remark
able turnover If it were to defeat the
Tarheels.
North Carolina State College goes to
Starkville, Miss, to play Mississippi A.
and M. Neither of these schools has
shown much and their contest is likely
to attract little attention outside the
actual partiSans. Tennessee entertains
South Carolina at Knoxville. Last year
Tennessee defeated the Palmetto State
eleven by 81 to 0. William and Mary
has game at Richmond with Hamp-
den-Sidney.
Army, though defeated by Notre
Dame, is having its praises sung be-
cause it played the superior game. And
inasmuch as the Soldiers, with only q
fair record behind them, gained more
ground by rushing and. according to
the newspaper critics, played generally
better foot ball, they deserve the praise
they are getting. Any team that gains
more ground against Notre Dame than
Notre Dame gains is entitled to have
some nice things said about 1t. It was
Biff Jones final game as coach Of the
Army eleven and he may well take
pride in 1t. Had his team won he
would have had something really worth
while to take away from West Point,
speaking only of that glow which comes
from well earned victories and not Of
other values, which may be just as
great in defeat as in victory.
Navy wound up its season by defeat
ing Dartmouth. an exceptionally credit
able accomplishment, as Yale and Har-
ward may well attest. The Sailors tied
Princeton and lost to Penn and Notre
Dame, but their record in those contests
was 4seod. They played great game
against Notre Dame, had Princeton ap-
parently beaten, only to be tied late in
the game, and lost to Penn in struggle
that could just as easily have been
victory. Navy had a good team, per-
haps just as good as other Navy teams
that have made better records in games
won and lost.

The tools of any sport are its fun
damentals. No basket ball five wins
without mastering them so thor
oughly that their execution is auto
matte, the movements of muscles
employed a habit. So, in the first
articles OF this daily series on basket
ball, game played by more people
than any other competitive one,
I'm going to explain these various
fundamentals ere diagramming and
explaining the plays and systems of
leading flves OF today.
Today thousands of basket ball
squads are devoting their time to
mastering these fundamentals. Were
you on the Indiana squad under
Coach Everett Dean right now, you
would find this fact. Dean devotes
much time to the matter of starting
an attack. You see in this sport
when shot is attempted and missed,
defense switches like a flash to Of
Tense, II defensive player gets the
rebound.
This mans job is to launch the at
tack by a quick pass to a teammate
breaking for the other basket. Two
passes are used-the overhead hook
and the underhand-Which NAV be
either direct or by bounce.
Next-The kind of passes used to
advance the attack.

Never before in the history of
the State of Maryland have two
teams within the State apparently
so strong been scheduled to meet.
Any eleven to beat Georgetown
must be among the best, and any
eleven that could do what Mary
land did. against Yale, and then
the week after, when ordinarily a
letdown should have occurred,
play the kind of foot ball it did
against v. P. l., also ought to be
able to take care of itself fairly
well. When an eleven good enough
to beat Georgetown meets another
strong enough to tie Yale, the one
thing that ought to result is a
great game.
Western Maryland not only has lot
Of good foot ball players, but also Is
exceptionally well coached. Dick Har-
low, who handles the squad, is sound in
his coaching and knows how to handle
men. Western Maryland people are
making no secret of their expectations,
and their expectations, summed up,
mean looking for victory.
Team Play Talks.
The University of Maryland has a
somewhat peculiar team, entirely diff
ferent from that which wore its colors
last year. It has no one player who
stands out and virtually all its success
In the last five weeks has been due to a
''pull together" spirit in which the play
ers have welded themselves into a
formidable unit. And after all that is
the kind of team that stands the best
chance of being consistently successful.
It is understood that the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad is making plans to run
a special train from Washington to
land passengers at the Clifton Park
station. which Is about a 10-minute
walk from the Baltimore stadium. A
special price Of $3.50 for the round trip
is to be charged. The railroad offices
also plan to sell tickets to the game
for the accommodation of their patrons.
Advertising and also the tickets carry
the starting time as $3.50 o'clock, but
in all probability the game will be
moved up half an hoIr to begin at 2
o'clock.
One of the big games of the year in
the South that marks an ancient and
bitter rivalry Is to take place at Athens
between Georgia and Georgia Tech.
The extent Of ten rivalry between these
two schools probably Is unedualed any
where else in the South, the North
Carolina Virginia game hardly meas
uring up to it. This year Georgia seems
