NAVY VARSITY GIVEN
TROUBLE BY B TEAM

ANNAPOLIS, October 2.-Navy's var
sity foot ball team went through their
first scrimmage yesterday with the B
squad. The Yellow Jackets, under the
direction of Droop Schwab, gave the
regulars plenty of trouble, which af-
forded Bill Ingram great deal of salts
faction, as the varsity mentor is
anxious for the stiffest kind of work.
The rain that fell all during the
practice period gave the Middies a
chance to try out their passes with a
slippery ball. 1t is along this line that
Navy will work the hardest this week,
as ingram wants to have the aerial
plays down to perfection before meeting
Notre Dame in Baltimore October IL.
Only one shift was made in the line
up. futile, who played center on the
plebe team last year, was shifted to
guard during early practice, but today
he has moved back to his old berth and
will be the understudy to Hughes, the
regular ball snapper. Later the regu-
lars were opposed by the Plebe eleven
which are being drilled for their OPEN
ing game with the Western Maryland
freshmen Saturday.

BASKET BALL LEADS
SCHOOLGIRLS LISTS

All of the local high schools, except
Business. will have girls hockey on
their program this year and interclass
basket ball series will be the principal
feature of the Midwinter programs for
each Of them, including the Stenogs.
After Business comes into its own in
new quarters. much more compre-
hensive athletic program will be ar
ranged for the girls as well as the boys.
But at present the sport activities
among the fair sex will be confined to
basket ball and gymnasium classes,
which latter may include q little IN
door track work.
Mrs Charlotte Galpin Rogers of Gen.
trail High School, whose enthusiastic
management of various class basket
ball teams and swimming squads in
the past was one of the important
factors in the success of the Mount
Pleasant schools coed program, Is not
back on the staff this season.
Her absence already is being sorely
felt by the youngsters. She has an
able successor. however. in Miss Dor
othy Under, who will handle swimming
and part Of the basket ball unit, in ad-
dition to conducting certain Of the gym
classes.

GUARDS ARE WORRY
FOR VIRGINIA COACH

UNIVERSITY, Va. october bad
weather has been interfering with the
preparations of Virginia for the game
with South Carolina in Columbia on
Saturday.
Coach Abel wasn't a bit pleased with
the way some of his plays were smasneo
Saturday by the light Randolph-Macon
eleven His disappointment IS pemg
shared by the Cavalier supporters. Last
September the Virginia team ran up Q
60-to-O score on the Yellow Jackets and
there were many who hoped for an
even larger count this year.
Sloan, the brilliant quarterback and
captain, and Hammer, the big hali"
back. were the two shining lights in
the Virginia backfield. Sloan made
some good gains in running back punts
and from Scrimmage. Hammer, VINO
is a native South Carolinian, scored
three of the four Cavalier touchdoWns.
Hammer hasn't had much expert
ence carrying the bali in the two years
he has been winning his "V" in the
backfeld. He made up for lost time
against Randolph Macon. The first
time he got his hands on the ball he
sprinted 18 yards around end for a
touchdown. The second time ne
counted was on a short gain through
the line. Virginia was IS yards from
the goal when he was given the ball
in the third period on an off-tackle
thrust.
Faulconer, Bryant, Thomas, Levy,
Sippley and Odenheimer-all we're given
a chance to show their wares behind
the line. And all of them ran well
when there were holes in the proper
places.
What Coach Abel is worrying about
is that the holes were not always there
when they should have been. For this
reason he is working overtime with his
line. He is not as much bothered about
the tackle positions as about the
guards. Both weight and experience
is lacking among the men who will
flank the center.

~ FORGE WASHINGTON UNI
VERSITY co-eds will open
T their athletic season tomorrow

cal education instructor last year.
Miss Atwell, a graduate of Dennison
University and Wellesley College, will
be assisted in her work by Miss Janet
Jones, a University of Michigan grad
uate, and Miss Helen Lawrence Of
Arnold College and Columbia University.
So comprehensive was the program
mapped out for the Colonials by the
late Mrs. Virginia Hopkins Russell, who
died last Spring on the eve OF her ap-
pointment to a full professorship as
physical education director, that her
successors are going to carry on her
work with but few changes in the cur
ricum. They will stress the organized
compulsory gymnasium work for the
underclassnen in addition to elective
classes in gymnastics for the older
students and will continue to build up
the strength of the varsity hockey, ten
his and basket ball squads each in its
season. In addition, they will retain
soccer, archery, golf, tennis and other
minor sports on the class programs.
Inaugurating varsity work with the
first. turn out of the hockey squad to-
morrow afternoon, the directors expect
TO organize class teams from which the
representative material for the intercol-
legiate series will be selected.

SCHEDULED FOR $3.50

Though the recommendation has yet
to be accepted by Superintendent OF
Schools Ballou, it was agreed by the
principals of the five Washington high
schools yesterday to have the public
high school championship foot ball

GIRLS AT GALLAUDET
PLAN FALL PASTIMES

Basket ball, swimming and indoor
gymnasium work will be the features
of the Fall program for girls at Gal
laudet as usual, where the fair athletes
will be directed on the basket ball
court once more by Elizabeth Benson
and in the tank and on the gym floor
by Ruth RemSberg.
Miss Benson has not yet formulated
definite plans for the basket ball sea-
son, but expects to follow her usual
custom of holding workouts to which
all candidates will be urged to come,
followed by selection of a first and
second team and the arrangement of
brief interscholastic schedule. 1t will
be several weeks before she calls out
her tossers, she states.
Miss Remsberg expects to get her gym
classes under way shortly. and also TO
inaugurate the regular swimming
schedule. A meet will be planned later
in the season in the college tank at
Kendall Green.

to Bring Triple Linen,a H. Grid Team Getting Stronger

a nneman who ranks with the best in
the South. His name is Pincura, and
he stands a good deal over six feet
and seems to be a tackle worthy of the
designation. Dick Harlow coach of
the eleven, thinks he will become one
Of the best men in country.
North Carolina University, due here
Saturday, to play its annual game with
University of Maryland, has several Of
the best backs that have been behind a
line in this section in o long while. In
fact, 1t Is doubtful II any foot ball team
in this section has ever had as many
good backs as the Tarheels possess. They
have four complete backfields, and
there Is not much difference between
the first and third string outfits, and, SO
far as could be seen in the game with
Wake Forest last week, there was vir-
tually no difference between the four
men who started the game in the back
positions and the four who figured as
second string players.
Heavy rains the last two days have
retarded practice on local fields and ap-
parently throughout the section. Some
of the coaches did not take their squads
out at all yesterday, though some others
went out for an hour and half Of hard
work in the mud and rain.
Catholic University entertain the
Mount st. Marys eleven this week, and,
following the defeat of the latter by
Georgetown, is very anxious to wind up
the contest on the long end of the
score And the Brooklanders figure
they will do just that.
Their brilliant game against Boston
College has proved that the team is far
better than last year. and the Cardinal
supporters have confidence enough in
their prospects to believe they will have
an excellent season. And victory over
Mount st. M.ary's, they think, is an ex-
cellent way to start the home schedule.

DISPLAYING MORE
POWER EACH YEAR
Main Reason for Upgrade Is
Improved Material High
Schools Produce.
BY H. C. BYRD.

loot BALL teams in the South
l. Atlantic sections generally are
getting stronger every year.
i With each passing season it
seems that the quality of play
improves, and II all elevenS are con-
sidered 1t probably Is true that better
foot ball will be played this year than
in any previous season. At least, that
is the indication based on the results
of opening games.
In past years 1t Is probable that some
one team has stood out stronger than
any team may stand out this Fall, but
If the performances Of all teams every
year Is taken into account, then team
schools below the Mason and Dixon
line are fairly sure to set new standards.
Right now the teams all are well
coached, all have organizations capable
of handling them well, and all have in
their line-ups some good material.
Probably the main reason for the up
grade on which foot ball finds itself is
the better material Of which the teams
are composed. With the exception of
the State of Maryland. virtually all high
schools everywhere have teams, and
these high schools are sending into the
colleges q lot of chaps who, while they
may not know so much foot ball, are

that they know what foot ball is and
what it is all about. And, of course,
from so many high school elevens are
bound to come more players of the
magnitude of stars" and these play
ers with age and better training become
correspondingly more brilliant
Another thing that has helped foot
ball is the better organizations that
schools in this section have. They have
equipment with which to work and have
competent men to look after the inter-
ests of the squad. Competent coaches.
trainers who take care of injuries and
who see that men are properly pro-
tected from injuries. all add to the de-
velopment OF the sport and build more
efficient and spectacular elevens. OF
course, what is true of the South At
lantic section also Is true of other sec
tons, because the same Improvements
have been made elsewhere. However,
the advancement is much more notice.
able in this section than elsewhere, be-
cause it has been only in the last two
or three years that the schools in this
section have been making real efforts
to get up with the procession.
Before the foot ball season began, and
especially last Winter, one heard a good
deal of talk about the new rules. Much
unfavorable comment was heard, but
those who stated then that the changes
would produce no real difference in the
game seem to have been right. Any
way. with the opening of the season
part of the. past. little difference seems
to have been noted. At least, the I'M
favorable comments, and the favorable
ones, too, apparently are forgotten.
Coaches are too busy working with
what they have in the way Of material
in building up their teams. and specta-
tors are too interested in foot ball
games generally to worry much about
whether or not a player is allowed to
run with a fumbled ball.

Princeton expects Amherst to provide
little more opposition.
At this time the consensus is that
Harvard is the strongest of the three.

ticular advantage. The Tigers though
