HOWARD DRILLS
FOR HAMPTON

With two more contests on its
football schedule before the an
nual Thanksgiving game with
Lincoln University, the Howard
University Bisons are going
through stiff practice for their
tilt Saturday with the Hampton
SeasiderS at Hampton, Va.
Last weekend in their last
home engagement before the
Lincoln game here at Griffith'S S
Stadium, Howard defeated North
Carolina State in a hard fought
contest, 6 to 2. The BiSonS, who
are rounding out their second
season under the helm of Coach
Bob Verdell, former Northwest
ern University star, have played
a better brand of football this
year than during the 1929 cam
paign.
Last season; the locals were
unable to cop a single fray
and tied the Lions in their
annual engagement Turkey
Day.
So far this season, Verdels
boys won two games and dropped
as many. The return Of Drew,
former tackle under Coach West
has added material strength to
the BiSonS. He has been shifted
to the backfield as fullback.
Practically all of the other
regulars were on the roster last
season.
Lincoln, has had a poor season
so far this year. A victory for
the locals is being predicted
During their 38 years of annual
playing, the Lions have won 10
contests and the Bisons eight,
Eight games have been tied. In
recent years Howard elevens have
been better trained, but Lincoln
has had superior team play.
On Saturday November o.

GAME IS FINAL
I FOR ROPER
ASCOACH
BY TOM THORP

Princeton Is apt to put up a
much stronger fight against Yale
than their seasons record indi-
Gated. The Tigers will be fight
ing it out with the Bulldogs in
the formers backyard. Any one
knowing the recuperative powers
Of the Jungle animal appreciates
what that means.
The Bulldogs are likely to find
the going anything but soft. 1t
may prove a historical battle so
far as gridiron traditions at Old
Nassau hall are concerned. The
Tigers will be fighting to save
themselves from complete ami
hilation.
It only takes half the amount
Of fight to wager a winning bat
tie in such q cause. That Is why
the Jungle animals may prove
more ferocious this week than in
any battle this season.
Bill Roper sings his swan
song to the gridirOn sport on
Saturday. One Of the great
est Of all time mentors, his
fine example has been the in
SpiratiOn for many q Prince
tOnian to Outright opponents.
The Tigers have been as badly
off in several former seasons.
Those who can remember back
to 1919 will recollect West Vir-
pinia defeated the Orange and
Black eleven IS to 0, only to
have the Tigers stage a sensa.
tional comeback the following
weekend to tie a strong Harvard
team 10 to 10 and a week later
beat the Ellis at New Haven by a
close margin.
Past performances have little
bearing on Princeton football re-
suits. The representatives Of old
Nassau hall are famous for their
last-minute stands. Roper is
given credit for being the in
spiration for many Of these great
displays Of fighting spirit.
All Princeton is counting upon
their famous mentor to color his
validictory with one of the great.
est surprises of his career. They
feel Roper has a much better
team than his pupils have shown
themselves to be in any of their
games. They look for a big i'm
provement in the playing of the
Orange and Black representa-
tiveS on Saturday.
A Tiger victory is too Opti-
mistic q view for even loyal
PrincetOnians to predict. A
creditable showing could prove
acceptable to the sons Of the
jungle town seat Of learning.
On cold figures they look
hOpeIesSly OutcIaSsed.
Yale has compiled an impress
sive record for the season. In
fact, it is hard to understand
how PrincetonianS can expect
their representatives to make up
in fight what they apparently
lack in football ability.
The Ellis have scored more
than four times as many points
as their Tiger opponents. Also,
they have had but IL less points
scored against their rock-ribbed
defense. All of which tends to
indicate the, meeting Of the ira
ditional rivals this weekend
should result in a Roman holiday
for Nal Stevens blue pupils.

Mooney quit the game after the
passing Of the big pins, vowing
that he wouldn't be inveigled
into such an effeminate form Of
the game as duckpins. For Is
years he resisted all offers to
come back.
Three years ago he finally sue
cumbed to friendly pleas and i'm
mediately produced sizeable av-
erages in four leagues. Last year
he walloped the pins for a three
league average of 108 and this
year again rolling in three
leagues, the Southeast, Business
Men and D. C. Government, he
expects to climb over the 10
mark.

The affair is to be run in
two classes, with boys who
did not reach their fifteenth
birthday on January l, 1880,
entered in the boys section,
and those who did not slip
above their eighteenth year
on the same date, claSSed as

ideas, has been able to arrange
things to the greatest convent

concerned.
Each duckpin plant will CON
duct an individual tournament
Both the boys and the juniors
will be required to roll two sets,
one this Saturday and the clos

the afternoon and the Juniors

The winner in each class will
be the alley champion entered

The championship tournament
will be held at the alley which

This is Georges first year on
the drives, but last week the kid
walloped the pins in a startling
manner, cutting down 154 in one
game and coming back with a
1872.
Hen Bromley, Georgetown Rec
reation League star, gave notice
to his home alley men that he ex-
poets his two boys, both under IS,
to grab the alley title against all
comers. Byrd Ferneyhough
stands out among Georgetown
Junior entries. He averages
around the 103 mark.
Lucky Strike reports several
entries, mostly recruits from the
high schools: Among those al
ready signed are Harold Carleton,
Of Tech; Bernard Gibson, OF Brad
bury High; Nick Rinaldi, of Lang
ley High, a nephew of Mike and
Leo Rinaldi, well known in local

flashed brilliantly in several
matches with lads their own age
