College Foot Ball Responds
Quickly and Generously to
Charity's Appeal for Help

The Army-Navy game at New York
December IL, originally the one big char
ity clash, now takes place as the climax
of a great foot ball festival. with two
gridiron tournaments involving Yale,
Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Brown on
the one hand and Princeton. Pennsyl-
vania Cornell and Columbia on the
other taking place during the week
preceding the service clash.
Two Big Journeys.
The two tournaments, which bring
a new idea into Eastern foot ball, were
announced last night through E. X.
Hall, chairman of the intercollegiate
Foot Ball Rules Committee, at the re-
quest of the colleges. The four New
England institutions will meet in the
Yale bowl December 5, while the others
will come together at New York Deem
Der 8. In each tournament two 20
minute preliminary games will be
played, with the opposition decided by
lot. and the two winners will meet In
a Commute final.
The plan was worked out when the
college officials, most of them opposed
to post-season and benefit games as a
matter. Of principle, recognized that
the call of the Presidents represent
alive in the time of national emer.-
gency opens up the question in an
entirely different form
Their schedules, Mr.. Hall explained,
made it difficult for them to arrange
post-season games, and the prospects of
deficits faced by most of the college
athletic associations made the plan of
setting aside the receipts Of a regu-
larly scheduled game impractical.
Although no games have yet been
arranged in the Western Conference, the
rules have been amended to permit
members to engage one another in
charity games and to extend their sea-
Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner
estimated that five such games would
net close to $1,000,000 for the unem-
ployed
Outside of the two tournaments and
the Army-Navy game in the East. Tenn
pie University of Philadelphia has
offered its services, suggesting Pennsyl-
vania as possible opponent, and the
authorities of many other colleges have
expressed their willingness to CO.
operate. The Frankford Yellow Jackets,
a professional team, also has offered to
meet any opponent on ArmiStice day.
The tournament plan brings number
less interesting possibilities for the ordi-
nary foot ball fan. First among these
is the chance that Princeton and Penn
sylvania may meet in one of the games
after nearly 40 years Of shattered foot
ball relations. These teams, which lirst
met in 1876, broke relations after a
particularly rough game in 1894 and
never have met in foot ball since then
Another prospect is that of seeing q
new brand of foot ball. where the rival
teams "shoot the works" in an effort to
do as much scoring as possible in 20
minutes. Gil Dobie, Cornell coach, well
coined the opportunity to try out some
plays that were too risky to use in
regular games and other coaches ex-
pressed similar ideas.

That will end tomorrow night in a
foot ball clash at Griffith Stadium
with George WaShington'S unde-
'1eated eleven.
The foot ballers were to extend greet
ing to President Hoover from the oil
country and then HE to the stadium
to unkink from a long journey. The
Hurricane will do considerable whirling
tonight. banquet-dance will be given
in honor of the team by the Oklahoma
State Society, at Meridian Mansions.
Tonight a big pep meeting will be
held by George Washington students on
the campus and at 7:30 O'Clock, Coaches
Jim Pixlee of the Colonials and Gloomy
Gus Henderson Of the Oklahomans will
talk about tomorrow nights battle over
Station WRC.
HENDERSON is a colorful foot ball
! i leader. This Is his 22d year Of
coaching but he never played the
game at college Strategy is his forte.
LET the other boys score" he tells MS
PLAYERS, your Job is to outscore them"
In Oklahoma they boast that no spec
tator Is ever bored by a game played
by a Henderson team. For instance,
when Tulsa two weeks ago surprised the
foot ball world by beating the famous
Texas Christian University eleven. Is
to O, the first touchdown was scored on
an utterly unorthodox play. Deep In
its own territory, Tulsa used a forward
pass that gained score but II unsuc-
cessful would have made the team
ridiculous.
incidentally, it hasn't been cleared up
whether Tulsa meant to forward pass

urged for all-American selection, drop
ped back as though to punt. whether
such design was thwarted by strongly
) charging Christian limo or whether Pill
kington worked a coup hasn't been re-
lated.
In any event, the George Washington
watchword tomorrow night will be alert
ness.
TULSA won seven Of nine games last
! i year, losing decisively only to the
Haskell Indians and one Of its
hardest victories was that over George
washington, IA. The Colcnials will
have a stronger and better balanced
team on the field tomorrow night than
the lineup that faced the Hurricane
wear ago. On the other hand Tulsa has
made only a few changes. Regarded
from this angle, the game would be
keenly contested. Several of the George
washington backs are nursing injuries,
but hope to function close to 100 per
cent.
The game will be the second major
contest Of Tulsas twentieth season.
Up to this year it had won 152 games,
lost 1o3 and tied 8.
WHILE George Washington is enter
w tanning the grid folk at home,
Georgetown will be embattled In a
night game at Pittsburgh with Du-

The Hoyas' regular backfield is Grip
pied but the team is rated strong
enough with patched-up combination to
win.

THE economics of charity games

responsibility on educational insti-

which shows a gain of 35 percent
in favor of the double cross seed
corn.
The season was very unfavorable
for corn which, due to the drouth
and hot weather, was affected bad.
ly and yields were greatly reduced.
Towever, again this year, double
cross seed corn shows quite an adj
vantage on the average over local
varieties and increased the yield
"a per cent to IS per cent in Meek
err county over the ordinary va
rieties. This indicates that there
are advantages of increasing the
yield by the use of double cross seed
corn. In addition to this it has
been found that double cross ma
lures about a week earlier than the
ordinary varieties and that the ears
are more uniform.
However, double cross does have
it's disadvantages because this new
seed has to be purchased each yea
or else a person has to have a sep
arate seed plot where he is crossing
the results of the first generation.
1t is not advisable to plant corn
from a field produced from double
cross seed as it is found that it
deteriorates very rapidly after the
first year.-Hutchinson Leader.
