HOWARD SEEKS
THIRD WIN

Howard University's football
eleven will try to hang up its third
straight victory when the locals
meet Virginia Union at Richmond,
Va, tomorrow. Having defeated
Smith and West Virginia State
College the BisonS have gotten
away to their best start in four
years.
Coach Verdell. with a few vet
erans, has been for the last three
seasons trying to develop a stellar
eleven at Howard. Apparently, it
seems as though his efforts are 60
ing to bring results this year. In
Marshall, captain and left half
back, Verdell has developed one Of
the best ball carriers in cOlored
football. He formerly played on
a newark, N. j., high school. Per
kins, fullback, who entered
school this year from Mcdonald,
Pa, is proving to be the mainstay
of the team. His two touchdownS
resulted in the defeat of West Vir-
ginia.
Other outstanding colored foot
ball contest carded for the week
ecd include Morgan VS.. Lincoln at
Philadelphia: Shaw VS.. Virginia
State: Hampton VS.. Livingstone,
and A. and T. VS.. Smith. In the

test in South will be the Fisk and

There will be no playoff this
season between Northwestern and
Notre Dame, the two football
teams that battIed to q scorelesS
tie in Chicago'S Soldier Field.
This much was certain today as
the result of a statement by
Father O'Donnell, president Of
Notre Dame, affirming his
schools willingness to participate
in another charity game, but
declining to have Northwestern
as the opponent.
Father O'Donnell and other
school authorities expressed the
belief that Notre Danes willing.

Northwestern would indicate a

Old, Old Story

Maryland has for several
years in the past refused, time
after time, to have any athletic
relations with varsity teams
representing Georgetown. This
year Maryland has one Of the
best teams in its history, while
Georgetown appears to be pretty
badly shot.
after all, why should Byrd
expose his players to the vicious
type Of football Georgetown has
been noted for in the past?
Anyone who sat through the
GeOrgetOwn-Navy game of three
years ago will readily under
stand what 1 mean. In that
game Georgetown lost at least
two t0uchdOwns because of their
desire to slug instead Of block.
"It is significant that George
town has not been invited to
play football ut Navy since that
time. Why not invite the Uni
versity of Virginia to play
Georgetown? Mr.. Adams al
ready knows the answer is No.

One Vote For Md.

We sincerely wish to give
Maryland every consideration
due it. despite our theory that
colleges which wish to do some
thing for the unemployed will
take obstacles out Of the way,
rather than look for ones to
throw in the path. So here goes
the first letter or conversation
or interview, in person or via
telephone. which we have OBJ
served supporting Maryiand's
stand: ".>% -
Il have been a regular reader
Of your columns for several
years and have always found
them interesting and unbiased,
but the Maryland Georgetown
charity game controversy seems
to have found q weak spot in
your armOr. Why don't you
write the real reason for the
GeOrgetOwn-Maryland breach?
Why don't you explain the "ViC
Keen incident?
The Washington times., 1931-10-23

Il have been a fairly regular
attendant at the games played
At College Park and have
noticed that the automobile
licenses are about evenly divided
between the ID. C. and Md. So
why all of this noise about the
ID. C. supporting the Maryland
team? Certainly if the turn
out at the Navy game is to be
taken as a criterion Maryland
could draw q much larger
crowd in Baltimore. The alibi
used in this instance was that
the prices were too high. There
were wide open spaces in the
Sc sections.

II is highly probable that one of the
first matters to be placed before the

times during the past campaign that
he would seek to enlarge the force if
