HOWARD DRILLS
FORL|NCOLN

Howard University Bisons went
into strenuous training yesterday
for their annual Thanksgiving
Day tilt with Lincoln University,
its ancient rival, in Philadelphia
at Shibe Park.
Approximately $4,000 people are
expected to see the two aggrega-
tions line up against each other
for the twenty-seventh time. The
annual battle between the two
schools dates back to 1894. From
1895 to 1904 the teams never met,
then from the latter year until
1907 was also an off period. From
1907 to the present time the two
schools have met annually.
Howard has copped nine of the
previous battles: Lincoln, also, the
same number of victories, while
eight contests have resulted in
tie scores. AS the result Of a
safety, Howard won over the
Lions, 2 to 0, here last year.
The Bisons began the season
this year with a bang, beating
John C. Smith and West Virginia
State on successive Saturdays
Then came the Virginia State,
Union, Hampton and Morgan
games, all resulting in defeat
The locals did manage to nose
out q 9-tQ-0 victory over Semi
nary last weekend.

NODAKS LOSE
BUT.ONE
GAME:

What a game this Thanks
giving Day encounter between
George Washington and North
Dakota looms as developing into!
Take these facts, grid fans,
and start pondering them and
you'll see why this game has all
the earmarks of producing one
of the grardest scraps of the
year:
/. Undefeated until Saturday
when Duquesne slipped through
to a triumph, North Dakota will
be fighting mad to redeem itself
by walloping the tar out of
George Washington.
2. George Washington will be
battling to establish themselves
on comparative scores as the best
local team, since Catholic U.
trimmed Duquesne and George
town tied the Dukes.
Prior to Saturdays loss North
Dakota was one of the few un-
beaten elevenS in the country.
They have been tied by Oregon,
but a week later Oregon defeated
New York u, so the Nodaks didn't
feel so badly about that.
Unexpected
But Duquesne's win over them
was unexpected and therefore
twice as CALLING, especially since
they had beaten the Dukes last
year and have appeared much
stronger this season than last. AS
a consequence they expect to un-
leash the full fury of their pent-up
feelings upon the hapleSs Colonl-
ais.
Judging from the appearance
OF the visitors, who are quartered
at the Annapolis Hotel and taking
daily workouts at Griffith Sta
dium, there is everything present
to indicate their ability to carry
out their plans. They have size,
speed, aggressivenesS and ability.
Great Passer
One of their players. Fred Eel
ber, an end of six feet two inches.
is said to be an all-American in
every sense of the word.
He is a demon on defense and
one of the best forward pass re-
ceivers in the game. On all sides
in the northwest he is hailed as
another OoSterbaan.
Capt. John Burma, 200-pound
fullback; Ralph Pierce, sophomore
ball-carrying sensation who is
rated as the best leather carrier
in North Dakota's history, and
Lloyd Richmond, a blocking and
plunging back OF undenied ability,
are the other outstanding NodakS
together with Art Malo, speedy
and effective blocking guard, and
Lamp Wick and Darrall Long, a
pair of 2O0-pound tackles.
Meanwhile the ColonialS are
holding secret sessions polishing
up all their weapons for the
clash. Both elevens will shoot
the works" to knock the other
off. No quarter will be asked
and none expected.

Jack Dempsey Beats
LGnky Babe Hunt

TULSA, Okla, Nov. 24.-Jack
Dempsey continued to sail
smoothly along the comeback
course today after removing an.
other obstacle in the person of
Babe Hunt, Of Ponca City, Okla.
The erstwhile heavyweight box
ing champion uncorked the old
speed and stamina last night to
whip his opponent in four
round exhibition match. Hunt
produced worthy competition dur
ing the first half of the bout,
but wilted before the Demo osey
barrage in the last two rounds.

PRIMO PUNCHES
TALL DUMMY

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-T h e
novelty of fighting a man taller
than himself has caused Primo
Carnera, Italian Behemoth, to in
troduce n innovation in training
for his 15-round bout with Vittorio
Campolo, Argentine Beanpole, at
Madison Square Garden on Fri
day night.
The "Preem" has devised a
specially rigged punching bag for
gymnasium use, which is hung at
about Campolo'S height and is
fastened to the floor by stays.
Practices Uppercuts
With this he is practicing up
percuts, which cannot be used on
a light bag or dummy, anC which
were useless to him in previous
bouts with shorter opponents. It
will be the first time that Camera
will be able to hit up at an oppon-
ent instead of clubbing down at
him.
Although the italian giant was
a 2 to / favorite today, many fis-
tic observers believe he will be an
easy target for Campolo's terrific
right hand punches, which failed
to land on more nimble heavy
weights.

Brothers in Sports

Yes, this annual gathering at
Maryland, has for years been
the high light of the local foot
ball season, not only for the
oversigned but for his brethren
in sports-or should we say near
sports-because after all sports
scribbler is only on the edge OF,
not in, sports.
It seems to us that nowhere
in the land could they cook a
Virginia ham so deliciously and
wrap it around the candled
sweet potatoes so temptingly as
at Maryland, on homecoming
days. And it also seemed to us
that their chefs out yonder can
do more to a roast turkey to
make it melt before ones very
gaze, than almost any other
culinary graduate that ever
came to notice.
And then, too, their ice cream
with fudge sauce is something
to look forward to from year to
year, unequaled, we are sure,
from coast to coast. All this
together with the other good
cheer and genuine hospitality
that has customarily awaited
the homecoming celebrants
from the various printing shops,

WEBB'S 395 SET
FAILS To AID

Ollie Webb's spin ball can do
much damage on occasions. Last
night was one of those occasions,
but Ollie's 395 set, with games of
1876, 1874, and 1876, failed as his
team, Takoma Park, fumbled
away all three games to Rinaldi
Tailors in the National Capital
League, with Leo Rinaldi's 371
taking high honorS.
It boosted the Stitchers right
up into the midst of the pennant
fight, with the Pale Dry and
Farnan's Shoes, and practically
knocked the Takoma team out Of
all chances.
Temple Threatens
The Pale Drys face Red Me-
gaw's Temple this week, in a
match which may further tangle
up the National Capital. Temple
won two last time these two
teams met.

match between Brad Mandley
