Folks in and around Washington got
taste last week of the power of the
elevens south of the Nations Capital
and Chattanooga is said to be deter
mined to uphold the standards set here
by its sister institutions. Reports OF
Catholic University scouts, and indica-
tions from scores, form convincing evil
dence of Chattanooga's strength.
n far as people around this town are
"A concerned, they probably remem-
Der Chattanooga more as the scene
of the Union and Confederate struggles
around Lookout Mountain and Mission
ary Ridge. but after Saturday, accord
ing to Forest Cotton. c. U. scout. the
idea is likely to be developed that the
Tennessee manufacturing town also is
the home of some good foot ball. The
University of Chattanooga was estab-
lished in 1867 and is a Methodist insti-
tuition.
Chattanooga not only has a let of
good foot ball players, but it is one of
the best coached teams I've seen this
year" said the Catholic University scout
this morning. The left end was men
toned last year as an all-American
prospect and he deserves it. Unless I
miss my guess, even if We play at our
very best, that team is going to give us
one Of the widest afternoons We have
had in long time. If We win, it will
be only after tough battle and then by
a narrow margin. And to such a team
as that which represents Chattanooga
We can easily lose if we are not at our
best!"
EOR the last three years Chattanoo-
L ga has won the championship of the
Southern intercollegiate Athletic As
sociation without defeat. This sea-
son it has played three games. two of
which have been won easily. while the
other resulted in defeat. The defeat,
even more than the one-Sided victories.
Against Tennessee the score was to 13,
and when it is considered that Ten
nessee scored three touchdownS against
North Carolina something Of what may
be expected out at Brockland may be
realized.
In short, while the University Of
Chattanooga is not very we'll known
here as a university. it is coming this
week with foot ball team capable of
making the best in the South sit up
and take notice. And it should pro-
vide C. u with all the opposition it
wants, and perhaps more. And, some
thing else. it will give to Washing
tonians an opportunity to see good
game, as no other contest of any i'm
portance is listed on a local field.
CEORGETOWN and Maryland have
" the hardest kind of games. but
both are away. The former meets
New York University at New York in
the game for which it has been pointing
since it began practice early In Sep
tember Maryland goes to Durham to
face Duke University. George Wash
ington has Catawba College here in a
night game Friday and the slaughter
is likely to be heartrending. Gauau-
det PLAYS Friday night at Philadelphia
with La Sale and hardly will be strong
enough at that time to win, althougn
it made a better showing last week
than its followers expected.
American University will open its
home season opposing BridgeWater Col
lege. If the Eagles win, it will be their
first victory in two years.
AIMTHER George washington nor
IN MARYLAND should waste much time
worrying over the results OF their
games Saturday with Alabama and Vlr-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. It was not
expected that either of the local schools
would win, and the scores did not up
set any preconceived ideas of the two
losers about their teams. Alabama ana
v. P. l. simply were much better 1oot
ball teams and deserved their victories.
Two glaring faults developed IN tne
Maryland eleven, though, that VIII
have to be corrected il that team wants
tn he the kind of team in November it
would like to be. One is that the tao
king of the secondary defense, aside
from that done by Woods, as far as
the first-string set of backs IS con-
cerned. was just about as miserable as
could be. In fact, the actions OF sew
eral Of the Old Line backs really were
not good enough to be given the term
tackiing. The other fault was In the
lack of any semblance OF follow up on
the part of the linemen. The charging
was not so terrible but there was no
semblance of sustained or effective ell
fort after the charge.
TOHN CAIN. the Alabama back who
scored all of Alabama's touch
. downs, spent last Summer out on
the Pacific Coast taking part in mo-
ton picture, which now is playing at
local theatsr. Cain was granted spe-
cial permission by the Southern Con-
ference for his venture into moVleoofn'
University of Pittsburgh apparently
,s on the high road to another high
scoring season. In the three games Ii
has played it has run up big counts,
and two of the contests apparently
were with strong elevens, West Virginia
and Duuuense. The latter was whipped
Saturday by SO to o and West Virginia
the previous week by 40 to o. ANY
eleven that can run up such counts
against strong teams must nave an
unusual punch.
FIELDING YosT says that the double
I wing back formation is the easiest
gridiron offense to stop, and the
result of the Michigan game with
Northwestern Saturday indicates that
ne knew what he was talking about
when he made the assertion. The
wolverines trimmed Northwestern, Is
to 6. and the famous Rentner, sup
posedly the greatest ground gaining
back in the country, was held groundless
when in territory dangerous to Mich
igan. Purdue was a victor over Min
nesota in the first Big Ten game for
khe latter under Bernie Bierman, former
Tulane coach. Indiana and Ohio State
tied. Z to 7.
Georgia, which a week ago got only
one touchdown against v. P. l., Sat-
urday made 25 points against Tulane.
