OLD RIVALS
The Mohawks are happy lot

The Mohawks are a happy lot
today.
They defeated the st. Mary'S
Celtics yesterday in Griffith Sta
dium, 6 to 0.
The game was played on a
mud-soaked field which was a
disadvantage to both teams and
for three quarters the elevenS
battled to a StandStill. In the
fourth and final period of the
interesting exhibition of football
the Hawks braced and played
like a college outfit. f.
It was Frank Stipe, MohaWkS'
Washington Monument end who
paved the way for the Hawks
winning six points. He caught
Small" Delabre's long pass which
placed the oval on the Celtics'
4-yard line. The game was get
ting older every second, in fact
there was only 40 seconds to go.
At this point Coach Artie Won

Hensely Immediately carried the
ball and he gained one yard. On
the next play he received the
oval again and tossed a lateral
to Pepco Barry who gained two
yards, placing the ball on the l.
yard line. Fee Colliere signaled
for Barry to take the ball and
he went back three yards and
then ploughed through the cen
ter of the line for the score.
Colliere'S pass for the extra
point was grounded. That was
all. (

Michigan's sturdy defense and

Minnesota put up a great fight.
In fact, counting yardage gained

this is customary with the VOL

into the pocket. 1t rifled single
pin spares like a machine gun.
But it seemed to lose it's effective
ness in the final five games.
In last years Dixie Barnes had
collected 1907 total for his
first ten games, a 33-pin lead on
his nearest rival, Pacini, and
an average of 1870. but all he
could get in his last five games
was 565, losing the title by four
pins.
In winning the U. S. Sweep
stakes he maintained a terrific
1877 average for the first ten
games, and as that put him more
than 100 pins ahead of his near
est competitor, the jinx could do
him no great harm, but never
theless, he was able to average
only 119, for the last five, 18
pins under his first ten game
pace.

Then came the George Wash

again was on top at the end Of
the first ten games with 1881
and substantial lead over the
next man, but the demon jinx
climbed into the saddle and rode
him hard and disastrously, as a
555 set dumped him into fifth

In the final game Saturday it
appeared as if the "old hoodoo"
had again slipped up on him.

PROMISING
BATTLES
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Washington's 1882 football sea-
son should end with a bang.
Indications today are that the
remaining three local games will
prove Just as exciting, just as thrill
ing and just as sensational as the
best game of the year played here.
The George Washington-Okla.
homa game looms as one worth
going miles to see, as also do the
Catholic UniverSity-Loyola contest
and the Georgetown-Carnegie
Tech battle.
Oklahoma's remarkable battle
against Nebraska, which was
pushed to the limit to win over
the Sooners, should prove quite a
warning to G. WIS players. 1t
will be recalled that the great
Pittsburgh eleven. conqueror Of
Army and Notre Dame. only tied
Nebraska. Some notion of the
versatility and strength of Okla
homa may be gained from a study
of the NebraSka-P Pitt and the Okla
homa-NebraSka games.
LOyOIa> Favored
The psychology of football de-
cidedly favors Loyola in its con-
test with the Flying Cardinals.
Whelan, Sheary. Finn, Auguster-
fer, Gross, Fleming. Flynn, ct al,
must be on their mettle if C. U.
is to overcome the advantage
given LoyoIa by Old Man Psy-
chology.
Carnegie T C his remarkable
showing against Pitt, when they
lost by a meager6-to-0 score, makes
the Georgetown Carnegie contest
far more attractive than it ap-
peared to be week ago. Another
factor which lends attractiveness
to the game is the Georgetown
showing in the Bucknell contest.
when the Hoyas, by the excellence
of their play, brought memories
Of Georgetown's great elevens of
the past.
1t is doubtful if any city in the
United States, not even exclud-
ing New York. will have opportuni.
ties to witness such three fine
games as remain for Washington
to see.
The Colonials clash with the
Sooners on Thanksgiving day.
Catholic University meets Loyola
on Saturday. Georgetown battles

be staged in Griffith Stadium.
Maryland tackles its old foe.

Local EIevens Prepare
Georgetown, Catholic Univer-

day started work for their final
games of the year. All three
have announced that they will
concentrate on polishing up
their attacks. Incidentally, all
three confidently expect to flash
the best attack shown to date
by the respective elevens.
Navy, of course. will seek to
improve the middle offenSe. In
the Notre Dame game, Navy
showed that it can gain ground
on the best of teams. and rip"
Miller and his assistants will
work overtime preparing for

Maryland should have quite an

pable of real attack.
