It is possible that the MeSSrS. Kelly
and Widmyer started the urge and
commotion for speed this year. Then
again it may have been nothing of the
sort, it being. possibly, Just one of those
years when there are few boys around
who can dust out for the mail
But you can wager the animal coat
against a toothpick that this is to
be the year of the big burst of speed.
There may be even less horsepower
on the lines this year, figuring that
horsesense is going to be much bet
ter now that the boys cannot use
their fists and feet.
But as Mr. Orrell Mitchell of Con-
Zaga High. laments, too much speed
may cause a lot of trouble for the
officials Those speedsters in the back
field will be getting SO swift that the
gentlemen In the knickers will not be
SO sure whether there has been merely
a first down or a touchdown made.
But" Mr.. Mitchell adds, "there will
believe what you hear. Nothing less
than touchdowns are going to satisfy
the coaches"
And Uhen you mention the four
aces on the metropolitan teams you
merely touch the surface. Mary

First in "a Years
WHEN George Washington's eleven

WHEN George Washington's eleven
w invades Lexington, Va. next
Saturday to play Washington
and Lee in the opening game Of the
season for both teams. it will be
the first encounter between the two
in "a years. The last time they
met was in 1908, in Washington,
and there were two previous clashes.
In 1897 George Washington, then
known as Columbian University,
engaged Washington and Lee on
the gridiron for the first time. The
Generals won, 10 to 2. The G. w.
eleven was captained by Granville
Lewis.
Eight years elapsed before the
second game was played. on Thanks
giving morning of 1905, when the
Generals, a light but extremely fast
aggregation, again captured the de-
cision, II to O. Morris, tackle,
was the outstanding player for
George Washington.
The third and last previous con-
test was held on November T. 1908.

this encounter the Colonials, led by

and the District of Columbia.
1t might also be the case in every

works, and in nearby territory, flash is
to be the high grid card.
If there are any faster backs in
the country, or, maybe even the
city, than the long legged sprinter,
AL Kelly of Georgetown's grid team,
or Earl Widmyer, Maryland's candi-
date for gridir0n speed honors, then
somebody better come along and
start to advertise.
But I doubt that any grid club will
display backs any faster than the
Messrs. Kelly and Widmyer, because if
they do then this great old Autumnal
pastime will have to be played on half
mile tracks and the results decided
with stop-watch.
Neither Mr.. Curley Byrd, the IRON
gray tutor OF the Terrapins, nor the
rotund, genial Mr.. Tom Mills of
Georgetown are keeping their super
Mr. Byrd will tell you with grin that
team which permits his gazelle, Wild
myer, to get loose widely around an
end. Hon Mr.. Mills breaks into a
chuckle when he admits that Kelly
cannot only sprint like deer, but may
be just the kicker the school has been
looking for these many years. And
both Kelly and Widmyer can catch
and heave the leather just little bit
better than most players.
I don't think the gentlemen are

ceived the ball. Forty-five yard gain.
Touchdown!
The play itself was simple, the
chief element of its success being
surprise No. l received the ball
direct from center. No. 3, starting
before the ball, raced around the
enemy right end and cut in back
and center. No. dashed out to de-
coy the enemy quarter to the right.
No ran straight at the deep
enemy back on the left, both to
decoy him and block him if neces-
sary. No. 1. meantime ran right
ana back with the ball and, No. 3
being in position, passed to him.
Not much used in 1881, the fly
ing interferer will reappear this
year on special occasions like the
above. Strangely, Yale fell for the
play twice and lost OILS. Interest
ingly, Wood directed the pass into
Albie Booths territory. Albie was
short and Huguley was tall.
