of the season, on November 10,
less than three weeks away.
Practically every one of the
participants will shoot in this
nationally important event and
each must be rated among the

on many occasions ability to pop
the naples best when the going
is hardest and important "coins"
are on the line.
The Campbell Stakes shooters
who will toe the line are Red

who won in 1881, and Tony San

HARD WORKOUT
FOR ARMY.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. 2.
The Army football team will wind
up their heavy practice for Har-
ward all in an hoIr and a half
workout here today.
As a result Of rain and the
necessity Of leaving West Point
early on Thursday the program
Of the Army coaches for the final
preparations for the game with
the Crimson in the stadium at
Cambridge on Saturday has had to
be scrapped and all the work
which it was planned to spread
over three days will be crowded
into the space of an hour and a
half today. -
The new program is to eliminate
Thursdays practice and have the
squad depart as soon as classes
for the day have been completed.

A number OF outstanding
games mark this week-end's cal
endar, and. as usual, Washing
tonians are scratching their
heads over seven games which
are discussed first.
Catholic University-Wake For
est: A hard game which will be
close. c. U. has just come out
of a very tough game against
Holy Cross but should be able
to win over the heavy Wake
Forest eleven.
Duke K lucky: Evenly
matched, therefore, a toss-up.
However, Wade's eleven should
exc out a win, due to it's clever
attack.
Ohio State-Northwestern: The
Wildcats have an attack which
is functioning now, but State
appears to hold an edge.
New York University-Georgia:
Another toss-up, but the trip to
New York will not help Georgia,
and N. Y. U. should win.
1uIane IS CnOSen
Villanova-Boston College: The
latter team strikes it's true stride
just about this time each year.
I look for B. C. to win over
Stuhldreher's eleven, after a bat
tie.
Texas Aggies-Southern Meth
odist: A traditional, and one al
ways bitterly fought. Good chance
for a tie, but if one must pick
winner, I take the AggieS.
Georgia Tech Tulane: A real
battle. Tech is stronger than
most persons think. One must
not make the mistake of basing
an opinion on the scores against
Vanderbilt. The latter tied Tu-
lane and beat Tech, but COM
parative scores count for little.
Good chance here for a tie, but
I suspect that Tulane holds an
edge.
Alabama-V. P. l.: Here is a
battle royal if there ever was one.
John Gains kicking should de-
eide the issue in favor of the
Tide; Harvard-Army: 1t seems
that the Cadets have too many
guns for the Crimson, and be.
sides, Harvard must prepare for
Holy Cross and Yale, who rank
ahead of Army in Harvard's esti-
nation. Pennsylvania Pittsburgh:
The latter should win but might
have a close call. The letdown
after Notre Dame will not be easy
to overcome. Princeton-Lehigh:
The Tiger should win this year
after that disastrous 19-to-7 lick
ing of last year. Columbia-Navy:
Lou Little's men will have fight
on their hands but should come
through.
COlOnials Hold Edge.
George Wash ing o nm r h
Dakota State: Close, but the
ColonialS might click again and
run up a good score. However,
give them Just an edge; Brown

GULL| FLASHES
ON NDR|vES.

Lorraine GULL is warming up
to her mid-SeaSon stride.
Last night she tipped off a
384 set, a new season mark in
the Washington Ladies League.
She had a 148 game.
For the first time in several
years the peerless queen of the
duckpin drives is not leading all
the leagues in which she is
bowling after is games have
been rolled. Her big set gave
the Ell-GeeS, her own team, high
team set, 1908, for the loop.
Reed" Megaw is also flashing
some of his last season form.
He pounded out a 4O1 set, in
the National Capital League,
with games Of 110, 1875 and 166,
to shove Temple Laundry across
in two games against Lucky
Strike.
other notable scores were Ed
MacDonald'S 1877 set and 149
game in the Takoma Business
Mems League, tanners 384 set
and 1856 game in the Mems
Lutheran loop, Jimmy Poulos'
365 in the King Pin circuit and
Mayhew's 379 set in the East
Washington Church League.
Among the girls. besides Gulli's
big blast, was Mary Vogel's 326
set and 120 game in the Eastern
Star Loop. Leonberger's 3O3 and
113 in the Ladies Lutheran
League.
Sammy Rubinton proved that
writing about bowling doesn't
totally disable a guy from flash
ing on the drives. Sammy topped
the Herald League with a 334
set yesterday and it SO surprised
his Meteor team mates that they
lost two games,
