OF the three personal tax cor

Neither Sherman nor Murlyn paid

toward the Detroit game appears
to be exactly right.
No Fears for Line
Few fears are felt for the
Cards forward wall, for this ar
ray has played to a standstlll
every outfit against which it has
been placed this year. Some
worry is felt for the Cardinal
backfield, but indications are
that the quartet which c. U. will
place against the Titans will
prove it's merit.
Maryland's team is a green
one. It has shown flashes OF
ability, especially in its contest
against Tulane, conqueror of Col
gate. The Old Liners know that
great chance is available to
them this Saturday. If they can
win over Duke, their season is
made.
Georgetown, getting set for
Carnegie Tech, is putting in some
excellent ticks this week. A
chance for the Hoya cripples to
come back to form. coupled with
a keen desire on the part Of the
Hoyas to retrieve the season by
scoring over Carnegie, looms as
great incentive for the Hill
topperS.

c. U. plays Detroit IN Gru1lGn
Stadium Saturday.
George Washington meets Wash

Maryland clashes with united,
undefeated Duke Saturday in Byrd
Stadium, College Park.
Interest of local fans seems cen
tered in visiting teams on this &C.
casion, more so than has been the
instance on prior occasions.
Detroit, since it's decisive vic
tory over united, undefeated Holy
Cross last Saturday, by topheavy
score, has moved right into the
very front ranks of the nations
strongest aggregations. The Tt
tans, coached by Gus Dorais, IA
nous partner of the late Knute
Rockne at Notre Dame, appear
fully the equal of the best of the
country, taking rank among some
followers of the game as the equal
if not the superior, of even South
ern California.
Outplayed Pitt
Washington and Jefferson-a
team which outplayed Pitt for So
minutes of their game this year,
and a team which tied Carnegie
Tech, which in turn tied Notre
Dame-is now better than an even
choice to win over G. WIS weak
ened ColonialS.
Despite the attractiveness of W.
and j. as a team, despite the
popularity of the Presidents, many
people will move into Griff's ball
yard Friday night to decide for
themselves whether or not the
recent blow at G. w. has knocked
out the Colonials or only stunned
them for a few days.
G. WIS coaches have gone
about the task of rebuilding fol-
this game in manner most in
dicative of G.. WIS recuperative
powers. A spirit of fight has
spread itself all through the
Colonial squad.
To Show the World
The Tennessee Incident" seems
to have sent G. w. into vast
determination to show the world,
Dukes ability as a team may
be gagged by studying the facts.
The men of Durham defeated
Tennessee, which in turn de-
feated that part of G. WIS squad
which took the field last Satur-
day. All are willing to concede
that Duke is an outside team of
the South.
AS for the local aggregations,
all three are determined to
register upsets, as victories will
be, if they are scored.

HARRISON WINS
DIXIE GENTRY
BY DANNY GILL

Preliminary sweepstaks for en-
tries in The washington Times
Dixie Sweepstakes are increasing
with each passing day.
Coming through in the pinch
with a pin to spare, Paulie Har-
rison last night won his entry
into The Washington Times Dixie
Sweepstakes at the second rou-otf
at the Arcadia. He had games OF
LOG, 143 and IA.
For the second time. Ed Blak-
eney lost out by one pin-but he
may yet win an Arcadia Sweep
stakes which will give him the
right to enter the Dixie, as Monk
Fraser has decided to hold a third
Saturday at 10 pm.
Going into the last box, Har-
rison found he needed 19 to tie
He smacked out a spare and fol-
lowed with a strike count to win
by one lone maple.
With the Arcadia having al
ready held Two such nights, Ollie
Pacini's Northeast Temple is all
in readiness for the first OF its
roll-offs tonight, -.
Tonight's play at Temple will
start at 10 o'clock at the conclu'
sion of the matches in the Temple
Major League.
The best maplespillers in that
league are expected to compete
for the chance Of entering The
Times Dixie Sweepstakes which
will be rolled November ID at the
Arcadia, Convention Hall and
New Recreation.
The entry fee for the Dixie is
$18 this year.
To roll in the Temple elimina-
lions tonight, bowlers have only
to pay $500. Included among
those VINO will strive to survive
the early tests are Jack Talbert
Ollie Pacini, Chief Lovett, George
Honey, Fireman Jack Mooney
Harry Whitney, Francis Robert
son, Tony Maley, Gus Places
Stuart Patti and Gene Hargett.
Howard Campbell, manager Of
Lucky Strike, has selected Friday
night at 10 as the ideal time to
hold his trials.
This date was picked by him be-
cause the National Capital League,
one Of the fastest in the country,
rolls that night and he will be
practically assured Of a choice
field inasmuch as most Of the
bowlers are expected to remain
and match their skill in the hopes
of winning the right to enter the
Dixie Sweepstakes.
Howard has set the entry fee
for his trials at $1.60.
Charlie Bell will hold his little
sweepstakes at Convention Hall
at 2:30 p. m. Friday. The fee
there will be $1.45.

have been played with Randolph
Macon at Ashland this Saturday.

but in the unusual circum-

The Eagles, who have not won
Q game this season, were defeated
by Gallaudet last Friday. At that
time a number Of the players were
not in condition as the result Of

there was nothing he could add to
