Has Four Bright Stars.
Auburn brings to Washington a vet
eran array including four men who al
ready are being touted by experts as
potential 1893 all-Americans. This
starry trio are Dave Ariail, all-Southern
end and selected on some all-American
teams last year; Firpo Phipps Wild
Bull of the Campus" mighty halfback
with flair for winning ball games
in the pinches, and Boots Chembless,
alternate captain and superb guard,
and Dupree. back.
Arian. who was picked among others
on the all-American team chosen by the
captains of the country's major grid
teams in 1892. is rated one of Auburn s
greatest all-around athletes. Besides
being peerless gridder. Ariail is cap
taln-elect and center on the PlainSmen
basket ball team and regular center
fielder on the nine. Phipps last year
was regarded by many Southern ex-
perts as superior to the famous Jimmy
Hitchcock. a teammate who was a pop
ular allAmerican halfback.
The Colonials were not allowed to
brood about the Clemson result, for
they went back into practice routine on
Saturday. getting in an extra day of
preparation for Auburn. For the next
day or two the lineup will remain un-
settled. but Coach Pixlee has promised
that the team that takes the field next
Saturday afternoon will be much su-
perior to that which battled Clemson
Just how many of the players who
started against Clemson will retain
their assignments remains to be seen.
Practices henceforth will be secreted
within the confines of Griffith Stadium

A mn ARBOR, Mich. The
~ Michigan-Oh State game
~ Saturday, which may turn
out to be the deciding bat
tie in the struggle for the Big Ten
championship, has the fans puzzled
when they try to pick the winner.
Both have strong teams; Michigan
has lost only one game IN three
years, but that was to Ohio State in
1881, and the Buckeyes have won
the last two games played in the
Michigan stadium while losing the
last two on their own field.
OAKLAND, Calif.-Here's one man
who seems to have permanent job.
Prof. James L. Hagerty, head of the
philosophy department at St. Mary's
College, has been the official time
keeper at StNary s. California games
for the past Is years.
UNIVERSITY, Ala.-Tom Hupke,
Alabama's star guard, has made
speciality Of blocking punts with
highly gratifying results. In his
three seasons he has blocked nine
punts. one in the opening game this
year, and twice this stunt of his has
resulted in victories over Kentucky.
SOUTH BEND. Ind.-Notre Dame

that was more than enough to pre-

GRID FIRST DOWNS
DECEPTIVE GUAGE
Seldom Jibe With Score.
GeorgetoWn-Manhattan
Notable Exception.
BY ANDREW KERR,

Head Foot Ball Coach, Colgate University.
Y = AMILTON, N. Y, October
~ 16.-In looking over the
results of foot ball games
some fans make a study
of the first downs scored. Many
foot ball followers believe the
number of first downs somewhat
accurately measures the relative
merits of two teams.
A study from this angle of a few
Eastern games last Saturday bears out
the fact that there is no direct cor
relation between first downs made and
points scored For instance, Army beat
Delaware, $40, and the first downs
were, Army, 10; Delaware, 6. Pitt
crushed Navy, 366, with the first downs
1913 in favor of Pittsburgh. Colum-
bia nosed out Virginia, 1876. although
Virginia had one more first down than
Columbia. Colgate had seven first
downs to five for Rutgers. but Colgate
won, 25-2. Lafayette beat N. Y. U. in
first downs, 1913, but New York won
the game by single point.
Strangely enough. in the Manhattan
Georgetown tie game the first downs
were nine apiece. These. figures show
that the defense has developed to a
stage where it is seldom possible to
stage long touchdown drives by piling
up first downs against team Of equal
manpower. In closely contested games
the determining factors are long runs,
successful forward passes and blocked
kicks.

Colonials Offer Brave Front
For Battle With Auburn Here:
Visitors Bring Four Big Stars

|ULL Of the well-known fight in
- stead of harboring unhappy
memories of their ,scoreless
struggle with Clemson, George
Washingtons colorful Colonials now
face their toughest foe since the inva-
sion of Alabama's Crimson Tide last
year. On Saturday afternoon in Grit
fifth Stadium, Jim Pixlee's team will
clash with Alabama Polytechnic Insti-
tute, better known as Auburn, which
last year shared with Tennessee the
championship of the South.
Conservatively rated twice as strong
as Clemson. the Auburn outfit, coached
by Chet Wynne, former Notre Dame
fullback, undoubtedly will test the real
strength of the 1888 George Washington
eleven, which last Friday night disap-
pointed its supporters by failing to de-
feat Clemson.
The Plainsmen were upset last Satur-
day, 1876. by Georgia Tech for their
first defeat since the closing game Of
the 1881 campaign. However. they out
gained the Tornado 271 yards to 147
on running plays and registered 19 first
downs to Techs s. In addition, they
completed l3 of 20 passes attempted
for Il total of more than 100 yards, ac-
cording to Associated Press dispatches.
G. W. Stars Return.
THREE times Auburn drove within
scoring distance only to have
Tech intercept its passes, while
the Tornado never carried the ball to
Auburn's goal on a sustained march.
An interference penalty on pass gave
Tech the ball on the 1-yard line pre-
ceding the first touchdown and hit
or-miss pass far down field accounted
for the other. A safety. resulting from
Casey Kimbrell's tumble of bad CEN
ter pass. and 2 points after touchdowns
completed Georgia Techs score. Au-
burns lone touchdown eliminated a
sustained drive late in the game.
For the forthcoming battle the
Colonials will have their full compile
ment of veterans available with the eX-
ception of Capt. Lee Carlin, triple
threat halfback, WHO is out with a
broken leg The Colonials will regain
the services of the following valuable
players, all of whom for one reason
or another did not see action against
Clemson: Mig McCarver. the fieetest
ball carrier in the squad and a reliable
passer: Johnny Baker, brainy quarter
back who has piloted G. W. to several
outstanding victories; Don Bomba. 300
pound sophomore battering ram who in
two earlier games never was stopped
when he lugged the ball; Chris Doose
another experienced fullback; Hardy
Pearce, giant tackle whose offensive and
defensive charge defies resistance; Bill
Wright. center with plenty of speed
and defensive ability. and Phil Kline.

also has speed-just look this bunch
over"
That means line that from
end to end averages around 212
pounds. And if Cran1er is right
again that also means as Shifty
ball carrier as you'll 1Dunt to
see Gailus is one of the best
guards in America. Gilman is
one OF the star ends.
Michigan has plenty on her own ac-
count with big Bernard backing up the
line-With Petcskey and Ward-two star
ends-with a great kicker in Regeczi
and a set of veterans. Cornell will tell
you what Michigan has.
Out here in the Midwest they figure
Michigan may outsmart Ohio State
but when they take another look at all
that Buckeye manpower they shake
their heads and refuse to make guess.
The answer seems to be-"anybody' S
game when these two meet"
A Strong Set-Up.
TTERE we have Illinois back with
enough stuff to beat Wisconsin
- 2l-o. So Bob zuppke; painter,
philosopher and foot ball coach, is back
terial and he will always be around.
Some of the schedules they play out
here are murderouS. Take Hanley' S
Northwestern schedule-Iowa, Stanford,
Indiana, Ohio State, Illinois, Notre
Dame and Michigan. And seem to
feel I've left another hard one out.
Maybe Minnesota.
Minnesota can't win-but Min
nesota won't be beaten. Indiana
and Purdue-and two ties. You've
get to be good to get draw out
here. This whole sector seems to
be swarming with keen, fast
young men somewhere between
100 and 230. I can't recall any
one sector that ever had as much
material in one year.
In the East Pittsburgh proved its
place by crushing a pretty fair Navy
team. But most of the other eastern
teams have yet to be tested.
From the Far West Stanford couldn't t
beat Northwestern and Howard Jones
and his Southern California delegation
had only a touchdown margin over St.
Mary's, which fell before California.
Down South Duke trimmed Tennessee
which means that another invincible
southern stronghold has fallen. And
that also means that Duke is some
thing to be reckoned with. You don't
beat Tennessee with a pass and a
prayer. You need a line
But in view of all that has happened
so far you can understand why the
Midwest is riding the top of the foot
ball surf today. The season isn't over
yet. And almost anything can happen
in this topsy-turvy sport. We are only

the future to take care of itself.
Meanwhile team known as Nebraska

leading arguments in this respect.
