" alumni group is to hold smoker
tonight at the Racquet Club, at
which will be present not only Coach
Tex I1lson and alumni secretary of CIV
Young. but also DR.. Frances P Gaines,
president of the UNIVERSITY All three
are expected TO make addresses. The
smoker is to be held at o'clock.
Tex Tilson. who coaches Washington
ana Lee, was assistant coach to Jimmie
De Hart at Duke and left Duke to 90
back to washington and Lee with De
Hart. When 1t was felt that a change
IN the coaching personnel was advisable,
Iilson was so well thought of by the
Generals that he was placed in complete
charge. incidentally, he is not only
good coach, but about as fine a fellow
as one might care to meet.
IIARRY STANSBURY, athletic d.
i i rector at West Virginia and Earl
Neale, coach are making another
visit to Washington to meet a Blue and
Gray eleven, which does not seem as
strong as one they played against when
both were members Of the West Vir-
glnla Wesleyan eleven. Some years ago
Stansbury came here as quarter and
Neale as end on a West Virginia Wes-
leyan eleven that beat Georgetown
something like 16 to 7, using as a main
ground gaining factor a long pass that
Georgetown was unable to stop. Neale
mas since turned out to be successful
coach, and Stansbury unqueStionably is
one OF the best athletic directors in the
country.
So far this year West Virginia has
won only one game, that with West
Virginia Wesleyan last week. In a
September game it played Washington
and Lee to 0-to-0 tie. The Generals
since that time, though. have seemed
to come along more rapidly, else West
virginia has played stronger teams.
CEORGETOwN, like Catholic Uni
NJ versity, will be playing its final
game. The Blue and Gray would
like mighty well to finish with the long
end OF the score on the right side of
the ledger and is pretty sure to put
out" In order to do So West Virginia
Is going to have to play lot better foot
Dali than 1t has shown in some of its
games this Fall If it wants to win.
Eastern foot ball interest tomorrow
Army-Navy games. Experts seem to
favor Yale and Army. with the posi-
bility conceded that Harvard has a
somewhat better chance than Navy.
Great crowds will be In the stands at
both contests, and from one end of the
world to the other, wherever Yale and
Harvard alumni are located, wherever
an Army post or Navy ship may be men
will be sitting by late tomorrow listen
ing to the radio accounts of the games
or waiting for the scores.
Lafayette and Lehigh meet to settle
an old feud Both schools are inbued
with an intense rivalry that dates back
many years, and their meeting to their
immediate section and to their alumni
is the most important thing of the year
in the way of foot ball game. Down
South University of Georgia hooks up
with Georgia Tech in the same kind
Of a contest and out in the Middle West
Indiana and Purdue are due to settle
pretty much the same differences. Out
on the Pacific Coast Stanford and Cali
fornia meet in a longtime rivalry, a
game that creates among alumni of the
two institutions just as much interest
.aS the one between Yale and harvard
.amotS graduates of those two 3hools.
