Georgetown, rated weaker than

|LL|N| THREAT
IN Bic TEN

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Out of
Saturdays activity in the West
ern Conference came the dark
horse Illinois football team today
equipped and ready to dispute
league title honors with such
powers as Michigan, Purdue and
Ohio State.
The Illini line, together with
the heady generalship of Jack
Beynon, permitted Bob Zuppke's
backs to shunt Wisconsin from
the running, 81 to 0, and hoist
1llini championship hopes for
the first time in four years.
While Ohio State and Michigan
battle for No. l position among
the title favorites Saturday Illi-
noiS meets the Army at Cleveland.
Chicago's eleven, revived under
Clark Shaughnessy's new deal"
administration, likewise appeared
on the horizon as a troublesome
factor to the leaders of other
years. Like Michigan and Ohio
State, Chicago will be playing its
first Big Ten game of the season
Saturday when the Maroons
meet Purdue.
After Purdue's failure to do
better than tie Minnesota Satur-
day, Chicago has been given an
even chance to trip up the power

year went undefeated,

theirs, gave this verson of the
contest:
"The MidShipmen had us on
the run in the first half by
their smart offensive and 1
noticed that even after we had
the game practically cIinched
they continued to hustle as if
the issue were still to be de-
cided. They will win more
games as the season progresses.
They cannot miss with their
fine morale"
For good part Of the first
half I feel Navy had the edge.
Pitt Gets Break
The break came when Pitt re-
ceived punt on its own 25-yard
line with the Navy second team
in against them. A long forward
pass carried Pitt to Navy's 23-
yard mark in one play and from
there Pitt carried it over with a
series of powerful drives.
Pitt is one of the few teams
in America that can produce suf.
ficient power near the goal line
to consistently score from that
position. The Panthers are first,
last and always a power team.
I expect 1883 will mark the sew
enth year Pitt has been unde-
feated by an Eastern team.
The Washington times., 1933-10-16

the past two games and both
Oliver and Bob McVean stepped
up their averages.
Accurate Passing
While the Flyers running at
tack was not any too consistent,
the passing of Finn and Norton
was accurate and was directly re-
sponsible for two of the touch
downs scored.
Oliver, Sniscak and Norton
reeled off several substantial
gains and divers run of 81
yards was the longest run of the
day.
The line as a whole played
good ball defensively but lacked
that consistent and sustaining
charge that will be needed if the
remaining games on the schedule
are to be won against the type
of opposition that is to be met.
The old saying when the for
ward wall goes forward you win
and when the forward wall goes
backward you lose.
Fleming, Mulligan and Nc
Gam, despite their injuries re-
ceived in the Holy Cross game,
performed creditably and with
the experience gained in the past
three games should be of great
benefit to them.
The schedule for the coming
week will be heavy in scrimmage
and a review of the fundamen-
tails also minor changes will be
made in the offense and defen-
sive preparations for the Univer-
sity of Chattanooga battle that
is to be played Friday night at
Griffith Stadium.

anything but an outfit to be so
accepted. The 'NooganS are dan
gerouS.
The Moccasins defeated Ogle-
thorpe on Saturday. Oglethorpe
defeated Manhattan. That should
be enough to indicate that the
Flying Cardinals are up against
the real thing Friday night.
Dudley Merritt, Chattanooga's
195-tackle and captain, writes
that c. U. will have plenty of
trouble stopping Venable andMc-
Call, two triple threat backs. Fur
ther, he states, Chattanooga has a
team composed for the most part
Of juniors and seniors, there be-
ing eight of the former and 10 of
the latter on a squad compliment
ed by six sophomores.
GeorgetoWn'S brilliant battle
against Manhattan, on Saturday,
once again focuses attention on
the Hoyas, and on their coach,
G. U. Jack Hagerty. In Western
Maryland, Georgetown faces an
enemy always worthy. The Green
TerrorS have a penchant for up
setting Georgetown's applicant,
and this year word from West
minister indicates that Western
Maryland'S success this year re-
wolves around the contest with
Georgetown.
Maryland Improving
Maryland indicated in the Tu-
lane game of Saturday that the
Old Liners are ready for their foe
men of Virginia in the annual
series. v. M. I. lost a close one to
Davidson on Saturday, but indi-
Gated that the Keydets are ready
for Maryland. This game looms
as one of the best of the day and
is expected to provide a colorful
spectacle.
Present indications are that
Auburn will be favored to defeat
G. w., C. U. to beat Chattanooga,
Georgetown to win over Western
Maryland, and Maryland to take
a verdict from v. M. I.

lib lay
The Colonials committed errors
in judgment and in execution of
plays against Clemson, and per-
formed up to their previous stand
ard only during The first five min
utes of the game. 1t is hard to
explain just why football team
will perform so we'll one week, as
it did against North Dakota at
Grand Forks on October 6, and
turn about a week later to give
a subpar exhibition, especially
when its mental attitude did not
change for the worse.
At times in the Clemson game
our backs failed to follow inter-
ference after wide holes had been
opened, and then again these
backs did not alter their courses
once they found the interference
broken up by the defense. BY
changing their courses they might
have made considerable gains in
stead of being halted with prac-
tically no gain. But at that the
Colonials totaled 1874 yards on run
ming plays, easily enough to score
touchdowns in any game.
I am hopeful that George Wash
ington will appear to better ad-
vantage against Auburn with some
changes in the lineup. The en-
tire squad has a fine esprit de
corps, and each member seems to
have the teams welfare at heart.
Hence, whatever changes are made
should work to the improvement
of the team.
The G. W. line group is due for
some intensive drilling on charg-
ing. Only for a little while in
the Clemson game did our for
wards show the drive that carried
them four times over North Da-
kota's goal. I am sure that North
Dakota is every whit as strong as
Clemson,

MAKES DEBUT
BY ENGAGING
CENTRAL
BY GARRETT WATERS

About six years ago they had
an 1nterhigh school series foot
ball opener with almost the same
trimmings as that which rules
the rooSt in today's inaugural be-
tween Eastern and Central.
The Central Stadium was the
site, as always has been the case;
the starting hour was $3.50 p. M,
and the two teams decidedly "set"
to put on one of the most inter.
eSting exhibitions of high school
football in seasons.
The game was something of a
toSSup to dope at that time be-
cause Eastern, as team No. /, was
blessed with an excellent array of
veteran talent, namely Frank Hol-
Land and Tom Nally, among 9TH
erS, while Central, as team No. 2,
possessed both experience and
strength with such featured ar.
lists as Larry Pinckney and
George Brandt around.
Close Contest
The two eievens went into ac-
ton that day to do or die, if the
latter were necessary. They played
q very close contest, if memory
serves us correctly, and Eastern
got off to a winning start, only
to be beaten out by Tech later on
for the coveted championship.
Both Eastern and Central we're
figured to battle it out for the
title then, quite as they are doped
to fight it out for honors today.
But will they? The game this af-
ternoon will help answer the ques-
ton.
There's no denying that the
team to get off to winning start
today will be aided immeasurably
in it's games ahead, for the simple
reason that a particular jump
will have been gained over the
other elevens in the race.
Naturally. both Eastern and
Central will be out to get that
Jump this afternoon, as to be-
gin successfully will not only gain
that winning start but will open
up certain incentive that will be
difficult to repulse as the series
gathers momentum.
Eastern Should Win
On the dope, Eastern should be-
come the victor after Referee
Magoffin's final whistle ending
play because of all the lettermen
on hand to play. However, Cen
trail is given as good chance to
triumph, as the team has drilled
itself to an excellent edge and
possesses both experience and tai
ent in Frank Kocsis. George King,
Bill Richardson, Nick Pistolas,
Harry Fishbein and others.
Above all, Doth Eastern and
Central, backed by the thought
that their respective teams are
stronger this year than at any
other time since 1927, hope that
one or the other will be able to
keep Tech from winning the
championship again.
Each goes so far as to say they
will stop the Manual Trainers, but
getting back to today's game, both
will prance on the field to stop
each other momentariy to battle
for final honors later on if such
becomes necessary.
The Washington times., 1933-10-16

Next in line is Catholic Univer.
Sity's battle-and it will be just
that, a battle-With University of
Chattanooga's Moccasins. This
game will also be played in Grit
fifth Stadium, on Friday night.

land clash in Baltimore Stadium

ton. Va. for a contest with Vir-

Expect $4,000 Crowd
Auburn's visit here is expected
to draw $4,000 people to Griffith
Stadium. The colorful Plainsmen
offer two men of All-American
caliber in Firpo Phipps and Dave
Ariail. The former is a tackle,
the latter an end. Ariail was
mentioned last year for ALL
American honors and was the
unanimous choice of teams op-
posing Auburn for that honor.
A study of Saturdays game
against Georgia Tech, which
Auburn lost, shows that the
Plainsmen pushed Tech all over
the lot, gaining many more yards
by rushing than did Tech.
G. W., with Bomba, Baker and
McCarver in the backfield. along
with LeemanS, will be fully so
per cent stronger against Auburn
than the Colonials were against
Clemson on attack.
Alabama newspapers predict
that Auburn will find the going
very tough against G. w. The
ColonialS themselves, pointed es-
pecially for this Auburn game, are
quietly confident of the outcome
of Saturdays contest. The G.. w.
squad today starts intensive prac-
tice sessions in preparations for
Saturdays big game.
