U. S. Banking on Him.
CHIELDS was a member OF the
y United States unsuccessful Da-
Wis Cup team last Summer. He
is counted on by tennis officials as a
prospect for next years team, and by
going into the movies, if he does, he'll
not sacrifice his amateur standing.
I'll still be eligible to play amateur
tennis if I sign the contract" he
said. I'm not going to play tennis
in the movies"
When Shields isn't playing tennis,
and that's about four months in the
year, he sells insurance, and thereby
is another reason why he might ac-
cept the movie offer.
The insurance company he repre-
sents plans to set up an Office for
him on the Pacific Coast.
1T would be 'triple-barreled' op-
portunity," he smiled. Gosh, I could

Virginia Underestimated.
MARYLAND is in pretty much the
wi same position as George Wash
ington. in that it must meet
an eleven seeking to wipe out some
thing OF its past record. Virginia
has lost to Dartmouth and Navy, but
it should be remembered, at least by
Maryland. has whipped every team
it was supposed to have a chance
against.
Against Navy here, Virginia put up
a fine battle, and again at Dart
mouth it fought we'll against a team
that overpowered Harvard. Its other
three contests have been victories,
including one over Virginia Military
Institute, against which it was not
supposed to have much show.
And the one over V. NJ. /. was won
without Johnson, who is the main
spring of both the defense and at
tack.
Virginia, like Vanderbilt. will come
here with the general public feeling
that 1t is not strong, and that Mary
land, like George Washington, has
everything in its favor The public
bases opinion of Virginia on the re-
suits of its games with Dartmouth
and Navy, against which it should not
have been expected to win. And in
like manner, it should not be thought
that Vanderbilt is weak because it vas
whipped by Louisiana State.
Maryland Expects Battle.
"A MARYLAND actually fears Vir-
lVl ginia more than it did Florida.
The Old Liners cannot help
but remember the games of the last
two years at Charlottesville, when Vir-
ginia was outplayed in everything but
the score. Last year Virginia only
once got within Maryland's 30-yard
line. but Won by 6 to O.
Virginia this year is even more Of
an opportunist than it has ever been.
Last week it was outgained and ap-
parently outplayed by Virginia Mill
tary Institute, yet won.
As matter of fact. this thing Of
saying team that wins is outplayed
is rather ridiculous What really is
meant is that in yardage gained from
scrimmage the winner was outplayed,
but perhaps in more accurate handling
OF the ball, in general alertness on
passes, in brilliant work by some indi-
vidual, the winner has outplayed the
loser, and outplayed the loser in ways
that have counted more than having
been outplayed in the one department
Of ground gaining from scrimmage
plays.

THINK golf is over for the sea-

Winter has sent along a FORE
runner in the shape Of freezing
temperatures that the hardy linksmen
and linkswomen are going to huddle
around the fireside and forego the
game? If you do, you are all wrong.
Although there are no more big
tournaments slated around Washing
ton for this year. there still will be
plenty doing along the links front
until well toward the end Of Novem-
Der. And furthermore, some of the
finest weather Of the year stretches
ahead for the links clan. Golf around
Washington is played every day ex-
