Aerials Save Columbia.

A r ANY rate q brief survey of the
n past week-end's far-flung battle
front sharply defines the fact
that many of the country's grid ma
chimes nave become air-minded.
Up at Baker Field, on the little Is
land Of Manhattan, Columbia's Rose
Bowl Lions were deadlocked in q TT
score with Penn State until the final
few minutes OF play, so the New York
ers proceeded to uncork q series OF
lengthy heaves. Via the air route they
were able to advance down the field
until close enough for the mighty
Barabas to plungs over for the winning
touchdown.
At Cambridge Harvard and Dart
mouth were staging their annual
classic, the Big Green leading by a
shaky margin Of q field goal. But
the boys from Hanover didn't feel so
good about that measly three points
and wanted q touchdown. Banging
away at the Crimson line was about
as sensible as sending in Pete Sarron
to knock the heavyweight crown of
Max Baer's cranium. So what? A
passl A nice long one! And 1t was
-43 yards-from Bill Clark to frankie
Marine. The only pass the Dartmouth
team pegged during the entire fray,
but it turned the trick.
Illinois made one grand gesture
against Michigan to win 7-6. It was
a determined drive to the Wolverines
goal Just before the half. Les Lind
bergh and Jack Beynon, the Illini's
backfield passing combination, ad-
vanced the pigskin much-needed 33
yards on couple of flips and put it
in scoring position.

not only by the saturated pres

not only by hocks of honking
geese iured to warmer climes Those
ominous dark specks spotting the Au-
tumn atmosphere were pigskin projec-
tiles tossed high. wide and handsome
by deft fiippers of the boys behind the
lines. BY degrees, the foot ball has
worked its way up from the CRIME and
grovel of line play to high place Of
soaring communication with feathered
folk Of the upper strata.
The game has seen a radical change
from thump and push to pitch and
catch. But it's a great break for the
little team which formerly battered
itself cockeyed against overwhelming
beef on the hoof. Now, the smart,

Maryland University neatly en-
ployed dumfounding aggregation of
trick passes, intricate triple laterals
behind the line and Shovel heaves"
across the scrambling pack, to mire
the Florida Gators in the Baltimore
mud, 21-0.
Down in the Valley Of the Shenan-
doah v. p. I. was enjoying 10 ad-
vantage over Washington and Lee at
the start of the fourth period. So the
Generals cast all caution to the Oc-
tober zephyrs and staged an air raid
in the shadow of their own goal posts.
Capt. Monk Mattox tipped brief one
to his stalwart end, Charlie Smith,
who raced 10 yards for the tying
touchdown. When the Gobbler's full
back fumbled the kickoff w. and L.
substitute recovered and the winning
points were chalked up on the second
goal crossing.
And so, as in last Saturdays grid
encounters, the tide Of many. a battle
was turned by the nlerest flip of o
wrist, countless scores of games In the
seasons second half probably will be
decided by the arc Of an inflated pig
skin in flight.

NINE SLATED HERE
IN NEXT FORTNIGHT
G. W..Vandy, c. U..WeStern
Maryland, Terp.Virginia
Offered Saturday.
BY H. C. BYRD.

n VINE college foot ball games on
nj local fields this week and next
Y offer a program of gridiron
competition that the great
majority Of big cities do not get in a
whole season. Four are scheduled
this coming Saturday afternoon, one
q week from Friday night and four
more the following Saturday.
Ahy one of three games to be played
this Saturday afternoon would offer an
excellent attraction, an attraction for
which many cities would be glad to
compete- George Washington has VAN
derbilt as its opponent, Catholic Uni
Verslty plays Western Maryland, and
Maryland meets Virginia. Had Van
derbilt not been defeated decisively by
Louisiana State, which is to be George
Washington's opponent next week, the
George Washington Vanderbilt game
would have taken precedence over the
other two. AS matter of fact, it may,
anyway, but in all likelihood. as far as
an exhibition Of technical foot ball is
concerned. the Catholic University
Western Maryland game should be
better than either of the two in which
George Washington and Maryland are
TO figure.

Time for G. w. to Uncover.

u ESIDES swapping into the realiza-
n ton that Vandy will be tough,
the G Streeters in the next
few days will rehearse some offensive
plays as yet unused. So far they
have been fortunate enough to keep
under cover certain weapons that
might pull them through their hardest
games, but the time has come to
reach into the bottom Of the bag.
Vanderbilt scouts in the meantime
haven't been able to furnish Colonel
Dan" and his boys any but informa-
tion about comparatively simple plays.
G. WIS attack must improve so
per cent over past performances, 1t is
believed, If the Buff and Blue is to
carry its undefeated record through
the Vanderbilt game. Faulty timing
and blocking on spinners and reverses
have made the offense look bad on
numerous occasions, causing many
observers to wonder how the same
men who flash brilliance on defense
can display mediocrity in trying to
advance the ball. Naturally, the
Colonials will have to smooth the
offense employed to date before they
attempt anything new.
Plenty of scrimmage, with extra
sessions for skull" practice, likely will
be the order of work until Thursday.
To say the least land strangely, it
may seem to some) George Washing
tons hardest game is Immediately
ahead with team that lost by four
touchdownS last Saturday.

TNOR attendance, for color and gen.
Il eral interest, George Washington
ana Vanderbilt offer much that
Catholic University and Western
Maryland do not, but for real foot
ball Catholic University and West
ern Maryland probably will offer some
thing that the others do not. This
also holds good If the C. U.-Western
Maryland clash be compared to the
one between Virginia and Maryland.
II George Washington beats Van
derbilt, its contest next week with
louisiana State will take precedence
over everything else scheduled and
should rank as one of the two high
spots OF the local gridiron season. At
the same time George Washington
plays Louisiana State. Catholic Uni
versity meets Oglethorpe Maryland
entertains Virginia Military Institute
and American University faces Ran
dolph- Macon.
Apparently Louisiana State is going
to bring here the most powerful eleven
to play on local gridiron this season.
It's 29-to-0 defeat of Vanderbilt, which
is a lot better than that score would
seem to indicate, establishes the Baton

THERE is nothing in black-and-

have we heard a denial from a source
likely to be authoritative.

Joe Cronin isn't used to business
manager Of the Collins ilk. Believe
it or not, he ran the Nationals pretty
much to suit himself. I personally
know he cannot stand for anything
akin to second guessing because last
Summer in the Yankee Stadium dress
ing room I asked Joseph, after the
Nationals had lost to the New Yorks,
why he sent Dave Harris to pinch-hit
against a right-hand pitcher when
he had the southpaw-swinging Cliff
Bolton on the bench.
Joe blinked. a moment and then
turned his back without answering
The next day he apologized and ex-
planned:
"S'help me, can't stand a ques-
ton like that after we lose a game.

have swung. I'm sorry, know va

manager. Never a Squawk, however,

task in the Vanderbilt game

- EORGE WASHIN GTON'S
1 task in the Vanderbilt game
scheduled next Saturday has
been made harder, II any
thing, by Vandy's defeat at the hands
of Louisiana State last Saturday.
The pride Of Coach Dan McGugin's
Commodore eleven, a perennial top
flight Southern team, suffered at the
claws Of the Tiger, and the Nash
vile team Is going to try to take
1t out" on the Colonials.
At least that's the way George
Washington views the game from
the standpoint Of mental attitude. 1t
Is a commonly accepted fact that a
first-class team, such as Vanderbilt
truly is in spite of that one-sided
licking last Saturday, always will
play harder foot ball in the game
following a rude jolt.
The seriousness with which the
Colonials are beginning preparations
for Vandy's invasion was seen yester
day when Head Coach Jim Pixlee
got out one OF his Sunday" lectures
to impress upon his men their mis-
takes OF the Wake Forest game, to-
gether with the danger lurking in the
forthcoming clash.
CoIonials Show Determination.
VYyHILE the Buff and Blue men,
w tor quietly but firmly ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction
with certain things that happened in
the Wake Forest game particularly
the slip-shod blocking), the players
looked and listened with faces that
bespoke determination to improve
themselves.
Colonial scouts (three of them

face the next two Saturdays were
scheduled to return from Nashville
this morning. Detailed reports on
both Vanderbilt and Louisiana State
will be ready for this afternoons
practice, although the L. S. U. dope
will be sidetracked until next week
Pixlee told his men that Wander
bilt's whipping undoubtedly means
that the Commodores will prove
mean" bunch and that the game in
dicated exceptional strength on the
part of Louisiana State rather than
any particular weakness with Nc
Gugins men. The Colonial chieftain
incidentally, needs no lessons from
any one when 1t comes to forecasting
the mental attitude of future oppo-
nent. Last week, for example, he
sized up the Wake Forest Deacons
perfectly and the latter justified him
though to his discomfort - by
threatening until the last whistle to
upset his lads, Perhaps the Colonials
were flushed with victory from the
week previous.

Terrors Have Everything.
THIS Western Maryland eleve
which plays Catholic Universi

TH1S Western Maryland eleven,
j which plays Catholic University
here Saturday, is a good deal
stronger than anybody gives it credit
for being, even its own supporters. It
Is well coached, has in its lineup not
only big forwards, but also two or three
backs of exceptional ability. There are
few teams anywhere that play better
foot ball, and if anybody wants to get
an eyeful of precise and well-timed
play, as we'll as an excellent exhibition
of charging and blocking, that person
can get it by taking look at the lads
from Westminster. Catholic Univer-
sity VIII be against the best team it
has met this year and if it wins, as
good as it is, should consider itself
lucky.
That one-sided defeat of Vanderbilt
by Louisiana State has taken some of
the edge off George Washington's
game with Vanderbilt, but has added
a good deal to the one with Louisiana
State next week. There is not much
doubt that when the Colonials line up
against the boys from Huey Longs
capital they will face one of the two
strongest elevens the South has pro-
duced this year, perhaps the strongest.

n VEN with the Vanderbilt team
t. defeated, though, George Wash
ington cannot afford to take the
game lightly, unless it plays a good
deal better foot ball than it did against
Wake Forest. The kind Of play George
Washington showed against Wake
Forest would hardly beat the Com
modores.
Catholic University's big score
against Manhattan must have sur
prised Coach Bergman about as much
as 1t did others. Bergman was expect
ing the hardest kind of set-to, but
it seems that his young men took the
bit in their teeth and literally and
f1guratively ran away with things.
The BrooklanderS, though, had
better not accept that victory as any
indication of what may happen when
they 70 against Western Maryland
The latter will be coached to point
of perfection to meet the Brookland
attack and also as to where to strike
hard to make its own attack effective
Georgetown was not able to beat
New York University, but it had the
satisfaction of keeping its goal line
free Of any foreign foot. New York
University has potentially q much
stronger eleven than it has shown
itself to be so far this Fall, and that
the Blue and Gray was able to come
through with a 0-to-0 count is to
its credit.
Georgetown has another hurdle to
take this week in meeting Richmond
University at Richmond. The Blue
and Gray will 60 to the Virginia capi-
talsto play the best team Richmond
has ever turned out, and If 1t expects
an easy afternoon had better change
its mental status Immediately.
Georgetown probably has not had O
more difficult game than the one
