American foot ball was unknown
in the days of the Confederate
general, but his brilliant tactics on
the battlefield have helped make
the Vanderbilt University gridiron
teams successful.

Washington's battered grid
men will put in some solid licks at
improving their blocking and ball
handling. Last Saturdays defeat at
the hands OF Vanderbilt offered more
evidence that the Colonial attack has
yet to be smoothed.
In meeting unbeaten Louisiana
State next Saturday at Griffith Sta
dium, George Washington will collide
with the hardest blocking team in the
South. Every report from scouts and
newspaper accounts tells the Colonials
that Capt. "Biff" Jones' Bengals are
the best blocking gridders the locals
have scheduled this year.
Colonial coaches are not doubling
the truth of these reports and are GER
tain TO make feverish efforts to i'm
prove G. WIS blocking to point
parallel in effectiveness with that of
the Baton Rouge outfit. The latter
has that precision, that finesse in its
work that marks a truly great foot
ball team.
G. w. Slow Behind Line.
'hN IDEA of the task confronting
n the Colonials along this line may
be cleaned from the fact that
L. S. u. ran over Vanderbilt one week
before Vandy eked out 7-6 decision
over the Buff and Blue.
Slowness in handling the ball be-
hind the line Of scrimmage has ham,
pered George Washington almost as
much rs faulty blocking. Many times
on single and double reverses and spin
ners the ball-carrier has been tackled
before reaching the line. Defensively
George Washington Is strong.
There Is something of Jones' old
West Point teams in the Baton Rouge
gang. The Tigers are Of the driving
type, full OF determination and boast
ing plenty of power individually.
Five G. w. men are nursing injuries
as a result OF the Vandy battle. Harry
Deming and Arnold Benefited have
broken noses-the first of the season
so injured at G. Wand Tuffy Lee
mans. Dave Parrack and Alb Wright
are suffering with various sprains.

Tuffy Leemans emerged from G

laurels added to the heap previously
given him. Rand Dixon, Vandy's own
great back, stated that Leemans was
the best back he had played against
this year. Col. Dan McGugin, Dixons
coach, agreed. Tuffy ran his yards
gained total to 1851 in 1874 runs for
the season.

Once Held Scoreless.

THE only ball club to hold the
Tigers scoreless in two years
was the gallant Centenary Gen.
tlemen of 1888. and they were aided
by an off-side ruling that called an
L. s. U. touchdown back. The Bengals
have scored two or more touchdowns
on all their opponents, save Rice. this
Fall. The powerful Owls. present lead
ers in the Southwest. held L. S U. to
nine points in the seasons opener.
The Bengal defense has been just
as brilliant. No team has scored more
than two touchdowns against L. S.
U. since the arrival Of Jones. The
best any team could do in 1888 was
z points S. M. u. scored IA points
this Fall in tying the Tigers. but such
teams as the veteran Arkansas squad,
1888 Southwest champion, and YAM
derbilt never got inside the Tigers

DRINCETON, getting a "breather"
with Lehigh after its 1870 victory
over Harvard, and Alabama,
Southeastern power house. meeting
Clemson, should win easily. Santa
Clara's Broncos, whose tie with STAN

projected them right into the national
spotlight, have an open date.
Summarized, sectional prospects
and programs for the week are about
as follows:
East-The Colgate Tulane, George
Washington Louisiana State, and
Syracuse Michigan State games share
intersectional interest with Georgias
invasion of New Haven to battle Yale,
surprise conqueror of Dartmouth. Du-
quesne will play Oklahoma A. and NJ.
and Villanova faces South Carolina.
The outstanding domestic game sends
Army's cadets against Harvard. Pop
Warmers Temple Owls. who downed
Holy Cross, l4-0. last week. will try
to keep an undefeated record intact
against Carnegie Tech.
Middle West-Big Ten Conference
offers full schedule for the first time
this season. While Minnesota, Ilu-
nois and Purdue are seeking to keep
their states clean, Ohio State will
battle Chicago and Michigan will play
Wisconsin. Nebraska and Pitt, Navy
and Notre Dame, add the intersec-
tional flavor. Kansas State, only ap-
parent challenger for Nebraska in
the Big Six, should keep going at
Missouris expense.

University today begin to
reorganize their shattered
gridiron forces to meet the exigencies
of other impending struggles; strug-
giles that, at least in the case OF
George Washington, are likely to be
even more exacting in their demands
than those with Vanderbilt and West
ern Maryland
With Louisiana State University,
which trampled Vanderbilt by mar
gin of nearly 80 points. just ahead,
the Colonials can hardly look forward
to anything but a desperate uphill
fight, with the chances OF victory
slender indeed.
And inaSmuch as Oglethorpe in its
section often holds the same position
that Western Maryland does in this,
that of giant-killer. Catholic Uni
versity can hardly plan for it with
equanimity, to say the best.
However, Catholic UniverSity'S task
Is nothing in comparison to George
WaShingtons. No one need doubt for
an instant that Louisiana State Is
one of the strongest teams in the
whole South and Southwest and
probably would be able to give good
account of itself on any gridiron.
Any eleven that could defeat Wander
bilt as it did is one to be reckoned
with by any opponent.

Princeton is a team of foot ball

Unfortunately, unless Yale and
Dartmouth come along in hurry, no

1t isn't easy to keep keyed up when

Harvard's Play.


HARVARD did all that lighter and
n less experienced material could
be expected to show against a
better foot ball team.
The defensive play Of the Crimson
line from end to end was especially
strong and stout-hearted.
This line refused to be overpow-
cred or swept aside when Princeton
had the ball. despite the fact that
Princetons line was charging fast
and hard.
Harvard had good running back
in Mosely, but he had been injured
and could not last out.
The Harvard attack never had a
chance to get under way. The Tiger
carried too much speed and power
in his defensive surge for the Grim
son to hold in check. So Harvard
backs were often checked or stopped
before taking more than step or two.
Harvard had two good ends in
Kelley and Dubiel. who stood up well
in front of Princeton's slashing, run
ming attack.
This Harvard team is still young
md a bit green, but it should be out
of the woods by next Fall, with more
experience to direct its course.
1t has another hard afternoon
against the Army this week. and
