Devils from the Southern Conference

1t was the first victory of the Tar

Don Jackson, was the first tally for
North Carolina team against the
Devils in the same length of time.
The game was closely battled be-
tween two nearly evenly matched
teams and continual passing tries by
both elevens, as well as a number of
pretty short runs, kept the crowd Of
over 10000 continually guessing what

"A LExANDRIA, Va, November IL
~ Episcopal Highs formidable foot
ball team continued on its win
ming way here today, downing the
Shenandoah Valley Academy eleven,
21-0.
After scoring two touchdowns In
the first nine minutes, Episcopal
yanked its regulars and did not send
them in again until the game had but
six minutes to go.
Andy Duvall, Washington boy, who
heretofore has been used mostly as
a blocking back, was the star of the
Episcopal attack, scoring two touch
downs. He plunged across to both Of
them. A 47-yard run by AL Wilson
brought the other.
The defensive play Of Ben Tucker
and Tucker Harrison for Episcopal
and the general work of Sears, quar-
terback for the invaders, were fea-

enough power on Miles field

eleven, l9 to 6, before a Homecoming

Lacking anything that resembled
an effective offense the Cavaliers
fought for every inch of ground and
turned back several Tech threats that
nearly had reached pay dirt and made
good on their only chance to score.

making the required distance IS

Both played in stellar style most all

both Tech, the former on The Stars
first team in 1888, also turned in good
performances.
Guard jobs are awarded Alexander
Cohen and Marcus Geiger, both Tech.
They generally were rated the class of
the series guards, playing throughout
in bang-up fashion. Ray Wierschem
Eastern, and Bill Shelton, Western
were other guards to show capably
Bill Dunn, Central, landed the CEN
ter position. He was the lone player
to make the team for the second
straight year. Last Fall he was
good center He played stoutly again
this year, and his experience helped
him. Paul Dietrich, Tech, also turned
in f1rst-rate game at center. Johnny
Cavelas, Eastern, was another snap
per-back Of ability.
There may be some who won't agree
that Lee Nichols, Tech, should get
the quarterback assignment. But he
does on our team largely because of
the generalship he showed, in view of
which he also is named captain.
Nichols, in addition, was a good
passer and blocker. Glenn Hawk
Shaw, Eastern, was another quarter
to give good account of himself.
Holmes (Blackie) Heatwole, Tech,
and Bill Summerbell, Western. are
the picks for halfbacks, and Pete Alley,
Tech, gets the fullback post. Heatwole
was outstanding as a broken field
runner and played in stalwart style
on defense. Summerbell proved a
first-rate ball carrier. Alley doubt
less was the best all-around player of
the series. Not only did he carry
the mail" when 1t came to toting the
pigskin. but he was a good kicker,
an Al defensive player and showed
strongly in all other departments.

Bill Guckeyson's triple threat activi-

to the Maryland hopes One led to the
first Hoosier score after an Indiana

covered the ball and after Willis had

w YHILE the public high school

series was discontinued
after only seven Of the ten
games had been played, there was
little doubt that Tech would have
won the flag had the competition
been completed.
The Mckinley eleven, which
boasted two wins and one tie when
the series was called of, following a
fist fight among players in the last
part of the Tech-Western game. had
only to trim the mediocre Roosevelt
bunch to clinch the championship.
The Ruf Riders had lost all three OF
their starts and were given little
chance to stop Tech.
Eastern announced, following dis
closure that Billy Cattell, one Of its
players, was 81 at the time Of the
Eastern-Tech game. that so far as 1t
was concerned the game, the series
opener. was forfeited to Tech. But the
Gray refused to accept the forfeit.
Had the series been continued there
might have been some further devel-
opments regarding the status Of this
game.
When the series was stopped Tech
appeared headed straight for its sixth
title in seven years. 1t rehnquished
the crown to Central in 1888, after
grabbing it five years in a row. East

TINE Old Liners, though, offset the
physical advantages of the Hoyas
in a phase that is not brought
out in the statistics. This is the gen.
eral speed of the backfield and in the
fact that it has more good ball-toting
reserves than the Hilltoppers. Other
wise, as far as the dope" is concerned
and in general sizing-up. no two
squads could be nearer a $3.50 basis.
AS regards the entire aggregations,
Georgetown has 81 aspirants who av-
erage ITO 1887 pounds, 20 25-37 years
of age and 1877 years as varsity grid

If this holds good in the case Of the

Comparisons show that Georgetown
will have an edge in weight, age and

disclose that the starting Hoyas will
average 1873 pounds to the man, 81 8-11
