The Headliners,


CYRACUSE and the Navy are two
y Of the unbeaten that are threat
ened with indigo stains.
Princeton, Minnesota, Alabama,
Stanford. Rice, L. S. U. and Illinois.
among others, ought to be as safe as
greyhounds chasing jackrabbits.
1t would be a shock of tidal wave
proportions at this date to see Prince
ton, Minnesota, Alabama or Stanford
beaten. They have the class over
the opponents they must meet. They
have the material And material
makes a foot ball team. The land
scape is loaded with high-class coach
ing. What happened when the ma
terial Topped for Howard Jones and
Harry Kipke?
There is always the opening for a
miracle in any game of sport, but it
will take three-ply miracle to drop
Minnesota, Alabama, Princeton or
Stanford, all powerful kingdoms with
no killing opposition blocking of the
open path.
There will be much surer and safer
checking up after Saturday, espe-
cially in the cases of Syracuse, Col
gate, Pittsburgh. Navy and Princeton.
By Saturday night, large mass of
seaweed will be cleared away, with
only few decisive contests left.

Turner's Guess Wrong.

PROMOTER JOE TURNER rose
overnight from the obscurity Of
a retired rassler to one of the
most successful mat impresarios in
the East. He earned reputation as
a good promoter by matching up the
beefiest rasslers in the land, and, in
cidentally, did right well by J. Turner
financially.
Naturally, Joe leaned toward the
hefty boys when he turned boxing
promoter Logically enough, he based
his reasons for easing the unemploy-
ment situation of a flock Of heavy
weights on the fact that boxing's big
gest gates have been polled by the
upholstered clan. Upon heavyweights,
then, did he place his hopes of max
ing the turnstiles hum.
1t Is beginning to look IS
though Joe was wrong. Wash
ington doesn't seem to be .
heavyweight town.

Maryland Team Leaves.

N TARYLAND left yesterday eve
.lN ming for BLOOMINGTON to play
University of Indiana. The
Indiana eleven features in its offense
an almost countless number of shifts,
and in looking over those maneuvers
yesterday, the Old Liners did not do
any too well in getting the hang" Of
them. -
Coach Bo Mcmillan, who used to
play so brilliantly for Centre College,
apparently is using an offense that
pretty closely resembles a crazy quilt.
The Old Liners squad that is max
ing the trip numbers rs PLAYERS
manager and three coaches. The team
Will get back early Sunday morning.
1t is likely that both George WASH
1ngton and Maryland will start in
their games tomorrow the same line
ups that have borne the brunt of the
Iast tnree games. Both teams are in
good shape physically and should be
at their best, irrespective of what the
results may be.
The Navy and Pittsburgh game at
Annapolis tomorrow will pack the
stands. 1t simply is impossible to get
tickets, as the academy authorities
have no more. 1t is likely that 40 600
would have attended the game had
seats been available, instead of the
25,000 who are lucky enough to hold
tickets
Navy so far has a brilliant record,
but should consider that Dame For
tune smiles most kindly if it gets by
this contest with the Pitt eleven.
Nays one hope should be for Pitt to
underrate it.
If that happens, and Pitt players
enter the game overconfldent, Navy
might stand a good chance, especially
if it were to get the jump and score
early.

The High Spots.


X|ALE steps into more speed. more
power, a better passing attack, q
better running attack, more ex-
perience, far better material, a
stronger kicking game-in fact, as you
might guess by now, a much better
foot ball team in almost every de-
pertinent Of play.
Exceptional spirit, rising to unex-
pected heights, which often happens
in a traditional feud. may keep the
score down and provide closer battle
than many look for. But Princeton,
on her average run Of play, is three
or four touchdowns better than Yale,
and this is q depressing margin to
face on the field.
There should be a star end
duel, with Mcmillan and Lea
of Princeton facing Kelley and
Train Of Yale-and it Is the two
Yale ends that give Eli any
sort Of outside chance.
Navy faces something Of the same
problem against Pittsburgh-but to a
far lesser degree. The young Navy
team must face greater line power
and greater backfield speed. Pitt can
roll at least five or six hard hitting,
fast-moving backs into action. The

CARDINAL SOPHS
GET OPPORTUNITY
Only Three Seniors Will
Start Tomorrow Against
Sodak Eleven.

~ EPARTING from the regular
scheme Of things for final
home foot ball games, Coach
Dutch Bergman announced
today that, instead of starting senior
gridders, three sophomore backs will
start in the Catholic U. backfield
tomorrow at Grifith Ctadium. Only
three of the eight seniors will face
South Dakota.
The sophomores to be promoted
to the regular lineup are Bill
Adamaitis, at left halfback in place
of Tom Gearty; AL Secino, at right
halfback instead of Babe Gearty,
and Bob MakofSke, in fullback in
place of Tom Oliver.
The lone seniors to retain their
places are Red Fleming, end; Gene
Augusterfer, quarterback. and Capt.
Bill Confer, tackle.
The fine work Of Makofske and
Adamaitis in the Oglethorpe game
last Saturday, in which they cut
Southerners' line to piece, had much
to do with the pair finally clinching
starting posts. Makofske has shown
well in every game and is the Car
dinals' high point scorer. His play
against Manhattan and Oglethorpe
has been outstanding.
Adamaitis Versatile.
4 DAMAITIS by his shear brilliance
n against Oglethorpe proved to
Bergman and his aides that he
has the makings of one of the best
backs to represent the school in years.
Not only is he hard runner and
shifty ball carrier, but the best pasSer
on the team.
AL Secino. the third sophomore in
the backf1eld, has been a regular all
season, but due to the fact that he
he was considerably shaken up in the
Holy Cross, Manhattan and Western
Maryland games, has not been able
to take his position as starter.
First string reserve positions in the
backfield tomorrow will probably be
assigned to two other sophomore half
backs in Bob Jefferson and Joe Glo-
deck, while Pete Dranginis. substitute
for Augusterfer at quarter, will be
found in the game against South Da-
kota goodly portion of the time.

SOUTH DAKOTANS
MAY PRESS CARDS
GalIaudet Up Against 1t
Facing Randolph-Macon.
Navy Is Underdog.
BY ii. C. BYRD.


w YITH georgetown idle,
M George Washington and
v v Maryland on foreign grid
irons, Catholic University
and Gallaudet will do the honors for
the home folks on foot ball fields
here tomorrow. Opposed to Catholic
University will be South Dakota, while
Randolph-Mac is to test Gallaudets
strength. The Brooklanders play at
the Clark Griffith Stadium at 2
o'clock and Gallaudet at Kendall
Green at 2:30.
From the little known of the Da-
kota team, it would seem that Catho-
lie University should have marked
advantage. However, the Brook
landers may strike more of a snag
than they expect. Those Dakota lads
are about as sturdy as they come, and
they may have a team capable Of
causing lot of trouble.
Bergman expects to take no greater
chances than he has to, and will send
into the game a proved array of
gridders. So strong will be the for
ward wall that Bergman intends to
put on the field that the visitors will
have to be better than any other
Dakota eleven that has come here
If they expect to penetrate it with
any degree of consistency.
Gallaudet is not likely to win from
Randolph-M Macon, and if it holds the
Ashland eleven to close score it
should feel well satisfied. st. Johns
of Annapolis had the hardest kind OF
a time eking out close victory over
the same team Gallaudet meets and,
by that comparison, it certainly seems
that the Kendall GreenerS are up
against a difficult situation.

SCRAPPY P|TT-TAR
TILT IN PROSPECT
Colgate, Princeton, Notre
Dame Loom as Winners
in Big TussIes.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, November 16.-For
nj better or for worse, here's how
| Y prospects for tomorrow's lead
ing foot ball engagements look
from this corner:
Pitt-Navy-Seven rivals have tried
to sink the Sailors this season and all
have failed. Navy is a fast, we'll
drilled outfit, quick to take advantage
Of every break, but nevertheless Pitt
seems to have too much power to be
stopped, even by so pugnacious a de-
fense as Nays. The choice is the
Panther.
Syracuse -Colgate-Sheer power (Sy-
racuse) VS.. one Of the trickiest attacks
in foot ball history (Colgate). A vote
for Syracuse TO gain the more ground,
but for Colgate to win the ball game.
Princeton Yale-The tradition back
ing this game may make it close, but
it would be trifle inadvisable to bet
against the undefeated Tiger.
Fordham- m-Purdue-The way to beat
Purdue is to stop Purvis and Carter,
but those two lads usually decline to
be halted. Purdue, after tussle.
Looks "Al Minnesota"
MINNESOTA CHICAGO - Chi
Vl cago's cripples will be avail
able, but it's not likely to make
much difference. Minnesota, COM
fortably.
North Carolina -Duke-If 2 and 2
made 4 In foot ball this would be a
pipe. Tennessee beat North Carolina,
1877. Tennessee beat Duke, 14-6. The
answer should be Duke, but it would
be unwise to risk the family jewels.
Georgia Tech-Alabama-There's no
such animal as a sure thing in foot
ball, but Alabama comes close to it
here.
Stanford Olympic Club: Stanford,
but not by much.
Southern California Oregon: Pure
ly shot in the dark, Southern Cali
fornia to finally win a game.
Wisconsin Illinois: The Badgers
may be dangerous, but Illinois has the
winning habit. Illinois, narrowly.
Ohio State-Michigan: More trou.
bic for Michigan.
Notre Dame Northwestern: Neither
has bsen impressive 50 far. hut we'll
take Notre Dame.
A Vote Against Maryland.
INDIANA MARYLAND - Indiana,
but the Big Ten boys had better
watch those Maryland passes.
Tulane Tulane to re-
main in the Southeastern Conference
running.
Louisiana State Mississippi: Like
wise, L. S. u.
Tennessee-Vanderbilt: Tennessee to
emerge the victor after a struggle

~ ball squad is at Morgantown for

all probability has played a more

Fleming a Fine End.

TT SEEMS that the men who are
picking all-Southern teams are
having a hard time finding ends
suitable to their ideals and standards.
In the first place they want big, fast
men who can play offensive as well
as defensive foot ball, and they also
want these men to be able to handle
the ball well so that they can be good
forward pass catchers. Because Of
this it is not amiss to call attention
to the fact that Catholic University
shows an exceptionally good man it
self in the person of Red Fleming
That tall fellow has been a real
strength on the right side of his line
and has developed the offensive play
to much higher point of efficiency
than most of the other men playing
that position.

Capital OFF HeayieS,

"A N EPIDEMIC of screwy decisions
~ unusually stiff competition from
a great foot ball season, and the
moving of the bangtails to Bowie
played a part, of course. October and
November always have been off,
months in boxing.
But foot ball, racing, and bad deci1
sionS do not keep an incurable ring
worm away from scrap, at least not
in such numbers. There never has
been less than twice that many at
the Riding and Hunt Club, a punch
bowl third the size Of the Audi
torium.
So we wonder if the real
reason for so many folk sticking
around the radio last night was
not the pairing of Messrs. Tow
and Everett, whose crime Is
that they are so ideally propor-
toned, physically, that they
come under the classification Of
heavyweights, a species puEil-
istica strictly barred from the

THE SP'ORTZIGHT
Navy Must Play 30 Per Cent Over Its
Head to Whip Pitt, Declares Prophet.
BY GRANTLANp RICE

best tip is that the Navy will put up
slashing scrap against one of the
best teams in the country. where the
breaks will have to be Nays way
before the Panther is cut down..
This will be 10 one-sided battle
in any respect, but the cold, unbiased,
non-elastic dope must point the finger
Pittsburgh's way.
The Navy can beat Pitt only by
playing 80 per cent over its nautical
head, but, for all that, the Panther
will know he's in a jungle war be-
fore sunset falls upon the Severn.
Colgate and Syracuse.
A S TED COX Of Tulane put It, ct
n understand Syracuse Is good
quite good. But beating this No
vember Colgate team is something
else"
Syracuse has a fast, hard-charging
line and flock of first-class backs.
But the Colgate offenSe is one Of the
smartest, one Of the most deceptive
I've seen in years. Any defense that
can stop Michigan State colder than
mackerel on ice must have its
major points. Colgate's attack, thrown
against this stout Orange defense,
ought to produce more sparks than
hammer and anvil marathon.
There will be no upset, whatever hap
pens, although Colgate has a slen-
der margin.
