Texas Struggle
For Lib berty To
Be Celebrated

GONZALES, Tex, Sept. 4. OPP
Striking similarities in events at
the opening of the American Rev
olution and Texas War for Inde-
pendence are being revealed as
Gonzales prepares for a seyen-day
centennial observance of its part
in wrestling Texas from Mexico.
Gonzales was the Lexington Of
the Texas War for Independence.
Just as the British had marched
out of Boston to seize weapons
when the colonial farmers fired
The shot heard round the world. 3"
Mexican soldiers had come from
San Antonio to take a small can

Caldwell Hastily he rode to the
surrounding settlements spreading
the alarm that brought colonists

Betsy Ross had her counterpart,
too. The women gathered in the

their needles produced a defiant

These scenes are TO be depicted
in the Gonzales celebration OBJ

duction of the battle for the cam

and San Jacinto Battlefield, the
other chief war spots of the reyo-
luton. will be made. Cattle and

Alan Liebler, 18-year-old Georgia
Tech bowler, who is averaging a
100 in the Atlanta City Business

entry for college youths.
Liebler, in his second year of

Howard "Strike" Parker will be
the other Atlanta bowler that

Parker, dubbed "Strike" by many
of the bowlers, because of his
uncanny ability to collect strikes,
particularly when they are most
needed, is averaging 100 for
league, tournament and special
match competition. Parker was

Look To Win
Over Tulsa

Two touchdownconscious teams
trying for scores on every play
collide at 8 o'clock tonight in Grit
fifth Stadium when Tulsa and
George Washington stage their
sixth annual game. 1t marks the
close Of night football in Wash
ington for 1885.
Geared high for this traditional
scrap, one in which they count
victory dearer than in any other
game on their schedules, the Oilers
and Colonials are prepared to
shoot the works. The develop
ments should be Of nature ex-
citing enough to satisfy the typical
washington football crowd which
loves wide-open tactics on the
gridiron.
How Much Dynamite?
Tulsa, though not diSgraced.
hasn't been doing so well this sea-
son with respect to scoring, but
anyone who knows the style OF
play employed by the visitors real
ICES they have plenty of dynamite
stored UP and ready to explode
Thus the question is, How much
dynamite can the Oklahoma lads
set off tonight?
George washington, its appetite
whetted for scoring last week in
a 53-7 rout of Davis and ElkinS
is still hungry for touchdownS
The Colonials are not only anx
ious to repeat last years victory
but to use Tulsa as the vehicle or
which they can ride to a strong
1885 finish. If they win this one
they will be assured Of better than
an even break in wins and losses
for the campaign, regardless oi
outcome of the Thanksgiving Day
clash with North Dakota.
Coach "PoSSum Jim" Pixlee ha!
equipped George Washington with
many surprise plays since he be
gan changing his offenSe three
weeks ago. Tulsa has thoroughly
secuted all that G. w. has showr
so far, but Pixlee has been say

VaCCaro To See
Action For
Hoyds

Georgetown's football players
finished their hard work yester-
day in preparation for their game
tomorrow with Manhattan at
Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn.
AL Vaccaro and Jack Fleck, who
have been on the injured list dur
ing the past week, reported for
practice yesterday. Vaccaro, who
has been suffering from a bad
case of poison oak. will probably
see action, but it is doubtful
whether Fleck will be able to play.
The latter suffered a split lip in
practice on Tuesday, and the in
jured member has not completely
healed.
New Defense
In yesterdays drill, Coach Hag.
erty continued to drill on the
newly-erected defense that he has
set up for Chick Meehan's team.
Hagerty hopes that with this new
defense, and an ample supply o:
substitutionS, he will be able to
stop the power plays Of the Jas
perS.
The Hoyas are scheduled to
leave washington this afternoon
at 4, arriving in New York at
7:45. They will make their head
quarters at the Biltmore Hotel.
Practically the entire student
body, accompanied by the band,
were to leave this afternoon at
/ for New York. The squad will
leave New York Immediately after
the game, arriving in Washington
late Saturday night.
According to the pro- b able
Georgetown lineup as announced
yesterday afternoon by Coach
Hagerty, there will be three
changes.

Battle For
BrownJug
In West
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL
- Tradition guards a dozen or
more Of the football games that
mark the national gridiron card
today. At least one game goes
back more than half a century of
glorious history with few breaks
in the continuity of the series. The
stalwarts Of two other games pick
up the torch lighted by their gal
liant prototypes As years ago. One
series was started A years ago
and three series are hale and
hearty at 43 years.
1t is a poor game in these pale
November days that does not boast
of 20 years or more Of tradition.
Just within that pale is the Strug-
gle Of the week with Army'S en-
battled forces charging and coun-
ter charging 'gainst the host of
Notre Dame.
It was in 1913 that the No.
mads with Knute Rockne at end,
Gus Dorais at quarterback and
the mighty Eichenlaub at full
back came out of South Bend to
beat the Army with dazzling and
battling forward pass attack. This
writer was one of the few sports
writer's of the East who saw the
debut Of the Notre Dame team
in the East.
Play for Brown jug
The Middle West pulses in the
thrill of the big game of the
Western Conference. The mighty
men of Minnesota meet Michi-
gan's Wolverines tomorrow in the
battle for the Little Brown jug"
The tradition of the jug is one
of footballs brightest stories.
Long ago Michigan left for the
Northland with a five gallon jug
of drinking water. The jug was
stolen. Eventually the teams
started playing for it, and the
proudest boast of the men Of
those two teams has always been
to win that water bottle and with
it the right to have their names
inscribed on the surface.
Michigan has defeated Mime
sofa 18 times in % games since
1892, when the series started. In
recent years the tide has turned
toward the Gophers. It looks as
if Minnesota will retain the jug
f.: another year.
The daddy of them all tomor-
row so far as romance and history
are concerned is the game in the
Little Three" of New England.
Amherst and Williams meet today
for the fortyeighth time. 1t was
back in 1884, when the cabbage
head chrysanthemum for the
rooters and the long haired full
back were the vogue that this
series started. Williams has won
% games as compared to 18 for
the Lord Jeff's, and tomorrow il
the dope runs true, will run up its
30th victory.
Here's An Old One
Unbeaten New York University
clashes with Rutgers in New

of Chick Meehan, who was hired
to build and fired when he obeyed
orders. Rutgers used to swarm
down on University Heights and
pile up the score It's different

register it's seventh victory this
season.

Turn Into
Stretch
n DnnD AAHRR Ed
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

What is the national foot
ball situation as the heat is
turned on in November
and the teams round the last
turn into the home stretch?
It is something like this:
Princeton seems to be the
outstanding team in the East,
although D artm t h, New
York University and Syracuse
are also unbeaten. The Tigers
cannot entertain a notion Of
playing in the Rose Bowl because
of an agreement existing tween
Princeton and Yale to play no
post-seaSon games.
In the South, one lone voice
cries out from the wilderness for
the Pasadena's invitation, and
that is the hilarious voice of
North Carolina, which faces its
only stumbling block for unde-
feated honors in Durham tomor-
row when the Duke Blue Devils
will be taken aboard and. may I
add, that taken" is used advis'
edly only.
That will be one of those tradi-
tional games that has ratified
down the decades, and in this type
Of football game an inspired team
may come from nowhere to do the
unexpected.
Not Wired for Sound
In the West the noise is being
raised by Minnesota, although
Marquette, too, possesses a won
derful bill Of health, but Mar.
uuette doesn't seem to be wired
for sound this year.
Splitting Dixie into two sections
and giving the Southwest separate
consideration, the Mustangs Of
Southern MethodiStS stand like a
torch at the crossroads, showing
the way to all the neighbors when
It comes to playing football as it
was originally meant to be played.
In the distant West, California
leads the pack with the only un'
beaten, united record. Her battle
q week from tomorrow with Stan
ford, which has suffered but one
defeat, at the hands Of U. c. L. A.,
and at that by the skinny margin
of only a single point, will deter
mine which Of the pair will act as
host at the Rose Bowl classic.
If California wins, she gets the
call. Should Stanford defeat Cali
fornia by so little as the one point
by which U. C. L. A. defeated
Stanford, I suppose the two will
toss coin.
That One Big Point
But should Stanford defeat Cali.
fornia by more than one point,
the honor will be Stanford's. A
tie game between them would still
leave California with the better
record and in the position Of
meeting the East's, South's, VESTS
or Southwest'S best.
Here in Washington we would
be happy to see North Carolina
which has overcome every OBJ
stacle so far, even the loss of
Johnny Sniscak by ineligibility,
get the call. Southern teams
have ever made popular and for
midable Rose Bowl contenders,
and those who have watched the
Tar Heels advance feel the
Chapel Hill team would carry its
banner high and with credit
should California's Sunshine and
Dame Fortune smile on her.
