Cavaliers P|an
To Take Air

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
23.-How to break through the
2O0-pound line of Washington and
Lee is the problem that perplexes
Gus Tebell, Virginia'S head grid
iron tutor, and Butch Slaughter,
his line assistant, as the Cavaliers
get ready to play the Generals
here Saturday afternoon. The
kickoff is set for 2::30.
The Cavalier coaches have been
considering the possibility Of shift
ing Leonard Trell, 220-pound
tackle, into a guard post in an eff
fort to add more poundage to the
forward wall. Trell is the fastest
man on the start, and may add
the drive needed if he can be
fitted into a guard post.
This would give the Virginians
three linemen tipping the scale at
more than 200 pounds. Sanford
Haskell and Billy Weeks, both vet
Grams, would be the starting
tackles, with Billy Hoback, a
sophomore, held in reserve. w.
and L. has five forwards who
weigh 200 pounds or more, W n
big 257-pound Tubby Owens as
their largest.

When Notre Dame sent its

made critics gasp. Six elevenS, 66
men in armor, dashed out on the
field against the Badgers. Some

According to advance notices

George Washington University'S
coaches are alarmed. The Colon
ialS, you know, meet Wake Forests
Deacons in Griffith Stadium to-
night. The reason for alarm on
the part of the G. w. mentors is
the fact that a lackadaisical spirit
seems to pervade the Buff and
Blue squad despite sharp warnings
that the visiting DeaconS are a
mighty dangerous combination.
G.. WIS grid chiefs can assign no
reason for the apparent let-down
which hit the Colonials along
about Tuesday and which was

day and Thursday practice SEES

Wake Forest will enter tonight's
game given an excellent chance
to win over G. w. Although this
fact has been drilled into members
of Jim PiXlee'S squad, none of the
boys seems to take it seriously.
However, the visiting Baptists take
it very seriously, so seriously, in
deed, that they refuse to concede
G. w. should be installed favorite.
Game Worth Seeing
Tonight's game should prove up
as well worth going to see. Wake
Forest has a strong line and a
raft of good backs. jug Allen,
Deacon field general, is rated a
top blocking back by such coaches
as Hunk" Anderson and Bear"
Wolfe, respectively of North Caro-
lima State and University of North
Carolina. Hal Warren and Dial

backs. Hobo" Daniel Is q rip.
snorting fullback. A slender lad
named Sheppard, substitute (be-
cause he is fragile), is a slippery
fellow, especially in toting back
punts. Warren, Morris and Shep-
pard each has registered a long
touchdown run this season; War
rem dashed 48 yards to score
against North Carolina State, Nor
ris romped So yards to score
against University of North Caro-
lima, and Sheppard lodged his
way so yards after catching a
punt to score against Clemson.
Wake Forest won over North
Carolina State, 9 to 0; lost to
North Carolina, IA to 7, and won
over Clemson, 6 to 0. North Caro-

successive Saturdays defeated
Maryland, IA to 0, and New York

to take to the air early in to-
nights contest. 1t is expected
that Wake Forest will unloose its
ace pinch-passer, Walton Kitchin.

year fired the pass which de-
feated G. W., and in 1884 almost
accomplished the same feat in

running attack far superior to

With backs like Morris. Allen.
Warren, Sheppard, Daniel and

start for G. w. This boy came
up with a grand performance in

, A secret campaign to deprive

been started among the erstwhile
big wigs Of the party by Charles
D. Hilles, Republican national
committeeman of New York, who
for 20 years has represented pow
erful Wall Street financial inter
ests in national politics.
Hilles, in his stop Landon"
campaign, has been seeking to en-
list j. Henry Roraback, the Con-
necticut Republican dictator
Perry Howard, who is influential
among colored delegates from the
South, and others Of the Old

Hilles was defeated by tn e

campaign to nominate Landon for
President. Hamilton declared in
a forceful speech that the indie

would no longer tolerate star

It is also limited that Hilles has

far the movement against the

The tremendous victory that
