4 tober 21.-Virginia is set for
I another festive foot ball Sat-
~ urday, with the Generals
from Washington and Lee coming to
Scott Stadium to furnish the opposi-
ton in the Cavaliers Homecoming
game.
Graduates of 40 years standing ard
more are expected to be on hand for
the formal opening of the new alumni
hall, and for meetings held in connec-
ton with plans for the Alderman
Alumni Fund. An additional influx
is expected for the Fall dances Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday.
Despite the defeat by Maryland,
Coach Gus Tebell's boys will hold the
center Of the stage and are preparing
to hold it well. They are being
pointed for Washington and Lee with
the view of proving that certain
breakdowns while facing q vastly i'm

so promising at the start of the season
is still clouded, however, by the in
ability of A. B. Conner to return to
the lineup. The best all-round back
on the squad, Conner received leg
injury in practice two weeks ago, and
went down in the Maryland game to
be counted out indefinitely.
The backfeld load again win fall on
Captain Harry Martin, with the vet
eran Bus Male and the sophomore
Peter Nistad his chief supports, and
John Acree in the blocking role.
Harry Dinwiddie, the sophomore
passer, is developing into a capable
ball carrier, and may be starter.
The line probably will be intact
from the last three games, with Steve
Davenport and Woody George, ends:
Billy Weeks and Sanford Haskell,
tackles; Ray Schmidt and Conway
Moncure, guards, and AL Berkeley,

Roosevelt SURPRISES.

WESTERN'S tricky shift was irritat-
w ing Roosevelt's line throughout
the game, the Rough Riders repeatedly
jumping offside and back again every
time a Western player so much as
fiexed q muscle. Considering its raw
material, however, Roosevelt made a
surprisingly strong stand against its
heavier opponents.
The Red Raiders unveiled q tall
ented back in Len Weinstein, who will
prove valuable running mate to
Morris Snead. The Jewish lad tipped
two touchdown passes and annoyed
Roosevelt considerably with lengthy
jaunts that paved the way for the
third score. He also pushed across
the extra point following the first
score.
Roosevelt thwarted two attempts to
invade the sanctity Of its end zone
in the first quarter before Western
scored its first touchdown. Fred
Mundy killed the first assault when
he intercepted weinstein's pass on
Roosevelts 5-yard line and romped
back IS yards, while the Roosevelt
line knitted the counter attack by
bracing to hold for downs on its II.
Western struck through the air on
its third march downfield. A lateral
from Prince to Weinstein ate up II
yards to plant the ball on Roosevelt's
81 and Snead sliced of tackle for an
other first down on the II. Vein
stein then tossed q short pass down
the middle to Don Niklason, who zig
Jagged 10 yards to score.

An 80-yard sustained march in the
first few minutes Of play was climaxed
by A. Newmyer crossing Landon's goal
line, producing the only score Of the
game for more than three quarters. A
tumble of punt by Landon receiver
in the fourth period enabled Wannan
to grab the loose ball and run 50 yards
for the winners second touchdown.
Landon scored with less than a minute
to play when Dick Marsh plunged over

Backs Being Drilled.

FAY WILSIE, Lem Cooke. Art
Franks, Bill Mason, Charley Rel
mann and Newell Thomas are among
the change backs who are being given
plenty to do this week. Cooke and
Franks are recruits from the plebe
team of last year. Cooke is develop
ing into a fine running and passing
back, while Franks, primarily as
blocker and defensive man, can carry
the ball and receive pass adeptly.
Franks, indeed, seems the best an
swer at this time to the Navy's efforts
to develop a really big backfleld man.
His 210 pounds certainly qualities
him. A tackle last season, he was
groomed as back during the Spring
practice.
With Irwin Fike and Frank Lynch,
end and tackle, respectively, back in
the game, the former is being alter
mated with Heber Player and the
latter with Duke Ferrara. Each is
likely to get about an equal amount
of work against Princeton.

WANTS MORE END ZONE

CHICAGO, October 20 R.-Litz
Ruseness, Northwestern University
freshman foot ball coach, believes one
way Of adding to the attractiveness Of
the game Is to add at least another 10
yards to the end zones.
Scoring is what the people are in
terested in," he said. If 10 yards or
more were added to the end zones you
would see some wide-open scoring
plays instead of rather unspectacular
smashing with the forward walls piled
high, against each other and there
wouldn't be so many drab, scoreless
ties" s,. -.

A better method Is to take

In that way 1t will cost you nothing

This scarcity is easy enough 70
understand when you realize that an

were no blueflsh. Now there are plenty
Of blues and little chum.
Do your cumming on the flrst OF

way you viii be using your cnum
