Anacostia, at the bottom Of the
high school race with two defeats
and one tie, pulled something Of
surprise yesterday when its injury
ridden eleven held a powerful st.
Johns team scoreless in the first
quarter of non-series game at East
ern Stadium and late in the last quar-
ter put across touchdown the first
time the Johnnies' goal had been
passed this season.
The Johnnies won, 1877, after piling
up l3-point lead in the second
period. Frank Cady passed to- Bill
Hunt from the 1o-yard line to open
the scoring. Frank Days placement
was good, and another touchdown
followed in the same period when Bob
Boyle scored in two attempts from the
As.
Cady, star of the game. closed the
st. Johns book with a l5-yard dash
in the third, but the best run of the
day was made as darkness closed in
around the players. Bill Spencer,
Anacostia halfback, deep in his own
territory, skittered through tackle. side
stepped the secondary and raced 10
yards for the Indians lone touchdown.

Shu, Stricken and EchoIs
on Picked Teams for
1897 Campaign.

Three Virginia Military Institute
football players who will be in the
starting lineup against Maryland in
the Terps' homecoming party at Col
lege Park Saturday were chosen for
all-Southern Conference honors last
fall
Paul Shu, the product of George
washington High of Alexandria, was
named on the first eleven after having
led the loop in scoring for the season
with, IS points. 1t was unusual that he
should be picked in his sophomore
year.
Pair of Ace Linemen.
Dick Strickler, another nearby
product, who went to Lexington from
Washfngton-Lee High of Ballston. was
given place at tackle on the second
combination, while Red Ecllols. a
guard who halls from Portsmouth, was
accorded like honor All three also
were all-State irst-team choices.
V. M. I. has many other topnotch-
ers, and lot of the grid experts see
Capt. Andy Trzeciak as the ace of
them all. Like Shu. he is a triple
threater and in addition is the best
blocking back on the team.
This gives the crippled MARYLAND
team herculean double task of trying
to build up defense for a powerful,
Well-balanced outfit and at the same
time try to polish up an attack with
its leading backs watching the prac-
tice. Quarterback Charley Weidinger
and Joe Murphy. the speedster and
kicker, may play Saturday, but they
looked on at the drill yesterday and
likely will do nothing more today.

spend in talking football when left
on their own. Plays are discussed,
reasons given why this one worked

evolve from just such conferences
between players. OF course, talk is
freer and lengthier on a winning
team, but I guess all football play
ers spend half their time bulling
about football.
Movies, too, occupy the time of
lot of the Redskins. but I guess if
there is any one thing that they do
more than anything else 1t is to
talk football.

.Forr Held Right Good
By British Standards.

Judge him as white hope and
. Thomas is not much account, up to
date. Judge him as British heavy
weight and his stock rises $50 points.
He's got little something more than
Joe Beckett had, Mr.. Mackenzie or
Phainting Phil Scott of Billy the
Bombardier Wells He is by no means
one of the late Don Skene's swooning
swans Of Soho.
Farr does not swoon at all. He has
q good, clean liking for the vertical.
Only Baer brought him down, and it
took murderous wallop to do it. Farr
Is brave and willing and fairly hard
to tag.
Beckett, Scott and Wells were all
eongenital swooners. Wells swooned
.classically. The line of his topple was
as pure as Doric column. You could
never find daylight between the Bonn
bardier's back and the floor no matter
: how hard you tried. He lay straight
and STILL like fallen Sequoia.
Beckett, on the other hand, was a
sloppy swooner. bit buffoon-like in
his work on the floor. Scott was a
disgrace to the art of swooning
: Gypsy Joe used to founder around
on the canvas like a marlin with a
gaff in him. Sometimes he would roll
from one side of the ring to the other.
Sometimes he inched his way from
corner to corner. like a caterpillar
Critics spoke to Beckett about the flaws
2 in his technique. but Joe paid no
attention. He figured that, once you
were on the rug, it was your own busi-
ness what you did there =
- Scott could not even find the floor.
He swooned to one knee, as general
thing, and clutched his ankle with
look of plaintive protest. Philip would
have you believe that dastardly foul
had been committed, and he always
grabbed the lowest part of his anatomy
that he could find, to illustrate. His
work was very unbecoming.
Farr Is three or four cuts above
those boys, Mr.. Mackenzie. He has
never faltered and never quit. But I
don't think he will ever beat Joe Lewis
without a gun.

Bake it is who runs the linemen

in turn is controlled by Owner George

that he saw those fights with his own

When he questioned the Louis-Farr
decision I thought he must have based
his judgment on the radio broadcast
Of Uncle Clement Mccarthy, the fiction
artist, who wore a new summer veil

Thomas was robbed.
Uncle Clement was wrong-unless
he figured that the brown guy was
Farr and the white guy Louis. in
which case he was very right. Without
leaving first gear, Louis handed
Thomas the most stylish licking of the

Either Mr.. Mackenzie was long

had one ear cooked at Uncle Clement

a different fight entirely. I do not
hold any brief for neighbor Louis, but
