SUPPLIES
INDIRECT FODDER
Beats Butler and Detroit by
Similar Scores-G. u.
Opponent Unbeaten.

The first indirect comparison of
Washington's college football teams
for 1888 will be afforded Friday night
when George Washington and Cath
olic University play the week ends
first games at Grifith Stadium and
Detroit, respectively.
Butler, G. WIS foe at the Seventh
street ball park, and the University of
Detroit, c. us host in the Midwest,
appear just about equal, for both were
victims of Purdue by nearly the same
margin. The only difference was that
against Butler, Purdue happened to
convert after all of its touchdowns and
although it made just as many touch
downs against Detroit only one extra
point was added. Purdue licked Butler,
2l-6, and Detroit, 1876 The Cardinals
were to leave for Detroit this afternoon.
Saturday afternoon, the Districts
remaining two colleges of the Big Four,
Georgetown and Maryland, will COM
plete the week end action for local
teams, and, as is the case Friday night,
with one game here and one away.
Georgetown should make it two in a
row over little Roanoke at Griffith
Stadium while Maryland can see little
except third straight setback at
Syracuse.
Meanwhile, Coaches Bill Reinhart,
Dutch Bergman, Jack Hagerty and
Frank Dobson are concentrating on
preparations which will keep them oc-
cupied up until game time.
Fullback Scrap Pleases Reinhart.
Down at Potomac Park, Reinhart
lnwardly was rejoicing and making
no attempt to end the furious scrap
over the G. w. fullback position which
has developed among three sopho-
mores. Lud Urick, John Tonkavitch
and Fred Sartore apparently lack only
one thing-experience But remem-
bering the years when G. w. had
trouble finding even one top-notch
fullback, Reinhart is taking his time
before designating any one of the trio
as the No. ! man. All are displaying
great drive on those short center
punches and all three have blocking
ability.
Tricks performance in the Furman
game was the best of the three, but
Tonkavitch has showed himself into
the picture this week by ripping off
great gains in the scrimmages. Yet,
Sartore seems to have the greatest
possibilities as he kicks and passes we'll.
Paired with Billy Richardson or Vic
Sampson, he's decided threat.
Before boarding train for Detroit
Bergman discounted the possibility of
Boston College-C. U. game here on
October Is. The Bostonians are sched-
uled to play Detroit a week from to-
night and hardly would relish tackling
the Cardinals three days later. After
Friday night c. U. will be idle until
October %. when it plays its first
home game against West Virginia
Wesleyan.
More of an aerial duel than any,
thing else Is expected when c. U.
and Detroit start play Friday. The
Titans are said to depend upon Ed
Palumbo this year as much as they
did Redskin Andy Farkas last season.
and Palumbo is reputed to be one of
the best passers Of that section. C.
U. undoubtedly will depend upon
Burke Vidnovic's tosses to a great ex-
tent.
Hagerty Fights Overconfidence,
Although Roanoke will come here
with an undefeated team which has
played three games. it seems hardly
possible that it will have enough power
to stop Georgetown. The Virginians
licked Newberry College, 1877, and
Lenoir Rhyme, 7-6, but were held to
a 6-6 tie by Catawba.
However, Hagerty isn't allowing the
Hoyas to become too cocky over their
5l-O rout of Hampden-Sydney last
Saturday and took special pains in q
pre-practice lecture yesterday to point
out faults revealed in the opener. The
squad will start to work against
Roanoke formations tomorrow.
Incidentally, local Roanoke alumni
are planning a dinner and meeting to
be held at the University Club Friday
night with the Roanoke coaches and
other officials as special guests. George
P. Grove Of Arlington is president of
the Washington area chapter OF
Roanoke.
Maryland isn't expecting miracles
against Syracuse, but Dobson doesn't
appear too down-hearted over the dis
couraging turn the Terps' fortunes
have taken. Never one to run away
from work, Dobbie in q way appears
eager to accept the challenge to re-
build. which injuries to Jim Meade,
Charley Weidinger, Pershing Mond-
orf1 and Rip Hewitt have given him.
1t now looks as If Maryland will
send four sophomores into the Syracuse
game, with one Of them, little 150-
pound Joe Murphy, calling signals in
Weidingers place. Under such condi-
tions, Maryland has everything to win
and nothing to lose and with Dobson
at the helm there may be a couple of
surprises out at College Park this sea-
son after all. a
