TEAMS START
final drive
High Point Will be Reached
In Biwabik- Gilbert Game
Last of Month.
DISTRICT q STANDINGS

As district teams start their drive
down the stretch, with but one month
of basketball between them and the
tournament, the battle for district
leadership viii not reach its high point
until the closing week. At this time,
Feb. a. Biwabik and Gilbert viii meet
for their second and last encounter on
the Biwabik floor.
Until this game, unless some squad
springs an unlooked-for upset, Biwabik
and Gilbert should remain in first and
second place, respectively. The former
faces a four-game schedule and the
latter three games until they renew
hostilities. If they win these games,
which they are slated to do, leadership
in district play viii be at stake.
Should they remain undefeated until
Feb. "a, Biwabik viii have won u and
lost game, and Gilbert viii have eight
wins and defeat. If Gilbert wins, it
will end the season in first place with
a percentage of 900 as compared to .S57
for Biwabik
Virginia, now in third place has three
games yet to play with district rivals.
If the Bluedevils snap out Of their los
ing streak and take all three contests,
they viii end the season in third place
behind Biwabik if Gilbert turns back
the Lazella-coached team. But if BIZ
wabik triumphs, Virginia viii be in sec
ond place with wins and 2 defeats
and Gilbert in third with and 2.
There are lot of ifs IN the way Of
formidable teams that would give their
eyeteeth to score an upset facing the
squads now occupying the first three
places in district competition. But on
paper the season should end in one Of
the two situations given above.
On Biwabiks schedule are Mountain
Iron, Aurora, Eveleth, Ely, and then
Gilbert, in the order named. Gilbert
win play Ely, Eveleth, and International
Falls before meeting Biwabik Vir-
ginia's games include Eveleth, Mountain
Iron and Tower
Aurora is the darkhorse that might
upset the apple cart. Meeting Biwabik,
Feb. 10. it could upset things plenty in
winning that contest.

Cavaliers Unexcited
On Eve Of Contest
With Maryland
Homecoming Grid Game
Expected to Draw
Crowd of $4,000

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. l3-
Virginia's Cavaliers approach their
game with Maryland here tomorrow
almost casually, but promise plenty
of offensive fireworks against a we'll
equipped foe.
1t is the university's home coming
week end and Charlottesville's first
major football attraction of the sea-
son, and the largest crowd at Scott
Stadium since the V. M. I. game of
last year, which ranged around
10000. is expected
Ready for his role of many varia-
tions is Jim Gillette, Virginias best
back of the decade, who has found
near counterpart in little Bill
Dudley, his 158-pound sophomore
mate. ...-..4
Mosby Cardozo, who has scored in
half of the games he has figured in
to any extent, is on the active list
again. and may resume his starting
place in the backfield.
The Cavalier line will be intact,
except for AL Frerotte, who was
injured in the Navy game. His alb
sence places a strain on limited
tackle replacementS, although the
vacancy will be filled capably by
Bucky Morse, Washington boy, who
is one of the few players who can
alternate in both the line and back
field effectively.

Navy Hard Bent Upon
Triumph in Clash
with Dartmouth
Come Tomorrow First
In Series Of Seven
Big MILDLY Tests

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 13.-Determi-
nation rather than confidence will
mark the Navy team as it enters the
Dartmouth game In Baltimore to-
morrow, said Mai. Swede Larson,
head mentor at Annapolis, on the
eve Of the contest with the Hanover
Indians.
Not only will every MILDLY fight to
win from team of such standing as
Dartmouth, but the game marks
the first Of the series of seven major
contests and every Navy man is
anxious to start off with victory.
Navy, also, has a chance to keep
its record 100 per cent victorious
against the Green. Only once before
have the Navy and Dartmouth met,
at Philadelphia in 1929, and on that
occasion the Middies won, 13 to 6.
Three-fourths Of the Navy's start
ing backfield is from the Southwest
SO that it should be marked by high
grade passing. Bob Leonard and Pat
Gray are Texans, Ev Malcolm is
from New Mexico and Doc Wood
from Pennsylvania.
Leonard, a sophomore, is the most
accurate passer on the squad, while
Wood is doing quadruple job-car-
rying, passing, punting and direct
ing. Malcolm is a left-handed
passer, while Gray has done no pass
ing, but is an adept receiver.
Return of Harold Hansen, big left
end, has restored the Navy's 200
pound-plus forward wall. The start
ing line will average 204-57 pounds.
Probable starting Hne-ups:
