through a gloomy afternoon and be-

game when things were going badly
the board Of strategy thinks he may
help Maryland give Penn a real fight
this week.
Dr. Vail could pitch the Terps into
the thick of it Saturday. although 1t
is wishful thinking to conjure up
picture of Maryland upsetting the
Quakers. Du Wallis passes against
Hampden-Sydney were accurate but
too light and f1uffy-too easy to in

sharper pegging, firing 'em so hard
the receivers almost need catchers'
mitts to hang on to them. And he's
running hard in scrimmage-hitting
the line with vigor that bellies his ITO
pounds.
High Scoring Game Looms.
With Du Vail to throw and Murphy
to catch it is possible the Terps may
get touchdown or so. If that hap
pans it is likely to develop into
high-scoring game because PENIS

BIRDS OPENING.
Feeney to Receive Medal.


Excelling all players in the Inter-
high Chess Association champion
ship tournament for 1910, Robert
j. Feeney becomes the recipient of
the special golden bronze medal
award which will be presented at
the next meeting of the association.
Feeney also won the 1889 inter-
high title and headed the associa-
ton. Now a graduate, he attends
Strayer's Business College and is
preparing for a career as an &C
countant but his ambition is to
take up the mechanical branch of
aviation. At present Feeney plays
with the Capital City Chess Club,
enjoying the benefit of a Sullivan
Memorial Award membership.
Z. w. Allen recommends P-B7 as
the correct key to problem No. 266.
Right as usual.
Paul McClenon, college matches
this fall will be contested under
special rules and the champion will
receive medal even as the inter-
high champion. Keep your eye on
this column for news.
Edmund Nash, if you carefully
peruse the activities mentioned
herein from Wednesday to Sunday,
then you soon will have a complete
story of all club activity in the

club he felt that he knew the better

gossip inside the inner circles"

Before actual fighting got under
way at College Park and during the
days when Maryland was sparring
around with the Catholic University,
Mount st. Mary's and the freshmen,
it was thought that maybe Mearie
Du Vail wasn't the football player he
was cracked up to be. 1t was limited
darby that Mearle was brittle and
because of this somewhat timid
about mixing in with the others in
a scrimmage.
Well, whatever they thought be-
fore the curtain went up Is changed
now, although in justice to Messrs.
Faber, Heagy and Woods they have
contended all along that Du Vail
would confound his critics when
they least expected it. Their judg-
ment was borne out last Saturday
when Du Vail played a whale OF a
game against Hampden-Sydney, ex-
hibiting the courage of lion.
Spurns Chance to Loaf.
If boy ever had chance to loaf
and take it easy it was last week
when Maryland was upset by the
moderated Tiger outfit, but movies
Of the game show Du Vail hitting
the line, running interference for
his mates, backing up the line and
heaving passes with all the fervor
of a major league rookie. He was

Colonies Are Banking
On Defense 10 Beat
Newark spower
BY the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Oct. Gun
ming for an opening junior world
series victory tonight, the Louis
vile Colonies of the American As
ISOLATION and Newark Bears Of the
international League today readied
their most potent line-ups for the
clash.
Both limbered up with light
workouts at Parkway Field, home
of the Colonies, where the first
three games will be played.
The Colonies will attempt to stem
the crushing power of the Bears
with an alright defense which car
ried them to victory in the league
playof final over Kansas City.
This is Louisvilles sixth such Sc
ries and Newark's fourth. The Col
onels have won the classic twice
in 1921 under Joe Mccarthy and
last year under present manager,
Bill Burwell. Newark Won in 1882,
defeating Minneapolis, and in 1887
against Columbus.
Louisville finished fourth in reg
ular season play, 10 games behind
the leading Kansas City Blues.
Newark finished two and a half
games behind pennant = winning
Rochester and defeated Baltimore
in the final playoff series.

Redskins Face Great
Passing Danger in
Playing SteeIers
Have Been Vulnerable
Against Long losses;
Edwards on Shelf
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Long, lazily floating passes-the
kind that look easy to intercept but
which go for touchdowns when
completed-are expected to be the
Steelers' chief weapons against the
Redskins at Pittsburgh Sunday.
And it is against such aerial
bombs that the Skins are most
vulnerable, for whereas they usu-
ally stop two-thirds of the en-
emy's short passes they always
seem to have difficulty with the
long ones.
Thus the Redskins pass-defense
record, which shows that less than
a third of the opposition's aerials
have been successful against them
and the Steelers' passing average of
only q per cent, may mean little
Sunday For the Indians could be
ruined even though they broke up
four of every five Pittsburgh passes
only to have the fifth completed for
a score.
It was on a 26-yard pass that
the Steelers scored their touchdown
to tie the Giants in their opening
game two weeks ago. Billy Patter-
son, the old Arkansas HEAVIER OBJ
tanned from the Chicago Bears last
winter, has been the Steelers' most
active chucker.
Patterson isn't only a passer
however, for last week he was on
record as the leagues third lead
ing ground gamer behind Tuffy
Leemans and another Pittsburgh
back. Merlyn Condit. Condit. with
Patterson, has given the Steelers q
new offensive.
1t doesn't look as If Capt. Turk
Edwards is going to do much, il
any, playing Sunday. He still wad-
dies with a pronounced limp. Coach
Flaherty is resigned to opening the
game without him and has nomi-
mated Ill Bill Wilkin TO take his
place. IF Willie could make him
self believe that he was an able
reserve for Turk, he'd be tops,
Flaherty has said.
Flaherty has both Ray Hare and
Bob Hoffman, rockies from Gonzaga
and Southern California, punting
to supplement his regular kicking
corps of Sammy Baugh, Jimmy
Johnston. Jim Meade and Dick
Todd. Hare, left-footed kicker as
we'll as southpaw passer, could
be the longest booter on the squad,
Flaherty believes.

Too Many Victories
Robbing Armstrong
OF Real Credit
Zivie, Held Dangerous Foe
Friday, Just Another
Vet Victim to Funs
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Henry Arm
strong, one of the busiest and prob
ably one of the best fighters ever to
rule the welterweight division, seems
to be feeling the unpopularity that
is the lot of champions who win too
often.
Henry is due to defend his welter
title for the 23d time since he won it
from Barney Ross two years ago,
when he fights Fritzie Civic of Pitts
burgh at Madison Square Garden
Friday night. According to the boys
who clutter up the sidewalk in front
of Mike Jacobs Office. FritZe may
be the toughest opponent Armstrong
has faced in a title bout. but they
haven't figured out how Hank can
get full credit if he wins.
The trouble is this. Henry has
fought so often and won so easily on
most occasions that the fans and
some experts are claiming he has
been picking on the washed-up vet
Grams. They point out that he hasn't
met such good boys as Izzy jan
nazzo, Kid Cocoa, Al Nettlow, jim
my Leto and Charley Burley.
Of course some of Armstrong; VIC
tins were veterans, but several, no
tably Pedro MontaneZ, Davey Day
and Ernie Roderick, still were con-
sidered pretty good until Hank got
through with them. Zivic may be
similar case He's the youngest of
five fighting brothers. but he's been
around the rings quite while. He
is q years old, and has been fighting
big-time opponents for about five
years, and it was several seasons
back that he belted Lou Ambers
hard enough TO break his jaw.
So if Fritzie loses this one he may
be listed as another of those vet
Grams that Armstrong didn't fight
until they were on the down grade,
for opinions change rapidly in the
boxing game And if Hank loses
there certainly will be claims that
increasing age and weight have
slowed him down so he's no longer
the fighter he used to be.

Werksman's Loss Hits
American Grinders
Disastrous Blow

There is no occasion for glee to-
day at American University, for
the Eagles have been stripped of
promising performer in Melvin
Werksman, who has quit school to
go to work. Werksman was a quar-
terback upon whom Coach Staff
Cassell was banking heavily.
Cassell ignored yesterdays per-
sistent rain to whip his football
squad into shape, working the
Eagles three hours against plays
expected to be executed by Sus-
quehanna Saturday at Selings-
grove, Pa.
Cassell emphasized passes into the
fiat, noting an apparent Susque-
hanna weakness against an aerial
assault in the Pennsylvania outfits
20-6 triumph over Buffalo last
week.
