BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Wrestling fans are going to be
treated to two main bouts at pro-
moter George Cavanaugh's weekly
wrestling show at the Armory to-
morrow night.
The first will bring together Mil
dred Burke, Womens' World Cham
pion, and Rose Evans, who is noted
for using any means-fair or foul
in order to win. Miss Burke, who
started her wrestling career 10 years
ago, has wrestled total of $50 men
in her weight class and holds the
remarkable record of having beaten
every one of them, taking only an
average time of ten minutes for
each victory.
The second main bout brings to-
gether Ed stranger" White, former
All-American football player from
the University of Alabama, and Milo
Steinborn, a real wrestling veteran
and internationally known as
strong man and weight litter,
In addition to these two feature
matches, Jesse James will meet Abe
Stein in a 45-minute opening bout.
Tickets are on sale at the News
Agency in the Square, at the same
low prices.
The Ludwig Treaders, strengthen
ed by the addition of three new
players will be out to break their
two-game losing streak on Sunday
afternoon, when they meet the Army
War College team, of Washington,
d. c., at the Armory.
The game gets under way at
O'Clock, with a preliminary game at
2 o'clock
In the Rotary Club Bowling
League, the Cogs won the second
Fifth, which was decided on Mon
day night. Foltz came up with high
three-game total of 1888, while Leh-
ner had high single game of 131. Ell
Ellinger although suffering tortures
following the awful licking taken by
his beloved Redskins up at Philadel-
phia on Sunday afternoon, managed
to squeeze into the 800 or better
Glass, with a score of 316, just man
aging to avoid the Crying Towel
Gang
It's always tough for a college
football team to come up to their
last game of the season with clean
slate, only to have that game spoil
their record, but there is no deny
ing the fact that on the days play,
the University of Maryland eleven
clearly outplayed the University of
Virginia last Saturday and fully re-
served their victory. The Terrapins,
under their new coach, improved
with every game and, as I've said in
this column before, are going to be
team to be really reckoned with
in 1916.
The Philadelphia Eagles took
istless Redskins squad to the clean
ers on Sunday afternoon to throw
them into tie with the Washington
eleven for the lead in the Eastern
Division. The result is, that provid-
ing both teams win their two re-
manning games, there will have to
be playoff to decide who will meet
the Cleveland Rams for the Profess
sional football championship
And talking about that game on
Sunday, have you ever noticed how
Harry Wismer, one of the best and
most impartial radio football re-
porters at college games, becomes a
rabid and very much biased Red
skin fan when reporting the profess
sional games. This was particularly
noticeable on Sunday afternoon,
when he not only quarterbacked the
team from his announcer's booth,
but also refereed the game as well.
Of course / recognize that Harry
broadcasts the Redskins game to a
listening audience that is largely pro
Washington, but nevertheless he
should remember that his job is to
call the game, not to critic the plays
and the officials
I hope to see the Army Navy game
on Saturday, providing a spell of
sickness leaves me in time to make
the trip, and that's one game I'm
really looking forward to. still be-
ieve that Navy can win and sure
want to be present when they pull
what will undoubtedly be classed as
the greatest upset of the year.
