Vi||anova in Phi|Iy

On the strength of comeback VIC
tories over Marquette and Holy
Cross, Villanova ruled a slight ia
vorite over Georgetown University
in their meeting this afternoon at
Shibe Park. Philadelphia. The
Hoyas, accompanied by. more than
1000 rooters, left this morning.
The Wildcats opened with a VIC
tory over Kings Point Merchant Ma
rine Academy, then lost to Navy and
Army on successive Saturdays be-
fore hitting their present two-game
winning streak. Georgetown lost to
Wake Forest, 1876, and beat Ford
ham. 81.
The Hoyas' chances may depend
upon Elmer Raba's knee, hurt in
the Wake Forest game. Raba is
slated to play today, but how much
depends on his injury. The Hoyas
were given a big buildup this week
by Villanova's Assistant Coach Jerry
Neri, who classed Georgetown's line
among the best in the East after
scouting it in two games.

put together two sustained drives to
dump the Rose Bowl champions
from the unbeaten ranks, 1910, be-
fore capacity crowd of 10000.
1t was the first defeat for Coach
Frank Thomas team in a regular
season game since Georgia turned
the trick in 1914. It ended 16-
game winning streak. For Coach
Bob Neyland of the Vols it was the
36th straight regular victory,
which started before he went into
the Army in 1910.
Harry Gilmer, the Tides great
passer, put on an exhibition that
had the partisan crowd on edge, but
the Vols-pregame underdogs-stop-
ped the aerial cascades when they
had to. Three times in the last
quarter, Gilmer passed his team
inside the Vols 10, but to no avail.
Substitute Tailback Stars.
Neyland's crew, with Bob Lund.
a substitute tailback in starring
role, drove 46 yards to tally in the
second period and then stopped an
Alabama drive in the third period
at the 80 and drove back 68 yards
for a second touchdown.
Lund scored both touchdowns on
short plunges. the first after he had
accounted for most of the yardage
| and the clncher after Walt Slater.
Tennessee's captain, had engineered
the effort to within inches of the
goal. Lund replaced Slater and
scored in one play.

Draft Boards Will Again Make Call For l9- 29ers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26,-P)-. Those Presidential "Greetings" are back in the mails again.
 Shut down for two months. the draft machinery is chugging back into action.
 Reception Center lines will form again next week. And by the end of September Selective Serv- ice is reasonably confident it will meet the army's quota of 25,000 men in the 1929 age group.
 In June, while the whole fut- ure of the draft was up in the air, only 6,400 men were inducted. There were no teen agers among them. Congress finally compro- missed on that issue by exempt ing Is year olds but specifying those l9 were to be drafted.
 During the July-August holi- when the War Department asked no inductions, Local Boards have been registering and classifying men between 18 and A under instructions from Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, National Director, to limit deferments to individuals in activities indispensable" to the national existence"
 Four new categories have been added to the list of those entitled to most serious consideration" for occupational deferments. They are college and university teach CTS, home construction workers, critical production and transporta- ton workers.
