MARYLAND, 43; DELAWARE,
10, It's obvious that Coach Jim
Tatum at Maryland is well fixed
for quarterbacks. Sophomore
Joe Tucker, former Central High
player, played about half the
game against Delaware and
showed himself as an adequate
replacement for Vic Turyn, the
No. l signal caller. That's
break for Maryland, as Vic Is
nursing some pulled muscles and
needs all the rest he can get until
that Duke game two weeks from
now.
Tucker mixed his plays we'll
and kept the attack moving. His
passing. both short and long, is
excellent, and he's more than just
a fair ball carrier himself. The
workout he received last Friday
night was just the thing needed
to give his teammates the same
kind of confidence in him they
have in Turyn. The other quar-
terbacks, Freshman Bill Journey
and Freshman Bill Targarona,
did we'll, too, so Coach Tatum can
start worrying about signal cal
lers along about 1851.
This game also showed the Old
Liners are scoring threats every
time they get their hands on the
ball. They had it IA times Friday
night, and here's what they did:
Six times they got touchdowns.

v. M. T., 13; GEORGE WASH
INGTON, z: The first man on the
field after the final gun gave the
Keydets' their triumph over the
Colonials was G. w. Coach Skip
Stanley. who with his players
claimed to the officials that v.
NJ I. End Claude Patton did not
hold the ball long enough for
legal possession on the winning
touchdown pass, seconds from the
end.
Patton and Merle Leisher of
the Colonials grabbed the Lou
Veltri pass as one, but as the
offensive team gets possession on
a simultaneous catch, it was
Patton's ball. Stanley and the
G. w. players said Patton, with
Leisher's help, dropped the ball
at the same instant, however,
and it should have been ruled
an incomplete pass.
Stanley blamed the defeat on
the fact the v. M. I. passer had
too much time to throw and the
fact that his own passing attack
was awful. The Keydets were
bold. however, as they stopped
the clock three times in the last
minute and drew 5-yard penal
ties each time, and also spurned
field goal to try for the winning
pass. G.. WIS Art Kennedy re-
ceived a leg injury that may

Illinois Title Hopes
Facing Test Against

By the Asxocioted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 6-The question
before the Big Nine today appeared
to be: 'Is Illinois really of cham
pionship caliber?"
Coach Ray Eliot's preseason COM
ment that 1--WE have just an average

understatement handed out in the

Completely under wraps, the de-

tarily, at least, dispelled the Hawk

horse and at the same time boosted
Illinois ranking high above the
average" class.
A better line on Eiot's crew,
which many observers say is
stronger than the 1916 outfit which
humiliated U. c. l.. A. in the Rose
Bowl, should be forthcoming Satur-
day when Illinois tangles with Army
in New York's Yankee Stadium. 1t
will be the first meeting between the
two teams since the Illini won, TO,
in 1884.
The Army engagement is one that
Eliot has been pointing for, and what
effect-in the Quise of a letdoWn-it
will have Illinois title bid remains
to be seen. Michigan's encounter
with the Cadets last season seemed
to take lot out of the Wolverines
and critics claim the game cost them
the championship.

nesota, Purdue, then Michigan In
what may well be the title-deciding

Jones, Facing Roache
Tonight, Hoping 10

Herbert Jones and Willie Roache
are the main-event opponents on
tonight's fight card at Turner's

string started after he ran into
Johnny Bratton In his last fight
here. Before that he had taken
eight in a row, six Of them by knock
outs.
Herbie. is a southpaw, which may
give him an advantage over Roache,
unless Willie is having one OF his
good nights. Roache does have an
edge in experience. but the 19-year-
old Jones has been fighting enough
to know his way around ring.
Another District fighter hoping
for a return to winning ways is
Frank Sweeney, meeting Jessie
James, also of Washington, in the
five-round semifinal. Other fives
are Sonny Bum against Flat Top
Cummings, and Ralph Burnley
