Arrow Loses Protest,
Twin PIayoff Games
Scheduled Sunday

A doubleheader playoff for the
l6o-pound and unlimited Metropol-
itan Football League championships
at Griffith Stadium was set for Sun
day following a meeting of a three
man board last night which con-
ceded Southeast A. C. the 160-pound
Eastern Division championship by
upholding Riverside Rollers 1910
victory over Arrow Linen at Hearst
Playground last Sunday.
The board, after two hours of de-
liberation, disregarded Arrows pro-
test automatically awarding the
title to Southeast, which closed its
season with record of six victories
and one defeat against five wins,
loss and a tie for Arrow.
Consequently. Southeast A. C. will
meet Southwest Merchants, Western
Division champion. in the 160-pound
playof game at the ball park Sun
day.
In the Unlimited League feature,
Car Credit, Eastern Division winner,
engages Anacostia Eagles, Western
representative. Both teams were
undefeated while recording six wins
each during regular season, but
played one another to a scoreless
deadlock.

Flying Cloud One Big
Reason Why W. & N.
Succeeds on Grid
BY the Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Nov. IL
They call one of the big reasons for
William and Mary's success on the
gridiron this season "the Flying
Cloud"
He's Jack Cloud, the Indians az
year-old sophomore halfback from
Norfolk, Va, who weighs 200 pounds,
stands 5 feet 10 inches into the air
and formerly starred for Norfolk's S
Maury High School.
A lot of folks wondered last year
when Coach r. N. (Rube) McCray
announced that Cloud-a freshman
then-would be in the starting line
up If perhaps it wasn't a mistake to
depend on flrst-year player to fill
the shoes of one of the key players
in the Tribes single wing attack.
But when the end of the cam
paign came, they had been more
than convinced. Cloud was named

This season the Flyer has con-

his speed and power. has already
scored nine touchdowns, only two
less than his total for the 1916
campaign. McCray has found that
when the Indians need another
yard or two, Cloud is just the young
ster who is best likely to come
through.

I'VE finally won the game, 1910,
although the popular belief is
that that hidden ball play won
for the Indians. I suppose it
makes a better story. There Is
one thing I don't think ever has
been brought out" he said. The
ball was tucked up under
sweater-not a football jersey.
This lad kept his sweater on
when the second half started,
otherwise, I don't think they
could have done it,"
The tall, angular gentleman
secuted the notion that Carlisle
played dirty" football.
Not at tjall," he said. They
played hard and were full of
tricks and very apt at carrying
them out, but they always played
cleanly."

sci for the Intertate Commerce
Commission, was tackle on the

this time it was to 0 with only
five minutes left to play. Yale
was 5-to-1 favorite, but we
gained consistently against them
all afternoon although every time
we got close to the goal line we
were penalized for being offside.
1t was uncanny. Then, in the
last few minutes, one of our boys
fumbled a kick and Yale put over
the winning score"
Football was a rugged business
in those days and black eyes, split
lips, etc, were accepted as the
badge Of merit.
Everything was aimed at get
ting under your opponent and
lifting him up said Knowlton.
IF you got him up he was as
helpless as a turtle on his back.
I remember one season we were
required to wear helmets and the
next they were banned because
they interfered with our vision.
But we've made much progress
since then" he continued, "and
they know so much better how to
take care of the men. We had
wonderful training table, but I
don't know how much good 1t did
us. We would come in off the
field hot and tired and sit down

around town when it comes to
prize fighting matters. Now that
the boys are getting In prelimin-
ary work for the college boxing
season, Heinie has an opportu-
nifty TO recall more of those good
old days.
There are three other boxing
coaches around here-Bert Cour-
age OF American u, Eddie La
Fond at Catholic U. and Marty
Gallagher at Georgetown-and
Heinie recalls having seen all Of
them fight in their amateur
days He also refereed some Of
Gallagher's and La Fond's fights.
"I remember Gallagher when
he came up in the amateurs" re-
calls Heinie. HE was q middle
weight then. He had the same
trouble he had later when he
tried for the top in the heavy
weights-he Just didn't have that
killer instinct. He had every
thing else, all the equipment
punch, good style, could take 1t.
But he was, just q big, good
natured kid. I think II he'd had
that killer instinct he could have
been world champion"
La Fond was a bit different.
Eddie was rough, tough little
kid; he just loved to fight," says
Miller. Funny thing, he always
seemed to be shorter than his op-
ponent. 1t didn't bother him,
though. He'd take on all Of
them and never quit. He was
game. Had a nice overland left,
but the real thing about him was
he'd just give anybody . rough
time all the way.
