Western - Must Win From Central Tomorrow to Stay in Race for High School Gridiron Title
WESTERN TO PLAY
? CENTRA ELEVEN
One of Two Remaining Big
Games in School Series
I Scheduled Tomorrow.
BY II. C. HYHI).
Some of the best scholastic foot ball
of the year and one of the hardest
fought games is likely to take place
tomorrow when Central and Western
meet in the former's stadium. This
will be the second of the games be
tween the three strongest elevens in
> the school series, the other having re-,
Milted in a tie between Western and
Tech. Both teams aj"*' said to b>> in
good condition and each is confident
of gaining the slight edge which
usually means victory. I
? 'entral followers believe their
team will win on the wide sweeping ;
runs from kick formation, which no'
team has been?able to stop this sea-,
i*on. After having been outclassed
In the first half by the Maryland
Slat.* freshmen last Wednesday, the
llluc anil White in the second half
hud things all its own way because it
ran roughshod over the college year
lings on end runs with the man carry
ing l ? ,1 . -ticking (>i s'tion.
If '"entral wins, the game between
and Tech should decide the high ,
school championship. Ii Western is!
the victor, Tech will stand a good ;
chance to carry off the title in the 1
final game with Central November 21. ]
a Week from next Friday.
Just as good foot ball is likelv to be
seen tomorrow, though, as will be j
l?ut up during the local scholastic sea- !
son. Western and Centra! are well I
coached and are made up of better '
material than the ordinary high school
eleven. WAs ern has one of the best
quarterbacks in the series in years,
while Central also is better directed
than usual. Talk with the coach of
either eleven and he will tell you that
in all probability his team will lose,
but the fact remains that there is not
likely to be much difference in the
.?aliber of the play and that each team
* is almost certain to put up a sterling
4 exhibit.on.
Just a word about *a phase of .
Georgetown's victory over the Navy \
which deserves more than passing ;
mention. It was the kind of game put
up by the Blue and Gray. In years
gone by Georgetown has not had the
best reputation in the world for clean
play, but at Annapolis last week there
could be only commendation for the
attitude of the Blue and Gray players.
No more gentlemanly appearing ag
gregation ever took the gridiron uti
*er any colors than those who com
peted under Georgetown's banner.
Even on two occasions when Navy
players forgot themselves, roughed |
up two Georgetown men and "drew
hurtful penalties. Georgetown men
did not forget themselves sufficiently
to attempt to retaliate and showed a |
tself-control which was admirable. A i
reason or two of such games as !
Georgetown put up against the Navy
will eradicate from all minds the
niemorv of the incidents which have
lcept Georgetown off the schedule of
two or three schools with which it
formerly enjoyed pleasant relation
ships.
It would be difficult to pick a better
captain for a fool ball team than John J
McQuade. who leads the Georgetown
eleven. Last week against the Navy
"J lie was taking advantage of every |
opportunity, demanding measurements .
for distandks whenever a first down
seemed questionable; he was encour
aging his men at all times, even when
they were battereO back unttl only
a desperately stubborn defense in the \
last few yards stood between them
and defeat, and when the test came
he was strong enough as an individ
ual player to provide the power and
cleverness which carried the ball to
a position from which Maloney scored
the points which were sufficient to
(win. It has been a long time since
Georgetown has had a captain the ?
caliber of McQuade. and he forms al- .
most an ideal to which future cap- |
tains may aspire.
Maryland State did more than was
expected against St. John's, though
many people in Annapolis seemed to
have an id??i before the game that
the Cadets had a fair chance to win.
True it was that St. John's had not
been defeated and had won practically
all its games by big scores, but it
had been meeting weak elevens. State
liad been accustomed through five
grueling games to play harder and
more slashing foot ball than St.
John's had been; self-preservation
had demanded that kind of play of
State, and the difference In the de
velopment of the two teams showed
in the condition of the players. St.
John's had not developed the stamina
to absorb the impact of hard bodily
contacts which had been developed
by the College Park eleven. St. John's
bad a pair of fine backs, but they
Jkvere so well covered that they could
Accomplish little.
Dartmouth has but one more con
test between it and the splendid
chance to be awarded the eastern in
tercollegiate foot ball title. It meets >
Brown in Boston on Saturday, and j
should win, even without the brilliant '
Kobertson.
It was "tough luck" for Pennsyl- i
vania to lose to Dartmouth by falling I
to ki-k two of thiee goals from,'
touchdown, but there are many games '
in which failure to boot the goals j
after the touchdown is the price of
defeat. For instance, the Washington
. mid Jefferson eleven went down be
fore Pittsburgh because it did not
register the one point after its lone
touchdown and Pitt dhl.
Here is a postcard from "Just a
Fan'' this morning:
"In figuring dope, how about Cen
tre College, unknown on the sched
ules of midwestern teams until it
got in the headlines by beating one
of the poorest of conference teams
< Indiana) by a small score early this
year? Does its defeat of West Vir
ginia prove weakness on the part of
the other teams which these schools
have met or something?"
In answer to this, it might be said
that from where we sit it seems very ,
much as if Centre College has one j
whale of foot ball team.
Yale continued to play accurate .
foot ball in defeating Brown. 14 to 0. j
The I'ark Blue did not allow the j
^Providence e!o\en to get wit! in its
'?T,-ya.r'1 line, ami brilliant running
>,y Kempton and line line plunging by {
j trade 11 were the main factors in the i
Bulldog's victoiy i
Washington and hce's defeat of
Georgia Tech was the big surprise
of the games played in the south.
The Lexington eleven was not thought
to be strong enough to give the
Atlanta aggregation anything more
than a close game. The decision won
by Washington and Dee indicates J
that a fine game is in prospect when'
the Generals appear here a week from \
next Saturday against Georgetown, j
Unless Georgetown loses this week
to Georgia Tech. the game November
may be the means of deciding the
^southern as well as the south Atlantic
championship.
Fither the University of Georgia is
weak or the University of Virginia
took a great brace during the week
prior to meeting the Athens eleven.
\ tie game with the Georgians proba
bly was better than Virginia expect
ed and it deserves credit for making
such a showing in the face of odds.

Many Questions Vital to Welfare
of Base Ball Circuits to
i
Be Considered.
J
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., November 10. i
?The immediate future of the minor
base ball leagues of the country in their ;
relations to the major leagues and to/
each other will be considered at the an
nual meeting: of the National Associa
tion of Base Ball Leagues which be
gins here tomorrow. Sixteen m:-ior
leagues will be represented.
The association will decide whether ]
the national agreement with the major !
leagues, which was abrogated a year j
ago, shall be resumed. A proposal that j
the former practice of allowing major
leagues to draft players from the '
minors be restored will be opposed
warmly, several delegates have an- j
nounced.
The question of redisricting the
entire minor league territory of the
country to effect changes in league
circuits, ajid a suggestion from smaller
leagues that leagues below Class AA
be allowed equal voting power with
the higher classified leagues, also will
be acted upon.
other subjects to come before the
meeting will include a request of the
\irginia League for a change of
classification, removal of association
headquarters from Auburn. N V t?
Chicago and the selection of a new
set of olficers.

Give Dinner.
I War Department tennis players
w*10 figured in the winning of the
District championship celebrated
their season's success with a dinner
at the Army and Navy Club Wednes
day evening". Eighteen members of
the team wore present.
War's team scored three distinct
succ sses during: the 1919 campaign.
First it won the Departmental League
title without the loss of a single
match, dropping only two sets. Then
it defeated in turn Euclid, Suburban
League winner, and Chevy Chase,
champion of the Washington Tennis
Association. to gain the District
championship. War's only setback
was at the hands of the Maryland
Athletic Club of Baltimore in play
for intercity honors.
Louis I. Doyle, president of the
Departmental League, gave a historic
sketch of competitive tennis in Wash
ington and later presented silver lov
ing cups on behalf of the circuit to
?j. A. i'urinton and K. O. Leech, ad
judged the leading individual per
formers of tin- War team. Brig. Gen.
Walter A. Bethel, who played with
the War team prior to going to
France to serve with the A. -E. F..
was a guest at the dinner and joined
in the discussion of plans for the'pro
motion of tennis in the circuit.
Flayers on the War team and the
number of championship matches in
which they took part in 1919 are as
follows:
J. A. Purinton. 12; Graham Edgar.

partment tennis organization.

According to word from Sydney, the
British tennis authorities have asked
the Australians to postpone the chal
lenge round for the Davis cup from
late in December to January. It is ex
plained by the Britons, who desire to
get in a month's practice on foreign
soil, that owing to transportation dif
ficulties it would be impossible for
them to reach Australia before the
end of this month or early in De
cember.
While the Australians appear will
ing to accommodate the British play
ers. they declare that December is
the logical month for the competition.
In January the heat is likely to be so
intense as to make high-class tennis
improbable. As the Australians, nat
urally. would not mind the heat as
much as the visitors, they are not
"urging the December date for any
othi-r than sincere re::sons.
From our point of. view it doesn't
look as if it is going to make any
difference as to how much practice
ilif Eritons iret on the Australian
cotrts. With Patterson. Wilding. I.y
cett. Thomas and Jones. Australia
appears to have a wide margin on the
British team of veteran players. Brit
ain will be lucky to win one of thi
live matches. Incidentally, the Austra
lian sporting writers' only fear is
that the home team may be too over
confident and not spend the proper
time in preparation.
