MARINES ARE FAVORITES
TO DEFEAT ARMY IN
BIG CONTEST
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.
Thia is the day before the battle. Tomorrow, at 2 o’clock, a
thrill whistle will sound, sending the two service elevens, the
Quantico Marines and the Third Army Corps, at each other with
the service football championship the prise. It may be all right
for the West Point Military Academy and the Annapolis Naval
Academy to think themselvea deciding this service championsnip,
but the boys actually in the service know better. The Army-Napr
game is a sort of freshman combat compared to that which will be
' staged at the Clark C. Griffith Stadium tomorrow afternoon. The
youngsters over at Annapolis and up on the Hudson are still in
prep school according to the leaders of the teams at Quantico and
Camp Meade. And that’s the kind of football promised for Wash
ington. the real varsity stuff between players of long experience and
taught by the best tutors in the game. f .
The Marines rule a slight fa-’
vorite to defeat the Third Army
Corps tomorrow, just why, none
can vouchsafe a guess. But It is
a fact that. the man in the street
Is banking on the. Leathernecks
to triumph, even though by a small
margin.
The Marines have gone through
a stiff campaign. Their greatest,
claim to fame this year is that
touchdown scored against Michi
gan. tied with Illinois for the
Western Conference championship
Os 1923. That touchdown stands
cut like a sore thumb on the Mich
igan record. It is the only touch
down scored against Fielding H.
. Test’s winning eleven. Two field
goals were checked up against the
Wolverines by other teams, but the
Marines have the proud 'honor of
making the one touchdown of the
year against the Maize and Blue.
Defeat for the Third Army
Corps tomorrow wffl be the first
«BBta>ned by Major Buries’ young
men. They have gone on down
Che . Hne. whipping everybody, in
cluding six college elevens. The
Camp Meade boys expect a vic
tory over the Gyrenes. They
can’t see defeat even a possi
bility.
I 7
The Army eleven has proved it
belf a powerful scoring machine
Uli season. With the lone excep
tion of the Villanova game, played
two dsvs after defeating the At
lantic Fleet team in Baltimore, at
least two touchdowns have been'
•cored *»» everv rentes*. Further
more. the second string players
were given some experience against
Vnianova which had already been
■mothered by the Marines. 40 to
•, down st Quantico.
It is difficult to say whether the
Army Corps or the Marines have
played a harder season. Our own
Impression is that the Gyrenes
have an edge. No Army opponent
gutte compares wljh the Haskell
Indians.
The ytying Cadets of V. If. I.
hopned the Marines in the opening
contest of the season, winning by
• score of 6 to 0 on a muddy field
at * ’’’’♦’’•-♦on. No alibis were of
fered by the Marines. They are a
bit week on alibis, as a matter of
fact, which is not a bad trait.
From then on down to the Michi
gan r*me the Gyrenes were stead
ily victorious, vanquishing Wash
ington College, Georgetown, Gal
laudet. George Washington and
▼Ulanova.
The Marines scored two touch
downs against Georgetown, but
the others college elevens were
smothered under overwhelming
scores. The Marines left no doubt
sub to the result of any of those
games.
The Third Army Corps has
yet to lose , a game this season.
It’s closest call came in the Vir
ginia Tech game when the i
Blacksburg team’s mighty on
ward rush to what might have
been a winning touchdown was
halted by the final whistle. The
army woo, 21 to 17.
I
Dickinson, Washington College.
V. P. 1., Georgetown, Villanova
and West Virginia Wesleyan tried
the Third Corps* skill and found
It too much for them.
And yet there is small differ
ence between these two service
—teams which oppose each other
here tomorrow. The Army Corps
eleven has scored 211 points
against 45 for all opponents. Five
opponents have scored against
Major Buries’ young men.
The Gyrenes playing 5 the same
number of games have scored 184
points against 49 for aU opponents.
The difference either way amounts
to little.
Looking at these two teams
through the Georgetown games,
there is small choice between them.
The Marines scored two touch
downs against a lone field goal.
The Army team scored two touch
downs against one.
Summing it all up, it looks like
a wonderful battle here tomorrow
at the Griffith Stadium with vic
tory perching on the banners of
the team * having the best luck.
Each admits its best players in
good shape. Each admits it has
finished Its training. Each is
willing to let the matter rest on
the lap of the gods. That’s good
enough for us.
Midget Battle Looms.
A great struggle for the midget
basketball championship between
the crack Epiphany and Aloysius
teams Is in'the offing. They were
headliners last year. The Epiphany
youngsters already have challenged
Aloysius.

Heavy Grid Almost Sure, How
ever, for Marine-Army
Clash.
Cool, crisp weather, with a bright
mm—just-the right stuff for foot
ball—ls the promise for tomorrow’s
big championship football game be
tween the Quantico Marines and the
Third Army Corps at the Clark C.
Griffith stadium.
It is probable that the going will
be heavy, following last night’s
heavy rain, but the spectators
won’t have to worry about that
They won’t be .plowing around on
the gridiron.
Tickets continued on sale today
at Spalding’s, 1338 G street, and
will be sold tomorrow at the

There are plenty of seats available
and none need pass the day with

MARINES ARE PULLINC
FOR A DRY GRIDIRON
The Marines are pulling for a
dry field- tomorrow at the Clark
Griffith stadium.
"Not having seen the Army team
play,*’ is the statement from Bill
Roper, Princeton’s head coach, “I
cannot predict. But the Marines
are ready."
Capt. Leroy P. Hunt, manager
of the Marines, said, ’’The Marines
are pulling for a dry field tomor
row.”
“The team is in the pink of con
dition,” said Lieut. Johrtny * Beckett,
who has been coaching the team
all season. "We expect to win.”
"We are ready to show at our
best and may the-better team win,”
said Lieut. Frank Goettge, captain
of the eleven.

FINISHED GOLFER MUST
CONQUER WINDS
By CHARLES ,t CHICK ,t EVANS.
It is easy for almost any one to get long distance with a wind behind
him, and what the ambitious golfer wants to do is to learn to apply
his own strength m such • way that the ball is sent a long distance
without any adventitious aid. No man can ever be considered a fin-
about^im^ 6 18 ° P ace shots with the wind sweeping
It takes a very decided knack to
send a little ball flying into a gale
feeling reasonably sure that it will
fall somewhere near a designated
spot.
The professionals speak of hang
ing a ball up in the wind, and
they do it in such away that it is
blown back and drops near the hole.
What the wind does to a little
golf ball that is sent into it makes
a very interesting study, and get
ting a steady flight into the
wind is. a very hard thing. I
have seen shots that to the un
initiated seemed miraculous on
British seaside courses where a
wind was blowing so that one
could hardly stand, and yet the
tiny ball sailed straight and true
to its destined place.

LOUIS A.DOUGHER
WASHINGTON’S BIG OPPORTUNITY
WASHINGTON is facing a wonderful opportunity. Tomorrow’s
third annual football game for the service championship be
tween the Quantico Marines and the Third Army Corps is
providing it. If 40,000 spectators are on hand to witness the parades,
listen to the martial music and see the all-star gridiron gladiators in
action, this game is likely to become an annual affair for the Capital,
acting as a climax to the football campaign as played in this section.
With Georgetown slipping, Maryland playing most of its home games
at College Park and no other varsity squad occupying the public eye
in the District, it is easy to visualize the service skirmish as the
season’s best football, comparing favorably with those ancient battles
between the Hilltoppers and the Orange and Blue of old Virginia. On
the other hand, if for any reason whatever the sendee folks are led to
think Washington cold to their annual dash, the game will not come
here again.
There are many reasons for be
lieving a big attendance will watch
the game hefe Saturday. The
Chamber of Commerce has been
working hard to excite interest in
the game from a purely civic
standpoint, which has its appeal.
The Marine Corps, from a natural
pride, has been active in whipping
up interest, hoping to obtain
greater support than given the
Third A?my Corps. The soldiers,
in turn, not to be outdone, have
been talking this game for weeks
and weeks. There would be a
large attendance if only these
efforts had been made along the
lines mentioned.
From a strictly football stand
point Washington has every reason
to flock to the Clark Griffith
Stadium. It has been a wretched
football season here, no really high
class game having been staged in
the Capital since the campaign
opened. Tomorrow’s battle—and
it will be a battle—promises
more fireworks than have been
seen here all season.
The Third Army Corps eleven
offers many stars of recent West
Point elevens. The Marines have
a perfect galaxy of former college
and Naval Academy stars in their
squad. The soldiers have been
coached by Major Surles and Lieut.
Breidster, former West Pointers.
The Gyrenes, after a season under
Johnny Beckett, have topped off
their instructions at the hands of
Bill Roper and his assistant from
Princeton University.
Laggards May Lose.
WHILE the ticket sale has
been swift ever since it got
under way, nevertheless
many remain to be sold. The lag-
these courses when the wind does
not blow, the only question is how
much, or how little, and believe me
it Is usually a stinging blast.
A golfer must learn to think of a
windy day as promising very inter
esting golf. Then, if ever, is the
time to show a man’s skill. When
I say that I never practice down
wind I mean I never practice with
a following wind, for there is no
occasion In practice to deceive my
-1 know that with but a
little aid from me the wind can
carry rny ball a long distance, and
what I need is to learn to do that
f °r myself. I do, however, play
with a quartering wind, or with a
wind coming a little from either
side. Practice to keep the ball low.
(Copyright John V*. Dllle Co.)
garde always lose and, rushing in
at the last moment, are prone to
wonder why they failed to land on
the 50-yard line. They should get
busy today.
There is another angle to this
thing, too; that of civic pride. To
morrow there will be many folks
over from Baltimore, each hoping
to see a small attendance so as to
influence the service leaders to
swing the game back to Baltimore
next season.
Washingtonians are always
boasting how much better their
home city is than Baltimore. Per
sonally, we think them right. How
anybody can find boosts for Balti
more is more than we can see
when Washington is the opposi
tion. At the same time, money
counts and if Washington fails to
support this service championship
contest, Baltimore will be very
much in the running for the 1924
conflict.
However, folks here in the
Capital are always slow to prepare
for these big games. They like t?
rush in at the last minute, make
a squabble because the best is not
there for them, take what they
can get and then enjoy everything
to the best of their ability. That’s
probably what will happen tomor
row. There’s a big gang out
there and they’ll very likely see a
bang-up football battle from
whistle to whistle.
Here’s Our Reasons-
WE don’t care much for pro
fessional football. Fre
quently we’ve had to ex
plain why. Well, here’s our best
reason, culled from a Philadelphia
newspaper of last Monday, describ
ing the victory at Minersville, Pa.,
the day previous of Coaldale
against Pottsville. Each team was
composed of former college stars.
“It was the third period that
fists flew thick and furious, and
only the efforts of the State Con
stabulary prevented a riot. Coal
dale had punted down the field to
Pottsville s 43-yard line, Carl Geek
hit the line to run the ball out of
bounds and Blue Bonner rushed in
to stop him.
, “Bonner hit Beck and his inter
ferer, and laid them both low.
From the bench, Yeasted, of Potts
ville argued with Bonner. Blue in
vited the Pottsville player to step
on the field and settle the argu
ment. Yeasted accepted, carrying
with him a solid wallop to Bon
ner’s jaw. Blue went down and
spectators and players soon were a
conglomerate mass on the gridiron.
But the State troopers restored
peace, if not quiet, before any blood
was shed, and the game con
tinued.”
Asplundh, former Swarthmore
star, kicked a field goal in the
final period for the lone score of
the day.
Our idea of football makes no
allowance for the needed presence
of State police troopers.
MICHIGAN LOSES
SEVEN FROM
VARSITY
Kipke, Blott, Uteritz, and
Muirhead Men Hard to
Replace.
ANN ARBOR,* Mich., Nov. 30.
Os the twenty-one men to receive
their varsity M’s at Michigan seven
will be missing from the ranks next
fall. Captain Kipke, halfback; Jack
Blott, center; Irwin Uteritz, quar
terback; Stanley Muirhead, tackle;
Edward Van Derwoort, tackle;
Louis Curran, end, and Leßoy
Neisch, end, will be counted among
those missing when the 'call is
made next September.
With the passing of these men
Michigan loses one of the Taest half
backs, one of the best centers, one
of- the b6»c quarterbacks, and one
of the best tackles she has ever
-had. Kipke, Blott, Uteritz and
Muirhead compose a quartet of foot
ballers that no team, in America
can. match.' Each is supreme In
his own department. The other
three' men, though less spectacular
than the quartet above, have given
their all to Michigan for three years.
They have never been found want
ing and their absence will be sorelj
felt next year. '
Too much cannot be said of Stan
ley Muirhead. In three years he
has never missed a minute of play
in conference competition. He has
started and finished every con
ference game during his career and
has played in only one losing game
in that time. That was his first.
In his last game against Minne
sota, - November 24, Muirhead was
•everywhere. He made three-fotirths
of the tackles under punts, and
was always on the ball. A check
was made during, the game ot
Muirhead’s tackles. No less than
twenty-two times did this stalwart
tackle, bring down his map. He
was a veritable demon on the field.
He could not be stopped. If there
is a greater tackle in the country
than Stanley Muirhead, of Michi
gan, he has not yet been seen.
ANNUAnfIOAN
COMES FROM
COACHES
Next Year’s Team Will Be
Shot by Graduation, Is
Common Cry.
Every year /at this time it Is
customary to point out how all the
big football elevens will be shot to
pieces by the loss of most of their
stars through graduation. Coaches
are gloomy and predict dire things
for next season. Then, in the first
week of the new season. It suddenly
conies to light that there are numer
ous promising candidates on the
new squad. The future is never
so hopeless as football coaches try
to make it.
Yale will lose many players, but
there are many others to take their
places. The outlook at Princetbn
does not seem bright at this time,
but the Tigers will turn up with an
other fighting team; as in the past.
A survey of the situation at Cam
bridge reveals the fact that the
Crimson is jilso somewhat troubled
over the depletion in the ranks of
seasoned performers. There is one
member of this year’s freshman
eleven who may make the varsity
grade if he can accumulate a little
weight between now and next
autumn.
This lad Is Izzy Zarakov, Cam
bridge lad, who possesses much
speed and has possibilities as an
unusual threat back. He can drop
kick, romp through a broken field,
and can pass. Here seems to be
enough talent to attract attention.
Izzy is light, but he is growing fast.

LEAPING GRIDIRON STARS
OPPOSE AT CENTER
By B. O. THOMAS.
The wild and leaping roving center of the Mercury football team,
Bow Meyers, will find the catapulting game a trifle rough next
Sunday when Mercury meets the Mohawks at American League
Park in Washington’s annual sandlot classic. v
It is foresworn tha*. * youth named Moore shall stop as would *
brick wall the flyingtacks of the sandlot champions* most un
usual performer in the midway position...
In a powwow today among football sharps the expertness of
Mercury. and Mohawk backfield stars was a subject secondary to
the hitherto littlqrthought-about scrap likely to result when the two '
crack centers oppose. Their styles are much alike. ’ ‘
Bow Wow Meyerij, by splendid ef-<
fort in the last two seasons, has
earned recognition as the king of
sandlot centers. But In today s
discussion, a well-known football of
ficial who has seen much of the
Mercury and Mohawk teams this
season, called Moore the keenest
center to appear on the sandlots in
yean?. _____ '
Such » compliment to a rival
may have the effect of breedng
new tricks in the domp of Bow
Wow, which is as active as light
ning. One -of. Meyers’ favorites
is to dive over the opposing cen
ter’s back and nail a runner
e’er he starts. *
Ike Dreyfuss was victimized
thusly when he played with lhe
Georgetown A. C. against Mercury,
and Ike was expected to do a lot of
damage in that contest which
didn’t materialize.
He will try again Sunday, but this
time in the role of a Mohawk. Drey
fuss has been working steadily With
the Indians and has mastered sig
nals and fitted himself nicely in
the Hohawk machine.- . >,
Young Moore’s advance has been
unnoticed until lately. He played
two years ago with the Mohawk
Preps, now the Apaches, but drop
ped from the game for a spell. He
Joined the Mohawks this season and
has been playing a whale of a
game. He weighsxabont 155 pounds
and will have a ten-pound ad
vantage on Meyers.
Betting on the big game likely
will be heavy, for hundreds are
supporting both teams Mindly.
There is nothin? doing in the way
of odds, even though Mercury is
conceded a slight edge because of
the superiority of the punting of
Bfefr and Walson over Cox and
Lieb. /
The Mohawks are not up to
snuff in only this one respect. None
of the Indians thus far has shown
anything better than mediocre in
the punting line. Coaches Llcarlone
and Cohill have. been drilling a
couple of kickers all week and the
intensive training may be effective
to the point of fooling those who
count on the Mohawks being woe
fully weak in the toe.
No matter how the battle'ln gen
eral may go, that part of It involv
ing the center of the line ought to
be Interesting.

NAVAIOS, UNDEFEATED, ./ '
RETAIN SANDLOT TITLE
By defeating the Irish eleven,
6 to 0, the Navajos finished the
season without a trimming and
retained their 135-pound sandlot
championship. Two thousand fans
saw the contest at Fifth and L
streets southeast and made the
game a mess at times by crowding
onto the field. Fullback Robey
scored the Navajos* touchdown.
