The bare story of the game can be told In two sentences. Georgetown made ten first downs to the Apprentice school's one. 'Georgetown averaged 170 pounds while the Apprentice loaded the scales at 150.

And those two sentences convey the true state of affairs yesterday afternoon on the high school field.

WILL BATTLE Vll PATiinn TO BATTLE GENERALS Two Great Elevens Will Clash at Lexington, on next Sat-urday Last Year Tied. LTCXINOTON, Oct 11 -Next Saturday In Lexington, Ky the Washington and Lee Clenerals meet Kentucky Last year the two teams locked horns for the first time In a hectic 8-8 tie, snd this season- both elevens Wilt fight hard to tip the balnnce.

In that memorable sltuggl last October, the Generals scored In tfee first quarterns a result of brilliant play by Frew, stellar quarterback, who caught two jiasses for a total gain of 60 yards end then plunged over for the first touchdown of the game. The oval seesawed back snd forth throughout the second nnd third periods with no decided advantage for either side. In the final period. however. Kentucky launched a des-1 perate drive, climaxed "by Klrwan's brilllsnt work, whleh resulted In a touchdown In the closing minutes of play.

It was a thrilling game, played hard' and cleanly by both sides. The Wildcats have begun this year most auspiciously, easily subduing Louisville 28 to 9 in their opening battle, and showing excellent results of Coach Murphy's new coaching svs- tnm. A swift moving attack, fiaiy Interference, a' beautiful aerial game, snd an effective defense were evident in the victory and show that the Kcn-tunklans are already playing mld- senson rootuaiu naturnay game should prove most Interesting If for no other reason than to offer opponents who have reached November form In early October, for the Generals, too, have been putting tip a nice game during the early season encounters. This was especlnlly noticeable In the Maryland game when the Blue snd White clearly lout played the Old Liners In every department of the game and romped away with a comparatively easy 19-7 victory. Both Kentucky and Washington and Lee are prominent members of the Southern Conference and tho score Saturday should prove a Ann basis for comparison when the Conference championship team Is recognized.

The Wildcats meet five Con ference opponents during the season while the Generals clash with six. more than any other conference team faces. In addition to W. snd L. Kentucky sranples with Sewanee.

Alabama, V. M. and Tennessee, and besides the non-conference Center eleven. Washington and Lee has Already beaten Maryland, and In addition to Ken tucky, will meet Virginia and V. P.

I. on successive Saturdays after the Lexington clash, North Carolina State and Florida together with the West Virginia team which Is not In the Conference. Coach Ho Hart has been singularly fortunate In the matter of Injuries. for despite the gruelling training season plentifully interspersed with scrimmages, the Generals have escaped with only a few minor Injuries and little substantial damage. With the Wake Forest game now off their minds, the Big Blue team will have no opportunity to rest, but will at once plunge into active preparation for the coming struggle.

The wildest game marks the first of a series of six encounters on foreign gridirons for the Generals. Washington and Lee appears here in Lexington but one more time during the remainder of the season, Citadel of South Carolina coming here on November Sth between the Virginia and West Virginia games. The local student body will see the team In ac tion, however, since Jthe V. P. T.

game in Lynchburg snd the clash with the Cavaliers In Charlottesville will te lnrgely attended by most of tho students, the faculty probably granting a holiday for both games.

(By The Associated Press) EMORY, Va, Oct. 11. By a well directed attack in the fourth quarter which netted two touchdowns during the final few minutes of play, Emory and Henry came from behind to beat the Tusculum eleven here today winning by a 14 to 9 score.

Several times earlier In the game the Wasps threatened to score but lacked the punch for the final drive. The visitors scored first In the opening period when Morgan placed a drop kick through the bars from the 35 yard. line. In the second quarter they counted again. Scooping up a fumble punt, Anderson ran .40 yards to cross the Wasps goal but the try for point after touchdown failed.

In the final period Emory opened an aerial attack and scored when Bally took a 35 yard pass and ran 20 yards to the goal. The Wasps took heart and when they again gained possession of the ball marched down the field, using a varied attack and Weaver went over for the second touchdown which meant victory for his team.

COME FROM BEHIND AND BEAT TOSCULUM Vic Noyes, Young, Tyler and Other Notables Will be Found in Soldier Lineup When Referee's Whistle Blows. Long, long ago, before the Democratic convention was held and before Washington won the world series, Newport News used to com in for her share of the state grldlninio pie. In fact as late as 1020, this city was assured ntarly every fall of one college game anyway. But, for some reason long hid in the musty flits, that period intervening since 1920 has been singularly free of really big college games. This year, however, the situation' has been altered perceptibly.

To make a lung story somiiwhat shorter, Just six days from now will find the eyes of the whole state upon this merry little village nestled closo to the sea, for King College "The Thousand Point College" an! the mighty Third Area Corps team will be left alone for sixty minutes on th high echool field this coming Saturday. And what a meeting it will be! Carnposed cf more stars than ths TVaahlngton club has automobiles, tlm tj'ck of he" whole Third Area Corps will be thrown into acth against the little cl ege frim Kotuh-west Vlrglnlo on Saturday. Noyes, brilliant Nav who use'l to cants the Army cadets to uiderc.i in.nvou prostrations, will te in the Third Area Corps llne-Uii; Young, Maryland star of several years ago, will also be In the line-up. Countless whtf nave commanded spaces on the me tropolltan sport pages will be grouaht here next Saturday to officially open up the Third Area Corn schedule Various posts in the vicinity Fort Eustls, Fort Monroe and Langley Field all have a icpresontatlon on the team. Fort Monroe has three i men, Langley Field 1 and Fort Euh-tls two or throe, it was stated list n'ght.

From end to end, the teim averages 188 pounds. And varlou.1 sport write: who nave seoi the tuant pljy are positive that every varsity man could make marly any Unlvorslly In the country. The Third Area Corj.s faces an ambitious schedule tiilu year, a schedule that includes Iluck-nell, Georgetown and the. Marine Corps team. For the past several years the soldier team has been ranjs ed with the big eollcga elevens all tnroughout the count: y.

Hu'. despite all tnat, they are not looking for any et-up next Saturday And possibly it is better that they are not. For a toara thnt cm score over 1.100 points in two year and has over sixty points to their credit thus far in early October must something-. And King College has done just that little thing. Two yvtvt ago, the little Southwestern school was the highest scoring machine in the United States.

LaBt year they weie again up among the high scorers. Facing a stiffer schedule this year than ever before, they have nevertheless managed already to score close to 300 points. King visit to this city next Saturday will be a memorablo one, for It will be the first appearance of the famous scoring machine in Eastern Virginia. For years lovers of the manly art of football have been anx ious to see the -little "Big Team" In battle array. And this Saturday will be their first chance slnoe the school leaped Into prominence.

Local football followers will be given the op portunity also of comparing King's team with William and Mary before the two teams meet in Richmond later on in the season. All In oil it will be a gala event. Contingents from the various army posts in this section will flock down In hordes to see their "buddies" play. To add to the general excitement, there will be several bands and a couple of authenticated mascots. Seats to hold 2,500 people will be erected this week so that all on the peninsula who want to see the came will bo taken care of.

Anyway, It will be a good battle, and there should be no disappointments as far as seeing slashing, battering football is concerned. Among the stars who will be seen In action with the Third Army Corps team are: Second Lieutenant Robert Young, Thirty-fourth Infantry, Fort Eustls, end on Maryland University and end on the Third Corps team in 1823. Sergeant Riffle, Fort Eustls, a brilliant, ripping back, who played on the first squad of the Third Corps team in i'jza. Sergeant Erdman, Fort Monroe, a brilliant, dashing, hard tackling end, who made an enviable reputation on the Third Corps team In 1923. First Lieutenant Richard (Savle.

graduate of William and Mary, end on the Third Corps team in 1323 and one of the best men in the game to day, Sergeant Knowlton, air service, at Langley Field, first squad man on the Third Corps team In 1323. He will play half back against King college. Second Lieutenant Stone, Fort Monroe, who is considered one of the best men at the g.ime Captain A. H.

He was quarterback on the big Infantry school team In 1922. CITY LEAGUE DIRECTORS TO MEET TUESDAY NIGHT AH members of the City Baseball League board of directors are expected to be present at a meeting on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock In the Y. M. C. A.

the aerial route, but before they could be bunched In quantity enough 'to prove effective, a visiting player would ground the ball and a punt had to be resorted Yesterday's game was spotty. Never slow, the interest of the sidelines, was kept all the way through. And contrib uting more to the general excitement than possibly any other player, was Georgetown's squatty quarter back. Built like a wedge and fast In the bargain, his side-stepping and forward passing was a bright spot tn the whole proceedings. Catching punts, Apprentice ends had singular difficulty tn tackling Mm.

Time after time they plunged head first at the flying legs of the Georgetown player, only to grasp at the thin ozone. Cunningham was another Georgetown battier that de served more titan mere mention. A bullet-like pass-from Coujsinier found Its way Into Cunningham's waiting arms on more than one occasion. He caught the longest pass of th game. a pass that fent thirty yards.

Bayfield's punting and Keith's line plunging were the brignt spots, In the Apprentice ftrnior. On an average, Ray- field kicked for something like forty yards on every attempt. Defensively, Lincoln, Butter and Rust showed to advantage; While Gwaltney, the Ap prentice captain, stopped frequent attempts on the part of the rushing visiting backs to pierce the line.
