17 Charlottesville Coach Will Watch Game for Pointers on Georgetown i THE WASHINGTON TIMES, EIIIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1011. VIRGINIA COACH WILL WATCH GAME Georgetown-St. John's Battle To Be Observed By Charlottesville Instructor Hilltoppers Expect Hard Struggle, But Are Confident. SEEN RACES AT DIRECTORS OF BALL CLUBTOMEETTODAY BUSINESS MAKES DEBUT IN SERIES Stenographers Have Little Hopes Of Scorign Against The Heavy Eleven Of Central High School Block Out Of Game. LAUREL By LOUIS A.

DOUGHEk At tomorrow's football game on the hilltop between Georgetown and St. John's, Virginia will have one of Its coaches present to get a line on the work of Coach Nellsen's athletes. Virginia thinks better of tho Blue and Gray eleven since little St. John's handled the Charlottesville team so roughly last Saturday, and much of the swelled head 'resulting from that terrific struggle against Swarthmoce has subsided. The St.

John's game offers th first real chance of comparing the relative strength of Nell-Ben's team and Yancey's. St. John's has had some coaching from the Middles' tutors, and threw a large sized scare into Virginia last Saturday, losing only by 6 to 0. Virginia found the Saints' defense sturdy and their open play on attack worthy of consideration. Georgetown expects a stiff contest, but hopes to better Virginia's score of a lono touchdown and goal from touchdown.

Practice yesterday on the hilltop was long and strenuous. Both varsity and scrub were driven about the field In -a signal drill, and then lined up for scrimmage. Bryant was out and played fullback on the varsity. Gene Krafts was put in at fullback for a trial with the scrubs. Ho has been filaylng in the line, but Coach Nellsen searching for big, fast men to brace up tho attacking power of the eleven.

Hence his trial. Foley Is Scrub Star. Foley, the Brooklyn High School boy, was the star of the scrub. He is trying for quarterback, and looks like a sure varslf, 'man before he leaves college. In die scrimmage yesterday he was vf Sas a cricket, and proved puzzling 'to the varsity ends and tackles when he shot in their direction with the ball.

Petritz, who -lias been making a hard fight for a place in the middle of the line, suffered a fractured nose and had to quit the practice. He is expected to be In the game again before the Army contest, though. Jack Hegarty, the varsity right end, was seen again in togs, his injured knee having improved somewhat. However, he is not yet in shape for hard work, and Bargen. is expected to start tomorrow's game on the right wing.

Reserved seats will go with the admission tickets tomorrow. Manager Walsh has decided that the game does not rank high enough to warrant a i higher charge that the regular 50 cents. The whistle will blow at 3:30 clock, enabling all spectators to arrive home in time for a hot supper. Are Advancing Slowly. Thebig elevens of' the Eeaot are ad vancing slowly this season.

Yale looked very good until last Saturday. Now Harvard and West Point alone have their goal lines uncrossed by an opponent. Next aSturday night the Soldloro may stand alone with this claim, for Crown should at least score on the Crimson. Not one of the big teams can be classed with its predecessor of 1910. Penn and Princeton have done the poorest work.

This has been because neither squad contains as good material as reported lost season. The loss of Rains-dell and Cozens alone accounts for much of the Quakers' weakness. Harvard has a wealth of good material, but the coaching- is not up lo the Crimson standard of other years. Haughtcn Is still at the head of affairs, but his assistants do not class with those of bygone days at Cambridge. Yale Has Green Bunch.

Yale's squad is green, very green for a Yale bunch. They generally have a lot of veterans on Yale Field every year and need to find only two or thro men to round out an eleven well coached in the Ell style of play. This year Arthur Howe, Scully and Bomelsler are the only men of class on the field. All three have been suffering from injuries ever since the season began. Tho leturn of Eddie Hart to the Princeton squad has put new life Into the eleven, out there Is a vast amount of work ahead, If the Orange and Black expects to triumph oer the Ell this year at New Haven.

Tomorrow Brown goes to Cambildge, confident of Its ability to score ngalnst the Crimson. Indeed, many followers of football everywhere believe thU to bo Brown's chance of defeating Harvard, something never yet done by an eleven from Providence. Brown Is expected to use the forward pass and on-side kick frequently. Enrackllng attempting a field goal whenever within striking distance. This style of play may be cast aside, however, by Coach Robinson, for 3urely the Harvard eleven must be trained to meet this kind of game.

Erown has many good line-plugging plays and the men tr. succeed with them. Brown's rushing lust year against the Crimson wnn the finest ever seen by the writer, not even excepting Coy's wonderful work against the Tigers in that memorable xajno in the rain when tho Ell fullback won tho victory practically alone. Penn Meets SUte. Penn bumps Into the carefully prepared State eleven tomorrow, and there Is no telling what will happen.

Often has the State team marched out upon Franklin Field confident of winning, only to be humbled by large scores. This year seems a poor one for the Quakers, though, and correspondingly good for the Staters. Perhaps the Bed and Blue Is to meet defeat again. Whlla-not attracting quite as much attention as in other years, Michigan should figure prominently In the results tending to show relative football strength of EaBt and West, and even South. Vanderbllt plays the Wolverines tomorrow at Ann Arbor.

On November 11 the Cornell team, not very promising right now, will entertain Michigan on Percy Field, and the big Penn-Mlchlgan game is scheduled for November 18, at Ann Arbor. In the last ten yearB of football at Michigan the Wolverines have played ninety games. They have won seventy-nine, tied five, and lost six. They have scored 3,375 points against 203 for their opponents, making a record of which they may well be proud. Just Gridiron Chat.

Reynolds, Harvard's running halfback. Is baldheaded. Sprackllng's punts against Penn averaged forty-five yards. Springer Brooks has returned to Yale from tho West with several new plays. Joe Duff, who looks like a find at Princeton, is a discovery of "Big Bill" Edwards.

Ralph Davis, '04, should bolster up those Tiger ends, for he himself was good enough for many all-star teams fi 1903. Victory, substitute halfback at Annapolis, should be a good man to have in a game, if his name means anything. Crane, the former Lafayette star, is one of tho strongest men in the freshman eleven at Penn. "Buck" Wharton, the old Penn star nairDacK, is playing with the scrub on Franklin lFeld these days. Light Work At Lehigh.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Oct. 27. The hard scrimmage given Lehigh Wednesday proved a little too much for the men, Judging from their listless work yesterday on the eve of the day of their KOlnir to West Point. The men badly need the practice of another scrimmage, but rather than iaKe cnaces on tne men getting injured, only signal work was encased In. The men who have been a little under the weather Bailey, Dayton, and Wylle were an oui loaay, maxing an intact varsity that will be sent to West Point with the exception that Green by virtue of his better showing may supplant Goyne at right end.

Price ran the varsity through its paces luuay, wiuio aevoiea mucll time to placement work. It is quite probable that tho work today will be very light again. Just enough to keeD the men limbered up. In order that the men Mould not rorget their tackling Instructions, Coach Relter, as the last event of the day, sent each man several times against the dummy. W.

M. THIS AFTERNOON Track Fastest Since Meeting Opened, And Good Sport Is Promised. LAUIIBU Oct. races, each with a biff field of well-matched entries, uro on the card at Laurel this afternoon, Tho track la now In excellent condition and one rather bothersome factor can be eliminated from the calculations of the pale students of the dope. Another cheerful feature for the speculator Ilea in the fact that if he can only land on the winner, he will ret something fpr his money.

The opening- event of the afternoon brings out a big field of rather cheap maiden two-year-olds. Eaton and Olft look as good as anything here. Dipper may show something. A bunch of very ordinary threo-year-old maidens will parade In tho second race. Brandy may be a good thing here.

Sam Rank and Lady Rosalie figure as the contenders. The third race is very open. Hannah Louise and Hallack should go well here, but Pennyroyal may bo the sleeper. Roebuck should take the fourth event, with lima and Joe Kenyon dangerous. Romp and Seneca II look as good as anything among the cheap lot carded for the fifth race.

Abrasion is the speediest in the sixth race, and if he can stick it out should win. Lord Elam may get the place. Maromara and Ed Keck will go well in the last race, but will meet with strong contention. Yesterday again the favorites had a rocky road to travel, and not a single first choice mat tho Judge's eyes during the whole afternoon. The winners, however, were well played, and the layers did not profit as much as they usually do when the favorites are downed.

Yeager May Not Be In Virginia's Line-up CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. 27- The following was given out by Coach Yancey here this morning as a probable llr.e-up for tomorrow's game on Lam beth Flold with Virginia Military Insti tute: Wilson, right end; Woolfolk, right tackle; Carter, right guard; Wood, center; Jett, left guard; Barron or Davidson, left tackle; Wellford, left end; Gooch or Todd, quarterback; Goodhue, fullback; Yeager, left halfback; Walter, right halfback. Yeager, the former Hampden-Sydney player, was forced to retire from scrim-mace because of an injury to his le yesterday, and unless he is fully recovered, will be allowed to start In ttimmrvnnr'm cram T. I. I At, .11.9 colli, it is probable that Farrow will bo used at half back unless Coach Yancey decides 10 give uoocn anouier cnance at quar ter In which ovent Todd would be play' ed in the position.

TO NAME MANAG ER Clarke Griffith Is Leading For Position As Director Of The Nationals. By "SENATOR." The directors of the Washington ball dub will meot late this afternoon, when some decision is likely to be reached an to who will be manager next season. While none of the men who are on the board are willing to discuss the matter it is understood that Clark Griffith is far In the lead in tha competition for the place, and it is largely a matter of terms aa to whether ho will come here. Griffith went back to Philadelphia yesterday to take in the final game of the world's series, but he has been constantly In communication with the directing powers here, and they all know on what proposition ho is willing to come. On next Wednesday will be opened the sale of additional shares of stock in the ball club, and Judging by expressions heard around there will be no trouble In disposing of the 10,000 shares which will be placid on tho market Yale Rests Today.

NEW HAVEN. Oct. 2T. Yale yesterday closed the fiercest week's practice since the season opened. The eleven rest today to bring back the battered players into shape for the Colgate game Saturday, but Yale will send many subs into the play, as the team is worn down and pounded with minor bruises more generally than bny Yale eleven In recent years.

H. C. Jones Derrick F. Hamilton Business High School makes its debut In the championship games for high school gridiron superiority today with Central's husky eleven as opponents. The captain and coach of the Orange and Blue squad hold little hope of getting away with the long end of today's score, as the Blue and White eleven outweighs the Stenographers by about fifteen pounds per man.

Taking the men position for position. In many cases the Central player outweighs his opponent by twenty-five pounds. Coach Peet will not put his squad on the field today in the condition he hoped to, as two of hln most dependable men will not be able to play. Black has sustained injuries at the last moment which will not allow him to get Into today's battle. Another of the Rhode Island Avenue School's veterans that will bo badly missed is Harry Wilson, who for the most part has been counted on as the mainstay of the team.

With Wilson and Black out of the game, Business has little chance of getting Into Central's territory for even a single touchdown. It waB stated at the Street School today that Fritz Reuter will not be seen In the backfield. The fast halfback is not In any too good physical condition and as today's game is not one of the most important, Reuter will be saved for the games in which Central's most formidable foes figure. Much Interest is centered around the contest which Is scheduled for next Tuesday between Technical and Western. The scare that the latter eleven threw Into high school gridiron followers by hold Central to six points in the first championship game threw an unexpected light on the football situation and as Technical is considered next best team to Central, tho score in Tuesday's game will be Indicative of a possible tjtle winner.

Many Navy Players On Injured List ANNAPOLIS, Oct. that the Naval Academy team was brought to a higher pitch than was intended before tho Princeton game last Saturday, the coaches have worked the team every day this week and will continue along the same course for some weeks to come. While Western Reserve Is likely to give the midshipmen a fairly hard game on Saturday it would be surprising if the midshipmen did not win handily after their fine work against Princeton. Dalton and Brown both have twisted kneeB. while Gilchrist and Hamilton, tho reliable ends, are badly bruised and have not been in the practice regularly this week.

Of the leading substitutes, Davis, tackle, has a bad leg, and Over-each, a promising end, has tonsolltls. Harvard Takes Game With Brown Seriously CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 27. More evidence that Harvard is taking its coming game with Brown seriously was shown yesterday. Head Coach Houghton dispensed with his scrub team and for an hour lined tho regulars against the subs for a scrimmage.

There was no scoring, but the players were kept on the Jump, and the regulars, besides carefully working out their own attack, were called on to stop every open line lunge possible. Capt. Bob Fisher was in his place, and is all right. Ho did not have to favor his leg, and there is no longer any apprehension regarding his being able to play tomorrow. Darkness Holds Up West Point Practice WEST POINT, N.

Oct. prevented more than a ten-minute scrimmage yesterday, and neither scored. After the first team had 'carried the ball for forty yards with end runs, by McDonald and Browne, alternated by Benedict's line plunging, the scrubs broke through and Moved McDonald's punt and secured the ball.
