Army Camps Have Elevens in the Field fTUIElUd U more foolball this ycai thnn ever before. Despite tho war niut Hie luutlohlpn It worked In college circles, the tilgskln It belnft booted about by moie olovons today tliiui In any season that tins iwssed. Tho sport has more active followers than It bud it year ago and public interest is Betting stronger. Conditions In coIIokos throughout tho country, Kroufiht about by tho war, hac encouraged bundled of students who would mt have taken up football to come out for gridiron practice. Football Htara who hVo left colleges to servo Uncle Sam are playing the gnmo In evcrj cantonment in Die country. Homo camps havo as high as four football tcomi In action. Huhky young rookies who never played football befoie arc playing It this fall In the army camps and on college gridirons. In other ears thec young men did not go In for the pigskin game because they did not lmo tho opportunity. T'nder military regulations hundreds hae turned out for football. Tho soldier Is red blooded and full of lite. Ho loves spoil nnd needs It. And football Is a red-blooded Came. By the time tho season ends football will base won hundreds of devotees who never knew Its thrills before. However, the audiences tills ear do not seem so enthusiastic ns In the past. The wild scenes which usually follow a. glorious victory are missing, and even the students themselves are finding It hard to get worked up over a game. At I'enn the Georgia defeat had something to do with tho dampening of tho spirit, but now that the team Is plulng good football the old enthusiasm Is expected to return THE absence of Yale, Harvard and Prlnceun is kcetil.v felt. In tho past the newspapers plaed these colleges up from the start of the season to the end and kept the public Infoimcd of cery mote. This kept up interest and thus fur no substitutes have been found. Georgia Tech Not so Good, Says Washington and Lee Coach GEORGIA TECH has Jumped to the front In the football world this eur and ulready has been placed In lino for the championship. The crushing detent administered to Pcnn early In the season attracted wide attention, and last Sat urday's victory over Washington and l.co bv tho scbre of 63 to 0 made many of tho experts believe that the fcouthern eleven was good enough to give an team a rub. It was said that a postseason game probably would bo' arranged between Tech and Pitt, but this has not passed tho talkative stage. We. too, believed that Georgia had a Bwell team until a letter was received from 13111 Raftery, head coach of the Washington and I.ee eleven. "Gcorgiu Tech Is not as good as .vou think it is," writes Bill, "and the victory over Penn was scored because Jhe Hed and Blue was not prepared. I'cnn came down without any practice to speak of and showed It. Tech, on the other hand, worked hard for the game and was In wonderful shape. Strapper is ft good halfback, but hardly AU-Amerlcan timber. Joe Guyon, to me, Is their best bet and Is. I believe, good enough to play on any football team In the world. Hf was developed by Glenn Warner at Carlisle, nnd that means he knows foot ball Inside and But. The Indian Is a star of the first masnltuds and his Individual Work helps the team considerably. Titt. West Virginia. Washington and Jeffer son, tho Army and Navy can put It all over Tech right now. although I must confess they lravo the best team In the South. They have a game with Auburn on Thanksgiving Day. nnd it would not'surprlso me if Auburn won. "The reason Georgia is so strong this year is because all of the other col leges have sent their men to the military camps. We lost fourteen letter men and I am proud of It. I am only s,orry that they didn't accept me. Georgia would hve a hard time with Penn now, and if they ever meet Pitt good night: " A GAME between Pitt and Georgia Tech would be n great thing If it were played for the Hed Cross or tobacco fund. However, Warner's men already have scheduled a combat with an army camp to be played the Saturday following Thanksgiving, nnd the chances are that nothing will be done. Penn Charter's Forward Passes Arc Fatal to St. Luke's SCHOOLEOYS and even some of the college plavcrs who' nnd it difficult to find a suitable defense for the forward pass should study their own play a little more carefully. A forward pass ulwajs Is dangerous near the goal line, for Its "'uccessful completion usually results in a score If the ball hits the ground behind the goal line, however, it is a touchback nnd tho defenders of the goal get the ball on the 20-ynrd line for first down. This Is n good thing to remember, but few players know that such a rule is In the book. Instead of batting the ball to the ground, which is the very best way to ruin a forward pass, the men play ing back hit It high In the air or give it a side swipe, which Increases the danger. After a defensive player hits the ball It can be caught by any member of tho other team, while only the man who first touched It can recover the pigskin before It- lilts the ground Yesterday out at Wayne, where St. Luke's played Penn Charter, a play of this sort came up. Pcnn Charter had the ball In mldfleld, third down and about Bine yards to gain, when a forward pass was tried. Captain Sltlcy hurled the ball down the field and one of St. Luke's players leaped Into the air to Inter cept It. The ball landed on top of his fingers, bounded away from him and landed la the arms of a I'enn Charter man, who raced down the field. This gave Mer rltt's men the ball within easy striking distance to the goal line, and on tho next nlfiv till first lnr nnrl miK- srnrn w ih,ivn,l ncrnat Tf .... u i... i. , .- H came which favored Pcnn Charter, and I; uujo of it. The game was haid fought from the start, with St Luke's on the defence most of the time. Penn Charter started ofT with a rush nnd carried the oval ear the goal line, but St. Luke's held and took the ball away. Several times Penn Charter was close to a touchdown, hut each time St. Luke's defense tightened and the ball was lost. putED GILLENDEFt has a good team at St. Luke s this year, but It is very erratic. In the last halt the boys played wonderful football and showed flashes of good form. The awakening was too late, however as Tenn Charter had the game won and there wasn't time enough to slip ( over a score. Dick llerrltt nlso has a good team and should have little aimcuuy in winning tne mieracaaemie cnampionslilp again. Onlu Tivo Important Games in the West Today TpoOTBALL Interest in the Middle West, so far as games M-lieduled for today are concerned, centers in two games the Michlgan-Xebraska contest at Ann Arbor and the unnual Northwestern-Chicago argument, which will be staged at Stags Kleld, Chicago.
