MAXWELL Sport lilltor Kvcnltir rubllo 1Cilsfr IT i CopvrloM, tail), by Public Lcdacr Co Vn TIIESC days of picking champions, two colleges south of tin- Mason and Y Dixon lino apparently have been overlooked. Nevertheless, they are baid y be stronger than any of the eastern elevens and the western teams would he iowllng for mercy after the first quarter. At least, that is tho dope handed font by two experts who have, been boosting Washington and Lee University, qt Lexington, Va., nnd Centre College, of Danville, ICy. 1 i "Centra has the strongest football team I ever have seen and could beat any team in the country," says Myron W. Fuller, the old Yalo man, who is i assistant coach at West Virginia. "Washington and Ic plays better football than any team I have teen this jear," Fays Eddie Hcnnls, the football official, who once btarrcd fqr the University of Pennsylvania. "I'd back them against any of the his elevens." I' Thcro wo have two boosts coming from a pair of uninterested spectators after witnessing the teams in action. Vuller was on the sidelines and saw Centre College wallop West Virginia, and Rennls referecd the game between Vaahlngton nnd Leo and South Carolina. The Generals won that game by tfco score of 20 to 0. The big surprise, however, was sprung by Centre n couple of weeks ngo when West Virginia, conquerors of I'lineeton, were defeated by the fccore of li to 0. This team, which is coached by Chnrley Mornn, the National League umpire, played wonderful football and did not seem to be aware of it. Every thing they tried camo natural to them and tho victory was scored with little difficulty. According to a spectator, Centre looked anjthirig but like n football team jhen it took the field that day. West Virginia trotted on the gridiron first, making an auspicious entry. Headed by Captain Rodgers, the Mountaineers I I dashed through the gate and the crowd gave a loud cheer of welcome. The first nnd second teams ran through a snappy signal drill and there was lots of jpep in the play. It was the same as one sees on any college gridiron in the East, but in this case only one team participated in the practice, i pHE crowd had forgotten all about Centre until the signal drill war over and Rodgers started to punt to the lackficld men. The Ken , tuckians' hench was empty, but a few minutei before the game the players came on the field. i Centre's Lucky ''13" Ao Longer Incog fTTETEItE were no rousing cheers or blare of trumpets, nor did the Centre " collegians trot in with fire in their ojes, their nerves on edge and an apparent desire to give their life's blood if necessary to put over a victory. (Par bo It from that. Instead, they strolled in, nonchalantly, in twos and threes, paid no attention to the crowd, slowly ambled to the bench nnd sat down. There was no signal practice by the first team because the men were not interested. The second team did not take the field because there was no second team. The entire squad numbered thirteen one full eleven and two substitutes. When Itodgers finished hi punting practice one of the Centre players afinffled over to the West Virginia bench. lie was a regular, but did not dress th"e part. His jersey was neatly darned in several spots and his football pants looked ns if they had been through several tough engagements. One leg had been torn and was sewed up with white twine, the cord being criss-crossed like. H baseball. When he discovered the coach lie said in n slow, southern drawl: "Mlstah Coach, could you-all loan us a football to kick aroun' a spell? ffi3on't happen to have one with us and we jus' want to kick n spell." He got the ball and kicked to one man. The others remained on the bench. No center passed it back he just booted it about fifty yards and the catcher punted it back. After half a dozen boots the ball was returned and the game began. I Nobody was excited, even when West Virginia took the bnll down the field and scored a 'touchdown in the first four minutes of piny. Centre wasn't , even surprised and on tho next kick-ofE started on an offensive of its own. McMillan, quarterback, and Red Roberts, the husky fullback, carried the oval down the field and finally went over for a touchdown. "Were those guys happy when the touchdown was made and Walters kicked the goal which put them in the lend?" nbked the eye-witness who spilled this tale. "Not so you could notice it. The players did not rush up and congratulate the man who made tho score nor did they toss their head gears in the air, as is usually the case. The player? just tlopped on their backs to rest up for the next drive and did not get up until the goal had been kicked. Then they resumed work." CENTRE COLLEGE should be proud of her football team. Ann team that can go through a season with poor equipment, face all torts of handicaps and win out in the end is a real "he" eleven. Those are the days of real sport. ' Spotlight for Wash and Lee WASHINGTON AND LEE stepped into the limelight when, on November 8, Georgia Tech was defeated in Atlanta by the score of 3 to 0. This was quite a surprise in the South nnd the papers lauded the victors. One blight ttistake, however, crept into print. It was said that Exendine, the old Car lisle star, was coach of the team. Such is not the case. William C. Itaftery Js head coach and has been with the team since 1911, when he plnyed quarter back. In 1018 be was assistant coach and took entire charge in 1017. ' Kaftery is a very clever tactician in gridiron affairs and was the first oach In the South to say that Georgia- Tech could be beaten. He issued a (nervy statement in 1017, when, after his team had been beaten by the score ' at 63 to 0, ho said : "Tech can be beaten, nnd my team will put it over the next time we meet." Itaftery made good this year. Washington nnd Lee is a typical southern team. Every player comes from below the Mason and Dixon line, and those guys can play football. tBcnnls says that Captain Bethel is one of the grentcst lenders ho ever saw ' on a football field and the team knows more about the forward passing game than the man who invented it. Tho teum bad not been scored upon up to last Suturday before the Georgetown disaster. Randolph -Macon was defeated 21 to 0, Davidson 7 to 0,'orfolk Naval Base 78 to 0, V. P. I. 3 to 0. Georgia Tech .' to 0 and South Carolina 20 to 0. That's a wonderful record. There is some talk of arranging a game between Washington and Leo and Centre College, and the game would create lots of interest. 'THE victor would claim the championship of the South 1 Football Popular in Coal Regions FOOTBALL in the coal regions up-state is better and bigger than ever beture. The sport is very popular and the games aro well attended. The majority of the. players work every day in the mines, practice at night by electric light, julp themselves with football apparel und play on Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays. There nre no training tables, .nor do the men receive the bene fits of high-class coaching. They coach themselves and train themselves. However, they play hard, sincere football and the battles are more exciting than in the colleges. Much has been said about the rough crowds that attend these games. There hss been an impression that the visiting teams have been mobbed and the officials chased out of town if the home team lost. I wish to correct that Impression. Tho spectators at the games are the fairest and squarest I have eren seen in fact, they are better behaved than those at some of the college games. ' Last 'Sunday the Delmnr A. C. nnd the Ited Sox played in Shenandoah fcefore a. crowd estimated at 5000. Tho football field was situated on the top of Locust Mountain nnd the spectators walked two miles up hill to get there. When the game started, they stood behind the sidelines nnd police were not needed to keep them back. There were no ropes around the field, nnd Tvben a large crowd like that maintains perfect order, it speaks well for the character of the sportsmen up there. They want to see fair play and uphold that standard. ' ptDelmsr A. O. and the Red Sox, two locul elevens, plujcd n scoreless . tla!'nm1 fhft frnme 'was strenuous from start to finish. Tn thi finf 1...1 v Bef Box did the better work, but plnyed in hard luck. Fumbled passes ruined chances for a score and five drop kicks failed. Captain Donovan played a great game until he was forced to leave because of injuries, and his absence weakened the team. Bush and Toomey also played well and Yadesky jlitf tome good kicking. j Tu the second half Delmar improved and had the edgo on the Red Sox. Notk, 8. Lucas, B, Lucas, Danowski and Schoppcl were tho stars on the (eak. Both sides were in scoring distance several times, but could not get the, ball over. Once the Red Sox made n long gaiu on a forward pass, but a was was offside and the ball brought back, t- T WAB a clean, hard-fought game, and the teams appeared to be evenly matched.

Cornell nnd Michigan That tho season is about over. Yale's Troubles FROM 1870 through 1000, a period of thirty ytars, Ynlo was tho predom inating football institution of the country. Her system, largely devised by Wnltcr Camp, was held to b tho etamrarfl of both offense and defense. Then the new game came, introducing the forward pass. From that point Yule started down hill, not because she lacked material, but because her coach ing staff in the main refused to modernize her system. Ynlc, ns far as we can recall the details, has never had a forward passing game comparable in any w'ny to the ones used this season by Colgate, Prince ton, Pcnn, West Virginia and many others. rHIS refusal to meet changed conditions with a changed attack has been disastrous. Princeton Advances PUINCETON, for the first time, took over the new game this foil, and beat on older, heavier Yale eleven. Where Yale was once invincible, such smaller institutions as West Point, Colgate, W. nnd J Brown and Boston College hav hooked. her repeatedly. Where Yale once led, for ten years she hasn't even tried to follow. Tbt result is that for the greater part of ten years she has seldom been ranked nmong the first three or four teams in the East alone. Yet we have received any number of letters from Y'nle men desiring to know what we "haro ngainst Yule" for offering such critical comment on her piny. is Jacob, was able to come to close quarters, and in the hnlf clinches the Cleveland cloutcr peppered Joseph good nnd plenty.

Can the I Nittnny Lion twist the Panther's tail? That is the question which is bother- I ing all followers of Pcnn State football today and it will be answered when the two rivals clash on Forbes Field on Thanksgiving Day. Pitt is undoubtedly ( the favorite and is picked by the ma- , jority of the experts to win, hut Penn State students nud alumni have just , heaps of confidence in their team nnd in Hugo Uezdck, the foxy conch. I There arc n number of former stars I on the lllue. nnd White eleven this year, I but one of the features of the games thus far has been the total lack of any one individual standing out far above I the rest. Teamwork is the fundamental principle upon which the 15)19 Penn State eleven is built, and it hns been I evident in every game but the Durt- j mouth contest. In Hob Higgins Pcnn Stnte has tho best end in the game. Higgins possesses the one great quality which charac terizes a truly great football player he can riso to any emergency and over come it. And the greater the odds against him the better he is. No matter what the result of the game I on Thanksgiving Day may be Hugo Hezdek again has made good at Penn ' Stute, and under his leadership students nnd alumni see a wonderful future ahead for the college located in the mountains ' of Center county. i BARRACKS is made with this reinforced Ob' long CablcCord Buttonhole.
