. SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. P, "C., THUS SPAT. SEPTEMBER 8, 1927. STOUTS/ Washington and Lee Should Have One of Its Best Foot Ball Teams This Season GENERALS HAVE PLENTY OF MATERIAL FOR ELEVEN Powerful Combination Will Be Needed to Cope With Schedule—George Washington, Catholic U. * and Marine Squads Begin Practice. BY H. C. BYRD. WASHINGTON AND LEE plays one of the most dim- cult foot ball schedules of all Southern universities. After its opening contest » with Lynchburg College on September £4, the Generals will encounter almost 1 everything there is around this part of tlie world in the way of strong op- position. West Virginia and Prince- ton are listed, as are Kentucky. Mary- land, Virginia, Virginia Poly and Florida. Duke University is the other school to be met, and if the best in- formation from Durham is anywhere near right, Duke is not going to be a soft doormat for any of its opponents. • Here are the dates of the W. and L. games: , , September 24—Lynchburg at Lex- ington, Ya. October I—West Virginia at Charles- ton. _ October B—Duke at Lexington, 4a. October 15—Princeton at Princeton. .. September 22—Kentucky at Lcxing- j ton, Ky. ~ „ ! October 29—Maryland at (oilege Park. l -. _ November s—Virginia at Lexing- ton. Va. „ „ , , , November 12—Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg. . , November 21—Florida at Jackson*, ?ill#*. , . .Meeting strong .teams, means little to Washington and Lefe, because it has never shunned the most difficult competition it could j find. For years the Generals have been playing hard games almost every Saturday of the gridiron sea- son. And it seems that the Lexing- ton school always is able to turn out a team capable of making a good Showing, no mutter wjiat its opposi- tion is. This year seems to he no different a? far as material is concerned. The squads started practice Monday with about as good prospects as it has had in years. Three good backs were Inst, but others will be available who ©tight to fill their shoes very ac- ceptably. Whitlock, Rauber and Palmer were exceptional players, but it is doubtful if either was as good as Billy. Lott promises to be. Lott was unable to play last season be- cause of a broken ankle, but is on the job now. Ho not only is a bril- liant ball carrier. but a good kicker as well. Had he not been in- jured he was expected to outshine Palmer and Rauber a year ago. The nnlv linemen who graduated was Holt, but as a whole it is thought that this year's line should be much better than the one that held down the first line of defense in 1926. “Horse” Tips, captain of the team, is certain to be the steady, dependa- ble player he has been for the last two seasons. He player fullback' in j bis freshman year and his first Varsity season, but last Fall was used in the line part of the time. He probably will go back behind the forwards. Hughes, a lineman who was not eligible last season, and Wagoner, who was not in school last season, may also be available. l*at Herron, former Pittsburgh player* again will coach the team. Davis, star end of two years ago, is to he in charge of the freshman •quad and Palmer wull help Herron With the varsity."-" ? i m Torn Keav lits s<ryMarine Corps players on j9e fiSEi yesterday at Uni- versity of ‘MSbylaniST 'SVhere the Devil- £ogs will remain for three weeks of preliminary practice. Prominent •tmong the new men who will be on the Marine eleven is Alan Shapley, star back of the Navy the last three seasons. Shapley was the outstanding Navy figure in the Army-Navy con- test in Chicago. Gaulle Grigsby yesterday was elect- ed*to captain the Georgetown team. He takes the place of Jerry Thomp- son, halfback, who is unable to play this season. Grigsby really has not been given the credit he deserves for his play as pivot man on the Blue and Gray. He never has been flashy, but without him the Hilltoppers would have had a mighty big hole to fill and when he finishes it will he quite awhile before a man as good is found. All the; men invited back at Mary- land -for preliminary practice are on hand except Ed Tenney. The 1925 regular qnartenbaeji, who was out last year because of an operation for appendicitis, was given permission to remain away until Friday. Lombard, former Central High tackle, probably will not return to the university. John ! Leatherman. big end in 1926, was | back yesterday and will be in uni- form today. Catholic University and George Washington foot ball candidates, re- porting yesterday for the first time, were to get down to regular drills to- day. The Cardinals got out this morning pt 10 o'clock after a brief session yesterday afternoon, and also were tq practice this afternoon at 5 o’clock. Morning and afternoon ses- sions, starting at 10 o’clock and 3 o'clock, will be in order from now on. George Washington's candidates were to get out this afternoon for the first time after receiving equipment yesterday. The Colonials were to gather at 2:30 o'clock on Georgetown Freshmen Field, through courtesy of Georgetown University and Director of Athletic Lou Little, will be used for morning and after- noon drills. Morning practice will start at 9:30 o’clock and that in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Later George Washington will transfer its training activities to the Tidal Basin Field. Neither C. U. or G. W. will attempt anything strenuous fop several days. Limbering exercises and drills in fun- damentals will occupy the attention of both squads for the time being. Many huskies reported to Coach Jack McAuliffe at Catholic U. and to Coach Maud Crum at George Wash- ington yesterday, and today’s arrivals were expected to swell both squads considerably. Those who arrived at Brookland yesterday included Capt. Ray Foley, quarterback; James Schmidt. Gene Murphv, Harold Ogden, Tom Smythe, Ed Gerth, Bill Harvey, backs; Walter McNamara, Timothy Sullivan.
