Dixie Boy Is Yale Star
On the first three plays, Hops
lost 10 ytttd*. On the fourth down,
Detroit broke through and blocked
the punt, which, howftfer, wka re
gained by the visitors .This gave
them a I'rst down. Practically the
same thing waa repeated twice
.mire, two additional kicks being
hiockcd with Hope recovering c;»ch
time for first down. The fourth at
to punt Was successful but
by this time the Hope backs had
i thrown on 12 occasions for
losses totaling 40 yards.
Thus had Hope not. gained
inch, had made three |'r«t downs
without a single penalty but had
lost 40 yards In so doing. It’s one
for the album.

Louisiana has contributed one oh the brightest rpot s to the Yale
football arrangement this year in the person of young Mr. Richcaon,

fl^TROIT.—What Is believed I Immediately after the kickoff,
■^Taa an unprecedented Incident Hope recovered' the hall on a fum-
in football annals cropped out in a
reeffpt game hero between the De
troit, city and Hope (Mich.) college
hi the first period of the fracas.
thaVHopo aggregation had the ball
for M6 consecutive downs v«!thout
ginning an inch, and without either
of -fho elevens receiving a single
penalty.-
Me on the Detroit 25-yaid stripe.
The visitors then had the leather
for 16 straight downs, makfng
three first-downs, and-yet on the
sixteenth attempt, when the Hope
punter /fell back to kick, ho stood
on his own 2o-yard line, 40 yards
back of the place where the 'ball
had originally been recovered.
Here’s how It happened:
MARK ANTHONY*
Thurston LaFayette Anthony,
known far and wide as ‘‘Mark’’
Anthony, put the village of High
Shoals on the football map. Mark
is so good natured that they tell
an amusing story about him and
football at Georgia.
He came to Georgia fresh from
the trenches where he had fought
with the 82nd-Division and where
ho made an enviable athletic rec-
• ord. He had been out in uniform
j about ten days and the grounds
j keeper was putting up the goal
posts os the squad trotted on the
' field, it being a few days before
J the first game of the season# and
one of Mark’s friends now de
clares that he eased ov£r towards
the coach and. inquired, "Coach,
what are those things they are
putting up down there?”
But Mark soon learned the rudi
ments of football and is playing
his fourth and last year at Geor
gia. He is a giant, weighing 210
pounds of bone and muscle.
He is the son of Mrs. J. W. An
thony, of High Shoals, and while
a student at thc~ Christian College,
at Auburn, Georgia, back in 1917,
volunteered his services in the
war, was assigned to the 82nd
Division and fought with the
32f»th Artillery. After the Armis
tice, when the A. E. F. turned the
athletics, he won Pentathalon event
of the division and came back to
America with the diatinctoin of
being one of the fastest men In
the A. E. F.
Last year he did not play in
many games due to injuries, but
he is filling a regular berth at
tackle this year whero he is a
terror to all opponents. He is a
sheep-
senior and is taking journalism,
but says that lie* may go in for
coaching after he gest his
skin in June.
He lives in the quarters of'Hhe
“G” cldb, of which he is a mem
ber. He also is president of the
Square and Compass'* club, the
Masonic organization of the cam
pus. member of the Gridiron club
and other honorary organisation-
"ROOSE” DAY
Theodore Roosevelt Day, better
known as "Rooie,” is pi brother of
the fdfbous "Bum” Day. All-Am
erican center and star player of
both Georgai Tech and Georgia.
And like his big brother he also
days center. He has another
rother, "Milt,” who is. a back-
field man, but injuries have laid
him off the team. All three of the
Day brothers were pt Georgia two
years together and were spoken of
as the "Week-end” brothers.
Day hails from Douglas, and
prepped at the Eleventh District
A. & M. School, coming to Georgi:
with hia brother, where "Bum 1
was already, ‘‘Pus’’ Welchel, can-
tain of the team last year, and
Pus” Newton, all from the same
place and tipping the scales 1,200
pounds together. He is tho son
of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Day and
when he finishes his studies is
planning to go back to South
Georgia and become an expert
agriculturalist. He is taking B. S.
Agriculture and is an expert at
judging vile stock and other
branches of the course he has
elected.
This is Day’s second year on the
team and he says his ambition is
to be such a good player that he
will cease to be known aa "Bum’s
brother” but as "Roose,” center on
the Georgia varsity team.
“Roose” weighs 186 pounds, is
22 years old and lives in the dor
mitory and every student in col
lege knows him. He is very sel
dom seen out in town on the
streets, keeping close to his studies
at night, the football field in the
afternoons and on the Ag hill du
ring the day.

Vile baa nothing on tbe West

DOPE FAVOR8
WEST VIRGINIA
In only one game so far ttaj,
season has West Virginia met a
worthy foe. In the game with
Penn State tbe beat West Virginia
canid get was a 12 to 12 tie, a
couple of costly rumbles playing
havoc with their hopes of victory.
Since Penn State beat the Navy
21 to 2, It la an easy matter to get
a Yne of the caUber or Weet Vir
ginia this year.
The dope doesn't always ran true
to form on the gridiron, but the
fdUowlag figures make West Vir
ginia a’strong favorite over Wash
ington and Jefferson and point to
nother undefeated year. Lafeyatte
held W. A J. to a S to S Ve.
gera played Lafayette to a draw
decision, 8 to S. Weet Virginia, on
the other hand, overwhelmed Rut
gers, 27 to 7.
'Much of the success of West
Virginia, coached by "Pat’ Spears,
forn)er Dartmouth star, centers In
his veteran backfleid. In Gus Ek-
herg, Nick Nardaccl and Jack' 811
mon, Spears hat three atari backs,
well drilled In bis style of play.
At end Prod Graham haa also play
ed a leading role In practically
every game.
CRACK
BACKFIELO
Ably supported by a eirutig liue,
West Virginia', crack backBeld
has played havoc with tbe oppo
sition. Spears has a varied style of
attack, a backfleid that can hit tbe
line, throw puses and skirt tbe
and. Running many of hfs plays
from a pass formation, ho la en
abled to keep the opposition In tho
air.
Lut year West Virginia was

ed to seed a team west West Vir
