Not only will Georgetown be UP against
it's hardest proposition of the foot ball
season this week, when it meets the Car
isle Indians, but also its greatest rival,
Virginia, will have its first real test of
the season when it meets the eleven
from Swarthmore. Virginia will have al
most as great task on its hands as will
Georgetown.
Virginia, like Georgetown, so. far this
fall has met no team capable of giving 1t
a real struggle, and has only had two or
three first downs made against IT. That
Swarthmore will not prove SO easy is Ger
tain, when it is considered that Lafayette
was able to beat the Quakers by only
eight points last Saturday. When the
Saturday it will more than likely be out
weighed, man for man, by at least ten
pounds or more. Just what the fast light
backs developed by Virginia will be able
to do against the Swarthmore eleven is
a question. The fact that 1t will be go
ing against good team for the first time
will work against its probable success.
but if there is one thing at Virginia 1t is
that intangible something called spirit
consequently, no matter what the odds
against the Orange and Blue are, 1T never
knows when to acknowledge defeat. No
team when 1T meets Virginia wins with
out a struggle, and no team ever got
away with an aggregation wearing the
colors Of that school without having been
given the best that it had to show.
1t begins to look very much as though
the Georgetown team that will go against
Carlisle Saturday will be lighter than the
one sent against Washington and Lee
last year on the corresponding date. With
the exception of Fitzgerald the line will
be the same as that which represented
the Hilltoppers last fall Fitzgerald's place

build and does not weigh as much as his
predecessor by about seven pounds. Al
though Hart is Of a very different build
from Fitzgerald, he nevertheless fails to
tip the scales at as high a point as did
Fitzgerald. The backfield will certainly
be lighter. This is caused in the main
by the playing of Magner in place OF
Dunn. Dunn weighs fifty pounds more
than Wagner. who will start the game at
left half. White, although a big and
powerful man, does not weigh much more
than did Walsh, who played the position
last fall. Fury, at right half. is neither
heavier nor lighter than he was year
ago. On the whole IL seems that there
will be a lighter team representing the
Blue and Gray than 1t had on the field
in its first big game in the 1910 season.
1t may be that the Georgetown line will
appear to outweigh the Carlisle forwards,
as the men are more on the rangy build
than are the Indians, but such Is not
likely to be the case The Indians are
more on the stocky order than are the
Georgetown linesmen, and will in all like
lihood be just as heavy. Newashe, who is
playing one of the tackle positions on
the Indian team this year. placed beside
Hart might seem to be outweighed by
the latter by many pounds, and yet 1t is
questionable IL the former wouldn't tip
the scales at a better mark than would
the former George Washington man.
