big Foot Ball Games On Today Crusade Against Syndicate Ball
1MY TEAM IS IN BETTER SHAPE
TFIANAT ANY TIME THIS YEAR,
So Says Nielsen Of Georgetown, Who Is Con.
fident That His Eleven Will Show Well
Against Army-Big Games Today.

eleven during the early games this fall
il would seem that st. Johns has th'
edge on the Farmers. but there Is little
chance to forecast the real result on Sucf
flimsy evidence. The Aggies are never
beaten until the whistle blows the las
time and the game today is likely to b'
one of the hardest fought of the year. II
st. Johns wins il will not be an easy
victory by any means.
II Georgetown holds the Army to {
close score today ii Is likely that there
will be a decided upward bound to the
Blue and GRAY stock. So far 1T is claimed
that the Blue and Gray has done nothing
in comparison with what 1t should have
accomplished. Wait until after the Vir
ginia game and then see how the opinion
changes.
C;allaudct will go to Baltimore today de-
termined to give Johns Hopkins much
harder game than that team evidently
expects. Ii the Black and Blue clever
does not look close TO its laurelS 1t will
have surprise sprung on it today. The
Kendall Green team is determined to re-
deem its poor showing against the Mount
Washington eleven last week, and vii
fight hard for every step of the way.
If Harvard defeats Princeton today
there is little doubt that it will be the
favorite in the game when II goes against
Yale. The Crimson is farther advanced
than any other eleven in the east. and
unless 1t makes the same mistake that IL
did last year in getting to its highest
development before the Yale game 1t
will stand an excellent chance of being
placed at the top Of the list when the
final rating of the teams is ma at the
end OF the year.
Harvard may be surprised at Princeton
today. The Tigers. with the memories
by coaches before the contest. are not
likely to go down to defeat before an
eleven which has nearly always been
humbled in previous games.
If Pennsylvania wins from the Carlisle
Indians it will be the result Of one OF
the greatest upsets of form that has ever
taken place in foot ball. After being de-
feated by two elevens which are not any
where in a class with the ,dians the
Pennsylvania squad is on the verge OF
a contest which will have much weight
in determining the final rating of the
teams.
II Pennsylvania wins from the Indians
and goes through the rest OF the season
credtably, which II did last year after
losing to a minor eleven. the two games
lost to Brown and Penn State Will be
forgotten in the final summing up. and
the Quakers will be rated accordingly as
hey finish the season.
While it is almost certain that the In
ians will win from the Quakers, it
gould not be q great surprise TO those
who have seen the Indians play to hear
that Pennsylvania has done q whole lot
better than was expected. To those who
have watched the Indians style of play
from technical standpoint, 1t has been
evident that their attack would not be
nearly as effective against an eleven
with a strong secondary defense. because
when the Indians backs get clear of the
line they are generally alone. PENIS
backs have always been noted for the
quick way in which they back up their
line, and if they are as good today as
they have been in the past there Is little
doubt that Penn Will do better work
than is generally anticipated.
In Weaver and Cohill Eastern High
has two excellent backs. The former is
stocky and light, and is good both on the
defensive and offensive. Cohill, While
slight OF build, is good man to carry
the ball. being fast and able to run ex-
ceptionally well in the open field. Against
teams near their weight both men prove
almost certain ground gamers.
