Georgetown the favorite, but so high
ly respected is the Virginia team that
there has been less wagering on the
probable outcome than in years In
the past it has usually been the rule
that one of the teams was considered
much the superior of it's rival, but this
fall conditions are such that each team
will take field backed by thousands
of partisans who honestly believe their
favorites will be the winner.
Both teams are through so far as
preparation is concerned, all of the
work today being simply calculated to
keep the players on edge for the con-
test, which means SO much to them.
The Virginia squad, accompanied by
four coaches and trainer, Will arrive
at the Arlington about dinner time this
evening, and while they are waiting
for bed time, there will be a general
mass meeting of the Georgetown un-

be attended by most of the Blue and
Gray players. Prominent students and
alumni will address the gathering and
all arrangements will be completed for
the handling of the Georgetown cheer
ing section, which, 1t Is expected, Will
contain almost 1000 men.
