than probable that the Blue and Gray

However. the lineup that viii be sent
in this afternoon will Be one that could
press that regular Blue and Gray varsity
to the last notch. as there are practically
two men for every position on the line
at the local institution. which makes It
almost impossible to select the regular
varsity forwards.
The Washington College eleven has
played throughout this entire season
without once being defeated and al
though they have not the least chancs
to win this afternoon. the eleven from
Chestertown. Nd. has come to this city
to put in the battle OF their lives. Com
ing to this city to-day to do battle with
a team that they have not the slightest
opportunity to beat, but with the resolu-
tion. and the fighting blood to back It
up. to hold the Blue and Gray to the
lowest possible score. most certainly de-
serves q lot of credit. The Washington
College eleven is q strong outnt. con-
sidered in its own class. and deserves
q lot of credit for not only the coming
to the gridiron on the heights this sea-

Eddie Mullaney Is without doubt caus-
ing the greatest sensation that has been
caused On the Hilltop 30 far this season.
MulIaney has been showing up in ex-
ceptional form during the past week. and
is almost sure Of a position in the line
for the Virginia game. On the defensive
Mullaney Ii q tower Of strength, and Ii
able to diagnose a play quicker than any
other man In the Blue and Gray line.
An aggressive. hard player on the Of
strength Of the Hilitoppers in rushing
the ball, and in Mullaney Georgetown
will have a man that It can depend on
to play a strong game on the de-
fensive as well as the offensive Mullancy
may start the Virginia game at center.
II MulIaney is played at center It ID,
more than likely that Ritch. who has
been playing in that position. will be
brought along as q secondary man to
fill out in the line in case Of injury to
any of the regular men. With Mullaney
at center and Moriarity and Barron at
guards the center positions should be
well fortified.
There will be absolutely no scrimmage
practice for the Georgetown University
squad during tho entire coming week.
The week will be given over to signal
drills and the development Of the rudi-
ments Of the game. Good Interference
and the ability to smash up plays before
they are well started. will play a big
part in the game for Georgetown against
Virginia next week.
The different points that have been
brought up during the last week that
have effected the playing Of the two
Blue and Gray men. and the comment
that their move has caused, has undoubt-
edly aroused more interest In the coming
game between Georgetown and Virginia
than ever before. The battle next Sat-
urday. with all points considered. should
be one of the hardest ever fought on the
West End field. There is little doubt that
a record-breaking crowd will be in at
tendance.
