YaePceton Game Most Important Of Big Contests for This vi

eral interest will center is that in which
the Carlisle eleven will meet Pennsyl-
vania. Glen Warner had rather beat
Pennsylvania than any other eleven on
his schedule. The game with the Quak-
ers generally brings out all there is In
the Indians. because 1t is probable that
they have to play against greater spirit
in that contest than in any other Penn
men do not like to be defeated by the
Indians, as is testified by the desperation
with which they have fought at times to
ward off a victory for the Redskins.
The one big contest in the south is that
in which Georgetown is booked to meet
its most bitter rival, Virginia. The two
elevens will probably show greater fight
ing spirit and more determination to an
initiate each other than has been the
case in a long while. The squabb.e which
has been going regarding the eigibil-
ity of players has served to make the pot
boil all the merrier.
1t would be a queer turn of affairs IT
the Pennsylvania eleven were to beat the
Carlisle Indians, and ii would be just
the turn for which the other big univer
sites would be looking. The Indians
have always been thorn in the side of
the big schools, as they have nearly al
ways been a factor in the contention for
the championship.
enough to win from the Indian team the
other big schools could afford to congrat-
ulate themselves. 1t would give them
the chance to sit back and say that as
Penn could hardly be considered in the
running for the title, ar6 as the Indians
had met defeat at the hands of the
Quakers they also would have to be elm
mated.
Right now the Indian team is match
for any other foot ball combination in
the country, and if pitted against any
of the big schools would have at least
an even chance to win.
That the Army eleven held Yale to
one touchdown, and then was defeated
by the Indians by such a wide margin.
would seem to indicate that the
Aborigines have an excellent chance to
be classed with the best in the coun-
naming games on their schedule as
successfully as they have the ones
already played
The contest which the Catholic Uni
versity has scheduled to be played this
week with the Western Maryland eleven
will take place Friday afternoon. 1t is
realized that the players on the Catholic
University team would want to see the
Georgetown Virginia game, and so the
change was effected.
1t is also probable that the contest
which the Maryland Aggies have
scheduled will also be played Friday
afternoon. Washington College will be
date.
1t is generally thought that the high
school title for this year is already de-
cided. There is hardly anybody but who
believes that Central will finish in front
easily now.
There is one exception to this. The
exception is "Cuppy' Farmer. who is
coaching Business. A former Tech play
er. one who was a member of the team
at Tech with Farmer, asked the coach
if he was going to do anything against
the Blue and White. Farmer was very
expressive in his answer. At first he said
nothing but took off his cap, deliberately
laid it on the ground in front of him, then
said: MY team is going to beat Central
just as sure as my hat is covering that
speck of sawdust under it.. That is
some confidence, and it is some manner
of expressing it.
Catholic University seems doomed to
go through almost as disasterous a
season as it did last year. So far 1T
has won but one game and in the
others, with one exception, has not
made the showing expected. The
lege, but have lost all the other con-
tests on their schedule.
The Brookland coaches have labored
under big handicap. The players have
not been able to get out to practice as
often as they might. and injuries have
kept several capable men off the field
at times when they were greatly
needed.
The C. IT, eleven is made up of
youngsters, though. who have two and
three years in college in front of them,
and the experience they are receiving
this season should mean much to them
when another year comes around. With
the experience gained this year, a. lot
of we'll seasoned material should be on
hand to start practice next season.
