country. That he did not get of many
successful passes against the Farmers
was due to the fact that he was specially
watched.
The majority Of the press reports sent
out from Annapolis gave the Aggies
more than they deserved. They did not
play as capable a game as they are given
credit for having done. The Farmers
looked no more like the team which de-
feated Hopkins than chalk looks like
cheese, nor as much, because some faint
resemblance might be imagined in that
case. A prediction that Johns Hopkins
will defeat st. Johns will not be far
amiss.
Catholic University is having its trou-
bles. It has been found impossible to
get the men out to practice regularly.
and the players themselves have not been
able to get into the practice as consis-
tently as they would like for several rea-
sons. The men have been kept on the
side lines because of faculty rulings. in
juries and other objections. Consequent
", the coaches have been unable to stall
off the defeats which have been re-
ceived.
No foot ball team can have success
full season without consistent and nara
practice 1t has been unable to accom- t.
plish much for that reason. the only
game in which it has made a creditaoie
showing being that with Villanova. Poor
work in several departments of the game
have done much to cause the poor show
ing. the mediocreness of the play being
due as much as anything else to lack
of time in which to school the men.
Georgetown should not have much trou-
BILE in winning from North Carolina Sat
urday. v. p. I. trimmed the Tar Heels
last week by a wide margin. and II is
likely that the Blue and Gray eleven VIII
accomplish a victory by an even Wloer
margin II it so desires. unless by some

eleven should take a great brace.
Georgetown showed great strength IN
it's game with Carlisle. much stronger
than has been evidenced by any other
There is little question that If the Blue
and Gray maintain its standard OF the Car,
Isle game in the other contests, 1t Will
win the remaining contests on Its scneo-
ule. OF course, there is the ever-present
possibility that the eleven. being cond1.

Virginia elevens, will strike tartar

be in its best shape when it faces v. P.

have as easy sailing as might be ex-
pected.
There is no backfield in the south today
which will in anywise compare with that
of Georgetown Dunn, White, Murray
and Costello form ground-gaining COM
bination which is above the average of
any other quartet in the south. far above
any, in fact.
Jim Dunn Is. in a class by himself. 1t
is almost impossible to understand how
as large a man as he is able to dodge
with the speed and agility which he
shows almost every time he takes the
ball. Saturday at one time he struck
through the whole secondary Carlisle de-
Tense after he cleared the line OF scrin-
mage, and was by it almost before 1t
could move from it's tracks.
Technical High will meet Western to-
morrow Judging by what was shown In
the game last week, the Red and White
eleven will not be the victor. 1t Will be
I'D against a combination much heavier
than itself and will find that 1t Is un-
able to stall off the heavier opponent.
The Navy has begun that slow climb
which generally marks it's progress to-
ward the close of the season. The Sail
ors got away Saturday with a victory for
the first time since they defeated Johns
Hopkins in the opening contest of the
year, and that against a team which is
not weak by any means. The Navy
eleven will progress slowly from now until
the time it meets the Army. when it will
be in it's tip-top shape. Despite the fact
that the Army has made a much more
creditable showing than the Navy so far.
there is little doubt that the Sailors will
put UP a great struggle when the two
teams meet.
