has made the required distance. 1t Will
| be the Indians game to stop those dodg-
| ing runs almost before they are started,
as was the case last year. but whether
they will succeed is a question. George
! town is much farther advanced now than
| it was at the time it faced the Carlisle
| eleven last fall and it should have its
plays much more advanced in their Tor
self of getting the fleet backs on their
way.
Catholic University will be IN against
the heaviest eleven which has appeared
here in years when it meets Villa Nova
tomorrow. The Brooklanders average
about 10 pounds, while the team it will
face weighs for the average about 1870.
Just whether or not the Brook1and team
expects to make a creditable showing in
holding the score to low figure, is a
question. 1t is not likely that it will be
able to accomplish much in an offensive
way against the heavy combination which
VIII oppose, nor Is 1T probable that it will
be able to stave off the onslaught of the
l heavy backs who are certain to come
ripping into it's much lighter line.
If Catholic University holds Villanoya to
~ points it may consider that it has ac-
! cOmplished all that could be expected of
it. There is not the least doubt that the
Viilianova eleven will be composed OF
much more experienced players than will
the local one, and that it will be much
the odds to be much in its favor.
Cathedral School is scheduled to meet
the WOodberry Forest eleven tomorrow
The st. Adams eleven is fast and light
but is expected to compare we'll with the
much heavier combination from Virginia
From general accounts it appears that
the Naval Academy is in for another loss
tomorrow. The Swarthmore eleven is
probably one CT the strongest in the
country right now and the Midshipmen
are far from what they generally are at
this stage of the season.
Swarthmore, with it's defeat of Penn
sylvania to give it confidence, will come
to the Navy with the surety in it's feel
ings that it will win from the Sailors.
In 1906 1t Went to Annapolis with the
same confidence. but failed to accom-
plish the victory sought losing to a
much lighter eleven by score of 4 to ).
of their regulars out of the game tomor-
row, when they meet the University of
Maryland in the first home game of the
season. The Farmers Will be weakened
by the loss of Shipley. Hindman and
Johnston. The first mentioned had his
ankle badly wrenched in the game
against Richmond. and is not yet in
shape to play; Hndman has twisted
muscle in his leg while Johnston's finger,
which was broken at Richmond, will not
be risked tomorrow
Gallaudet will play the Baltimore City
College team and should win by a wide
margin. The BaltmOre eleven is hardly
within thirty points of equal to the Ken
dali Green aggregation il it plays TO the
form it has shown earlier iD the year.
Georgetown will be idle tomorrow The
Blue and Gray will probably go through
a light practice in order to be in good
shape to start hard work next week, 50
as to be in the best of condition to go
against the Carlisle Indian eleven, but it
is not likely that much will be done. 1t
is practically certain that the majority
of the men who played at Raleigh will
be given "a rest until Monday.
Central High will meet the GEORGETOWN
Prep School eleven this afternoon on
Georgetown Field. The Blue and White
team will be up against what is probably
the strongest scholast combination in
the city.
Central hardly stands much chance to
win from the Props unless it shows much
better form than it has evidenced in the
past. The High School team has not
accomplished much so far this season.
while the Props have Won all their games
by big scores.
