Catholic University won its first game
of the season yesterday The Brookland-
ers were returned the victors over the
Delaware College eleven by the narrow
margin of single touchdown. 1t is
reported that the local aggregation put
up its best article of foot ball during
the year.
The most agreeable thing which took
place in regard to the Brooklanders
game of yesterday was the fact that a
man was uncovered who gives promise
of developing into a real star. The per-
son referred to is Moran. 1t is said that
schools and that he combines speed and
weight in such a way as to make an
almost ideal line breaker.
was expected of it in the game against
Washington College. The Kendall Green
eleven failed to display the prowess either
on the defense or offense that it has in
the other contests in which it has ap-
peared
The defeat of the team at the hands of
Washington College so decisively was
probably due to the fact that the players
were in very poor condition. 1t is said
that they were much affected by seasick-
ness, and that they were unable to do
themselves justice for that reason. 1t is
much to be regretted that such was the
case.
Georgetown had little difficulty winning
from North Carolina, just as had been
expected. There had never been any
way by which it could be figured that
the Tarheel combination would be able
to give the Georgetown eleven very
close contest.
The press reports from Richmond seem
to favor the North Carolina eleven in
their tone, and to intimate that George
town had an extremely difficult time
rolling up the points on the southerners
What probably did happen was that
there was almost a complete second team
playing in the second half, after fair
ly safe lead had been secured. That was
the intention and it is almost certain
that the fact that North Carolina made
a stronger showing in the second hall
was due to that and nothing else.
The Georgetown eleven as it stands is
much too strong for anything Nofth
Carolina can put out. anu WIN ltS feSu-
lars in during the entire contest could
probably make the tally much larger.
Virginia made a much better showing
than was generally expected against
Vanderbilt. 1t was pointed out that the
Vanderbilt eleven. being slightly Grip
pied, would not do anything more than
attempt to win in order that it's regulars
might be in shape to meet Harvard,
against which it desires to make great
showing.
The score of the game hardly shows
true comparison of the strength OF the
two elevens. and it is very likely that
Vanderbilt is a whole lot better than Vlr-
ginia than the two touchdowns would
seem to indicate. It's margin of superior
ity is probably wider, although the
score was smaller than was generally
thought would be the case.
The coaching problem is up at Penn
sylvania again. The Quakers are having
their troubles, more than their share.
Now the report is out that lot of old
time stars of the school want the sys-
tenn changed and that they are making
efforts to have 1t done by seeing to it
that their school is defeated as often as
possible 1t is to be hoped that that re-
port is exaggerated
