Georgetown will begin its difficult list
of games this week Starting Saturday,
the Blue and Gray eleven win meet teams
which will not be easy to defeat. So far,
the Hilltoppers have not been extended in
any game. but there is not much likeli-
hood that they Will be able to take things
so easily I'm the future contests.
Washington and Lee will be here this
week, and judging by the showing of that
eleven so far the Blue and Gray will not
be able to get away with the game as
easily as it has the ones played already.
The Lexington eleven. while it gave evil
dence of rather weak defense last Sat
urday by allowing a smaller team to
score two touchdoWns against it, also
showed somewhat of a strong offense by
rolling up thirty points against its oppo-
nents. and it is certain that the West
ern Maryland eleven which It played is
not any weak combination of players.
Georgetown will not run up any 52-to-O
score as it did the last time 1t met the
Blue and White aggregation.
Four days afterWard the eleven Will go
to Raleigh to meet the North Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical College. The
North Carolina team has met but one
eleven SO far, and that was not strong
enough to show it's real power. 1t was
the team from one of the United States
battleships. A. and NJ. has seldom had
weak aggregation of foot ball players
representing it. and there is no reason to
believe other than that it will be fairly
strong this season. 1t will not have as
capable combination as that which 1T
has put out for the past three years be-
cause Of the loss of several stars, but
there is not much doubt that 1t will give
the Hilltoppers much harder game than
any school 1t will have played.
Indians October 26.
After that contest will come the Car
Isle Indians. The Indians failed to de-
feat the Washington and Jefferson eleven
last Saturday. but that is not saying they
do not have an exceptionally strong COM
bination
The defense put up by Washington and
Jefferson must have been very strong,
Notwithstanding the reports to the effect
that one or two of the Carlisle stars could
have been in better condition. George
town may have chance to defeat the
Indians, but the chances are it will Itself
be on the losing end of the score. not
withstanding the predictions to the con-
trary Something of Carlisle's real
strength may be known when 1t is con-
sidered that it rolled up score of "a
point against Dickinson while Pennsyl-
vana with it's great backfield was able to
get but little more than half that many
Saturday.
After the Indian game the Blue and
Gray will go to Richmond to meet me
University of North Carolina. Just what
North Carolina has this year in the way
Of foot ball team is hard to tell, but
the probabilities are that 1t will not be
represented by any too stronc an eleven.
1t may have a heavy aggregation. it
has generally in the past. but for knowl-
edge of and ability to play foot ball the
team is liable to be much below the class
of the Blue and Gray.
Two weeks after the North Carolina
game Virginia will be played. 1t is too
early to make predictions regarding the
outcome of that contest, but it is proba BILE
that the game will be closer and harder
fought than any played since 1909
That the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
Is going to make the objective point of its
season the Thanksgiving day game with
Georgetown is enough to make it sure
that it will come here with the idea of
winning and with an eleven strong enough
to give the Blue and Gray one Of the
hardest games on its schedule. Bocock
will leave no chance go unsought in his
efforts to get a clear title to the South
Atlantic championship.
