None of the local college foot ball
| teams will play at home Saturday. Three
| OF the institutions have contests sched-
uled to take place on foreign grounds,
while the other is not booked to play at
all.
The Georgetown eleven will go to Rich
mond to meet the University Of North
Carolina, the Catholic University team
will meet Delaware College in Newark,
Del, and the Gallaudet squad will go to
Chestertown, Md, where it will have as
its opponent the Washington College
eleven, the one which defeated Catholic
University last week The Maryland
Agricultural College is not as yet sched-
uled for a game. but efforts are being
made to secure one with the smaller in
situations.
eleven in the University of North Caro-
lima The Tar Heels were defeated by
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute in
rather easy fashion. and 1T should prove
at least as easy for the Blue and Gray.
While it is generally stated that the
Georgetown coaches do not expect TO
run up a very large score, still it Is prob
able that the contest will be Won by
margin Of more than twenty-five points.
judging by what the two teams have
shown in comparative strength.
The Gallaudet eleven will meet one OF
the strongest minor elevens in this section
in the one which represents washington
College. The eastern shore lads have yet
to be defeated this season. and nave
shown fine article of foot ball in every
contest in which they have appeared II
Gallaudet gets away with the contest II
will be because it is exceptionally strong.
Washington College has won from every
school it has met so far, by only slight
margin, it is true. but the fact that 1t
has kept touchdowns from being scored
against it is evidence enough that 1t has
a powerful defense. When any eleven
under the four-down rule keeps its goal
line clear it deserves whole lot OF
credit, because a powerful defense under
the present conditions is one of the best
assets of which an eleven can boast.
The defense is the problem which THIS
year has proved most difficult to solve.
The contest against Washington College
should prove one Of the most difficult
that school has had to play this season.
Just what Catholic University will DO
against Delaware College is a question
The Brooklanders are in very poor con-
dition and may or may not put up cred
parative showing of the two elevens,
though, they should be about equal in
strength. Delaware College was defeated
by the Washington College eleven by
score of to o. Catholic University lost
to the same eleven last week by tally
of to 2. That would tend to show little
difference in the strength OF the two ag-
gregations. OF course. it is realized that
and it may be that the local school will
finish in front by fair margin. It Is
more than possible. too, that Delaware
College will accomplish the same thing.
It is almost impossible to tell under such
conditions just what will happen.
The Maryland Aggies are not scheduled
to play. The Farmers have tried every
way in their power to arrange a contest
for Saturday with some Of the minor
schools, but as yet have been unable to
do so. 1t was thought that Baltimore
City College might be secured. but at the
last moment that was found to be impOs-
sible. The last hopes for a contest now
seem to center in the Baltimore Poly

there will not be a contest played on any
Of the local fields Saturday.
ers are severely bruised as result of the
game which took place last Saturday
with the Indians. White. Murray and
Rheinchild are all out for awhile because

just enough to keep them out for awhile
In order that it may be assured that they
will be in perfect condition for the con-
test with Virginia
With these three men out of the Vir-
ginia game the Blue and Gray would be
decidedly crippled but it is not likely that
they Will be lost No chances will be TAX
en- of not having them right when the
two teams meet here November 16.
The University of Virginia eleven leaves
Charlottesville tonight for Nashville,
where 1t is scheduled to meet the Wander
bilt team. Virginia has tried to get itself
into condition for the contest after a
miserable showing against second-class
teams, but 1t is not probable that it will
be able to accomplish anything much
Inst a combination Of the cahber of
Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt has made such a
record this season as to place itself in a
class much above Virginia. The Wander
bilt team will probably outweigh Virginia
considerably, and is likely composed of
much more experienced players.
If Virginia holds Vanderbilt to twenty |
points it may consider itself lucky and as
having accomplished more than was really
expected
The Washington College eleven appears !
here three times this season. 1t has al |
ready played here once, it Is SEIZED LED to |
meet Georgetown Saturday week. while |
on the following Saturday 1t is booked to |
meet the Maryland Aggies.
Business will meet Eastern tomorrow
in the high school series. The game will |
probably decide the holder Of third place
for the season-that Is. of course, II Tech |
does not lose almost its entire nucleus
before the contest with Central by reason |
Of the faculty advisory marks.
Business has much heavier eleven |
than has Eastern. but whether or not it
will be able to win Is problematic. The
fact that Eastern was able to hold Cen
trail to such close score has boosted
the stock Of that school to the extent
that many are predicting it is still in the
running for honors. 1t was as much Gen.
trails poor work as 1t was Eastern's &C
accomplishment which caused the close
score. according to accurate report.
