| The Virginia eleven greatly outWeighs

! have come from Charlottesville relative
| to the avordupois of the forwards, the
| Blue and Gray linemen will be against

! heavier. The Virginia backfeld also is
/ heavier than that of Georgetown. al
/ though it is said that the difference i'll

| Whether this difference in weight will

of weight which do not count for much

/ play and beat other teams which are
heavier by fifteen pounds to the man
simply because the superior avoiroupois
is worthless 1t might be mentioned tina,
| an aggressive player of 10 pounds is
worth much more to foot ball team
than sluggish. slow-moving man OF
| 200. There is one man in the Virginia
lineup who weighs about 200, and there
| is not much doubt that he will be out
| played by either Petritz or Moriarty,
| who are much lighter.
| The game today between Central and
| Business should be closely contested. with
! the odds about even. 1t is not probabl
! that more than one touchdown will Sepa-
| rate the two teams at the end of the con-
| test. Business will likely outweigh the
Blue and White. but Central is apt to be
the more aggressive. The contest should
be interesting, as it is certain to be fairly
Well played.
1t might be stated that Central has
been doing about as good work as any Of
the teams in the series. 1t had poor ma
terial with which TO start the season. but
despite that handicap it has managed to
prevent its goal line being crossed. The
team put against Tech was much the
lighter, Yet by playing better and more
aggressive foot ball ii kept its goal line
free. The team showed the marks of
good coaching in both its games, and es-
pecially was that true of its defensive
work.
One of the main dependencies of the
Virginia line is Carter. He is captain of
the team. and is undoubtedly the most
capable forward In the lineup. He is
exceptionally fast and active for a man
of his Weight-23D-and whenever a man
of that weight is found who has the adj
ditional requisites Of speed and aggres-
siveness he is a dangerous factor i'll the
lineup of any eleven. 1t Will be a
difficult matter for Georgetown to drive
plays anywhere around him, and the
quarterback will not use poor judgment
If he fails to attempt to send plays at
Carriers side of the line.
There is no doubt that Virginia will
have to go against the most powerful
eleven Georgetown has had on the field
this season The Blue and Gray has not
evidenced its whole strength in any of
its contests and it may show a great deal
more against the Orange and Blue than
is expected If Virginia has an eleven of
the caliber reported. it will be favored
to win undoubtedly. but a lot of faith
can be pinned in the fighting spirit of
that bunch of Blue and Gray players.
They will work and accomplish more
against big odds than any other eleven.
Georgetown will have better players and
more experienced men and better adj
justment of it's strength In the contest
with Virginia than in any of the previous
games, and while it is not predicted that
it will win from Virginia, or even play it
an even game. it may be said that there
will be whole lot stronger defense and
offense against Virginia than has yet
been evidenced
A basket ball player has entered Catho-
! lie University who will be of much aid
i to the quint this coming season. He is
one of the most capable men who have
played here. and he is certain to star for
the Brooklanders. He is Tracey who
