much superior form. That kind of COM
parison is like very ieaky sieve. but it
is nevertheless interesting. Princeton,
with its wealth of material. may get
going, and Harvard's smashing attack
may be stopped. That is one game that
to sum up in this: If Princeton is at
it's best and the most is gotten out of the
men, the game will be close and hard, but
II 1t is not up to the mark, then Harvard
| is apt to get crushing victory.
The one factor upon which the COM
parison between Harvard and Princeton
is based and upon which it seems that
Harvard is given its superiority is the
victory of Dartmouth over the Tigers. 1t
must be remembered that the big green
team was not so easy for Harvard last
year, 1t being too difficult game for a
place on the schedule this season
The Georgetown eleven is starting on
the last lap of its training for the game
with Virginia. The West Virginia Wes-
leyan University eleven is not apt to
prove strong enough to give the Blue and
Gray more than..a real stifr workout, and
| the main object of the development of
| the eleven will be to have it in its best
shape one week from this coming Satur-
| day.
Georgetown displayed some good foot
ball in its game with the Indians Satur-
day The Blue and Gray showed an
ability at times that was surprising. Its
defense, while not able to drive off the
powerful attacks of the Indians. braced
at times and broke up more than one
play. Georgetown played about as well
as could have been expected and got
away with about as creditable a score as
was looked for by anybody who consid-
ered the powerful Indian eleven and
looked upon the probable outcome with
any degree CT sentiment.
| Inc navy eleven right now is urdoubt-
edly one of the most powerful in the coun-
try. 1t is questionable If it has a superior

pares favorably with every other aggre-
cation, even those which represent the
big universities. 1t is piling up scores
against the teams it is playing with a
consistency which is amazing. And the
| Mlddies are doing it without anything
that savors OF deceptive play. 1t is simply
a case of strength. The greater power oi
the Navy team Is in it's line. There is nc
doubt that its forwards are about as
good as could be found. This may seem q

seven men playing the positions, with two
possible exceptions. Give the Navy a set OF
backs as clever some of those at the
big universities and it would have an I'M

The Maryland Aggies also are in for
| their big game when they meet st.
| Johns. The Farmers have just two
| contests on their schedule which they
are more anxious to take than all the
| others-the ones with Johns Hopkins
and st. Johns. Johns Hopkins has been
| defeated by 26 to o, and now il a vic
| tory can be snatched from ST. john
the cup of satisfaction at College Park
| is apt almost to run over. The Farmers
will not go into the game in as good
condition as they would like, but they
will be strong enough to give the very
best teams in their class a mighty hard
struggle before they go down in defeat.
st. Johns has had an almost unbroken
string of victories over NJ. A. c. for
twenty years. but If 1T wins this year
| it will only be after the hardest battle
| that has been fought in the history of
athletic relations between the two
| schools.
