BY II. c. BYRD.

Three games are scheduled to be played
here tomorrow. Georgetown is to meet
the West Virginia Wesleyan eleven,
Catholic University will have Villanova as
it's opponent and the Maryland Agricul-
tural College is to go against the team
from st. Johns. While it is difficult te
foretell the results of the several con-
tests, it would appear that Georgetown
should win from West Virginia, that Vii
lanova ought to beat Catholic University
by good margin and that the Maryland
set-to with St Johns.
The most important of these games is
that between M. A c. and ST John S.
While 1t will not decide definitely the
championship of the state, the contest
will have greater bearing on it than
any yet played. If st. Johns wins it
will still have a difficult nut to crack in
the rejuvenated Hopkins eleven, but if
NJ. A. c. is the victor it will stand an
excellent chance of winning out. OF
course, the Farmers will be at q. disad-
vantage in having to play their last game
in the series on the following Friday
against Washington College, but ought
to win, as they beat, 46 to o. team
which Washington College played to a
tie score.
The game between NJ. a. C. and st
Johns will be one of the best contested
games of the year. The two elevens seem
to be very evenly matched, although word
has been received at NJ A. G. that big
pool has been raised at st. Johns to cover
NJ. A. c.. money at 3 to 2. and whenever
two teams from these two schools meet
the game is certain to show plenty OF
spirit. ST. Johns has been winning stead
lily from the Farmers for seven years, the
Y-kA -. e.. I...1
victory in that period. NJ. A. c. will have
on the field an eleven capable of giving
any team of its class a close, hard con-
test. even when it loses, and it is not un-
likely that it will prove to be the strong
est combination that has represented M.
A. C. against st. Johns in mighty long
while.
The game at Georgetown will be one
which should give the Blue and Gray a
good practice for the one with Virginia
a week hence, but West Virginia Wes-
leyan should stand little chance of win
ming. The Blue and Gray, despite its
three defeats, is stronger than is gener-
all thought, and is likely to display good
form tomorrow.
Catholic University does not stand
more than an outside crance to beat
Villanova- In fact, defeat for the
Pennsylvania eleven would be the sur
prise of the year. It is not to be ex-
pected that the Brooklanders can do
more than hold the visitors to a low
score, even If they succeed in that.
All these games will start at 3 o'clock.
The big game in the east tomorrow is
that scheduled between Harvard and
Princeton. Everybody is predicting a vic
tory for the Crimson by good margin,
and odds of 10 to Z are being offered on
the game. The Tigers are conceded to
have no more than an outside chance to
win by the majority of critics who have
watched the two teams play.
Without saying that Harvard is not go
ing to win, it may be stated, though, that
the Princeton eleven is apt to show a lot
better form than is generally looked for.
Harvard has shown wonderfully well this
season, but Princeton has not played up
to it's real standard as yet.
1t was beaten by Dartmouth. it is true.
but it must be remembered that the
big Green" eleven is among the very
best 1t would probably give Harvard
just such a grueling battle as that in
which it figured with the Crimson last
year. The Tigers have a great deal more
