Penn-Cornell. Yale Princeton and Har-
vard-Yale contests are going to be
worth watching.
charges brought by Georgetown rela-
tive to rough work by the midshipmen
In their game at Annapolis Saturday.
Not that 1t Is meant that the Blue and
in its claim that the game was rougher
than 1t should have been. but because
there Is no team In the country which
has played cleaner foot ball than the
Naval Academy. Whether or not the
Sailors played g much rougher game
than has been customary for them is
not known. but IL that is true 1t was
something out of the ordinary. IL
there is one eleven in the country
which has a reputation for displaying
very clean tactics. 1T is that which
represents the academy. The men have
always been inspired with a spirit OF
clean sportsmanship, no matter whether
they win or lose, and no team Is ever
treated with greater courtesy than
one which shows superiority over the
Sailors. In defeat they extend to their
conquerors even greater consideration
than when they win. IL such a thing
were possible.
II is much to be regretted that undue
prominence has been given what may
have been one unpleasant Incident
II Is not surprising to know that George
town lost to the Navy. 1t was felt that
the odds favored the Sailors TO win ny
fair margin, Notwithstanding the clever
backfield that represents the Hilltoppers
It was predicted that the margin the
Navy would have would be In It's fast
powerful line, and that was proved TO De
true by the results OF the play. Inc
Georsetown backs, however fast and clev-
er, could not hope to get away TOT
gains consistently when its forwards could
not hold in check the aggressive line IN
front of them. They were generaIiy
smothered before they got fairly started
The Blue and Gray men were outweighed
and outplayed by an exceedingly fast and
powerful combination, one which couiu
probably hold its own against any IN the
country.
It is not often that foot ball team
starts play with two ends who are seeing
their first year in foot ball. yet tnat Is
sust what the Maryland Aggies are 90
ing. Neither OF the men hololng .o0 hss
played previous to this year, with the
execution Of half a seasons experience
that one Of them had in high school,
MONTGOMERY, who played at Technical
had to be left out of the Hopkins game
because Of bad shoulder. while
Mauss, who is playing right never was
in a game until he started this season.
II Is Interesting to note. too. that notn
boys are doing good work. and. in view
of the fact that Montgomery has three
more wears at the college and Mauss
two. the Farmers should not be lacking
much for end material. especially II the
two boys continue to Improve as they
have in the last three weeks
II was distinctly a surprise that Catho-
lie University should have lost to Rock
nm Saturday. The Brooklanders were
confidently expecting to wipe up the grid
iron with the visitors, and would nave
done 30 had physical ppwer been the de,
Gliding factor. Rock Hi was outweighed
fifteen pounds to the man. but 1t played
the grittiest kind Of game. There haa n, was
al two games, one of which had been
won, while the local eleven was In its
first contest That is considera mar,
gin. though II is questionable II 1T should
have been sufficient to give 1t victory.
Ga,laudet did not make a wonderful
showing against Richmond College, but
that is probably due to the fact that IL
