Two foot ball games will be played
here today. The Gallaudet College
eleven will meet the team from Rock
hin. and Catholic University will en-
deavor to retrieve its two defeats by
winning from Delaware College.
The odds would appear to favor Cal
laudet. although Rock Hill may prove a
more formidable opponent than is gen.
orally expected. The boys from Ellicott
City have an unpleasant way of coming
out once i'll awhile with much better
played contest than anybody looks for,
with the result that they score victories
and make much better showings than are
expected. Rock Hfl has two victories

The game in which Delaware College
Is TO meet the Catholic University eleven
may prove to be exceptionally hard
fought. OF course. the BrooklanderS will
go against more seasoned eleven, but
at that they have made progress since
last week Delaware College will prob
ably have team of about the same
weight as the local school. although 1t
will probably show greater seasoning.
The Newark bunch is generally pretty
hard to beat in any branch of sport. and
the Brook Ianders will probably not have
as easy contest as either of the two
they have lost. though they should have
improved sufficiently TO allow of better
showing. IEE
Both games should be close enough and
well enough played to be interesting.

Farmers are likely to get a good trim
ming. There is no question about the
academy being powerful. While the
Asgies must play with five of their .regu-
lars sitting on the side lines. Hofecker,

gomery. left end: Rowland. left tackle
and ffndman, right tackle, are the men
who will not be able to play. Take even
two or three regulars off a small col

most important game only two weeks

more men will be put out of commissions
The two big games on the card for
today are those between the Indians and
Pennsylvania and between Dartmouth
and Princeton. These are really the
first contests al real Importance and the
only ones so far booked that will have
a bearing on the championship. That
In which Dartmouth and Princeton will
engage is one of the two chances Dart
mouth will have of getting a look-in for
the title. II will later meet Pennsyl-
vania. but that does not offer near the
possibilities that does todays battle. in
asmuch as the Quakers themselves. do
not meet Yale, Princeton or Harvard.
Dartmouth is apt to prove a dlfhcult
morsel for the Tigers to digest. 1t is
not going to be an easy matter for them
to get away with the Big Green team.

Is generally conceded to be stronger than

ing the first three periods, was prac-

following Saturday. .-.-.
1t would not be big surprise if Dart
mouth wins. in fact, just that result Is
ibeut halfway expected. since conditions
are just exactly what is. not favorable to

upon a varied attack In which quick
starts are of exceedingly high value, and

~ll not be so much hindered.
The Indians always work harder
against the University of Pennsylvania
eleven than any other. They would
ather win from the Quakers than from
any other school they meet. because of
ne old rivalry existing between them.
