Three big games are scheduled in the
south Atlantic section today. Washing
ton and Lee and the North Carolina Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College are play
ing in Norfolk: the University OF Virginia
and the North Carolina University do
battle in Richmond. while Georgetown
is meeting Holy Cross here. The Vir-
ginia-Carolina game is apt to result in
victory for the aforementioned by a
good margin, but the two other contests
are certain to be hard fought, with
neither team winning by big margin.
The most important of the three games
is that between Washington and Lee
and A. and NJ. These elevens have been
contenders for the south Atlantic title,
and 1t would appear that the winner.
whichever it may be, will have the
strongest claim on the championship. So
far A. and NJ has been victorious in all
its contests, with the exception Of that
with the Virginia Military Institute, but
it is a well recognized fact that the team
was very much crippled and the best
eleven was not presented against the
Cadets. Washington and Lee has yet to
go down In defeat.
The Lexington eleven has won every
game in which It has participated, having
defeated the two 1t has met in this Sec
ton decisively-North Carolina and Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. If 1t can
win from A. and M. 1t will undoubtedly
have the best claim on the honOrs for
the south Atlantic division-even better
than that which A. and NJ will have
IL it wins.
The virginia North Carolina game will
be a walkaway for VII ginia, unless
North Carolina shows much greater
strength than has been evidenced In a
long while. These two teams have not
played an evenly matched game in the
last three seasons, last years contest
having been won by Virginia by some
thing like GO to o. North Carolina has
not evidenced strength enough to guar
antee a prediction that 1t will make even
a; good showing.
The local game-that between George
town and Holy Cross-is apt to be as
fiercely fought as any played here in a
long while. The Holy Cross eleven Is not
going back to Worcester defeated If II
can possibly help itself. Its general work
this year has been of a high class. II
having played against big elevens In the
greater part of Its schedule. II George
town beats Holy Cross it will probably
be after more grueling struggle than
it has had in any of its previous contests
The chances are that the Hilltoppers will
be against an even stronger team than
those which represented Virginia and
West Virginia Wesleyan, which gives ar
I adequate idea Of what the Blue and Gray
coaches stated this morning that they
were not looking for an easy game al
Georgetown. but that they did expect
to win. This was practically the sub.
stance os the statements given out by
those In charge at Georgetown.

with about the strongest eleven 1t has

be remembered that IL has had better

it really outplayed Penn during the
greater part of that game. though the
score was to against it.

The Maryland Agricultural College

against the Pennsylvania Military Col
lege this afternoon. The Farmers hope
to win. but they realize they will be
against a pretty stiff proposition. 1t il
probable that the eleven they will play
today will be stronger than any they
have faced this season. with the ex-
ception Of the Navy. It averages about
ten pounds more than the Aggies. and
1t is known that one or two Of the play.
, ers in the lineup are exceptionally
the backfield. The NJ. A. C. eleven has
been shifted, and almost an entirely new
lineup will be used. Shipley has beer
taken from fullback and will start al
| left halfback. Bowland has been shifted
from left tackle to fullback, and his place
has been taken by Ungvarski, who has
been substituting for him during the
greater part ,of the season. Hindman
who has been playing tackle has been
moved out to right end, and Huntemann
d
will give the Farmers a heavier team
than they had before. especially in the
line, where the need of greater weight
has often been felt. 1t will also put
more weight in the backfield. where there
has not been a really heavy man all
season, three Of the four men used until
now weighing under $50 pounds each.
The Carlisle-Brown game today in
Providence is likely to be one In
which the Indians will score about all the
points they desire. Last year the In
dians beat Brown decisively, and at that
time Brown had about 70 per cent bet
ter eleven than this season. Brown
has not done much on the gridiron this
year. and It is not probable 1t will be able
to redeem it's record very considerably
against the Indians. Unless Warner S
team scores thirty points or more it will
be much OF q surprise. although every
once in a great while the Indians take a
slump against a weak club and fail To ac-
