BY II. C. BYRD.

The foot bah season will end this week.
one or two big games are scheduled Tor
Thanksgiving day, while the last will be
played Saturday. when the Army and
Navy meet. Three more contests of im-
portance are 10 take place in this section;
Georgetown meets Holy Cross. Virginia
IS 10 play North Carolina and Washing
ton and Lee and \. and NJ. are booked
for game III Norfolk Thanksgiving DAY.
The Pennsylvania Cornell and Indians
Brown games are the big contests to be
played Thursday. The one between
Pennsylvania and Cornell is apt 10 be
brilliantly contested. and it is apparent
that Cornell has its best opportunity in
years 10 win The indications are that
the Itllacans are to wind up their season
with better than an even chance to beat
their most bitter rival.
The Pennsylvania eleven is not in very
good condition nov. having two Of its
best men ia"apa cit:ated. while Cornell will
probably BE- stronger than in any previous
contest. The Z: pwn-Indian game is like
! to be q matter OF how many points
the latter viii score. Brown has not
shown strength this season. and it is not
probable il will - able TO accomplish
much against Glen Warmers crew.
There IS no questioning the fact lhat
the AIidshiprnen think they have the
strongest eleven il the east. They be-
lieye that they would not show to disad-
vantage against Harvard or any Of the
other big universities, and the Sailors
have 4 basis for their contentious The
team has done superb work in all its con-
tests and has shown such power and
drive that its scoring has reached a much
higher mark than that Of any of its rivals
for bonors.
While the Army has been developing
rapidly and undoubtedly has a mighty
strong combination. the Midsnipmen
think they will win by good margin,
would appear that their contemplate
OF victory will be rewarded.
Georgetown is to meet Holy Cross here.
The Blue and Gray has done little since
the Virginia game, and Ii would not be
surprising If Holy Cross won by Il fair
margin The Virginia North Carolina
game in Richmond ought to result in a
decisive victory for Virginia. The Tar
heels have done nothing that would tend
10 show them in q class with the Char
is apt to result when Washington and
Lee and A. and Nj. meet The former
has been going along against some fair
elevens without a defeat, but it is GER
tain TO meet a much stronger opponent in
the Raleigh aggregation than it mas yet
been against. The chances would seem
to favor A. and VI.
Catholic University and tIaiiaudet nave
ended their seasons, each with victory.
The Brooklanders defeated Western
Maryland decisiVely. while Gallaudet got
away with its game with the Maryland
Aggies By d good margin. The only other
contest remaining for a local college is
that which NJ y. g. will play with the
Pennsylvania Military College at Ches-
ter Pa. and unless the ia. mers take a
big brace over the form shown against
Gallaudet they will be in for another
drubbing.
Technical and Eastern will meet tomor-
row in the game which will either give
Tech the high school championship or
will cause it to be tied with Western
for first place. The Manual Trainers are
not going TO take chances by being over
confident. They had one narrow escape
in the Central game, and they do not
want another.
Eastern may be considerably weakened
by the absence of one of its mainstays.
4 death in the family of one Of the best
players in the line-up wiz probably
cause him TO drop out, and Sis absence
will be greatly felt. The Tech eleven
will be intact.
Ii Eastern should win, Tech will be
tied for first honors with Western. The
Manual Trainers have been very strong
on the defensive. though. and 1t is not
probable they will allow Eastern to cross
their goal line. 1t appears that the worst
that can happen to Tech is to leave the
