The Washington times., 1913-10-16
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Real football Saturday. boys, on many
Eridirons. Here in Washington tht
Slue and Gray bumps into a stiff op
ponent in Virginia Medical School, ant
ne Hilltoppers will have to travel al
TOP speed TO win. But the situation is
similar on other fields, notably al
Philadelphia, Hanover, West Point
Swarthmore, Princeton, and New
iiaven.
Georgetown is not Growing much be-
IRE the contest with the physicians
ON Richmond. The latter handed Jack
Hegarty's A. and NJ. eleven scare last
S4turday. and Hegarty is supposed to
ave a strong aggregation at Raleigh.
he Virginians will bJng a heavy team
rere, one whose line is aggressive at all
lines. 1t was stiff charging by the
Navy that spelled the downfall of the
3lue and Gray, and the same thing
may cause trouble here Saturday. No
natter what the result may be, this
same should be a fine test for the
Georgetown eleven, which is now pre-
PAIRING for its trip to Raleigh.
IT is probable that most interest at
taches itself to the contests at Cam
bridge and Philadelphia. Harvard has
been scored on twice this season, and
'ast Saturday played the Crimson to )
Or three periods, frightening the Har-
ward coaches not little. Holy Cross
meets the Crimson this week. The Wor-
cester team held Yale to a 10-to-0 VIC
tory two weeks ago. forcing the fight
ing from start to finish. There is no
telling what Holy Cross will be able
to do against the heavy Harvard line,
Tut il will be no tea party ar the
stadium.
pennsylvania meets Brown and will
enGeavor to wipe out the sting of those
.aSt Two defeats. These two elevens
ave met eighteen times. In 1902 Brown
on its first game, B to 6, electrifyinS
re football world. Then came a string
Iefeats until 1911, when the Brunon-
ms won, TO ., on rain-soaked field.
-aSt wear the heavy Providence eleven
IMPLIED upon the Quakers 10 the turc
of 30 to I. This year Penn IS favored.
brJwm is extremely sluggish, eXcelling
nl,V with the forward pass. Indeed.
Sc rth Penn scoring frequently by Using
rhe forward pass, a wonderful exhibi-
tron of hurling should b" seen at
T. ranklin Field.
Skipping from Harvard and Penn,
IL. a look at what Dartmouth, ARM
en- Princeton are tackling this week
The Hanoverians, ,prepping' for their
lIg game with Princeton, meet WI
Iams an ancient foe. The Berkshire
..oys played strong football against
II IiIryard, and should force Dartmouth
I, show her hand. The Williams CO.
hoIts have not been successful against
Dartmouth since 1899 though no-score
ties marked the struggles cf 1906 and
1906 The Green seems tO be progressing
slowly, hut determinedly and in order
70 save them for Princeton viii! not
use several strong veterans.
West Point bumps into the scrappy
tattle will be fiercely fought all over
the field the soldiers shoud win by a
rIdy score. Charlie Daly is teaching
lhe Army a lot of football this year
md the Rutgers game has filled the
IouShboys with confidence. Colgate's
.,,.sf work was its no-sCore contest with
Crrnell.
Princeton meets Syracuse. Last sea-
son the Salt City team was one Of the
strongest second class teams in the
cUuntry. defeating Michigan, IS to Z.
nd Lafayette. 30 to Z. 1t is with
cam of veterans that Syracuse will
Journey to Princeton, but the Tigers
have shown so much class on the field
= mis- year that Syracuse will do well to
hold them TO thirty points. Probst,
ackle. and Lew Castles, the kicking
q nd running halfback, are the stars OF
Syracuse and will be heard from.
4 second class game of considerable
bitterness will be between Lafayette
and Swarthrnore Penn defeated Lafay-
cite 10 TO O. and Swarthmore's vacci-
mated gladiators were trimmed. 20 TO o.
Apparently these teams are fairly well
matched and should provide plenty Of
