Gossip and Comment

Football has nearly reached the mid.
season stage All three local colleges
will be busy this afternoon. Georgetown
going to Richmond to tackle the strong
Washington and Lee team, Villanova
playing Catholic University, at Brook
land. and GaIlaudet stacking up against
v. n. I. in Lexington, Va.
The outcome Of the Georgetown-Wash-
| ington and Lee game is problematical
for the reason that no definite line has
been obtained on the strength of the
Virginians. They are reported to be
fast and strong. also well coached, con-
sequently the Hilltoppers have their Cork
cut out for them
Catholic University meets q husky,
strong team in ViIlanova, which can
always be depended upon to put up a
stubborn defense, while the same goes
for v. NJ. I. against GaIlaudet.
A goodly number of undergraduates
will accompany the Georgetown squad
to Richmond, and as the Virginia State
capital harbors a big alumni representa-
tion, the Hilltoppers should not lack for
encouragement and support.
Twenty-six players boarded the 7:35 ex-
press for Richmond this morning ac-
companied by the coaches, Manager
o'BOyIe and Assistant Manager Butler.
universally went a udIO
practice yesterday in preparation for the
game with viIianova this afternoon.
Coach Madden is going to send the
strongest team possible against the Penn
sylvanians. Much attention has been paid
to the offense and punting, as Catholic
University has been weak in this depart
ment hitherto. Rogers, the new man,
seems to be the goods. His puntIng bor-
ders on the sensational Rogers has been
in school since II opened, but has been
studying hard. and 1t was only through
great efforts that the coach got him to
don a uniform.
The same line will start this afternoon
that played against st. Johns last Satur-
day. except Killion, who will play today
in place Of Kelly.
