here Saturday. Georgetown is to meet
the eleven representing the West Vir-
GINA Wesleyan University-a team that
won from the Blue and Gray last year
solely through its capabilities with the
long forward pass-and Gallaudet and
Catholic University will meet in a con-
tiict in which the superiority of the
Kendall Greeners is not likely to be
marked as much as is generally ex-
ipected.
The contest at Georgetown will be in
terestlng for more reasons than one.
Whlie there is no great rivalry of long
lStanding between West Virginia Wes-
leyan and the Blue and Gray, it is re-
membeled at Georgetown that it was
compelled to suffer defeat at the hands
to1 the West NIrsinians last season. and
1t is not likely that the visitors will be
aoie to get off so easily this season.
tGeorgetown may not win the contest
Saturday. but it will put forth every
enort to do so, which it is claimed was
not done a year ago The GEORGETOWN
team is in good condition after its con-
test with Pittsburgh. and the PLAYERS
VIII go INTO the game Saturday with
the intention of scoring their first points
ana OF winning for the first time
West Virginia Wesleyan may be ex-
pected to show a we'll drilled team in
the open style of play. and the chances
are that both teams will vie with each
otner IN that respect The visitors are

contests they will have to play. Cen

test with Technical and that may af-

the championship. it will have to de-

| hoping for the title. but if they fail to
win from the o street school tomorrow
| they will hardly be considered as hav-
ing more than an outside chance
against Technical. The contest looms
up as one of the most important of
the whole series, in that it will give
the first opportunity to know definitely
a par with Technical, the eleven which
now leads in the race for honors.
Here is a conversation that took place
on the field in Baltimore last Saturday
just previous to the Maryland Aggies-
| Hopkins game, two days before st.
Johns was to be met at Annapolis.
I'VE have to play again Tuesday
against St Johns, and, knowing what
we are up against. l would appreciate
it very much If you would agree to as
| short periods possible" said Capt.
| Rowland of NJ A. c.
We'll. we viii be very glad to do
| that, but hope you are willing to play
long enough quarters to give us some
good practice, as | think we have a
| chance to beat Lehieh next Saturday."
| who expected things rather easy with
the NJ. A. c. aggregation. which was
lighter and less experienced than that
of the Baltimore institution. How
about two twelves and two tense"
| Two tWelves and two tens satisfies
| me-, answered Rowland with laugh
and. turning, added as a sort of an aft
| err thought, you needn't worry, either,
about getting your practice"
| The score of NJ. A. C., a. and Hopkins.
0, shows how hard was the practice"
| Hopkins received.
A great deal of unfair and undeserved
criticism has been made of Quarter
back Heisse of the st. Johns College
eleven because of alleged poor head
work on his part in the game with the
Maryland Agricultural College Tues
day. AS a matter of fact. Heisse did
some splendid work. and the two plays
tried by him, for which he was public
ly censured, were exactly the ones that
should have been attempted. There
was little else he could have done. His
team had the ball on the Aggies' 6-yard
line. with the goal to go in four
downs. Heisse tried three line plays
on which his backs gained exactly .
yards. He then tried a forward pass,
which went over the goal line and
was blocked by an NJ. A c. player, Civ
ing a touchback. Heisse was said to
have caused his teams defeat by not
calling for another line plunge. but
how in the world anybody could ex-
pect him to think that his team would
gain yards in one down if it had
taken three downs 10 go Is more
than anybody who knows foot ball can
imagine Heisse did the same thing
once more during the game, and there
was nothing else left open to him.
AS matter of fact, Heisse used bet
ter headwork on first thought than did
those who accused him of poor head
. work after the second guess. The
Farmers had their defense built so
that it was comparatively easy for st.
Johns to gain or or yards through
their line at any point in the field
until within or yards of the goal.
At that point the defense was closed
IN and the line was impregnable to the
ST. Johns plunges, as was soon found
out by Heisse. He had sense enough to
open and try a forward pass after he
found he could not gain through the
line in that territory. AS a matter OF
fact. the NJ A. C. quarterback was told
to do that very thing. and. obeying in
distractions, the pass was caught and a
touchdown made. Did Heisse use poorer
Judgment than did Knode of NJ. A. c. ?
The only thing that made 1t appear that
his Judgment was worse was that the
> M A. c. backs were alert enough to
, lblock st. Johns forward passes. while
:, the backs Of st. Johns failed in that re-
I spect. .
Heisse is one of the best hacks in
i TIC C.
