| The Washington and Jefferson eleven
| is here today for the conflict with
Georgetown tomorrow. The Pennsyl-
vanians came to town this morning and
| will spend this afternoon in practice at
the Maryland Agricultural College.
Those in charge of the visiting aggre-
cation are not inclined to talk much
about the prospects of the team against
the Blue and Gray, but here is what
Graduate Manager Stewart had to say:
Il am inclined to think that George
town will play Its best game of the
year against US tomorrow. 1t undoubt-
edly has been working solely for this
contest, and we naturally expect to
meet with stronger opposition than any
school yet played by Georgetown. I
know that the eleven here is capable
and may do great things. I would
like for us to get lead of touchdown
or two in the first half, so that we
| could get some of our second-string
men in use in the third period and fn-
fsh with our regulars in the fourth,
but it's hard telling and it is the main
thing for US to win. We have strong
team when we are right, and 1 think
mat we viii play our best tomorrow
| We slumped somewhat Just after we
| played Harvard and Yale, but are back
| as met
| those teams"
This would seem to indicate that
| Washington and Jefferson expects to
win, but thinks Georgetown is likely
to surprise with it's strength. The
| splendid work of the Washington and
Jefferson team SO far undoubtedly in
dicates that 1t will be the victor, but
| the Blue and Gray has a combination
| that may give 1t a harder battle than
| is generally looked for, and the Penn
| SYLVIA mia "a
| Graduate Manager Stewart speaks in
the highest terms of Speigel, left half
back of the Washington and Jefferson
| eleven. He said:
"Speigel is one of the greatest backs
/, in the game today. He is undoubtedly
| the fastest man on the grfdiron, and
| once he gets loose up at Georgetown
| tomorrow, there will be no stopping
him. He can run in broken field, is
| fast, and knows how to carry the ball.
| A foot ball game in which he plays Is
worth while for that fact, if no other"
| 1t is said that Washington and JEFF
ferson has a pair of ends who are ex-
| ceedingly clever at receiving short
| forward passes, and it will be plays or
this character Georgetown will have to
| watch out for tomorrow as well as the
running game. The w. and J. outfit is
| said to have tried something like sew
enty forward passes against west vir-
| rinia Wesleyan, and of that mum Der
about ffty-three were successfui,
which is a much larger percentage than
is necessary to make the play success
full when considered from general
point point of view
4 The game between Yale and Harvard
/ tomorrow will be seen by something
! like 10000 persons, the largest crowd
that has ever watched a gridiron con-
! ffict, and the work of the two teams Is
1 almost certain to justify the wonderful
exhibition of intense interest The bat
Yale and Harvard have ever played,
and Crimson coaches admit that Yale
mas the spirit and determination to
win, which is the big factor in any
gridiron contest. Coach Haughton of
the Harvard eleven stated in "a speech
that unless Harvard could combat the
supreme effort Yale would put forth
with one even more determined in
spirit it would lose. Harvard Is not
minimizing Yales chances this fall by
any means, and 1t undoubtedly realizes.
as was evidenced in the remarks of the
head coach, that unless the greatest
effort of years is made Yale is likely
to finish with the long end of the
score.
There is little way to tell just what
will be the result of the conflict AS
a matter of fact, it appears very much
as if the chances are about even, with
the odds favoring neither eleven. Yale
has team that is strong In the BACK
held-more powerful in that respect
than any the Dark Blue has put out in
many years; but it appears that Har-
