with the capabilities of each man.
Foley. Kelley. Capt. Murray and Calnan
may be the quartet to attempt to gain
ground against the Pennsylvanians at
the beginning of the contest, though
that is merely a conjecture based on
performances in the contests already
played.
No matter what men are used at the
start of the game for, Georgetown, it is
fairly certain that it will be the best
equipped and strongest eleven that has
represented the institution this year.
The team assuredly is better fixed from
an offensive standpoint right now than
at any previous time this season, and If
some of the plays the Blue and Gray
will show in this contest do not gain
ground then it will be a big surprise to
those who have seen them worked in
practice. Georgetown has two plays
that are pretty sure to be good ground
gamers, and neither has yet been used
in a game. If those two plays fail to
work we'll it will be because Washing
ton and Jefferson has more skilled
players than the average of those on
the best elevens, and even then. unless
they are exceptionally apt at diagnos-
ing offensive factors. the Blue and Gray
will come pretty near scoring if the
plays referred to are held in reserve
until the Hilltoppers are in a position
where they will really have Washing
ton and Jefferson driven back into its
danger zone.
One of the mistakes made in the con-
test with ~. and NJ. was the use of the
best offensive integers at times when
they would not be possible scoring
factors, even if successful for 10 or Is
yards. OF course, it may be argued
that it is first necessary to get the ball
into the real scoring zone. which is
true. but there are few close, hard
fought contests III which both teams
are not given one or more such oppor-
tunities by reason of recovered punts
or recovered fumbles.
Preparations are being made Gal

play with the Maryland Aggies Satur-
day morning. The Kendall Green ag
gregation is expecting a rather easy

done by it against the Pennsylvania
Military College last week. Gal!audet
is banking on winning by a fairly de-
cisive margin, it's players being in good
condition for the first time in several
weeks.

The authorities of Stevens Institute
did something yesterday in connection
with it's foot ball team that might well
be applied in other instances. In a game
with New York University last week
one of the Stevens players was put out
of the game for smuggling. In violation
of the rules, the coach had him put on
new jersey. plastered his face with
strips of bandage and then returned
him to the game. The appearance of
the player was so different that the
officials were deceived. When the mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
school authorities. they took exception
to the action, holding it was absolutely
unfair, in violation of the principles of
clean athletics. and not up to the
standard of teaching they desired for
their students on the gridiron. Because
of these things the coach was request
ed to resign. The attitude of the stu
dents in general with regard to the in
cident may be gained from the follow
ing written in the school paper:
stevens may not be able to have a
winning foot ball team. She may not
