One of the greatest contests of the
year probably will result from the
meeting between Washington and JET
ferson and the University of Pitts
burgh. OF course, it is saying a graf
deal to make the statement that these
are the two greatest foot ball teams in
the country, but it is not going too far
to say they are two of the greatest.
There are few if any organizations SUI

to have an easy time winning from
Delaware College.
The Roanoke combination has some
times put up splendid exhibitions, and
while not much of line has been got

will afford greater opposition to the
local school than is generally ant1cl-
pated from institutions of that caiber.
Catholic University has proved SO
strong in its recent contests that it Is
not likely to encounter sufficient oppo-
