The Washington herald., 1914-10-31
BY WILLIAM PEET.

For the second game OF the season on
the Hilltop field Georgetown this after
noon meets the strong West Virginia
Wesleyan football team of Buckhannon,
and as the Methodists trounced the Hill
! toppers last year they are well enough
/ known to the football loving public Of
the Capital to need no introduction.
Coached by MoAnt Pleasant and Gar
low, former Carlisle Indian stars, West
Virginia is said to be much stronger than
| last year. so the HIlltoppers have their
work cut out for them.
Capt Freddy Murray will not start the
! game for Georgetown. His loss removes
the best ground gamer of which the Hill
| toppers can boast. Murray was badly
banged up in the Pittsburgh contest last
] Saturday. and the coaches have decided
to give him a much-needed rest
Despite this handicap, the feeling on
the Hill is optimistic. Georgetown pos
sesses a wonderful rush line and a back
| field that has up to date been unable to
find itself. but which is composed Of
strong smashing players.
The undergraduates believe that the
ice will be broken today. and that the
wearers Of the Blue and Gray will emerge
on top with the long end of the score
Ideal w"ather should bring out a big
crowd. The game will be hard fought
with plenty OF open football to thrill the
fans. The contest starts promptly at 3
o'clock
The 1914 record to date Of the West vir-
ginia Wesleyan team follows: Wesls yam,
O. Carlisle Indians, 6; Wesleyan, a.
Marshall, o; Wesleyan, Is, Virginia Poly
technic Institute, 0.
These records show several things
among which are that Wesleyan Is
stronger than last year when It beat
Georgetown. This is exhibited in the
scores against the Indians. as well as
the relative score against Marshall.
In 1913 Carlisle beat Wesleyan Is to O.
while this year she was lucky to win
6 to O. Marshall held Wesleyan to 10 to
0 in 1918, while Wesleyan ran away from
her in 1914 by the score OF "a to o, or
the same score that Washington and
Lee Cthe team that beat Georgetown. 13-OJ
beat the Marshall team. Wesleyan's vic
tory over V. p. 1. was an easy one and
gives a basis for rating with teams in
South. Another indication Of Wesleyan
strength is in the fact that last year she
won from West Virginia Univ rsity by
q to o, and West Virginia last week
scored two touchdowns against A. and NJ.
OF North Carolina and came very near
beating the Tarheels.
