Hilltop coaches are not making any
predictions as to the outcome OF the
struggle, but both EXehdine and Charley
Cox, the graduate manager Of athletics,
believe that Georgetown has chance to
upset lot Of dope and win the game,
despite the setback received at the hands
of Fordh&m here last Saturday.
The lineup of Georgetown's team is
not definitely settled, but it is more than
likely that Nahum. the blond giant from
Minnesota will start the game at right
guard, as Pat COnwen is still bothered
with a lame ankle. Otherwise the rush
line will be the same as started against
FOrdhRm.
In the back held a number of conbi-
nations will be tried, with Capt Fred
Murray the only man sure to start
Little is known as to the strength Of
the Navy for the reason that the cadets
have played no games this far and have
only been out ten days, but the Middies

The game should be a corker from the

bering forty men, will be taken TO Annap-

from the rOoters today.

Game as possible. The game will start |
promptly at 3 O'Clock with Rortright /
Dave White and John A. Du-

experienced in football and have PLAYED |
longer than the Bun and Blue, but Gal
