| Local foot ball interest this week cen
ters in the Washington and Jefferson
leIeyen, Not only is there much specu'
lation as to how much Georgetown vii
be able to accomplish against the sea
soned Pennsylvanians, but there is q
natural desire to see in action what un-
doubtedly is one of the strongest
elevens in the country-an eleven that
has a victory over Yale to it's credit.
| Washington and Jefferson has made
a remarkable record this year. 1t has
met defeat but once, and that III a
contest in which it gave as good as II
got. Harvard won from w. and j. by
a margin of one point, 10 to .. but no
other team has been able to take the
measure of the Pennsylvania lnstltu-
ton. The main game to the credit OF
the combination to play here Saturday
|, is the defeat of Yale by 13 to b. Here
lis the record of the eleven for the year:
Washington and Jefferson, rs; Mount
Vernon, 0.
Washington and Jefferson, 1o5' DICK
| inson, o. n.
washington and Jefferson, 2S; West
washington and Jefferson. 13; Yale, I.
Washington and Jefferson, 4s; west
Virginia, o. r,.
| washington and Jefferson, 10; Pitts
| Washington and Jefferson, SO; West
Virginia Wesleyan, 6.
| Such a record as this undoub1eoiy es
tablishes Washington and Jefferson as
one of the greatest elevens produced IN
long while. 1t has proved itself strone
in the running game--so powerful IN
fact, that it has been classed as one OF
the greatest elevens in this respect that
has ever played on Yale's field. In com
pa rison with Georgetown the Pennsyi-
lSania outfit seems great deal stronger
! just as Yale would be given the margin
| in the forecasts were 1t to come 10
Washington to meet the Blue and Gray
There is one ray of promise for
lGeorgetown in that Pittsburgh did not
accomplish much against 1t, ana won
simply through a superiority IN the ru-
diments. The work of the Blue ana
GRAY in this respect has greatly i'm
proved, and it may be that a surprise
will be sprung. Georgetown Will battle
desperately to make the right KIND OF
| a showing, realizing much OF Its rank
ing will depend on the result AND
| fighting as only Georgetown teams can
| fight, is hard to drive back, no matter
what kind Of an eleven opposes It,
The Blue and Gray eleven put in an
hour of scrimmage against the Mary
land Aggies yesterday. The Farmers
afforded just sufficient opposition to
| give the Blue and Gray some splendid
pract in running off some new
plays, mainly forward passes to be
used Saturday, given it by Coach Exen-
dine yesterday. The Farmers were un-
able to accomplish anything against
the defense of the Hilltop squad.
The coaches seem fairly well pleased
with the work of Calnan. and he prob
ably will start the game against w.
and j. at quarterback. He did so well
in the A. and NJ. contest that he prac-
tically earned a regular berth for him
self.
The Blue and Gray team as a whole
is in good condition. One or two of the
PLAYERS are afflicted with weak hands
as a result of aggressive defensive
play, but the eleven will start against
Washington and Jefferson in better
