Three games of special interest are to
! take place in the south. The Univer-
sity OF Georgia and George Institute OF
technology are to play at Atlanta; the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute Is to
have as it's opponent at Birmingham
Vanderbilt University. and the Univer-
sity of Virginia goes to Columbia,
S. c., to pit its great team against the
strongest that has ever represented
the University of South Carolina. The
outcome of these contests will have di-
rect bearing on the standing of the
elevens in the south, and all are likely
to be f1ercely fought inasmuch as they
also embody much of sectional rivalry.
Harvard is not very apt to take the
game it has scheduled with Brown at
Cambridge very seriously: The Grim
son squad probably has a sufficient
number of first-class substitutes to
defeat the Providence eleven while its
coaches and the majority OF the regu-
lars watch the Yale-Princeton battle.
Lafayette has another hard battle on
its hands, being booked to go against
the Penn State eleven at Easton. Penn
State has a much better record than
Lafayette, and 1t will be a great sur
prise if the Eastonians get the long
end Of the count.
Lafayette has been something of a
disappointment this season, splendid
material having gone to waste, by all
accounts. Lafayette began its practice
with fine prospects, but an 1S-to-0 vic
tory over Pennsylvania is about the
only bright spot in the year.
Catholic University left this morn
ing for Allentown, Pa, where it is to
fit. The Brooklanders feel they have
terrific fight against a mighty good
team in store for them. but they do not
anticipate being outclassed by any
means. Muhlenberg is strong. but any
team which can play the kind of foot
ball Catholic University has put up
this season is not weak by any means.
Catholic University, with its regulars
in. would be well fortified. but as it is
it cannot hope for anything other than
hard, evenly fought contest.
The Navy and Army are scheduled to
play teams from Maine. the former
being booked for contest with Colby
and the latter having the University
of Maine as it's opponent Both serv-
ice teams should win.
Two big contests are to be played in
the middle west, the most important
being that in which the University of
Chicago and the University OF Mime
sofa are to meet at Minneapolis, and
the other is to be played with the Uni
versity of Nebraska and the Univer-
sity of Kansas as opponents.
Johns Hopkins is to meet one of the
best teams it has faced this year, play
ing Haverford. The Hopkins eleven
has attracted a great deal of attention
this season, having made a fine show
ing. 1t expects to get the long end of
the score from the Pennsylvanians,
though it is probably going against a
more powerful combination than it
thinks. If Hopkins wins it will have
to play better foot ball than it has
yet, and that is said Notwithstanding
its 23-to-I victory over Gettysburg.
The Maryland Aggies will meet West
ern Maryland College in their last home
game of the year. The upstate eleven
is coming to College Park with the idea
Of winning, though it's record is not as
good that Of the Farmers. The
game will be played at o'clock.
The Farmers probably will start the
| same team which went against st.
Johns in the big game with that
eleven two weeks ago. Right Halfback
Hart has been out with a bruised bone
until yesterday, when he went through
signal practice without much evidence
OF injury.
Business and Western meet today in
what may prove to be the last impor-
tant game Of the school series. The Red
and White will try to overthrow the
Stenographers. and if it succeeds, Tech
will get the margin in the race for the
championship. Business and Western
are both In good condition, and the
game should be well played.
