tisllaudet and Catholic University pia!
the only foot ball game scheduled lot
Washington tomorrow The two locai
elevens clash on Georgetown t1eld III d
contest which should bring forth quito Il
few thrills In the nature of stellar plays
Both teams are strong, and the Sdihe
should be we'll worth seeing.
,;aIlaudet probably will be stronger
and in better condition against Catholic
University than iii any OF It's previous
contests. Marshall. the star of the eleven,
is in good shape and ready to put up stith
a game as won for him places OH several
an-south Atlantic teams last season II
will be remembered that Marshall played
one of the most brilliant games OF his
career OH the gridiron last Thanksgiving
day and he may repeat tomorrow
The Catholic University squad is not
in the best shape possible, though IL Is
probable the full strength of the team will
be on the tield at the start Rogers mas
been suffering somewhat with lame
shoulder. and so has Capt Murphy. Ffeer
has had a mad ankle, and the team as a
whole has been considerably bruised from
It's nara series OF contests.
CatholIC tnlVofslJS ought to WIN Ihe
BrookIauderS nave played good enough
foot ban this Ia! 60 warrant a predIc-
ton that they VIII finish IN front by a
comforIa ple margin. The team has
shown a more consistent offehse than
tiallaudet and has played better on the
defense. The game should be weiI
worth watching. though. as both
elevens Will be keyed up for the en-
counter. The game will start at 2:3o
O'Clock.
The officials will be Lieut.. Cannon,
referee: Clarence Heeox umpire, and
.john y. Dugan, head lineman.
Dickinson is to play Lafayette in
LaStOn tomorrow. and what the latter
N,IIl not do to the former is not likely
to be much Lafayette is pretty sure to
win by big margin; in fact. about
aS big as ii cares to run UP. The LafaE-
cite aggregation came into its own last
week against Lehigh with a vengeance,
and amy team that can manhandIe that
South Bethlehem crowd by thirty points
is worth while.
Probably the finest exhibition of foot
ball that will be seen tomorrow will be
shown by the Penn State and Pitts
burgh elevens at Pittsburgh. Every |
body seems to be figuring on a fairly
easy victory for Pittsburgh; those so
thinking may be right far the
victory is concerned, but certainly
wrong in their calculations. on the |
easy" part The general play of bolh |
elevens is sure to be brilliant, because
they represent the acme of foot ball |
among what are generally called the |
secondary institutions. Penn State has |
only one defeat to mar its record-that |
received at the hands of Harvard 1t
also has a mighty fine eleven, accord |
ing to all reports and considering it's
own record, and If Pittsburgh defeats it
the result will probably be decided only |
after a grueling struggle
Georgetown's game in St Louis to-
morrow should be something of a |
clnch. If the weights of the St Louis !
PLAYERS are correct as published. St |
Louis has four or five Iinemen who |
weigh around 15s and 1SO, and thew
are not likely TO stand very long in |
'front.' of the charges OF such players as !
make up the Blue and Gray rush line !
Georgetown will outweigh us rival a |
great deal, and is likely to- ontplay the !
Mound city institution correspondingly. |
JUST what the University OF PennsyI- |
vania will accomplish against Cornell
IS impossible to foretell, but it would |
seem, to Judge by the compa rative rec
ords of the two. that it has little
chance to win. The Quakers are hop
ing to get the jump and play a game
winch VIII make up somewhat for the |
disastrous season so far experienced |
Penn's year on the gridiron has been /
poor one. and if it could by some freak
OF fortune snatch out a victory tomor-
