Whether or not Georgetown wins from
the Navy today. it is going down 10
Annapolis with that intention. AT least
that is the sentiment on the Hilltop as
it was expressed by Graduate Manager
of Athletics Cox just before the team
left for the Maryland capital this morn
ing.
I'VE expect to win from Navy to-
day, whether we do or not" was the
way Cox put his answer when ques-
toned as to what he thought OF the
prospects of his team. l cannot say
that we are going to win, because ii is
impossible to foretell the exact course
of the game. I will give it as my
opinion, though, that the contest will
go in favor Of Georgetown If we do not
make mistakes such as cost US so dear
ly in the contest with Princeton. We
know that Navy has some powerful
men, and is hard to whip under any
conditions. However, I'll just say what
I did in the first place-we're going
down to Annapolis to win, whether or
or not we do"
a victory for the Blue and Gray to-
day will give the team a big boost, and
probably cause 1t to prove big draw
ing card in its remaining contests. If
Georgetown can defeat the sailors it
will be a whole lot more of an attrac-
ton to the followers of foot ball in
Washington, and also Will cause more
people to spend their cash to see the
game II Is to play in st. Louis against
st. Louis University Thanksgiving day
Also the contest would be the first big
game the Hiiltoppers have won in two
years, which would be worth even more
TO the school than anything else. Great
credit goes to any team that beats the
Navy. and the followers Of the Blue
and Gray institution would like moth
ing better than to see that happen.
The Maryland Aggies are in Phiia-

eleven. The Farmers were not in the
best possible condition. three of the
players receiving rather severe bruises

hurts were not such as to prevent them
starting the game, though they are
not likely TO be as effective as if per
