Several games of moro than ordinary
interest are scheduled on the grtdfrons
tomorrow. The contest in which Vir-
ginia lines up against Harvard at Cam
bridge is the ono toward which the
eyes OF foot ball followers in the south
are mainly set: the clash between the
Indians and University Of Pittsburgh
| will be of great interest, because War
ner. now coach at the latter institution,
was the man who turned out great
elevens for the Carlisle School; George
town VS.. North Carolina, Navy We.
| Pennsylvania and Army VS.. Colgate are
others of more than local prominence.
From Harvard comes the information
that preparations have been made for
the Virginia eleven. The Orange and
Blue will have to go against an instftu-
| ton prepared to meet its attack and is
not going to find ground gaining as
easy as when 1t faced Yale. OF course,
the value of great punting, such as
underestimate. Even that Is not sure
to be worth as much as when 1t was
done against Yale, because Harvard
probably has built some kind OF q de-
Tense calculated to hurry up Thurman's
boots SO that he will not have the time
to get off his long spirals and place
them at will.
1t would be splendid thing for vir-
and undoubtedly would attain the
height OF foot ball hopes among the
followers of that institution, but such a
result need not be looked for. though 1t
be possible. and Virginia may consider
itself as having done well II 1t holds
| the Crimson to two or three touch
downs.
| Georgetown's game with North Caro-.
lima University is taking its place as
the biggest local event. The Blue and
Gray is expecting to make good its
claim on the south Atlantic title.
though 1t will be up against an eleven
| fully as heavy and one that expects to
| come mighty close to winning. The
general play of the two teams probably
| will be of a smashing variety. inter-
spersed with occasional forward passes
and other open play. Georgetown is to
| be without the services Of Dempsey, its
If needed. 1t is practically certain that
Leighty will be in the game at the
start. and he Is held to be very little II
any inferior to Dempsey: The one de-
partment in which Dempsey seems to
have the margin is in drop kicking. for
which he could easily be used II neces-
| sary.
| It is probable that Cusack and Cor
coran will start on the ends. Ward and
Gormley at tackles. Nahum and Barron
guards; Fitzgerald center; Wall and
Gilroy, halfbacks; Leighty. fullback.
and Maloney or Mcnamara. quarter
back. This is the same combination
which defeated the Navy. with the ex-
ception that Dempsey was sent in late
in the game to kick a field goal, and
Carolina undoubtedly Is going against
just as strong an aggregation as any 1t
will face this season. North Carolina
depends mostly on two men. its quar-
terback and center. Tandy in the latter
position has been rated by many as the
greatest defensive player in the south
for two years, while Long is said to be
something of a wizard at running back
punts and zig-zagging his way through
an open field. 1t would seem that a
good contest should result with George
town favored as the probable winner.
| Lafayette's defeat at the hands Of
Washington and Jefferson by big
score has lowered that team in the es-
timation of foot ball critics to the ex-
tent that it is not conceded more than
an outside chance against Princeton
The Eastonians can hardly look for
victory over the Tigers the week fol-
lowing a decisive defeat at the hands
of a smaller institution.
Many Washington followers of the
gridiron sport will go over to Annapolis
to see the University Of Pennsylvania
be we'll worth watching. despite the
rather mediocre showing OF the two
elevens in their games prior to this.
Penn has not done much, and neither

have the best Of the preliminary part Of
the season, not having suffered a defeat
by anything like that encountered by
the Sailors at the hands of Pittsburgh.
| The Army also will be against a pow
erfuI combination when 1t faces Col
gate. In fact. the Soldiers probably are
to take part in their hardest contest of
the year. Colgate Is never easy to de-
! fights the majority of teams it faces on
even terms.
The Indians meet Pittsburgh at Pitts
burgh, a team coached by their former
pointed for this very contest. Certainly
the Redskins would rather win from
Warmers eleven than from any other
right here that II 1t 10 possible for
Pittsburgh to run up big score on the
! Indians. It probably will do so. Any
way. Warner is not likely to have much
| of desire to lose the contest.
i Yale is scheduled for game with the
il Springfield Y. NJ. c. A. Training School
It should win. though how and by what
| game that will be worth going to
see is that in which Lebanon Valley
and villanova take part. Both these
elevens are strong and the general
a class but little. il anv inferior to
that of much larger institutions. The
! Lebanon Valley played Penn State a
hard game two weeks ago. and Villa
nova has been winning It's games con.
! sistently.
1 The Catholic University squad left
this morning for Buckhannon. W. Va,
| where 1t is to meet the West Virginia
| Wesleyan eleven. The Brooklandefs
are not in the best Of shape by any
means. two or three of their players
having been put on the injured list In
il the game with the Maryland Aggies
last week, and they seem to be slow
in recovering. The Brooklanders have
hopes Of getting away with the long
end of the score. though they realize
they are against an exceptionally pow
erful combination.
The Maryland Aggtss and Gallaudet
are to engage in their annual battle,
the contest being scheduled to take
place at College Park. Neither team
will present its strongest lineup be-
cause of injuries, Gallaudet being with
out the services Of Marshall and the
Farmers not being able to use Hind
man, who is in the hospital with q
badly wrenched knee. The two teams
! are likely to put up a hard fight.
though, as neither 10 very weak even
now.
The game at Georgetown tomorrow
will begin at 8 o'clock. Graduate

take care of q big crowd. as It is
thought there will be considerable in
