STRONG ELEVENS DEVELOPED
IN THE SOUTH THIS SEASON
Washington and Lee, Georgetown and Vir-
ginia Represented by Powerful Agerega-
tions-Gossip of Saturday Games

Hopkins Thanksgiving day for the
Maryland state championship and prob
ably the greatest crowd that has ever
watched a foot ball game in Mary
land will be around the field. Hopkins
and NJ. A. c. have been trimming all
the other state teams and NJ. A: e has
won from all except Hopkins, while the
Baltimore university has still to play
ST. Johns, which 1t Is practically GER
tain to defeat. The Farmers have been
developing slowly ard have yet to
reach their top form, while Hopkins
probably is not as strong as IT VIII
been touted as the almost certain WIN
ner of the championship, but the teams
are very likely to fight on pretty even
terms.
Catholic University deserves great
| credit for the game it put up against
Muhlenberg at Allentown. The Brook
| landers defeated. by 8 to 0. team
| which had previously won from Buck
nell, and which had done fine work
in Pennsylvania and the other middle
states. The game was won, too, with
out the captain of the Brooklanders.
| Murphy, one Of the most dependable
players and a star on the defense.
It might be mentioned in this connec-
tion that the reports of a rough game
are untrue. Coach Nielsen, when asked
about the contest toLay, replied that
there was good feeling between the two
| elevens, and both played clean, fine foot
| ball Catholic University did not make
| a single substitution during the entire
contest.
Technical and Western are scheduled
| to meet tomorrow in the high school
series. II the Manual Trainers win they
will probably be awarded the cham
pionship though Business will have the
same percentage, not having yet met
defeat. Tech has played three games
and won two and tied one, while Bust
ness has not been defeated, but has
been tied in two of its battles. Technl- l.
cal ought to win from Eastern without
a great deal of trouble, and 1t Woulo
be an awful upset to the followers OF
the Maroon and Gray If the eleven were
| to lose to the Capitol Hill youngsters
The score by which the Maryland
Aggies won from Western Maryland
total that has ever been rolled up
against an eleven representing that
college, according to Chandler Sprague
who is writing foot ball for the Bal
| timore Sun. Sprague, himself, was q
star end at Western Maryland several
wears ago, when Western Maryland was
turning out teams that would make the
ones that represent 1t now look rather
insignificant in the physique OF the
players and general capability. Incl
dentally, 1t might be said that Sprague
was one Of the best ends the state has
ever produced and never has had an
equal, and never will have a superior,
at receiving forward passes.
The University of South Carolina
comes here this week to meet the
Georgetown team. South Carolina is
stronger and will give the Blue and
Gray a hard battle, though there are
| few who think that it has much
| chance to win. Any eleven that takes
the measure of the combination on the
Hilltop must go at quite a pace.
Catholic University goes away from
home again Saturday to play another
strong team. The Brooklanders are to
appear in Roanoke in contest with
Roanoke College. That Roanoke has a
strong eleven is certain, in view of the
fine showing it has made in several OF
its contests. Roanoke held A. and NJ
to 0-to-0 score and defeated Gallaudet
decisively. 1t is not a weak eleven
c. U. will face by any means.
