The University of Virginia goes to
Athens, Ca, to meet the University of
Georgia. 1t does not appear that there
is much question about the result of
the contest, as Virginia seems to have
much the better eleven. If Georgia
, can prevent Virginia winning by more
than two or three touchdowns it ought
to feel well satisfied. The return of
Paddock. all-southern quarterback last
year, to Georgia boosts the stock of
that eleven somewhat, but not suf-
ficiently to give 1t an even chance with
an eleven which defeated Yale and
against which Harvard could not score
q touchdown.

colleges. Washington and Jefferson

rather rapidly. 1t is questionable.

team will face a crippled eleven when
1t goes against the Army, but the proba-
bilities are that the Soldiers will have

work desperately to prevent loss to
Georgetown, which Is just what 1t will

The clubs could forbid the men play

been going from bad to worse. The
permission for the league men to play
the game in the late fall has gwen rise
to the custom of billing the team by
the club name. even though there may
be but one player of that club on the
team. In and about this city IL has
even gone SO far that teams have taken
the name of one Of the New York clubs
and had amateur or semt-professional
players assuming the names of men,
