OF SCHOOL TITLE TOMORROW
Blue and White to Play It's Final Game OF
Series With Eastern-Other Gossip
of Gridiron Struggles.

in the strength of the Crimson regular
and substitute players.
The result of the game at George
town was just what was expected.
North Carolina A. and NJ. did not show
enough strength during the previous
part of its season to warrant a belief
that it would accomplish much against
I the Hilltoppers. and that was exactly
the condition in the game. Georgetown
twas by TAR the stronger team. and the
visitors scored more because of mis-
take by Georgetown than on any spe-
clal offensive ability of their own.
| Georgetown goes against Bucknell
| this week and the result of the game
should be about the same as that of
last week. Bucknell has been getting
nobly trimmed all season by various
teams, and will more than likely be
served by the Hilltoppers with one of
the worst beatings of it's schedule.
washington and Lee scored SO points
against Bucknell. and Georgetown has
a more powerful and varied attack
than the LeXingtonians
| Catholic University's much weakened
| eleven failed to produce a touchdown
against Muhlenberg and its defense was
unable to withstand the attack of thai
eleven. Muhlenberg was successful
particularly in getting off long for
ward passes. Had the Brooklanders
|
on the field they would have fought an
even battle, with the chances good fol-
a victory. The team c. L. placed
against Muhlenberg probably was the
weakest that has represented it in any
contest this season.
Out in the western conference the
struggle of the year is to take place
| this week. Ohio State meets North
| western on its home field. at Colum bus
| hepn defeated
\ other conference eleven. Both institu-
tons kept their states clean last week
! Ohio State winning from Case and
Northwestern beating Purdue. The
| game ought to be the most brilliant
| event of the middle western season. II
| certainly is the most important strug-
gle that has been looked forward to il
that section for a long while.
The University of Nebraska went
down before Kansas in its big game
| of the year. The score was close and
well befitted a struggle between the
| two universities. The count was TO j.
| The Maryland State team made nine
| teen first downs against New York Uni
versity last week, and the latter count
ed but four, according to the pub
lished report in New York newspaper
That shows that the Marylanders
, really outplayed the Gothamites more
decisively than the score. which was
10 to :, indicates. There was one pleas
ing feature in the play of the Mary
land team-the showing of Coggins. the
halfba ok. who had his knee twisted in
the Dickinson game. The New York
ers never stopped him by tackling. and
if he would have kept his head UP
and not have butted into the secondary
defense players he probably would be
going yet.
Loose handling of the ball was a dis
pleasing feature of the contest. The game
may hit the team hard in injuries received
by Rich and Williams. Williams had his
foot badly twisted that he had to be
carried to a local hospital yesterday and
Rich was removed at the end of the first
half with sprained knee, The other
players came through the contest in good
shape. It is thought. though. that the
whole squad will be in shape before
Thanksgiving. the day Hopkins is to be
met in Baltimore.

the Wolverines more than the. score shows.
too. as they bent their energies entirely to
defensive work after getting a lead. The
Quakers had no desire to show Cornell
scouts any more Of their offense than
was absolutely necessary.
