/ Only two more foot ball games are to
be played on local fields this season,
}Georgetown being scheduled ito appear
in both. This Saturday the Bucknell
eleven comes here and on Thanksgiving
between George Washington and
Georgetown. Both games are to take
place on the Hilltop.
| Georgetown. as has been said before,
should have no difficulty in winning
both contests. Bucknell has shown lit
tie strength this season, as compared
with Georgetown, and George Washing
ton will not have an offense powerful
enough to gain much ground against
the Blue and Gray, even if it is able
to hold fairly well on the defense.
The season will not end for George
town on Thanksgiving. The Blue and
Gray meets Tulane in New Orleans
prove very difficult. either. and the
zig Jesuit Institution is likely to finish
Its season without another defeat. Ger
tainiy It victory for Buckne1l. George
Washington, or Tulane would be the
biggest kind of a surprise.
This undouhtedly-or will be when it
| it finished-is the best year Georgetown
has ever had in foot ball. The Blue
ana NITay, hau IL not. Deen SO oNeFcoh-
fident when it faced the Navy, might
have finished its schedule without a
defeat. To have gone through sea
son embracing games with Navy. Dart
mouth and Fordham without a loss
would have been an accomplishment
exceedingly noteworthy.
Gallaudet finished it's season last Sat
urday. The Kendall Green eleven did
well considering the green material
with which it started the year. 1t lost
70 rf 81, !,
would have made a better record had
it not been incapacitated through loss
of several good men by injuries toward
the end of the season. 4 game was
sch eduled with Fordham for this week
but has been called off.
Catholic University plays one more
game. being booked to meet West Nir-
ginia University at Morsantown. w.
Va. Saturday. The Brooklanders prob
ably will not be able to start their best
men, three or four of the regulars hav-
ing been so badly bruised up in the
game with Maryland State that they
have been unable to get out for prac-
tice since. If the Brookland eleven is
unable to start it's best men it will be
lucky to get out of the contest with
out decisive defeat. With the men
in the game who started against Mary
land State the Brooklanders would
stand a chance. but with that which
entered the contest against Muhlenberg
it will have little prospect of victory.
Maryland State has one more contest
that the biggest of it's season. 1t
meets Hopkins in baltimore Thanks
giving in what should be a splendid
struggle. According to past scores
there is little if any difference between
the two elevens, though close followers
of the two teams seem to give HOPKINS
a little the advantage because of the
more experienced men it has.
While the Princeton Harvard game is
past history, a criticism offered in the
Princeton alumni weekly is interesting,
in that it represents the opinion of a
former star player at Princeton and en-
bodies the viewpoint Haughton took of
the same situation. The criticism is in
Princeton's failure to kick as much as
1t should and when it should. Here it
is:
Some time in the not too distant fu-
ture 1 hope to see other foot ball teams
