While the Commodores thus lead the
land for running up touchdowns and
things against the enemy. It must be
admitted by their most feverish ad-
mirers that Virginia was the first real
opponent they faced this season. 1t Is
unfortunate that stronger elevens might
not be matched with Dan McGugin's
gladiators.
Comparing the caliber of the teams
facing Vanderbilt and Syracuse, the
better. despite the forty-four registered
by opponents. The Salt City eli ven has

and Michigan, as against Virginia for
Vanderbilt But Pittsburgh and Michi-
gan triumphed over Bill Hollenback's
team, and that Is black mark that
cannot be erased easily. Following is

Georgetown has but two games on It's
schedule that should test thoroughly
Coach Exendine's eleven. Fordham. 20
be played at New York week from
tomorrow, and Tulane, booked at New
Orleans on December .. are the hardes:
the Hilltoppers maintain their present
rate OF progress. they should go through
the season with but one defeat against
them, that at Annapolis in the opening
clash OF the campaign.
Four home games are yet to be played
at Georgetown. Following the Fordham
contest the Blue and Gray will battle
West Virginia Wesleyan on November
II. A week later comes North Caro-
lima A. and NJ On November % Buck
nell will be seen at the Hilltop, and on
Thanksgiving, November 30. George
Washington will meet the Hilltoppers
for the first time since 1910.
Wes X Nesie running %esle %a on T For
ward passes. defeated Georgetown a
couple of years ago here. The Noun
taineers have strong team again this
season. but they will have to hustle to
equal their last victory over George
town.
North Carolina A. and NJ. seems un-
usually weak this year. Only Van
Brocklin and McDougal OF the old
phalanx are playing at Raleigh. How
ever the team may find itself in time
Fighting bravely against the handi-
cap of being n frst-year eleven,
George Washington Is gradually be-
coming n football machine worthy OF
trying something. 1t Is perhaps, too
much to expect the Buff and Blue to
win from Georgetown this season, but
holding the EXendine eleven to a rea-
sonable score will satisfy George
Washington's supporters. Other years
are coming. and Georgetown may yet
have to bow to the Hatchetites.
Light work for couple of days Is
scheduled for the Blue and Gray. No
game is on for Saturday, but Coach
EXendine will spend the week smooth
ing out rough places in the offense
especially in the various styles OF
passes used by the team.
