Blue and Gray Meets Bucknell
Eleven Tomorrow and
Should Win Easily
BIG CONTESTS ELSEWHERE
BY n, C. BYRD.

Georgetown plays the only foot oall
game scheduled here tomorrow. the
Blue and Gray meets Bucknell in the
next to the last contest OF its nome
season. The final battle on the Hilltop
takes place Thanksgiving with George
Washington. and on December the
Blue and Gray goes to New Orleans to
meet Tulane University.
The Georgetown team should nave
little trouble defeating Bucknel. Inc
result of the game seems to be only a
question of how many points the Hill
toppers will score, though the contest
ought to be interesting from purely
Georgetown standpoint. 1t is a pleas
ure to watch a piece of smoothly rum
ming machinery such as Georgetown
possesses. The Blue and Gray has one
of the best foot ball teams in the east
and it probably would be able 10 meet
on pretty near even terms any com
bination in the country.
Catholic University and Gallaudet are
the only other local teams which nave
games at all. The former goes to Nor
Rantown, W Va, to play West Nlr-
ginia University and the latter appears
in New York against Fordham. Neither
of the local elevens can be Favored IN
the predictions as to the outconiH ur
the contests. Fordham is very hkeiy
to defeat Gallaudet easily and II Wouid
be a distinct surprise if Catholic I'M
versity were to win from the west VIZ
ginians. Catholic University. without
some of it's regulars, is not gong 10
prove as strong an eleven as that last
week that held Dartmouth to Z 10
tie; at least, that seems to be the rea-
sonable way to look at the SITUATION.
G. w. U. Will Be Idle.
George Washington will be idle, not
being scheduled to play until Thanks
giving. The team in all probability
will be sent through a severe scrim-
mage tomorrow and then be allowed to
take it easy preparatory to meeting the
Blue and Gray eleven next Thursday
MARYLAND state also will not appear IN
a regular contest until Thanksgiving.
when il is to meet the Hopkins team
in Baltimore.
while there are no games of i'm
portance scheduled in this vicinity,
there are various sections in which
riyalrfes of long standing will be SET
tied Much has already been written
Of the struggles between Yale and
Harvard and between the Army ana
NAVY. but in other places will be play
ed contests in which there will be just
as much comparative local interest.
Lehigh VS.. Lafayette.
Up at Easton, Pa, the Lafayette team
will endeavor to atone for the poor
showing it has made so far in it's an
nuaI game with Lehigh. If Lafayette
can defeat Lehigh its season will be
considered a success despite the loss
Of many games previously. Lehigh has
made much the better showing SO far,
but that is no criterion that it will
finish with the long end of the score.
Last season the Bethlehem institution
developed a team which was rated
among the best in the east, yet it went
down to defeat before an apparently
much weaker aggregation from Easton.
The rivalry between Lehigh and La
fayette Is of long standing. and the
game between them is the one toward
which every graduate of the two in
stitutions looks forward with particu-
lar interest.
Haverford Plays Swarthmore.
I'D at Haverford there will be played
a game between two Quaker institu-
tions which means all to both. Haver-
ford has for its opponent SWarthmore.
and both these elevens are clever and
