est Contenders This Year.
HARD TO PICK BEST TEAM
Hllltoppers Tackle Albright and
Then Go to New York to
Battle Fordham.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Picking a champion for the South
Atlantic section this year Is sure to be
most unsatisfactory. There will be
three contenders, Georgetown. wash
ington and Lee. and Virginia, but II
will be almost impossible to arrange
any system by which the best team OF
the trio can be determined.
Washington and Lee has gone the
fsrthest aheld. with Georgetown fol-
lowing close after. The Generals GER
tainly cannot be judged a South At
lantic contender by their performances
against Army. Rutgers. Georgia Tech,
or Washington and jefferson.
Virginia's performances against Yale.
Harvard. and Vanderbilt. meritorious
or otherwise. can have little bearing on
their sectional honors.
Georgetown's victory over Dartmouth,
great as 1t was, decides nothing as re-
CARDS the relative standing of the Hill
toppers and either Virginia or Wash
ington and Lee.
For those who like to compare
tweedledum and tweedledee, some
amusement may be accorded them by
figuring on the relative contests of
Georgetown and Washington and Lee
at Annapolis. or on the results OF the
North Carolina Aggies' tussles with the
Generals and the Hilltoppers. But COM
PARSONS. as all football followers know.
never yet decided anything.
A. between Georgetown and Virginia.
not even comparative games are Offer
ed to determine which is the stronger.
There will be no recognized South At
lantic champion this season. Each foot
bail lover will have his own favorite
for the honors, but no methods are
available to settle any argument over
the matter.
Next Saturday Georgetown has an
opsn date. On the following Tuesday
the Blue and Gray will make their
fight for the Jesuit championship OF
the East at Fordham. Owing to the
victory of the Hiltoppers at Hayerhill
unusual interest is being manifested
by New Workers in the game In the
Bronx. Georgetown will probably bt

year Georgetown let loose flock oil

Not since 1909 has Ursinus been seer

Washington today gets chance Il
look at the eleven which upset the foot

lanx at Haverhill, Mass. Georgetown
Just as IL lined up against the New
Hampshire team, will face Albright al
o'clock at the Hilltop.
While Coach EXendinc will start hi'
regulars against the Pennsylvanians, il
Is not expected that they will remair
in the battle line throughout. The
competition for places on the Blue aut
