Maryland State will send a crippled
eleven against V. NJ. /. States players
went into the game with the Navy with
only ten days practice and had not had
time to get hardened Against vet
eran, we'll drilled and seasoned COM
binatiop but one result could be ex-
pected-a lot of bruisedup players.
Bad legs and generally battered men
have been in evidence all week around
College Park. 1t has not been deter
mined who will start the game with
V. NJ. l., but in all probability one of
the ends. Wiseman. will play in the
backf1eld in Fletcher's place. Condition
Of the forwards on Saturday will be
the determining factor in who Will
start the game in the line.
Galludet had its regularly scheduled
contest cal.~eled. 1t was listed to meet
Susquehanna University, but that in
stitution called off the setto. In lieu
of the regular struggle the Kendall
Greeners Will entertain the Walter
Reed Hospital eleven. The coIlegians
should win about as they please. unless
the Soldiers show much better form
than has been usual for them in their
recent contests.
Technical High meets GEORGETOWN
Props at Georgetown tomorrow after
noon in the only scholastic contest
scheduled here. The Manual Trainers
have several players on the injured list.
but still have plenty of material for a
good showing. Barnes, one Of the big
with a splintered ankle. and Carpenter
has such a bad shoulder that he may
not play for some time.
One Of the hardestfought games on
any gridiron tomorrow ought to be
that between the University of Illinois
and University of Wisconsin. The con-

conference championship. and both
elevens seem to have more than the
average strength. Each misses star
players from the 1916 team. but neither
the caliber Of foot ball it is playing.
Syracuse while it undoubtedly has a
rather good team, hardly is likely to
stand much chance OF trimming Pitts
burgh on the latter's field. AS a mat
~ the crew coached by Glen Warner
rips away and captures the contest by
a big margin. Pittsburgh demonstrates
against Lehish that it still is able to
score touchdowns pretty rapidly.
Brown University and Boston Col
lege should put up rafting good
game at Providence. The former, while
not quite up to its usual strength, still
has team good enough to put UP a

takes part. Boston College appears to
be represented by one of it's strongest
elevens, and that, coincident with the
fact that Brown is little weaker than
usual, should suffice to develop a strug-
gle Of more than ordinary interest
Unless Cornell improves a whole lot
over what it showed last week, or un-
less Colgate is a whole lot weaker
than 1t was . year ago. the Ithacans
are in for another defeat at the hands
Of a smaller institution. Last week
Sharpe's men went down by a 14-to-1O
score in their setto with Williams. and
this week Colgate is not likely to
proye any weaker than Williams to say
the most encouraging thing possible
for Comedians.
