Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-11-29

Nv ait until you see this fellow
Cramer at fullback. Most everybody
who has seen him play this year
frankly admits that he is about the
best fullback playing in the east, Ger
tainly he is ia rabove anybody holding
down the position on a service eleven.
He hits the line low and hard, and has
a remarkable facility for holding his
feet. He seldom fails to gain four or
| five yards. You would not think a
man could go so fast and still run so
low to the ground"
Charley Cox, graduate manager at
Georgetown. in talking of the game
| said that the result would depend
much on the frame of mind in which
the Georgetown men enter the play
f! II was his opinion that the score would
be close and that hard, close play
would feature the clash.
All arrangements for the game are
complete. The teams have made every
effort to be in the best possible physi-
cal condition. and the coaches have
drilled their charges with the idea of
the maximum of team play shown to-
| day Early yesterday morning big
force of men were at work on the
F., field. sweeping away the snow and
getting ready the ground SO that it
would be in the best possible condi-
ton for the fray. If the footing is solid
Washington foot ball followers prob
bly, will see some of the most bril-
! liant open field running they have
watched on a local gridiron in years.
The contest begins at 2:30 O'clock and
is to be played at American League
Park.
| Maryland States squad left this
morning for Baltimore, where it meets
Hopkins today in the big game of the
year in Maryland On what the teams
seems to have a little the margin, but
as a matter of fact the two elevens
probably will contend on pretty nearly
even terms. The condition of the field
| will have much to do with the show
ing of State. The College Park aggre-
CATION will be at its best If the foot
ing is solid. Twenty-one players were
taken to the Monumental city for the
game The whole student body always
makes it a point to so.
Out in western Pennsylvania all foot
ball eyes are conferred on Forbes Field
in Pittsburgh. where Penn State and
! Pittsburgh meet in their annual clash.
State goes to Pittsburgh with Pitt an
overwhelming favorite. In fact, some
have gone SO far as to say that the
Panther will even clean up the pieces "
Penn state has had a poor season, and
its own followers probably do not .ex-
pect to beat Pitt, knowing Warner as
they do. However, this is the year of
upsets. and If he is given half a chance
| there is young man in the Penn State
lineup of the name of Way who is
likely to spill the beans for Pitt at
| one swoop. Several times this year
he has run punts back for touchdowns.
and such a thing is not impossible
against Pitt Pitt probably will win
though there always remains the pos
sibility of the untouted team finishing
in front.
| Washington and Jefferson meets
Washington and Lee at Richmond. The
Pennsy1vanians have had a better year
than the Lexington institution. al
/ though the latter showed against
Georgetown that It has been coming
very rapidly in it's development. WASH
| ington and Jefferson ought to win.
! Pennsylvania will rip Cornell to
shreds, unless all signs fail. For Cor
nell to turn around and beat the Quak-
| ers today would be the greatest foot
! ball upset in years. The Ithacans have
i been downtrodden by all this season
