Georgetown and Maryland State play on

MIC Institute In what undoubtedly will
prove the best contest Of the season on
tho Hilltop. and the State combination
entertains Wake Forest. The game at

Under ordinary conditions Georgetown
should win from V T. T. without a great

will be too strong for the Polytechnic
eleven. V. 2. !. has been playing some
good foot ball, but IL the Htlltoppers per-

should not be much doubt concerning the
result The Blacksburg Collegians will
be just as heavy as Georgetown. and they
have good dropkicker upon whom to
base hope for scores. but certainly they
possess no such backs as Gilroy and Nc
Quade. II Georgetown fails to win it Will
occasion a great deal more surprise than
if 1t won by big score.
Wake Forest unquestionably will
bring to College Park a more powerful
eleven than that which wears the coIors
or Maryland State. Whether or not the
State team will be able to make that
up In cleverness and greater knowledge
OF foot ball is the question which will
determine whether or not 1t will stand
an even chance to win. State will start
tho game without the services Of sew
