Evening star., 1917-10-28

So far this season Georgetown and
Georgia Tech have been winning their
games regularly as played. The best
effort of the former was in the defeat
administered to Lehigh. and the most
was it's IL to victory over Pennsyl
vania.
1t would. indeed. be interesting if
Georgia Tech and Georgetown could
get together for post-Season contest.
The two elevens would represent about
the best in southern foot ball and a
contest between them would be brilliant
in every department The possibility OF
such a game probably is very remote.
but the suggestion that an attempt be
made to arrange it certainly is not
amiss. 1t has been long time since
two really great teams were playing
below the MaSon-DiXon line.
Yesterday the Georgetown preps got
a long-coveted opportunity to display
their prowess against Central High
School. The Blue and Cray youngsters

Atlantic section is concerned. Except
ing Georgetown. V. p. l. probably is
as strong as any other eleven in the
section. but against the Blue and Gray
it could not accomplish much. George
town won the contest and won it
easily, despite reports of the strength
of the visitors.
Incidentally. it might not be amiss
to mention right here that the Blue and
Gray has two halfbacks who need take
second place to those of no other team.
Giiroy and McQuade are not only bril-
liant. but consistently so, two quail
ties seldom united in anybody. George
town. like Georgia Tech, bases its
two great running halfbacks. At

Maryland State. after getting a bad
start. trounced Wake Forest without
an awful lot of trouble. AS a matter
of fact, had not State received SO
many penalties. it would have run up
a bigger score by far. OF course, the
penalties were deserved. the majority
of them coming as result of the
forwards charging before the ball was
snapped
States eleven played good foot ball
most of the time, but continued to show
a disposition to let up when things were
coming its way. Several faults in it's
play must be corrected and improved
before it can hope to win any of the
remaining games on its schedule. North
Carolina y. and NJ. comes here this
week to meet the Maryianders. the fol-
lowing week st. Johns is booked and
then Penn State is to be faced, after
which will be the annual Thanksgiving
day struggle with Hopkins. None of
these contests will be won without put
ting forth better foot ball than SO far
has been shown.
Navy did just what was expected
against Haverford yesterday 1t rolled
up SO points and in a pinch probably
could have got an even greater number.
About the only remaining eleven on the
Sailors schedule that seems to have a
chance to beat it is Georgetown.
Syracuses victory over Tufts was
even more one-sided than was expected.
Notwithstanding that Tufts is much
weaker than year ago, in fact Is little
more than a shell of the great combina
tion which wore its colors in 1916, it
was not thought that Syracuse. itself
weaker than usual. would roll up any
thing like 5S points.
