Neither Georgetown nor washington
and Lee is as strong as in 1876. Botn
schools had great elevens then, being
among the best in the east. No game
was played between them then: IN
all probability, had not the wart inter
fered, the contest this fall would have
been between splendid combinations. as
both would have had back a great deal
more material than now is present IN

strong aggregations. The two schools
are good enough to put up a splendid
struggle. one well worthy of them; that
is. if Washington and Lee is; or Is near
on a par with the Blue and Gray:
Maryland State goes to Penn STATE
today with its team just about as bad
1y crippled as it has been for any con, con,
test this season. The Marylanders Will
start with Ave of their regulars sitting

to be taken of having them. IN poor

probable that State will use Orban and
Stubbs at tackles. Wescott and Stevens
at guards. Wiseman and Aitcheson at
ends, Arthur and Knode at halfbacks.
Macdonald at full and Axt at quarter
back.
Washington College has not done any
| thing this fall that would indicate It
is the equal of Gallaudet. It played
lost by something like 0 to 3s. Gal
laudet barely was beaten by the Penn
sylvanians 13 to Z. That comparison
surely seems to show that Gallaudet
eleven. Gallaudet will be at the dis
advantage of having to make an incon-
venieat trip, and it will be lucky to
keep its players III shape.
Several games Of more or less i'm
portance are scheduled tomorrow be-
tween the big teams of the year. but
the best perhaps is that at Philadelphia

exists that Michigan this season is one
of the strongest elevens anywhere.
It must not be expected. though. that
Michigan will run up a big score on
Penn. In all probability the wolve-
rines will have all they want to do
in the task of winning. If. however.

the result would come pretty near

with. and he probably is losing no
time in teaching his men to smash the
offense used by Michigan. 1t should
be one of the keenest hardest fought
struggles of the year.
