FOR GRID BATTLES
Georgetown, Catholic u, GAL
Iaudet and Maryland State
Play Foot Ball Tomorrow.

Foot ball games are scheduled to-
morrow for four local colleges.
Georgetown, Catholic University. Gal
laudet and Maryland State are due to
appear in gridiron battles. George
town will make it's debut for this sea-
son, Troop B of Fort Myer being
booked for a battle on the Hilltop.
Gallaudet and Catholic University are
down for a meeting, and Maryland
State is scheduled for a contest with
Western Maryland in Baltimore.
Georgetown ought to win its game
with Fort Myer by a good margin.
The Blue and Gray eleven is much
stronger than the average service
combination and ought to beat the
Fort Myer men rather easily. Inc
Hilltoppers have not been able to
make the best of their season. though
as they have had very little practice
Gallaudet and Catholic University
should put up a fine game. Both
schools have good teams. though the
Kendall Greeners have had more
practice and more veteran material
from which to draw. About the only
member of previous eleven that
Catholic University has on the field Is
Glascott, halfback.
Maryland State is listed to meet
Western Maryland in Baltimore. but
most any kind of shift in the sched-
ule of Maryland colleges may be ex-
pected at the meeting of the athletic
directors of Maryland colleges in Bal

University chemical welfare unit:
The game will mark the opening OF
he service league and should draw

one of the first games of the season.
Washington and Jefferson will
journey to Pittsburgh for one OF the
two big western Pennsylvania
elevens always put up a great hght,
and it is expected that their meet
ing this season will be productive of
about as good foot ball as may be
seen any time during the year. Wash
majority of it's 1917 players and
Pitt has nearly whole team in Nc
Iaren, one of the country'S star full
backs of a season ago.
Rutgers and Penn State are book

Usually a game between these two
schools would attract wide atten-
ton, and even this year 1T is Of gen

eleven of the caliber of Rutgers.
LAFAYETTE is due for a trip down
to Philadelphia to meet the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. The former mas
