! Mt. St. Mary's Is said to be very
light, but fast and tricky. Gallaudet

Georgetown will be up against a
much more powerful eleven than IL
has yet faced this season. The Blue
| and Gray meets the West Virginia
| Wesleyan team and probably will
have to put up its best game in order
| to get away with a victory. Exendine

best elevens in Georgetown's gridfron
history. and 1t seems sure that the

Probably they will present q heavy
aggregation Of players. well drilled
| in the fundamentals Of foot ball. Ex-

| lightly and Is working with the idea
that his team is going TO face the
strongest kind Of opposition.

Maryland State man, who watched the
Virginia Richmond College game Sat
urday. in which Virginia was held
o to 0. says that there is plenty OF
strong eleven and that he looks for
the team to develop rapidly. While
! neither eleven was able to score last
week. Virginia gained just about
enough ground to net 1t three touch
downs, fumbles and misplays costing
it the bali that number of times on
Richmond's 5-yard line.
There is no doubt that State. with
a little polishing up Of the secondary
defense; is going to be s, hafd TO- nut
little Of mistake, as the secondary
defense will stand a great deal of
| polishing before 1t reaches really
high standard of play. With Vir-
ginia developing rapidly this week
| and presenting a heavy eleven, and
| with the weak spots in States sec

other than a great game should re-
| suit from the meeting at Charlottes-
willie Saturday.
| Purdue seems unable to get going
in foot ball. Saturday 1t was played

ever or whatever Franklin College Is,
a university Of Purdue's size to an
even count on the gridiron.

1t will take sust about one year of
college foot ball to make Koogle, a
younester playing halfback on Mary

the best halfbacks in the section. He
has ali the natural requisites of a
rood back but knows practically
nothing about the game.
University of North Carolina was
whipped by Rutgers Saturday by ls
to o. but played good foot ball. ac-
cording to reports Of the game. The
Tarheels expect to stand an even
chance with any other eleven for the
south Atlantic championship.
Yale did not run up as big a score
on the Springfield Y. NJ c. A. Train
ing College as was expected. espe-
cialy after the 4o-to-0 defeat of the
latter a. the hands of Dartmouth
week ago. Two touchdowns and
two xoais from the field were Yale's
total, which was not particularly
gratifying to the Dark Blue.
wheelock, former Carlisle Indian
School halfback, was the star Of the
Norfolk Navy Yard eleven against
Georgetown Saturday. The navy men
presented a much heavier combina-
tion against the Blue and Gray than
was expected, and At times showed
good foot ball. Georgetown's vic
tory, however, by a good score was
expected.
