TWO MORE GAMES
OF INTEREST HERE
G. U. Plays W. and l.. Nov. ~
and Catholic U. Meets Mary
land State Next Week.
BY II. T.. BYRD.

Only two more foot ball games of
real interest are to be staged here
this season. Georgetown is to play
one when 1t meets Washington and
Lee November -. and catholic Uni
versity the other against Maryland
State week from next Saturday. No
vember Is.
GeorgetoWn's contest with Wash
ington and Lee will give the Blue
ana Gray an opportunity to earn I'M
disputed right to the south Atlantic
championship. IL the Lexingtonians
are defeated there will be no other
eleven strong enough to refute the
| claims of the !IilItoppers to titular
honors. And probably Georgetown
will beat Washington and Lee. be
cause the latter barely won from
Virginia Polytechnic by 3 to last
week, and nobody doubts George
towns clear superiority over the
Elacksburs collegians.
Foot ball followers here well re-
| member the kind of hattles-not
but usually resulting in several cas-
| ualtfes-C Catholic University and
Maryland State put up in 1914, 1915
and 1916. State won in 1914 by to
0. lost in 1915 by 16 to 0. and won
again In 1916 by IS to .. State so
rar TINS season seems to have been
stronger than the Brook la nders. but
it is a good bet that when the two
elevens face next week there will be
about as hot a struggle as usually is
seen.
Only one game is to be staged here
/ this week, Western MARYLAND being
| listed to face Gallaudet at Kendall
Green. The Westminster eleven has
not been very successful. and prob
ably VIII not afford any great oppo-
! sition to the local collegians. Gal
! laudet has been playing good foot
| ball all season. and it's supporters be
| lieve it will win from the visitors.
| Maryland States squad is to leave
here Friday night for Annapolis
where it is to meet the st. Johns
eleven Saturday morning. The State
squad will be compelled to play the
game minus one of its regular tackles
-Nesbit. That player left College
| Park last night for Savannah. Ga.
called there by the death of his uncle
1t is almost certainty that he will
not get back in time to play against
the Annapolis team. His place will
be filled by Edel, who weighs only
| one pound less than Nisbet, and Ms
| bet weighs POI. The remainder of
the lineup of the Maryland eleven
will be the same as that which ap-
/ pcdi GU die last WEEK. eA
| cept that Barall will be at right half
| in place of Gilbert.
| Georgetown will leave here shortly
| before noon Saturday for it's contest
| with the Navy. The Blue and Gray
| plans to carry the attack right to the
| Navy from the start of the contest
| and give the Midd;es as little chance
! as possible to hammer their line
| GeorgetoWns campaign Saturday will
| be much the same as that OF the old
Indian teams. which is summed VI
in get the ball and keep it,
No lineup for the Navy game has
as yet been officially announced by
Georgetown. so it is not known
| whether the line will be radically diff
! ferent from what it was two weeks
| ago when University of Detroit ham
| racred it unmercifully. Much work
! has been done with that line. though
aud ii may be expected to play a
great deal better foot ball against
! the Midshipmen than in any oE the
previous contests.
Business and Eastern meet tomor-
row in the high school series. The
team which loses probably will go
