poets for developing a strong eleven.
On basis of what the two schools
have been showing in the last few
years. Randolph Macon should not be
too strong for Maryland.
St. Johns College of ANNAPOLIS is
due here October to face George
town. 1t will be the opening game for
| the Annapolis eleven and, il as strong
as they bid fair to be on a judgment
of last season, should put up a suf-
fciently good game to put the Hill
foppers on edge for their contest with
North Carolina State the following
week. Maryland State is to meet
| Rutgers October 9 at New Brunswick
the first time in the history Of the two
institutions that an athletic engage

less to say that the Marylanders are
going to get all they want in the way
OF real foot ball on that October 2.
State to Play Princeton.
Maryland State goes north again on
| october 3, this time to stack up against
the wiles and strength of the Prince
ton Tiger. In 1917 State was on
Princeton's football schedule, but was
Cancelled because of war. The only
athletic contest in which the Mary
landers have met Princeton was in
| 1915, when they won a base ball game
at College Park by to 1. October
Georgetown plays its first big home
to journey to Washington. The North
Caroiinians play the Navy October
and to face Georgetown the following
week should give them about all the
foot ball they desire. 9W -
This will be the Raleigh teams first
appearance at Georgetown in three
years. Catholic University plans to
| open its season October 8 with Rich
mond College. The Brooklanders have
been giving consideration to the
but owing to the late beginning of
practice they get each fail II is doubt
ful II one Will be listed. Probably the
Brooklanders prefer to get some in
practice game for that date.
West Virginia Wesleyan is to be
Georgetown's opponent October rs on
the Hilltop gridiron, and Catholic
| University entertains Muhlenberg's
Ieleven at Brookland. Last fall George
! town won out in the last quarter in a
hard game with the West Virginians.
and Catholic University lost to Muh-
| fenberg in a contest in which ii clear
ly outplayed the Pennsylvanians This
is about the only date on Maryland
States schedule which is not definitely
fixed; authorities have been holding
off closing in order to make up their
minds whether or not they can afford
to list another hard contest then. or
it would be better to take on a smaller
school than one which has offered a
two-year contract.
C. U. Meets Lafayette.
October % will find C. u. at Lafay-
ette for the first foot ball game IL
has played against that school. 1T
| will be one of the most important
games on the Brooklanders' schedule,
in that 1t should determine in large
measure the kind OF competition II is
likely to get in that section in future
! seasons. While the date Is some
what in doubt. it is possible that the
University of Detroit will appear here
| against Georgetown. In fact, IL has
been announced on the Hilltop that
the date is practically closed. II De:
troit comes here it should prove Aabig
| attraction, because that school was
one of the three to whip the Blue and
Gray last fall.
Gallaudet and Catholic University
meet here October 80. while MARYLAND
State plays the University Of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Mary
landers and Tarheels have two
ter shall play In College Park In
| 1890. Georgetown is to 80 to New
| York on that Saturday or the follow
ing Tuesday. election day. for the an
| nua1 struggle with Fordham.
While Georgetown is at Annapolis
November 6, battling the Navy. Mary
land State and Catholic University
will meet here in their annual strug-
gle. Both games should be OF consid-
cradle importance to Washtngtonians.
| Georgetown's with the Navy always
| is awaited with much interest by
| those who follow the fortunes OF the
| gridiron, and the struggle between
Maryland State and Catholic Univer-
sity is fast becoming one OF the big
| games Of the section.
No Game Here November Ii.
| No game is scheduled here for No
vember Is, Georgetown being listed
to go to Atlanta to try to ayenge the
defeat it was handed by Georgia Tech,
Maryland State to make an attack
against Syracuse University and
Catholic University against Virginia
I Military Institute at Lexington No
! vember 13 would have been a good
date for either C. y. or State to ar
range game in Washington. but
| neither was able TO do 50. 1t seemed
for a while as il Syracuse would play
here with Maryland State instead of
| at Syracuse, but at the last minute
| the foot ball committee at Syracuse
turned down the proposition made by
the Marylanders and insisted that the
contest take place at Syracuse.
Washington and Lee again is to be
lGeorgetown's opponent on the Satur-
day previous to Thanksgiving day.
Last fairs game was exceptionally
| successful, especially as it was made
| attractive by Washington and Lees
| urday prior to it's trip. Georgetown
won. 27 to o. St Johns. which has
been on Maryland States schedule
every year since 1892. is to play at
Ollie University goes to ViIlanova for
its next biggest setto of the year.
Maryland State is the only eleven
scheduled to play on Thanksgiving
day SO far, the usual game with Hop
kins in Baltimore having been ae-
trying to book some team to come
to Washington. but it seems that 1t
| is q date on which all teams desire
to play on their home fields.
G. q. Goes to Boston Again.
Success of the GeorEetown-BoOton
College game at Boston last fall on
tho Saturday following Thanksgtvtng
has led to the scheduling Of the con-
test again. More than 10000 persons
are said to have attended in 1919 and
Ceorgetown authorities think that
should be doubled in 1890. Both big
Jesuit institutions, II seems logical that
there should be considerable rivalry be-
tween them.
