NOW FOR A SLAUGHTER.
George WashinEton's first time OF
storm and stress IL booked for a
week from Saturday at Morgantown,
w. Va. The Buff and Blue is to
march out upon tho field and tackle
the Mountaineers. True. West Vir-
ginia was held to 7-to-7 tie by Le-
high, but the Bethlehem team is ad-
mittedly one OF the strongest in its
history. Furthermore, il was "point-
ed" for the West Virginia clash and
probably is disappointed in it's fail
ure to win.
The Hatchetites were "fleshed" in
the Western Maryland contest and
will have another test Saturday
when they tackle Delaware. With
that little experience they will go to
Morgantown prepared to fight to the
end, however bitter that may be. Della
Ware Is no slOuch of a team, either. as
its 10-to-O victory over Ursinus shows,
Ursinus a week earlier had triumph
ed over Rutgers, IA to Z.
No matter what the outcome, SO far
as scoring Is concerned, the Buff and
Blue is bound to benefit by meeting
Delaware. If only for the experience
needed before going up to Morgan
town. If West Virginia is sadly
shaken by its experiences at Pitts
burgh Saturday, it may have some
mercy on the George Washington ag-
gregation a week later.

won from the Middies, watch Lafa-

This is certain to be tough struggle.
as both teams are composed of well
