Grid Menu Saturday

Georgetown, Maryland University,
George Washington University,
Catholic University and Gallaudet
College are all scheduled to play
again tomorrow afternoon. George
town will play West Virginia Wes-
leyan at American League Park,
Catholic University will tackle
Muhlenberg College of Pennsylva-
MIA on Killian Field out in Brook
land. Maryland University will take
on Washington College at College
Park, George Washington Univer-
sity goes over to West Virginia
University, and Gallaudet College
will take long jaunt up to Selins-
grove, Pa, to play SusquehannA
University. The games played OH
local gridirons will get started at
the same time-3 o'clock.
Georgetown will have their work
cut out for them if they expect
to defeat the churchmen from West
Virginia, especially since several OF
their stars are in bad shape. With
Ward. O'ConneH and Formosa on
the injured list, and the fact that
Leighty is not yet in any condition
to stand a hard contest, the Blue
and Gray eleven will have to de-
pend on Jack Flavin and Gus NAL
ley to do the bulk of the work on
the offeuse. The Hilltoppers are not
taking any more chances of pos
sible injury to the regulars and
have indulged in only the lightest
kind of practice for the past few
days.
Catholic Meets Strong Foe.
Catholic University is going up
against a stiff proposition when they
face Muhlenberg, the latter having
met such foes as Penn State, and
last Saturday winning from AL
bright. The visitors are big husky J
bunch of farmers weighing from
tackle to tackle, $50 pounds to a
man. 1t is understood that they
have a fast and tricky back field
that is expected to keep the Red and
| BI1 K eleven on the alert every sec
! ond of the game. The farmers will
arrive in the city tonight with twen-
| ty-four men in the squad, two
coaches and a rubber. Coach Phil
Robb had loag signal practice yes
| terday and taught his charges some
! of the formations and plays that
are still winning for the team on
/ which the coach was a star. Nc
| Namara, who was injured severely
in last weeks contest is not expect
ed to get into the game against
Muhlenberg and his loss will be a
. severe one as he has been running
| the team at quarter, and playing a
great game.
Although West Virginia Univer-
sity was humiliated last Saturday by
! Pittsburg, 1t is more than likely
that George Washington University
is in for a trimming as they are
considerably lighter than West Vir-
ginia and lack the experience of the
Mountaineers. Coach Morse's charges
are improving with every game and
will put up a stiff fight against their
heavier opponents. The addition of
Kay in the back field, who weighs
around 10 pounds will give the
Hatchetites a pretty fair oombina-
tion back of the line. Tho work of
Springston, McAllister and Wilmer
in last Saturdays game against Del
aware was a big improvement and
with Kay, who is much heavier than
either of the lads mentioned help
ing them out, they should be able to
gain lot of ground. The Freshman
team goes to Norfolk tomorrow to
play Hampton Roads Naval Base.
Maryland Has Easy Game.
Maryland University ought to be
able to run up a big score against
Washington College, who are no
match for Curley Byrd's experienced
team. As this is a State affair,
played in order to determine the
State championship. the university
will make big effort to run away
with the visiting eleven, as the lat
ter play Johns Hopkins, who are
the only real contenders for the
honor, late in the season. 1t is
probable that Coach Byrd win give
a number of his second string men
chance to show their worth and
1t Is just possible that another star
may shine enough to give him a
chance as a regular.
