Thanksgiving will see the end OF
local college football, but the games
In prospect on Turkey Day are among
the best which Washington gridiron
fans will be treated to this sea-
son. Each OF the two games TO be
staged in Washington. between
Georgetown and Bethany, and Cath

ireton. are expected to bo AMONG
the fastest and most closeIy fought
Of the year. In addition there Is
considerable interest among District
fans in the clash in Baltimore be-

State
The Bethany eleven. which Is down

West Virginia team is a heavy one.
besides having a wide assortment
OF open plays. Georgetown, which
has never been able to regain the
form which was shown in the Ford
ham tilt. seems due to get the sur
prise Of its life. IL Bethany Is rated
too lightly.
Last Saturday, Bethany rolled up
SIS points on West Virginia Wesley
an, and won under wraps at that
Although 1t is the first appearance
Of BuhIand's men here this season,
they are not altogether unknown In
Washington. Playing Georgetown
last year. they forced the Hilltoppers
to the limit to win by n 14-to-7 score.
The George Washington-Cathol

Central Stadium, will start at 1880
In order that the fans may get
away in time to eat Thanksgiving
dinner, or else take a jaunt over
to the ball park to see the George
town game.
The Board Of Education of the
District has extended the institu-
lions the courtesy of the field, ana
in return high school students will
be invited to attend.
Though neither team has had a
particularly successful season. they
are evenly matched. and will be
especially primed for Thursdays
game. Last years struggle was .
nip-and-tuck AFFAIR, with Catholic
gaining the verdict in the last few
minutes OF play. when Bobby De-
nsult intercepted a forward pass
and raced 80 yards for a touchdown.
At this time the Hatchetites, with
the score to against them, were
on Catholics 12-yard line. and
looked to be well on their way to .
touchdown
By starting play at 1890 the
teams figure on not only drawing
their own following, but expect to
have large attendance from fans
who will wish to see both OF the
holiday attractions. Neither team
figured in games last Saturday. and
both have been directing their eff
forts for the past week toward per-
fecting their play for Thursdays
game.
George Washington puts its main
reliance on a forward passing at
tack. and the Brooklanders are no
nOvices with the aerial game. As
4 result. the engagement should de-
velop open play of the most sensa-
tional kind.
The game in Baltimore between
Maryland and North Carolina State
may be regarded as a toss-up. From
one angle the College Parkers have
the edge, as the result of their 10
to- victory over Virginia Poly
tech. which team took the measure
of the Tarheels, Z to }. On the
other hand. North Carolina Univer-
sity, a team which defeated the
Byrdmen, 16 to :. was forced to
accept the short end of 7-to-0
verdict at the hands of the North
Carolina State.
The Maryland SQUAD came
through Saturdays engagement
with Carnegie Tech in good shape,
with the exception of a bruised
shoulder suffered by Joe Burger.
This injury is hardly expected to
keep the husky linesman out of
the game Thursday
