Virginia, drew the largest crowds to

not to play with the Blue and Gray
any, more. Their supporters are

Of those who have watched the work

its lineup. Young and Pollock played
at Central. Moore, Burger and Pugh
learned their football at Mckinley
Manual Brewer and Groves aer grad

former Eastern star. scholastic player.
No other college eleven in this vicinity
has so many Washington boys In its
squad. 80,
Georgetown Is Away.
Georgetown is playing at Worcester,
Mass, today. Coach Exendine's pu-
pills are especially confident Of win
ming from the strong Holy Cross
eleven, but they are intent on doing
what Harvard failed to do, cross the
Purple's goal line for at least one
touchdown. Holy Cross is said to
have a rock defense, but an offense
that the Hilltoppers may succeed in
stopping. In. that case, small score
may be the result of today's clash.
For those delighting in sheer
struggle there Is today's clash at
Killian field. Brookland. between the
sturdy teams of Catholic University
and VilIanova. Tho Brooklanders
are admittedly stronger than ever be-
fore. They have yet to show signs
of team work and an ability to use
their strength. But today may bring
the change and, in that case, Villa
nova will be opposing a verltable
whirlwind. Villanova's even strug-
gle with Fordham a week ago indi-
Gates a real contest today.
The. other two Washington elevens
are playing away from home today.
Bill Quigley took his Hatchetites to
Philadelphia for a game with Drexel
Institute, while Gallaudet tackles
Susuuehanna at Selinsyrove, Pa.
Next week George Washington will
tackle Georgetown at American
League Park. Quigley's lads hope to
be at their best for that game and
show the naughty Hilltoppers that
all the football in Washington isn't
played across the creek.
