Evening star., 1921-10-25


George Washington will be under the
guidance Of a new captain. Bailey
Springston, quarterback and half
hack, who has been one of the main
stays of the eleven since the Hatch
cities went back to foot ball, was
chosen leader just before the game
with Drexel Institute at Philadelphia
last week. Springston, besides being
a mighty capable player, is a man of
excellent judgment and personality
and well fitted to head the team.
Hatchetites May Not BE Easy.
While the Hilltoppers, in view OF
their impressive victory over Holy
Georges Washington. they are not
likely to do so at will. The Hatch
cities are not small by any means
and imbued with the spirit that al
ways dominates George Washington
teams in engagements with George
town representatives are likely to
put up a terrific battle. The game
should be one we'll worth seeing.
Catholic University probably is in
for another defeat this week, for
Bucknell, despite persistent gloomy
reports emanating from its camp. has
gone along quite we'll so far against
teams rated higher than the Brook
1anders. Furthermore. Catholic Uni
Versity will not be able to send its
full strength into the engagement.

best of condition.
Maryland held a light workout yes
terday for those who went through
the game Saturday with Virginia
Tech. and a hard drill for all the men
who did not play then. With the ex-
ception of McQuade and Nisbet. who
were given a complete rest. the en-
tire Maryland squad was on the field
for the first time since before the
Rutgers game. Bailey and Clark were
out watching closely new plays, but
neither had on a suit. Both Will get
into uniform tomorrow or THURSDAY.
Two EIevens Travel North.
Two southern elevens go north this
week and one, Georgia Teen, propa-
bly, will take part in one of the

Princeton has lost two consecutive
games. but that does not mean 1t IS
not strong. Chicago this year Is
rated as one of the great eieVens y,
the middle west and Navy is halleo
as one of the most versatile ana
nowerful combinations anywhere, yet
Navy could not cross princeton

are Penn State could not defeat Rut,

Georgia Tech. That does not mean
that Georgia Tech will beat Penn
State, but it does mean that 1t has
at least an even chance.
The game at New York will give q
rare opportunity to Judge the worth
Of two kinds of shifts. Penn state
and Georgia Tech rely for their
ground gaining mainly on shift plays
Penn states involves only the back
field and Georgia Techs both the
backffeld and line. Virginia Poly
