own teams to foreign fields.
Georgetown will probably have the
fastest eleven in the District The
Hllltoppers' one strong opponent here
Will be Fordham, and after the Bronx
brigade finishes its contest n with
Major Cavanaugh's Boston College
eleven in Brooklyn on October 80, IL
may have little to offer week later
at Georgia avenue
There is this. to be considered,
though-Fordham and Georgetown
have rivalry running back wears and
wears. II Ia also likely tnat they may
lie about on par as to ability. 1t
is this which makes for good football
games, rivalry and equal strength
Therefore, the Georgetown. Fordham
game may be well worth seeing.
Others DO Nothing.
The other Washington elevens, Cath.
Ollie University, George Washington
and Gallaudet. will do nothing toward
bringing strong teams to the Capital
for games. C. Z. brings to Brooklsnd
such ordinary teams as Mt. st. Mary's
and Villanova.
The Hatchetites will bring Western
Maryland which Is nothing at all to
worry about Gallaudet plays most
OF it's games away,
There is no criticising spirit in thus
disposing of the local elevens thus
briefly IL is a fact, though, that
tordham will be the one fairly strong
eleven TO come from any distance TO
Washington for a football game this
fall.
But the local eleyens will journey
10 other fields for contests with strong
opponents and IL the local bugs are
wild enough, they may easily Journey
along with their favorites. In that
way they will be able to see many
good teams in action.
WI Play Virginia.
For instance, George Washington
will open its campaign at Charlottes-
vile, Va, battling the Orange and
Blue. Virginia has not played here
since 1918, when relations with George
town were severed following the fourth
straight defeat for the Charlottesville
contingent. It's possible that Vir-
ginia may yet appear in Washington
againet George Washington, but the
Buff and Blue will have TO improve
considerably over last year 10 bring
that about.
George Washington plays Catholic
University and Georgetown in it's most
important games and, after all is said
and done, those foemen should make
for much better contests than some
of the more powerful teams from
abroad.
Georgetown, though, will tackle for.
midable teams away from home when
il goes TO Worcester, Mass, to play
Holy Cross on October %, TO Atlanta,
Ga, to meet Georgia Tech on Novem-
Der IL and on November 10 to Boston
TO tackle Boston college. The widest
Georgetown rooter, IL he takes In
those three games away from home,
should he satisfied for the year.
Maryland Is Ambitious.
Maryland University is, for all prac.
teal purposes. Washington institu,
ton, and 80 it may be said to bring
here the greatest number OF strong
foes THIS season, Many Capitolians
will watch Maryland and North Caro-
lima State hook up in Baltimore on
Turkey Day.
The College Parkers are most amli-
tious this fall and IL you want to see
them battling some OF the best, why
YOU may go with them to New Bruins.

October /; to Syracuse, n. Y, a weak
later for the Syracuse clash! to New
Haven. Conn, on November 8 for the
contest with Yale, and to Pittsburgh
on November Ia for the battle with
Carnegie Tech.
Maryland's football schedule this
season ranks heavier than the Hill
loppCrs, oven with the latter meeting
Georgia Tech, Holy Cross, Fordham
and Boston College. Rutgers, SYRIA
Cuse, Carnegie Tech and Yale rather
overmatch the four teams mentioned
On tho EIiltoppers' schedule ST.
Johns, V. +. l., North Carolina Uni
vcrsity and North Carolina state seem
stronger foes than Lebanon Valley,
Ursinus, Westminster, George Wash,

Navy Schedule Good.
The Navy schedule is attractive for
Washingtonians who like to risk life,

over to Annapolis. Here 1t is: Oct, ],
