il Is estimated TO be between 100000
and 100000.
These troops are under various "tu-

Two of the four foot ball games in
which teams of the District varsity
group are competing today are being
played on local fields. At American
League Park, Georgetown Is battling
with Holy Cross, a formidable rival. in

the field at Kendall Green at o'clock
for their annual tilt.
Georgetown has been pointing care
fully for today's fray. its second in
the Jesuit college title series. Ford

a victory over the Purple would leave
only Boston College in the path to
the championship. The Hub eleven

would suggest such team forward
pass right off. 1t seems to be its
sole chance to win or to show well.
Certainly. if it plays a running at
tack against it's opponent that will
wear it down and permit the oppo-
nent to crush it in the run of the game.
Its best chance is to >put across a
series of passes. That will open wide
the defense and also demoralize the
defense. And it permits the light
team to get away with runs finally.
What ] mean is best shown
by an actual example. In 1916 a
light Washington and Jefferson team
played heavy Yale. Washington
and Jefferson got such a break early
in the game-that is, obtained the
ball in Yale's territory. 1t knew Yale
expected a passing attack and re-
Trained from it. Consequently. Yale
crushed this team in the first half.
But in the second half. Washington
and Jefferson played a brilliant pass
ing game and scored two touchdowns
in four plays. Reasoning from that
basis, 1t Is the writer's opinion that
had Washington and Jefferson passed
at the start Yale might have become
demoralized and could have been de-
feated,
