Virginia would be to hold 1t to Sn
Georgetown excepted. it was felt at
the beginning of the. year that Vir-
Hinia Polytechnic Institute and Cni-
versity of North Carolina would be
the strong teams of the section. and
so far they have made good, but both
must look we'll to their future if they
are to maintain the supremacy they
seek and have won so far TINS ran
" p l. will have its troubles with
Washington and Lee. Notwithstanding
that at the beginning of the season
1t seemed that nothing short OF
miracle could produce victory Tor
tho latter In the annual contest at
I,ynchburg and North Carolina has
vet to defend its prestige against Vir-
ginia and Maryland, and in neither
contest is the Tarheel team likely to
have anything that savors of easy
sailing.
-Four games tl. ...eI. should give
further line on the championship
prospects. Maryland Journeys to
Chapel Hill for its annual setto with
North Carolina. and there is not much
difference between the two elevens.
Virginia goes to Baltimore to play
Hopkins, and despite Virginia's pres
tiKe on the gridiron and the fact that
Hopkins never has accomplished as
much as has been hoped for it many
that game this week should be an
even contest.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute comes
here to meet Catholic University and
should win. The game at Norfolk be-
tween Virginia Military Institute and
North Carolina state should be eN-
ceptionally well played. and the for
mer is going to be compelled to work
hard to defend its laurels, lately won
against Virginia
Catholic University returned from
its game with Nillanova in good
shape and is going to spend the week
getting ready for the contest with
rector, and Coach Dooley expressed
themselves this morning as being
well pleased with the results OF the
game last week and said that although
Villanova won. the Brooklanders
played it practically an even contest
from the starting whistle until the
final toot.
GEORGETOWN won from Fordham by
a small margin that perhass many
thought would be the result. probab bly,
because 1t used many second-string
men during part of the contest and
because it was against d stronger
outfit than Fordham was given credit
for possessing. The Blue and Gray
got a good lead and did not mind
just so the points did not endanger
victory it desired.
University of Maryland took beat
ing at the hands of Princeton. which
was nothing more nor less than those
in close touch with the team ex-
neoted. It came out of the game in
fairly good shape. only one man suf-
fering from an injury. which may
keep him out for week or ten days.

Incidentally, there is more to that
Princeton eleven than those who have
been taking to heart the gloomy press
stories that have come from Nassau $
halls have any thought of. The
Tigers have a team. team that today

Of sea ason ago at this time. 1t should
be a dangerous Tiger that faces Yale
on November IS, and all the more dan
gerous in that it IS something of a
sleeping Tiger that Yale players think
they will face.
Despite the precision and machine
like play and speed of Georgia Tech.
Navy's fine eleven won victory that
was more decisive even than the score
indicates. The Tech shift. which has
won for the Atlanta institution ma
tion-wide renown during the last five
years, was not effective. the Middies'
big linennen stopping it by their eftec.
tive counter-shifts and by brilliant
charging. Had it not been for the eff
fectiveness of Red Barron, Georgia
Techs star halfback. the offensive ef-
forts of the losers would have been
nil. And Barron was not small part
of his teams defense.
The game from a standpoint of
Washington foot ball fans demon
strated two things. First. that
