never quoted in the papers because he
very little ever comes about him in the
news dispatches from Annapolis.
One need not doubt that the game
will be brilliant. Fine charging and
hard, sure blocking: great broken field
running backs and hard driving plung-
ing backs, accurate forward passing-in
, fact. everything which goes to make up
good foot ball should be seen.
Will Battle on Saturday.
And i, really is unfortunate that such
good game as the Holy
Cross clash promises to be probably will
not receive the attention that the game
sould justify. mainly because the
Penn StateNavy game is likely to over
shadow it in the pubic estimation. But
need not fear that the George
town. Holy Cross game will suffer a
whole lot by comparison with the Navy
Penn State struggle. Georgetown has a
powerful team and Holy Cross usually
is one of the strong elevens Of New
England and able to hold It's own with
the best of that section.
George Washington and Gallaudet
will stage their annual battle at
Kendall Green. and. of course. will
not be very largely considered by the
general foot ball public. However,
both teams will have staid supporters
who will see the contest.
Two big games are listed in the
south Atlantic section for Saturday
ton and Lee at Charlottesville In the
more important. and Maryland goes
to Blacksburg to play Virginia Poly
technic Institute in the other. And
as things shape UP right now 1t seems
that Washington and Lee and V. P. I.
L. II
Lee has been playing fine foot ball
and Virginia has been doing better
than in recent years. but not as well
as the Lexington institution. Mary
land has whipped Virginia Poly
technic Institute the last two years.
but right now V. p. I. seems to have
the best team in it's history. while
Maryland must recover from its stale
ness if it Is to show real form against
the cksburg outfit.
Washington and Lee has defeated
Virginia only once. Back in 1907
the Generals won at Charlottesville
by s to 5. and that year break came
which was never patched up until
last winter. when base ball games
were scheduled last spring and agree
ment reached to stage foot ball games
under home-and-home arrangement.
Washington and Lee played all the
games at Charlottesville until it won
1
Lexington was refused and that
caused the disruption of athletic re-
lationshtps.
