anybody over.
Much of what Georgetown's success
will be depends on the quality of
its generalship. If the Blue and Gray
takes advantage of all its opportuni-
ties the Army men will have a hard
time of it. One thing, though, there
is, of which Georgetown may be as
Sured right now-that the afternoon
Will not be of the pink tea variety.
That Army eleven is not the gentlest
in the world, not by any means.
Tarheels Have Real Team
Maryland is to he against real
foot ball team in North Carolina.
According to all statements of those
that have watched the teams play.
the Tarheels are stronger than Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. one
thing sure about tomorrow's game,
though. is that, win or lose, Mary
land will not make the same mis-
takes it did against V. 2. l. North
Carolina is a team that makes few
mistakes of any kind. and it usually
is made up of the sturdiest kind of
material.
In the North Carolina backfield are
two brilliant backs, Mcdonald, quar-
terback. and Randolph. halfback.
Both are splendid open-tield runners,
and Mcdonald is especially good In
throwing a forward pass. 1t might
be mentioned in this connection that
North Carolina gave North Carolina
State a good whaling without the
services of either Randolph or Rob

Maryland will have two changes
in its lineup. Groves, regular quar-
terback for the last three years. Will
start the game in that position, and
Brewer is to be at right guard in
Hough's place.
Three Washington institutions play
their Saturday games on foreign
fields. Catholic University goes to
Providence. Z. l., to meet Providence
College; George Washington makes
the trip to Norfolk to face the Guam
tico Marines and Gallaudet appears
at Philadelphia in contest with
st. Joseph's. Gallaudet and Catholic
University seem to have fair chances
to win, while the Hatchetites can
hope for nothing better than a good
showing. Coach Quigley would have
to perform the next thing to miracle
to take the measure of the Quantico
aggregation.
Practically nIi colleges in the
south Atlantic section play hard
games In addition to the two con-
tests here. Virginia meets much
more difficult foe in Trinity than it
anticipated when it scheduled the
game; Washington and Lee and V.
P J. stage their annual setto at
a
Virginia Military Institute face at
Lexington.
While many foot ball games sched-
uled in the north and west are likely
to result in easy victories for one or
the other of the contending elevens,
several contests are to be played be-
tween teams which usually are about
a match for each other Especially
Is this true of three major northern
struggles and also of several others
of lesser Importance. Hardly any
stage could be better set for the
meeting of Penn State and West Vir-
ginia at New York. West Virginia.
victor over Pittsburgh, and Penn
State, winner from the Navy, make a
hitting contest for the big Gotham
ball park.
Princeton and the Navy, although
the edge is taken off their game
through defeats suffered last week
by both, should take part in a well
played and close game at Baltimore.
Harvard entertains an old-time foe
in Dartmouth in a game that long
has been one of New England's great
est grid struggles.
Centre College makes another trip
north In an effort to keep up the good
work it did against Harvard. This
time it meets Pennsylvania. Yale
has a game with Brown. and Lafay-
ette and Rutgers should put up some
thing worth while for gridiron
epicures.
A contest In which southern people
generally should be much interested
is that between Georgia Tech and
Notre Dame at South Bend. Last year
Notre Dame won at Atlanta by a
small margin. This fall, however,
Georgia Tech seems to be weaker
than usual, while Notre Dame is
stronger.
In the middle west the big game
seems to be that between Minnesota
and Wisconsin. Both possess more
powerful elevens than usual. but
whatever pre-game margin there Is
appears to lie with Wisconsin, Ne
braska and Missouri also offer their
annual treat to their followers.
