The Georgetown Tulsa game will
provide Washington with its only
real fntersectlcnal clash of the sea-
son, and unless the Hilltoppers show
marked Improvement they may be in
TOT rough afternoon with the Okla
homanS. 1t seems that this Tulsa
Team is regarded rather highly in the
southwest although reports concern
ing Its performances have been some
what meager during the season.
However, the Oklahomans have not
resitated to speak Well of themselves
through II publicity agent 1t appears
that Tulsa. since 1916. has lost but
three games and last year was the
Acknowledged champion OF the south

an unmarried slate. Tulsa's biggest
triumph was the victory registered
over the Texas Aggies, cOuquerors
Of Bo McMillin's Centre team, at the
Dallas State Fair.

This years Tulsa team Is captained
by James (ChieD Herndon, Choc-
taw Indian. He is a guard and gem
orally regarded as one OF the best
forwards in the southwest. Another
noted performer is Bat Shunatona,
known as the Flying Pawnee. He
has startled onlookers with his spec
tacular broken field running.
All told. It would seem that George
town is in for an interesting Satur-
day afternoon. However. the Hill
toppers are not discouraged by their
are working diligently for their last
home contest. Although beaten,
Georgetown gave a good account Of
itself against Bucknell last week and
may be expected to put up another
good battle against the Tulsans.
While Maryland on past perform
ances rates much stronger than Cath
Ollie University. their battle Saturday
is likely to be something of real
contest. The Rrooklanders, however
inferior they may seem. never fail TO
rise to the occasion when the College
Parkers are encountered. Several
times Maryland has entered the an
nual fray an Overwhelming faNorlte,
only to find itself against stern foe.
Both squads are being carefully
groomed for the test. Although the
varsity at College Park was given
rest yesterday, it will get into har-
ness today and receive some strenu-
Gus drilling. All except a trio of reg
ulars are in good condition physically.

first string men are rapidly deVeiop-
ing varsity form.

it's strongest combination Of the year

In addition to the game; there Will

stronger than any other it has faced
this season, with the exception of
the Marines. when It goes to Gettys-
burg The Battlefield eleven has
been stepping alOnS at Il ilNeiS Idle
this season. 1t has developed
strong offensive that last week
bowled over Lebanon Valley by
treme ndous score. The Kendall
Greeners, however. are a plucky lot
that should make Gettysburg fight
for every point.
George Washington Is to devote
the time before the Hopkins engage
ment to ironing out defects in de-
fense that proved SO costly against
Delaware last week. The perform
ance of the Hatchetites was most
unsatisfactory, according to Coach
Quigley, who felt that his team might
have won had it played the game

drills will be given through Friday
that George Washington may be pre-
pared to show its wares to greater
advantage at Baltimore.
