one phase of the game not much
considered. but which may play
big part. is the fact that Penn un-
4oubtediy was keyed up to play its
best against Lafayette. And any
team that is keyed up for game
IN any week is just sure to have
a period of relaxation the week fol-
lowing and for its following game
as daX is to follow night.
Sometimes that relapse is sufficient
TO give, the other team victory. espe-
cially if the other eleven is keyed up to
play its best. In short. if Penn is
inclined psychologically to take
things a little easy and Georgetown
goes into the contest with a deter
nination not to be beaten. then Penn
had better look well to the laurels
II already has Won.

Notre Dame has been through some
hard games and may have trouble
despite the fact Wisconsin is not by
