success Our main objectives are
with Buffalo University at Buffalo
and with Catholic University at
Brookland. And as for our other
games, it seems TO me that. barring
injuries. we have an even chance in
each of them"
The Hatchetites are not trying to
conceal their feeling that they eX-
pect to win from st. Joseph's in their
final stand at home. The Philadel-
phians have been playing good foot
ball. it is said. but the Buff and Blue
eleven has been coming along rapid
ly and is figuring on nothing other
than a victory.
Every big foot ball team in the
South Atlantic section will go against
n strong opponent this week, six of
the teams in games among them
selves and two against elevenS repre-
senting Pennsylvania institutions
Georgetown faces Bucknell at Ameri-
can League Park and University of
Virginia goes to Philadelphia for its
first appearance against Pennsylvania
In 20 years. Games between teams in
the section are those in which Mary
land appears against North Carolina
University at Chapel Hill. Virginia
Military Institute against North Car
olina State at Richmond. and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute against Wash
iugton and Lee at Lynchburg.
Georgetown probably will defeat
Bucknell. At least ii seems to stand
an excellent chance of doing.
Bucknell is not strong rs it was
a year ago, while the Blue and Gray
Is stronger.
Virginia is pretty sure to lose to
Penn. as any Southern eleven that
goes north for a game with a big
school is on the short end of the
odds.
Virginia Military Institute seems
TO have the edge on North Carolina
State. while Virginia Polytechnic and
Washington and Lee, North Carolina
and Maryland give every indication
of being pretty evenly matched.
Maryland probably will not have
any of its injured backs in shape TO
play against North Carolina. Tenney
still is in hospital with a broken
ankle RpSlaN tried n 1et into signal
practice yesterday afternoon, but did
not show much indication that he
might be in shape to play Saturday,
and Osborn and Pugh. who started
the year in the halfback positions,
were not on the field.
Just who will start in the back
field against the Carolnians is not
known. Hall and Heine are about
the only two who are certain to be
back on the line. Who the other two
places will go to is just about a
question until the day of the game.
Catholic University is to play it's
foot ball game this week with West
ern Maryland at Hanover, Pa. The
BrooklanderS expect to take the long
end of the score from the Green
eleven. their team being in excellent
shape following the week of easy
work.
GalIaudet has another home game
this week, being booked to face Drex-
eI Institute. The Drexel eleven was
beaten by George Washington and the
Kendall Greeners feel they can turn
the same trick.
Bill House. former Technical High
School player. is holding down regu-
lar position at guard for Penn State.
While not playing a fashy game,
House is said to be putting up about
as consistently good performance as
any coach should desire.
BuckneIl. which plays GEORGETOWN
here Saturday, is coached by Charley
Moran. who made great reputation
for himself and for Centre College.
Moran's failure to do we'll this year
at BuckEell as he did at Centre Col.
1ege probably is due to absence of as
good material as he had at the Ken
lucky institution.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute is due
to lose two of it's good backs this
year by graduation. The departure
of one of them especially, Rutherford,
will not be mourned. a good deal by
the University of Maryland. In two
seasons rutherford has scored five
drop-kicks against the Marylanders,
three last year and two last Satur-
day. The other back is Roberts, who
is not especially good as dodger,
but is very fast. Last Spring he was
clocked in three 100-yard races in
10 seconds, which speed. transferred
to a foot ball field, is omething that
all coaches want, but seldom find.
Johns Hopkins il said to have
another good defensive foot ball
team, despite it's failure against
Pittsburgh last week. On Pittsburgh's
six fumbles Hopkins recovered the
ball each time. and it's covering of
Eunts by it's ends and tackles was
brilliant 1t was simply impossible
for the Pitt men to stop the Hopkins
end and left tackle getting down the
field, and punts were returned much
better than anybody would have
thought possible. Hopkins also has
much larger team. Its line is big
ger and ita backfield much more
capable. The one lack in its backfeld
last season, a heavy plunger, seems
to have been filled by Blandi. former
Hill School star.
