on form QlSpldNeu IN games prior
to last week V. +. 1. and Maryland
probably would have been favored to
win, hut as the situation stands now
the chances are that the games VIII
be close and extremely hard fought.
In reality. no two games have been
scheduled in the section in a good
while in which all four teams had
such great incentive to give their best
during every second
Maryland and North Carolina State,
each with a checkered career. are
anxious to come through. North
Carolina State, with the eXhilaration
of a victory over V. 2. I. as an incen-
tive to keep up the good work. will
put up strenuous battle. while
Maryland, not yet defeated on its new
field. is not likely to desire that record
broken if it can prevent it.
Virginia also is in a position where
a win from V. P. /. would enable it
to enter its annual Thanksgiving day
game with North Carolina with con-
fidence and also would give it a good
standing at the end of the year If 1t
could also win the final game with
the Tarheels. Because after all. the
last couple of games of a foot ball
schedule are those that count as far
as the feeling at the end of the sea-
son is concerned.
V. Z. l., on the other hand. was
dark and elum at the end of its de-
feat by North Carolina State and a
little light in the way of the long end
of the score against Virginia would
help to brighten things conSidera bly,
around BlaCkSburg.
All in all. four teams have every
incentive to play fine foot ball and
when all teams have every incentive
to play 80 chances out of 100 real
foot ball games are going to result
Washington and Lee goes to West
Virginia to me ct the eleven represent
ing the university Of that State, the
contest being scheduled in Charles
ten. North Carolina University plays
Davidson at Davidson and should
win. Virginia Military Institute trav-
els to Lexington, KY, for a meeting
with University of Kentucky.
Georgctown's game with Third
Army Corps does not loom with pros
poets of as brilliant display of grid
iron fireworks as in the last two sea-
sons. Third Army Corps has been
much weaker than usual. having
fallen down in several departments.
1t is a we'll coached team. but unless
1t takes a decided brace and George
town d big slump the Blue and Gray
will emerge from the struggle at
gin in it's favor. Third Army Corps
simply does not have the men in the
line that it possessed a year ago,
though its backfield is fully as good
as it was then.
George Washington leaves early to-
morrow morning for Newark. Del,
where it is to meet the University of
Delaware. The Hatchetites have
made slight shift in their lineup.
sending McLain to quarterback In
place of Lamar. McLain proba bly, is
the lightest foot ball player on a col
lege team In this section. as he barely
tips the scales at 126 pounds. Levy
goes to the backield tomorrow in
place of Laux, which indicates that
the Hatchetites will not have their
strongest lineup on the field. at the
start at least With the exception Of
the way in which his ends have been
getting down under punts, Coach
Crum has been fairly we'll satisfied
with the progress of his team. He
has spent the week trying to improve
the play of his winCmen.
Gallaudet and Catholic University

and both are expected to triumph
The former will entertain Loyola of
Baltimore at Kendall Green and the
