Pennsylvania. apparently at the
top of the Eastern foot ball pile,

an opponent which should be fairly
easy for it, but it is more than likely
THAT Georgetown Will be anything
but a ''cinch.''
Penn undoubtedly will go into the
game with some little feeling of
lassitude. no matter how much its
coaches may cajole. while George
town is just as sure to go into the
contest with the determination to do
or die. That difference in the state
of mind means a good deal more than
anybody. except the coaches, knows.
On the Pacific Coast, University of
California, which has held almost un-
disputed sway. during the last four
years, goes to Seattle to play Wash
1ngton. The name by which the
Washington eleven is known on the
coast is the HuSkieS. and their teams
usually measure up to it. California
Sridiron battle.
Down South. University of Florida
and Tulane. and probably Georgia
and Alabama, rated as the leading
sleVens, are not going to have things
easy Florida. as the representative
eleven of the South, appears at West
Point against Army. 1t should give
the Army a terrific battle, but the
margin of the cleverness of Wilson
should be deciding factor. Wilson
is the type of Il back against which
fIorlda men have not been used to
meeting. Tulane faces Auburn,
Georgia plays at Virginia and Ala
oana meets Kentucky. Georgia.
Alabama and Tulane seem proba Bile
victors
The Enme Mt Charlottesville between
Virginia and Georgia appears to be
the most important in the South At
lantlc section and one of the most i'm
portant in the south. 1t is a game in
which South Atlantic foot ball will
get good test against far Southern
variety, and from that alone should
be interesting. Georgia ought to win,
as its record this year is far better
than that of Virginia. The Crackers
have about the best team they have
ever turned out. Virginia has been
haVing its troubles
Some local eleven is missing q hot
oy not playing here tomorrow. all

Georgetown and Maryland have their

time for the opening whistle tomor-
row. Coach Little took the entire
squad along.
Msryland's squad leaves tonight
for New Haven. 1t will hold its last
practice at College Park this after
noon The squad is in rnuch better
physical shape than for any game
1t has played in the last month.
Students have been leaving Mary
land since yesterday morning on their
way to Yale, and it seems that
considerable depopulation will take
place both from the College Park
colleges of the university and from
the schools of the University in
Baltimore. Maryland students ap-
piled to the administrative author
tiles of the university for a holiday
to attend the game at New Haven,
which was refused with the state
ment that while no holiday would
be given any student or students
who were up in their work and could
make satisfactory arrangements with
their professors might go. One of
the deans remarked this morning
that lit certainly is astonishing how
many of our students think they are
in splendid Standing
GEORGETOWN students and alumni

train which leaves at $50 am. 1t is
estimated that at least a thousand
members of the student body and
alumni will be on the train. The stu
dent band is to make the trip. and
Blue and Gray adherents are deter
mined to make a fine showing on
Franklin Field.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute

North Carolina has too good line to
be defeated very easily by any team
that it faces.

only big South Atlantic school that

to play Citadel.
Catholic University and Gallaudet

ever, George Washington is not likely
TO have things very easy.
