Evening star., 1925-11-13

one of the best OF the season here.
While not much is known of the
personnel of the Centre outfit. usually
that school has a heavy and versatile
combination. And Georgetown really
is hoping that Centre will put up
great game against il. as i knows
that its contest with Fordham in New
York a week hence demands 4 severe
test this week.
Centre usually has an adept eleven
IN the use of the forward pass, and
probably will hurl many against the
Tlue and Gray. because if its scouts
have found out anything they have
discovered that the forward wall they
must face is almost impregnable TO
consistent gains.
Georgetown's game probably will
partake of the nature of a combina
tion of running and passing. While
Centre is likely to depend mainly on
the latter.
just how strong the Washington
and Lee eleven is that will take the
field against Maryland is shown by
Its scores against other Southern Con
ference teams. Here is Washington
and Lees records for the three con
tests in which it has appeared against
conference opponents:
Washington and Lee. II; Virginia, 0.
Washington and Lee. 20: Y. j. l., 0.
Washington and Lee. %: kentucky. 0.
Two of the three teams which have
suffered ShutOuts at the hands of the
Generals have won from Maryland.
Virginia beat the Old Liners, 6 to 0.
and Y. =. I. defeated them TO 0.
And men vino watched the w and. L.
Virginia game last week say that the
latter was lucky to get off so we'll
good comparison which shows the
strength of Washington and Lee is
the score against Kentucky. The
Generals defeated Kentucky by al
most three times the score that Jni-
VerSity OF Chicago did. Chicago won
by to 0. and W. and l.. by - to o.
V. p. |. was helpless against the Lex
inoton outfit. according to report.
while Virginia could not gain ground
at all.
All of which indicates that Mary
land has trouble aplenty in store for
it. And Maryland knows full well just
the kind of team against which il is
To play and refuses to he worried, no
matter what the outcome. In fact,
the Old Liners have faced so many
strong eleVenS in the last few years
that such games have come to be the
usual rather than the unusual
Catholic University will go into its
game with Muhlenberg confident of
victory, although it would seem. on a
basis of comparative scores. that the
chances in the contest are very near
even. The Brooklanders have about
the most versatile eleven they have
ever put out. and will face in Mullen
berg a team capable of playing good
foot ball.
Virginia Military Institute goes to
Kentucky tomorrow for a game with
that university. The contest should
be pretty evenly fought.
Virginia has another hard contest
on its hands tomorrow. The Orange
and Blue is making preparations for
an invasion by Virginia Polytechnic
Institutes team and student body and
the game is expected to be as close
and hard fought as any of the South
Atlantic season. Virginia $ team does
not have on il so many veterans, but
is more versatile. If it can withstand
the hard driving game that V. p. l.
usually plays. then it will have an eX-
Celent chance to win.
North Carolina State College seems
to be in Tor a whipping. facing as IT
does Wake Forest. Not much is
he2-d about the Baptists. but un-
dOUbtedIE they have one OF the strong
est teams in The section. They beat
North Carolina University. to 6, in
the opening game of the season. While
North Carolina has since won from
North Carolina State by II to 0.
Georgia and Georgia Tech are due to
mix things in Atlanta for the first
time III years. The eleVenS had d
break in athletics some years ago and
did not play again in any sport until
their teams happened to meet in an
elimination championship basket ball
tournament of the Southern Confer
ence. That proved they could play
