Maryland will face Virginia for the
second time in it's grdiron history.
The only other foot ball game in
which the two schools have met was
rlayed in 1919. Maryland won then
by IS to 0. This year, based on the
showing of the two teams to date.
Virginia seems to have the edge. Its
play has been consistent all year, the
team having made good so far all the
fine things that we're claimed for 1t
before the opening of the season. Nir-
ginia is using the game as its home
coming attraction and is expecting a
great turnout.

fered defeat North Carolina State

University by II to q, and \. NJ. |.
last week was victim of Virginia
by IS to 10. However. both teams put
ND the kind of games that are inter-
esting TO watch, and the fact that
they have lost should not detract from
the value of the contest from foot
ball standpoint.
WASHINGTON and Lee will enter its
game with Virginia Polytechnic lnstl-
tute a favorite. but probably will have
its hands full. despite the one-slded
Whipping it gave Kentucky last week.
Judged on that showing against Ken

strong University of Chicago defeat

Grass PLAYERS by % to o. However,
Y p l. has potentially much

credit for 1t may be. of course, that

If one man OF any one team in the
South deserves great credit for the
kind of game he is playing, that man

Moran stands in a class by himself,
as far as this section Is concerned,

Inct..-ntallv. Moran has the KIND
NJ courage which makes real loot
hall men. Last week against Mary
land at Clark Griffith Stadium he was
a badly battered man before the end
of the first half and almost physlcally
exhausted. It seemed at tunes tnat
he could hardly drag hlmsel1 10 lht

into dynamic action that was little
short of marvellous.
Vale. Princeton and Harvard. just
finished with terrific struggles OF last
Saturday. are not in for any letooWn
this week end. Princeton meets COL

ing" for any eleven: Yale goes against
Brown at Providence in one OF tne
few. games in which a Yale team has
1err it's home field, and Brown also
has zone far beyond the stage where
II may be looked upon as anything
other than very difficult test. f1af-
ward. beaten last week by Holy cross
faces Dartmouth, and the treeh
usually is an even more diftlcut prop
osition than Brown.
Yale especially has had its troubles
c,,+ ont for it since the beginning OF
last week. Pennsylvania, Brown and
ARMY are real foot ball teams this
vear. and the Els still have to meet
the Br1lronians and Soldiers. Ana
after that 27-to-O defeat of Notre
Dame all opponents of the Army prop
ahlv are wondering just what they are
IN against. Following two such hard
contests as Penn and Brown, the
ARMY game comes as even more DIM
cuIt for Yale than it ordinarily would.
Probably the biggest game in the
East this week will be the meeting or
Chicago and Pennsylvania at FRANK
lin Field. The Blue and Red IS bend
ing it's energies toward maintaining
the prestige given it by its undefeated
1924 season and its victory of last
week over Yale. With Yale $ scalp
already at it's belt. with Chicago due
this week. and Illinois in the oftng
for October 81. Pennsylvania has VI
sions of one of the most brilliant grid
iron seasons in the annals of the
game. Certain if Penn can come
through all these contests 1t Will stano
out among the greatest of eleVens the
East has ever produced. And, Incl
dentally, nobody can point an accusing
finger at Penn with the charge that 1t
avoided too many difficult games.
