foot ball is concerned Harvard an
scalp, and. while in every season bo
attaining that accomplishment. this
go just little bit further than that.
Yale, two years ago. was brilliant.
1t had power and versatility that could
not be matched by either Harvard or
Princeton. Then it lost some splendid
backs, and it was thought by many
that it would not be so strong last sea
son. But last season it came back
with all the power and versatility of
the year before, and something addi-
tional in the nature of the acumen of
the fox. Princeton and Harvard again
fell by the wayside.
1t does not set any too we'll for
either of the Big Three to take con-
secutive beatings from the other two.
Princeton for several years hardly
measured up to the foot ball standard
of either Harvard or Yale. but a few
years ago it developed elevens that
stood the acid test. and of late 1t has
felt it had the same right to look
forward to victories that seemed to be
we'll imbued in the minds of the
others.
Michigan, Illinois. Pittsburgh, Cali
fornia, Notre Dame and others may
come out with great teams. may play
wonderful contests before huge
throngs. but nothing in the Middle
West or Far West quite compares in
foot ball way to the game in which
Yale, Harvard and Princeton figure
one against another. The games. like
the ArmyNavy clash. are too old to
admit of any other game or games at
tanning the same kind of widespread
interest
And it is because of this that every.
body looks forward even to the open
ing games. whether or not the con-
tests amount to anything as actual
foot ball exhibitions.
With fhe exception of the right
end position. Coach Teddy Hughes of
Gallaudet is practically certain of his
starting lineup for his opening game
Saturday. with Blue Ridge College.
Kaercher, Peterson and Peikoff are
being tried out in the place. but which
one will be called on Is still unsettled.
Kaercher is the only one of the trio
with any foot ball experience. but
others are getting the chance be-
cause of their natural speed
The probable starters for Saturday
are Killian. end; Buman and Mynarek.
tackles; krausS and Young, guards:
Ridings, center: HurowitZ. quarter.
back; Rose and Byouk. halfbacks, and
Scarvie. fullback. HurowitZ is the
only green player in this array, and
there is chance that Rose will take
his place at quarter, with Miller be-
out with a charleyhorse.
The Kendall Greeners held a long
practice yesterday, taking up most of
the time with signal drills after a
few rounds of tackling the dummy
SZopa. who has been playing at
guard, was put in the backfield as
substitute for Capt. Rose, who was
out with a charley-horse.
Following a light signal drill and
practice in breaking up passes yes
terday Georgetown's squad will re-
sumo real work this afternoon for the
clash with Mount st. Mary's on Satur-
day. Fullback Tony Plansky was alb
sent yesterday nursing bruises re-
ceived last Saturday. and his place
was taken by MetZger. Waite Is re-
placing Maroney at right end and
probably will start in the Mount ST.
Mary's clash.
George Washington will rely on an
aerial attack when Juniata is met on
Saturday at Central stadium Mock
and Clapper are proving adept at re-
celvinS the ball from Coleman and
should count heavily against the team
that defeated them last year by
7-to-0 score.
