The Washington times., 1925-09-07


Despite the ups and downs and
odd twists of the Griffmen and Ath-
letics this season, Washington Is
firm in its belief at last that the
pennant is cinched and while it
prepares for the diamond classic
football is getting the go-by.

gridiron fever will be catching not
until late in October.
And before the first week In
November no less than twenty
eight college games will have been
played and these likely Will be
witnessed by far fewer than the
usual number of fans. Sure, the
reg'lar grid nut. who needs no
ballyhO nor anything but two foot
ball eleVens in action to bring him
out. will attend. But his COM
pany will be scant.
Anyway, there are only a few
among the twenty-eight games in
question that are important. No
vember brings the big battles.
Washington's most interesting
football engagement for October will
be between Maryland and Virginia
Tech, on October II, after the world
series is finished but with its smoke
still in the air. It's an annual
clash. between Maryland and Tech.

stirring contest that caught the
old Line eleven weakened by In
juries. Maryland hopes to be at
full strength and will meet the
Tech eleven this year lacking
nothing in the way of spirit.
