Kentucky looms on the V. NJ. l. sched-

Thanksgiving day classic with V. P. l..

preparation for what Is expected to
be a spectacular contest.

fered last year, and the Cadets are de-

the Hilltoppers have a brilliant
steady, powerful and experienced set

Notwithstanding the vaunted prowess
of the Navy forwards it probably will
be found that Georgetown's men will
not be lacking in the test.
One disadvantage Georgetown will
have issthAt of playing on Navy field.
The Navy at home is one of the hard
est teams in the world to defeat. Con-
ditions favor it from every angle.
No doubt one of the greatest crowds
that have watched a game at Navy
will be present. The demand for tick
cts exceeds the supply by many
thousands. The Navy's supply of tick
cts is exhausted and the only ones
to be had are those in Georgetown's S
possession. The Blue and Gray has
erected an arrangement whereby
those who desire to obtain tickets may
do so by becoming an associate mem-
Der of the athletic association. Com
munication with Athletic Director Lit
tie at the Hilltop will get information
in regard to tickets.
Georgetown is to take its squad
to the Naval Academy Saturday
morning in time for a light lunch,
then rest for an hour or 50 before
going on the field.
The game promises to be one of the
greatest ever played at Annapolis
and one Of the greatest in which any

II Georgetown thinks it has a good

the same way, then there seems every

Georgetown does not have as good

feated by West Virginia and tied by
Pittsburgh. Navy has not lost game.

Michigan. If Navy reached its peak
in those games, then Georgetown has

NEW YORK, November 10.-Power
This is the keynote of success in the
current foot ball season. You do not

threat it has been more potent this

one point should be borne in mind
as a matter Of justice to the Buckeyes.
With two exceptions the Ohio team
is the same one which was used in
1928 by various rivals as a "gridiron

in the Big Ten that has not been de-
feated by one or more rivals.
Why? One reason is that this year
the Buckeyes have been almost com

have had the advantage of a years

modern foot ball have been spread

That ill-nature governs the attitude
of Harvard and Princeton undergrad
yates toward one another is a fact
too obvious to be ignored. From the
early seventies when the two univer-
stiles first played foot ball 1t has
existed, always smoldeding, occa-
ionally breaking into fierce f1ame-as
at present.
The fact that Princeton since the
close Of the World War has been beat
ing Harvard quite consistently does
not explain why this feeling exists.
1t may be sectional. Princeton has
always had a strong element in the
student body which comes from the
southern tier of the Middle Atlantic
States and from the South itself.
Harvard IS a national university. none
more so, but in essence it is a New
England institution.
This difference would not of itself
imply enmity, but it might mean
that lack of understanding which so
easily develops into dislike.
Whatever the cause. there is no
doubt that Harvard and Princeton
undergraduates do not mix well, md
there is an alumni group of Harvard
men in Boston who view the Tiger
with repugnance. if not alarm.
