land, and then has nothing to do II
lotteSville Thanksgiving day.
Last year Virginia lost to Washing
ton and Lee, to IA, beat Maryland
& to 0, and tied North Caroling. 3 to
8. Right now it realizes il is up
against Il stiff proposition in Washing
ton and Lee, as the latter has an eX-
ceptlonally strong outfit. The Orange
and Blue apparently stands about as
even with Maryland as it is possible
for two foot ball teams to stand while
II seems to have something of a mar
Sln on North Carolina.
Right now Coach Neale's task is
centerod in an attempt to clean up
Washington and Lee, if possible
That defeat of "a year ago still ran
kles among Nirginians and they hope
10 even up the situation. With the
exception of Hutter at fulIhack, Vir-
einia will have its entire regular
lineup on the field. and, with the
one exception. the whole squad is in
his week with the idea that he must
take the offensive early and keep it
rather than depend on holding the
Generals and then scoring on either
break or by wearing them down.
1t is estimated at Virginia that
the largest crowd that has watched
a foot ball game in Virginia this year
will be present when the referee
blows his starting whistle. Several
thousand extra bleacher seats have
been installed and it may be that
more will have to be erected before
Saturday to take care of all those
who desire to watch the Set-tO.
Washington and Lee is confident of
victory, just as it was a year ago,
but Virginia feels that its chances are
far better. OF course. it's chances
will have to be much better. too. be-
cause last season Washington and Lee
not only won by ID to 0, but actually
was much better than Virginia than
that score indicated.
Incidentally, the game is exceeding
ly interesting to Maryla nders because
their eleven meets Virginia and
Washington and Lee on the two fol-
lowing Saturdays. the former at Col
lFge Park and the latter at Lexington.
Not only Maryland but in all prOba-
biity North Carolina and V. =. l. will
have the field filled with scouts.
North Carolina meets Virginia
Thank ksgiving day and V. 7. !. faces
Washington and Lee on November 13.
GeOrGetOwn's squad leaves tonight
for Syracuse, where on Saturday it
goes against the Orange in game
in which at least an even chance is
figured. Coach Little says he will
have his entire varsity strength on
the field and that he firmly believes
his eleven should come out with the
margin of victory. The least Little
looks for is an even break. as in his
opinion, Georgtown's chances are
even or better.
The squad is due to reach Syracuse
tomorrow morning, will practice in the
afternoon and then rest until time for
the whistle to blow.
Maryland'S squad does not leave for
Yale until tomorrow night. 1t is the
policy of the Marylanders never to
get anywhere for a game until just
in time to dress and get on the field
and they will reach New Haven to
have a late breakfast. dress and jump
in the bowl for their annual fray
With the Bulldog
George Washington. Gallaudet and
catholic University continue to make
preparations for their home games
The one which George Washington
is to play with Ursinus probably will
be best. Gallaudet will not have
much difficulty disposing of American
University and Catholic L. should
laudet and George Washington had
an hour of scrimmage yesterday. and
both elevens seem to. be in excellent
physical condition. In SCrimmage
Dyer seemed to have considerably
more ability as brQken-field runner
than any other man on the field. His
short passes also were very effective.
fotsl teams used the Scrmmage en-.
ttrelN as practice.
Washington and Lees backs are
not in the hest of condition for the
game with Virginia. according TO re-
port, but Whitlock and Lett. two of
the best the latter a brilliant all

while Mike Palmer. the star running
halthack of a year ago, also is ready

a scrimmage early in the week.
