Coach Little is not making any
definite statements about the pros
poets but is far ffom pessimistic. In
other words. Little is not committing
himself definitely to a prediction such
as he made last year when he said
he would turn out a great eleven, but
is qualifying that by saying he will
have another great team if his backs
come through. And right now it may
be said that the Blue and Gray back
field seems to have considerable
ability.
Yesterday Georgetown staged long
scrimmage with the freshman eleven
and the varsity got a good workout.
That was about all that could be eX-
pected. as no green squad could very
well sstand up against the veteran
forward wall that carries the brunt
of Blue and Gray attack and de-
fense Waite and McGrath on ends,
Sauer and Mosko in the tackle posi-
tions. Munson and Carroll at guards,
and Grigsby at center form a combi-
nation that ought to do credit to any
university eleven. 1t is a heavy, fast
charging, physically powerful and eX-
perienced aggregation of linemen an ,

son.
MARYLAND had an hour of scrim-
maze with the George Washington
squad. and both elevens drew much
benefit from the encounter. No at
tempt was made to play a game. One
team took the ball for awhile and
then the other. Both gained ground
and after a little more than an hour
Of banging at each other in more or
less haphazard fashion, both We're
willing to call it a full day.
1t was a typical early sea- son scrim-
mage, markedly inaccuracies and
missed signals. Maryland seemed
more advanced in its development
than George Washington, as it nat
urally should, as it plays a game a
week earlier.
Coach Crum intends to send his
men through a week of the hardest
kind of scrimmage and rough play,
so that he can taper off somewhat

usual for so early in the season, be-

were half spent when they got home
and Tunney cleverly evaded some or

Tunney forced Delaney to miss more

Today's exhibition was important
in that it apparently showed Tunney's

uneasiness among the attaches and

Tunney foresook the road today,

 Mexico Cause Trouble

Washington, Nov. IS R,-Bolshe- vistic activities emanating from Mexico, which have become increas- ingly apparent in the tangled politi- cal affairs of Central American countries lying between the United States and the Panama Canal, are causing deep concern in Washing ton.
 This situation, intensifying the al ready strained relations between the American and Mexican governments, has been brought more pointedly in- to the open that 1t has been allow ed to appear heretofore through the appeal to the United States by the new president of Nicaragua. Adolfo Diaz, for intervention to restore peace in that country.
 Diaz's appeal, following immedi- ately upon formal recognition of his government yesterday by the United States, has not yet reached the United States department. and any decision upon it must of course, wait until it has been studied.
 In a statement explaining the &C., ton of the American government in recognizing Diaz, however, Secre- tary Kellogg expressed the hope that the new presidents offer of general amnesty and cabinet posts to his liberal opponents would be accept ed and would end the revolutionary condition which has invited inter- ference from outside sources, a state of affairs which must cause concern to every friend of stability in Cen. tral America"

 Counsel for Madame Lambrino in- formed the court that the birth certificate for Mircea made him an illegitimate child. He contended that the boy was born before the annul- ment decree became effective This NJ. Paul l-Boncour. attorney for Carol. combatted.
 M. Paul-Boncour's defense includes the incompetency of the French court to act; that Zizi never con- tested the annulment in the Ru- manian courts; that Mircea was born out of wedlock, and that there was no breach of promise, as the marriage of Carol and Zizi at Odes- sa was legal until annulled.
 There was sharp contrast between the perfervid rhetoric of M. Salmon and Carols commonplace amatory correspondence and M, Paul-Bon- cour's cold, legal logic. M. Paul. Boncour said he was not appearing for Prince Charles of Hohenzollern nor Prince Carol of Rumania, but for a simple citizen, Charles Carai- man. who, by sacrificing the crown of Rumania, had a right to live in peace. As neither party had French domicile, he insisted that the French court had no jurisdiction. In conclu- sion M. Paul l-Boncour said:
 "rhe persistence with which Madame Lambrino brings these suits in French courts sufficiently in dicates their scandalous character"
 Madame Lambrino was present to hear her lawyers pleading of her case. In a velvet mantle and blue hat she twitched her fingers or rub bed her nose nervously as the at torney recited most intimate details of her romance with the Rumania crown prince.
 Carol was not present.
