- tIlAt nave lOOL D1ll SdiIico kool-
urday are due for rough after
Il moons. as the opponents they
are to meet are at least a good
match and probably in more cases
than one have the shade.
Much already has been written of
what Georgetown and Maryland may
expect to face in going against Navy
and Virginia, but very little has been
told of what Catholic University and
Gallaudet are meeting, and both
should have plenty to do against Holy
Cross and Delaware.
American University against Bridge.
water College may not have such easy
going, but George Washington ought
to win from Randolph Macon without
difficulty and run up good score.
Georgetown is going through week
of practice which consists more OF
poIishing it's offenSe and tuning up its
defense than of any real rough. hard
workouts. The Blue and Gray Is IN
good shane and the coaches do not
feel that anv chances should be taken
OF having the team go wrong because
Of staleness.
It Is known, or rather there Is what
IA thought to be an accurate con1ec.
ture. that Navy will have on the neld
a nhysically powerful and versatile
eleven ready to fight every inch OF the
way to protect the high honors 1t mas
won so far by beating Princeton ana
Michigan.
Under any circumstances. in play
ing Navy, Georgetown Wouio oe
against a. tough team and face an
: exceedingly difficult game, but IN the
present circumstances this Is douply
true. Navy at any time In the last
month would have been hard team
for any other eleven to beat. and this
week probably will find no d1nerence
in Its status, as far as that phase
Of 1t Is concerned.
GEORGETOWN is in good shape, but
the Navy also is ready, which really
means a harder afternoon for George
town than if II were not quite SO
capable itself.
Virginia is due to bring to College
Park to meet Maryland veteran
eleven that has been rushing along
in rapid strides toward great heights.
It reached great heights last week
when 1t beat Washington and Lee py
30 to Z, and especially Is this true
when 1t Is known that Virginia really,
with any luck at all. should have
won by more than 40 points.
Virginia has two big tackles. both
standing over 6 feet and weighing
around 1876 pounds. 1t has big guards
and fast ends and backs. In sort.
Virginia Is such a formidable conDl.
nation at this moment, as Indicated
by it's one.sided victory over a team
that tied Princeton, that Maryland
or any other Southern eleven would
consider itself due for some hard
shedding.

Maryland backs will have to do better
defensive work than ever before If
they expect to stop Virginias heav-
ing of the ball."
Catholic University goes against in
Holy Cross team that defeated Har-
ward. The Brooklanders have no de-
lusions as to the kind Of afternoon
they must spend. They hope for the
best, but realize they have only an
outside chance for victory. Holy
Cross always Is strong. but this Fall
seems to be just a little better than
usual.
Gallaudet is not to play big team.
as big teams are considered, but, com
paratively. it is due for just as hard
u game as any Of the three colleges
mentioned. The Kendall Greeners have
not the facilities nor the men pos
sessed by University of Delaware,
which it plays, consequently may be
expected to put up good game
against odds. At that, though. 1t
would be no surprise to see Gallaudet
win. because the Kendall Greeners
have a fighting team and one that
Teddy Hughes has we'll coached not
only in foot ball fundamentals but
also In tactics.
American University may win from
BridgeWater College, but there is not
much way OF telling just how good a
team the latter has. George Wash
ington ought to roll up a big score
on Randolph Macon. the latter not
having near the eleven possessed by
the Hatchetites.
While Navy has as All opponent of
real worth Georgetown. Army also is
due for some lively miXups before
the afternoon Is ended on Saturday.
The occasion for the Army will be the
annual fray with Notre Dame in New
York, and what these institutions do not
show in the way of good foot ball is
rot TO be seen in many places. Last
year the Army won without much
fitfflculty Now Notre Dame has a
much better eleven than represented
it then and Army also is stronger. ap-
uarently That means only one
thing-one Of the greatest games OF
the year.
What probably will be the best
game played III the Western Confer
ence this year is to be staged at Co
Jumbus between Michigan and Ohio
state. Both universities have excel
lent records, barring Michigan's down
fall at hands of Navy, and the whole
conference is teeming with conjecture
ss TO which will emerge victorious.
Ohio State is far above its strength of
.he last two or three years, While
Michigan has a powerful and versa
tile outfit.
That game at Pittsburgh between
vtttsburCh and Washington and JET
ferson is right sure TO be one wen
worth while 1t usually is, and this
wear is not likely to be an exception,
desnite the fact that Pitt does not
seer, quite to measure up TO the other
seams II has turned out in recent
Tears.
A real game Is scheduled out on the
Pacific Coast between Stanford and
University Of Washington. The con-
