usually is about as communicative as
about games. Here is Moran's way
of looking at It.
There will be two teams on the
field of eleven men each. The kick
off IS sure to take place from the
40-yard line, and thereafter there will
be punting, throwing and running
of the ball. Both teams will go into
The game expecting to win, but the
one that scores most points is going
to. If you don't believe that come
out and see for yourself. If the
wind blows it will be a windy day and
punts will be hard to judge. If rain
falls the field will be muddy and
players consequently may find it diff
cult to stand up. This is my predic-
ton for the game. 1t may not be
much of a prediction, but is Just about
as accurate and valuable as some I've
made of some other games"
Have Team of Veterans.
The Marines plan to come here Sat
hrday morning in time for lunch,
then go to Brookland for the game,
which is to begin at 2:30 o'clock. The
Marines will present against the
Brooklanders a team of veterans.
with several former college stars in
its lineup. Three men certain to start
the game are McQuade, Pugh and
Bailey, former local high school and
Maryland stars, and probably HOugh
also will be in the contest.
1t seems to be the opinion at Cath
olic University that all necessary to
stop the Marines is to take care of
Pugh and McQuade. One Brook
lander stated yesterday that "Pugh
and McQuade form all the offense the
Marines have, and we are going to
concentrate on stopping them, and
we'll come close to doing it too, and
If we do we win"
Just what the Marines may have
70 think about that is another mat
ter. Certainly If Rykeman has not
lost a good deal Of his cunning Of
three years ago, then the Marines
have another back besides Pugh and
McQuade incidentally. the Marines
have two good tackles, both Wigmore
and Hunt being veteran and brilliant
players.
But Catholic U. undoubtedly has
secuted the Marines and knows pretty
well what they have, and if, knowing
that, it still feels it has practically an
even chance, then the only conclusion
to draw is that the Brooklanders will
have on the field Saturday a team
capable of doing better than it has
done in any previous contest this
year.
Gallaudet has no game scheduled
this week. The Kendall Greeners are
taking a lay-off following their trip to
eadins last week.
George Washington goes to viii.
liamsburg to play William and Mary.
The Hatchetites are sure of a hard
game, though they are strong them
selves. William and Mary apparently
is not as good now as 1t was this time
year ago. but even at that 1t prob
ably is good enough to give any
eleven in its class real battle
George Washington should not make
the trip figuring on anything other
than the hardest kind of a game.
Georgetown plays Elon College Of
North Carolina and the game will be
nothing more nor less than a rest
period for the Blue and Gray ~egu-
lars. Elon never has done anything
in foot ball to give the slightest indi-
cation that it has the ghost OF a
chance against the kind OF a team
that represents Georgetown.
Maryland, in preparation for it's
game with North Carolina Saturday,
at College Park, is to stage a long
scrimmage with the Marines this aft
ernoon. The Marines plan to use the
scrimmage to get them in shape to
meet c. u. Last year Maryland lost
to North Carolina by a score of Is to
0. and this Fall the Tarheels beat
South Carolina to 0, team which
beat Maryland. The game between
the two schools usually is nip and
tuck. The contest is looked upon as
one Of the big games of the season
in the South Atlantic section.
