Undoubtedly one of the largest
crowds that have watched George

blows in the Brook la nd Stadium.
Roth elevenS have played good foot

Coach Crum believes that his men
can WIN IL they play the kind of
foot ball they are capable of, and that
inst about describes the attitude of
Coach McAuliffe. When both coaches
think that way about their teams
there is not much doubt that they
have something up their sleeve
and know that their teams are able
to give real battle to the opposing
eleven And when both coaches think
that way, then a real battle is pretty
sure 10 result.
Big Job for Maryland.
Maryland has in its game with Hop
kins what probably will be a tough as
4 will Pa1f
though, in somewhat different atti-
tude rom that in which made the trip
in thu last two or three years. The
squad is in fairly good shape physical
ly. despite the long, hard schedule
through which it has V2eyed. Hopkins
has heavy team and a more expert
encet team, and at the beginning of
the season was banking on winning
without good deal of trouble.
Asa matter of fact. 1t generally was

was a Hopkins year and that Mary.

the arst time since 1915. Since that,

not SO confident. Maryland has been
picked in each Of the last three years
to beat Hopkins, but each game has
been tie.
Georgetown figures to beat Detroit
without a good deal of difficulty,
though 1t is not taking chances and
intends to send into the game its
whole strength. Detroit has had re-
verses in the last year or so and Is
rot so strong now, while the Blue and
Gray has an exceptionally powerful
combination.
While the games in which local
teams ere to take part arc winding
up local schedules. teams in other
parts of the country also will be max
ing their final appearances. In the
South the season ends with Tha nks-
giving day. and several Of the biggest
games Of the year are listed.
~ Charlottesville In a contest in which
everything seems to favor Virginia.
The Tarheels have not shown nearly
so great strength as have the Char
lottesville men, and the latter depend
on great line to pull them through
even If their offense does not go as
we'll as in some other meetings. Nir-
ginia undoubtedly has the best pair
Of tackles and best pair of ends in the
section. incidentally, it's center and
both guards also are topnotchers This
good line coupled With an exceptional
ly fast and experienced backfield, Is a
combination good on any foot ball
field. 1t would be an upset IL Carolina
were TO win.
Georgia Tech and Auburn are to
