~ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY meet
st. Johns College of Brook
lyn. y. Y, in the only Colleg
foot ball game on loca
field tomorrow. Georgetown
Gallaudet. George Washington ant
MARYLAND are booked for engagement
away. while American University ha!
no contest.
Tn at syracuse. Georgetown hope:
to win real honors by Il smashing vic
tory. while Gallaudet against Albright
George Washington against Rutger:
and Maryland against Virginia Poly
technic Institute will get about all the
opposition any foot ball team wants
and perhaps a lot more.
Catholic University will oppose st
Johns with 4 team that has the con
fidence of three victories behind it
William and Mary, Mount st. Mary's
and Loyola College of Baltimore have
fallen before it on consecutive Satur'
DAYS and tomorrow ii. is expected to
add another to the list of scalpS now
dangling at its belt. The Brooklanders
have developed an eleven of real
capability, one able to put up a good
battle on any field.
Report has ii that Syracuse has a
weak line and that Georgetown run
ming attack and forward passes will
go without much difficulty; that is,
without the difficulty usually encoun'
tered in n game with one of the big
Northern schools. Coach Little ex'
meets to win. and his expectations are
.backed by the opinions of those that
have watched Syracuse play. One
man, foot ball coach. whose team
met Syracuse. is of the opinion the
Blue and Gray should win by at least
three touchdownS.
Rutgers does not seem SO strong
this year, but at that is likely to be
good enough on its home field to with
stand the onslaughts of the average
eleven. George Washington may win,
hut will get plenty of entertainment in
so doing Albright also is not easy to
conquer on its home field, and 1t prob
ably will be a much more experienced
aggregation than that which repre-
sents Gallaudet.
ANY team that beats Colgate is
strong enough to make almost any
other eleven worry, and since Virginia
Polytechnic Institute came back from
Hamilton with that 6-to-0 victory last
week, nothing need be said to Mary
landers about the kind of game they
must look for at Norfolk tomorrow.
The Old Liners know they must face
a hard-playing, fast and experienced
eleven, and they have made up their
minds that nothing else is in store for
them except the hardest kind of a
struggle. One thing about Maryland
teams, though. is that for some reason
or other they always stir up their cour-
age to be at their best when they have
the hardest tests to meet.
Other schools I'm the South Atlantic
section hav some tough assignments
tomorrow also: Washington and Lee,
for instance, must go to Princeton
for what is likely TO be a lively after
noon for it. Last year the Generals
got 7-tos- tie and expect this time
10 give aegeoCi account of themselves.
1t is not often, tllpughE that one OF
hhe SouthefIt eiev6Ils that go North
and tie team or win are able to go
back the second time without, encoun-
lltering the hercest kind Of opposition, \
'Northerners do not like to have their
gridirons invaded successfully.
Virginia VIII have plenty Of action
at Charlottesville when it meets Vir-
.ginia Military Institute. The Cava.
1iers have not been going any too wen,
while V. NJ. I. seems to have an ex-
ceptionally good eleven. And there
may be some things V. M. I. would
rather do than whip Virginia, but no.
body has yet heard what they are.
North Carolina State does not play
tomorrow, having whipped Wake For
est yesterday by 80 to z, but North
Carolina University meets South Caro-
