~ EORGETOWN'S game with
Davis and Elkins is by far the
T most promising of the three
scheduled on local Gridlrons
tomorrow. The Blue and
Grav has a real scoring machine, one
that has not yet really been tried ouI,
while Davis and Elkins is due to bring
here an eleven that was strong enough
10 play Navy to a standstill except for
forward passes.
George Washington meets Ameri-
can University. and Gallaudet enter
tains st. Johns in the other two con-
tests. All three games will begin at
c:30 o'clock.
Catholic University and Maryland
play away, the former with Loyola in
Baltimore and the latter with North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
II am just plainly uneasy about
our game with Davis and Elkins.
said Coach Lou Little of Georgetown
this morning in speaking OF his pros
poets tomorrow, 'as / know we are
going to face a strong team. much
stronger team than any of our people
expect. And that usually is the worst
kind Of an eleven to have to play
against. Our scout who saw the game
with Navy tells me that Davis and
Elkins gave the Navy an awful battle
until. the Navy just wore II down by
use of a great many substitutes, and
fresh substitutes counted a good deal
on such hot day as last week. If
we can win, / shall not be one bit
dissatisfied"
Georgetown plans to start the game
with Tomaini and Provincial at ends,
the latter being given Monson's place
since the latter's injury. Mosko and
Mooney will be at tackles. Sauer and
Carroll at guards and Grigsby at
center. The backfield will consist of
McCabe at quarter, Nork and O'Neil
at halfbacks and Hudack at full. This
means that two Georgetown regulars
are on the sidelines with injuries,
Barabas, fullback. being the other
man out. Barabas has had bruised
leg for two weeks, and the injury
does not seem to improve much.
Georgetown will employ against
Davis and Elkins a powerful running
attack, but this is to be directed
against a line that held off Navy's
enslaughts for three.fourths of a con-
test without much apparent difficulty.
Eavys touchdowns resulted from for
ward Passes and Georgetown expects
to utilize that method considerably in
addition to its running offense.
Gallaudet realizes It will be at
disadvantage against st. johns TO
the extent that st. Johns has played
in one game, which 1t won by two
touchdowns. The Kendall Greeners
are far from weak and expects to
put up a good brand of foot ball, win.
lose or draw. St. Johns does not
have a very experienced eleven, al
though it will be well coached.
George Washington is fairly certain
to win from American University IN
the Central Stadium. Coach Crum
has developed a team good enough TO
Give a real battle to its opponents,
and II should exceed in weight, ex-
perience and general skill the Amer
loan II. combination. Crum's team,
though. IL lacking in good reserve
strength, which Is the weakness OF
many eAevens.
Catholic University expects to trim
Loyola, and will engage. the Baiti-
mereans on thai bash. at 1east@in It's
own mind. sJust what Loyoia may
think of the possibility OF a dlnerent
outcome is not known. and, be II salo'
the Brooklanders are not caring mucn
what Lovola thinks. c. L. has made
I'M its collective mind that tomorrow
ii will wipe up the gridiron with
Loyola and it means to carry out that
program, no matter how difficult 1t
may be.
Maryland goes to Chapel Hill to
meet North Carolina. Maryland has
won both its games, and North Caro-
lima has twice been defeated, which,
in the last analysis. does not help
MARYLAND much. Maryland, though,
playing in the right spirit. has 4 tough
team to beat, and the result of its
contest tomorrow hinges pretty much
on the mental attitude Of the team as
a whole. II Maryland goes into the
game with the same thought and
spirit it went against South Carolina.
then it should put up game that will
be hard for North Carolina to over
come.
The other two games in the South
Atlantic section which should be
especially worth while are between
Washington and Lee and Duke
University and between Virginia and
South Carolina. To judge by the
walloping Duke gave Boston College.
the Durham eleven must be strong,
and. inasmuch as Washington and
Lee was strong enough to tie West
Virginia last week, the game ought to
be one Of the best of the year in the
whole section. Both are coached by
former Pittsburgh players under War
ner and both have Warmers system.
