REGULAR SEASON OF PLAY
HAS AIDED LEATHERNECKS
Teamwork Has Been Developed by Series of Clashes,
While Doughboys Still Are Trying to Round
Out Good Combination for Tilt.

Carolina. Duke had rather beat
North Carolina than al the other
elevens on it's schedule and 1t prob
ably has a chance to do so. notWith.
standing the wonderful defensive
elevens that North Carolina possesses.
The great majority of Southern
schools are resting for their annual
Thanksgiving battles. George Tech
and Auburn are looking forward to
their game, notwithstanding Georgia
Tech plays Oelethorpe Saturday. Ala
/ bama and Georgia. Vanderbilt and
Sewanee Virginia and North Carolina,
Washington and Lee and Florida, Nir-
ginia Military Institute and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, Louisiana State
and Tulane and Mississippi and Mis-
sissippi A. and NJ. are other instltu-
tions that are spending their time this
week more in preparation for their
Turkey day clashes than anything
else.
A rather interesting opinion was eX-
pressed yesterday by man who
watched Yale and Princeton play last
week. II think Yale without Caldwell
was better Saturday than it would
have been with him. Tt is my honest
opinion that Yale would have lost to
Princeton had Caldwell been in the
game. Yale's team would have de-
pended too much on Caldwell and no
one man could have won from that
Tiger outfit. AS it was II was a whole
Yale eleven that was in there fighting
like mad for something it seemed to
feel belonged to it, but was in danger
Of being lost. If my ideas amount to
anything, Caldwells loss to Yale was
its nSvchologiCal salvation"
Looking at Georgetown's season as
it now stands. it certainly seems
shame that it lost to Syracuse. Had it
not sustained that one defeat, it prob
ably would have gone through the
year without a blemish on its record,
as the chances are very good 1t should
win from Fordham Saturday. Starting
the season, as he thought. without
particularly good prospects, Coach
Lou Little has brought forward the
squad and, were it not for the beating
sustained at Syracuse. would be in
wonderful position. And even with that
defeat, Little has everything to feel
proud of in his season. His eleven
has played good foot ball. has met
what usually are among the East's
strongest teams. and generally his
dividuals and as unit on the grid
irons on which they have played in
a way to reflect credit on him and the
university.
Western Maryland College, accord
ing to its coach. Dick Harlow, has at
least two foot ball players who are as
good as any in their positions. Har
low the other day said of Neal. one of
his backs, "He is one of the best backs
in the country. and l doubt if there
are more than one or two his super
iors in grounds gaining. And in Vein
stock. l have a tackle. who is the
best man in the position l have ever
coached, and who is good enough to
play on any college eleven" Incl
dentally. when it is remembered that
! Harlow coached at Penn State. and
Colgate. where usually are found some
| real players. then his words about
Neal and Weinstock mean that these
men really are good.
George Washington's foot bali team
will meet Penn State at State
College on pennsylvania day."
November 10. next Fall. To be select
'sed by Penn State to play on this date
is regarded as decided tribute to the
prowess of the Colonials. G. W.'s
only loss this season has been to the
Nittany Lions by 13 to 0. Last season
Coach Crum's men also made fine
