Y HEN Davis FlklnS comes

AN Georgetown it may provide
more of stumbling block
for the local school thar
some people expect. No doubt the
Nest NUginans, despite their defea
hv four touchdowns by Navy. will
be inst about as strong physically AS
the Blue and Gray and probably will
have in their lineup some foot ball
nlaNers of considerable experience.
Davis F,lkins has lost two games. both
IL strong teams. but is capable of put
ting I'm real defense, especially
against a Tine attack.
Georgetown ought TO win by possi-
hly three touchdowns. but the visitors
may snow more than is looked for
and give the Blue and Gray the
toughest kind of a struggle. The
local school probably will have no adj
vantage in weight and probably no
advantage in sheer physical power.
Eut, despite the prediction it should
win, and its own belief it will. George
town has more or less of an uneasy
feeling as to what may happen.
Coach Little is not saying much
about his team. Three weeks ago he
was rather discouraged, but things
have been breaking better. Little is
pretty much in a state of not knowing
Just what he does have. He has not
met an eleven strong enough TO put
his squad 10 a real lest, and every
coach. no matter how good his team
may be- has rather a jumpy feeling
abont how his men as a team viii act
under heavy fire.
II Georgetown can win the game by
about three touchdowns it will have
had just about the kind OF game it
wants 10 put it in he best of shape to
face Syracuse. West Virginia and La
fayette. The Blue and Gray knows
its work is cut ont for it in these con-
tests. and game in which it will have
a fair margin. hut still get lot of op-
position is just about the kind of
game II needs. And such a game is
Just as interesting, and more interest
ing. If anything, than one in which
two teams are very evenly matched
and neither can gain ground. In fact.
about the most uninteresting foot ball
game that can be thought of is one in
which neither team can make headway
and the ball sways up and down the
field on exchanges Of punts.
Georgetown must have a strong Of

Any eleven that can roll up 1877 points

team that beats Georgetown will have

of opponents toward its goal more

But what Virginia ia going 10 be
able TO do against South Carolina Sat
urday still remains a puzzle.
Virginia opened the season against
Hampden Sidney with seven men in

varsity foot ball game before. In
week later against the veteran Georgia
eleven there were seven starters who
were playing their first Southern Con
ference contest.

every effort is being made 10 get

South Carolina never has defeated
Virginia in foot ball and the Nir-

Coach Neale is driving his backfeld
in an effort to whip his offense into
shape to overcome the Gamecocks. II

used different running four from
those who began the play in the two

Just why foot ball squad cannot
cure itself of such an attitude OF

Many foot ball teams suffer from an
exaggerated sense of their own impor-

that was 80 points better than Vir-
ginia suffered an afternoon that al
most gave it's supporters heart fail

irons, and on other fields, teams have
been figured to win that should have
won, but lost simply because they
were not mentally prepared for the
issue When foot ball team thinks
it is so good that it does nor have to
put forth real effort in preparation
for it's next game. then that team Is
due for the rudest kind of jolt.

heads of the various delegations
have met informally. 1t was
