- ALLAUDET opens its season
Saturday on it's home field a
II Kendall Green, while thre,
~ other local colleges engage Il
contests here and two away
Gallaudet plays its first game Will
st. Johns College OF Annapolis, while
Georgetown meets Davis -ElklnS a
Clark Griffith Stadium and George
Washington meets American Univer
sity in the Central Stadium. Catholic
University and Maryland play on for
eign fields, the former against Loyola
College at Baltimore and the latter
with North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Coach Teddy Hughes has a good
eleven at Gallaudet, but should con
slider himself lucky If he gets away
with the long end of the score in his
first game. St. Johns is much be''
ter coached than usual, and Will nave
the advantage Of having gone through
one regular contest. No team Is likely
to be as good in its first game as in
its second and Galiaudet will have to
make up in spirit and determination
the disadvantage it will play under
in being in its opener.
Georgetown's game with DavisEl-
kins should provide n much Stiffer
test for the Blue and Gray than either
of the two contests SO far played.
Navy defeated Davis E,lkins by
touchdowns, but the margin of play
was not SO great as the score indl-
Gates. Davis Elkins undoubtedly will
be strong physically, just as strong
as Georgetown, and the Blue and Gray
is not likely to find the going as easy
as the victory Of the Navy might
cause some to expect.
Catholic University vii, find ia stiff

through with another victory. The
BroOkla nders are elated over the
showing of their teams in its games
with William and Mary and Mount
ST. Mary's, because it is making good
the optimistic predictions made for 1t
before the season opened.
George Washington goes against
American University in the first of
the only two games in which local
schools meet. The former ought to
win. as American University has not
shown such strength as would war
rant an opinion it could hope for any
thing other than good showing.
Maryland will go against a power
full eleven at North Carolina, team
that is likely to be keyed up to Il
fighting point, because it has met de-
feat in the only two games in which
il has engaged. However, Maryland
might as we'll get used to facing
strong teams. because that is about
all 1t has to do from now until De-
cember 3.
Warren. who is playing tackle for
North Carolina, is a good athlete in
other sports as we'll as foot ball. He
Is at his best at boxing. as he holds
the heavyweight championship Of the
South. 1t is said he is the best tackle
North Carolina has had in years.
Whether or mot Mosko. George.

being kept on the bench for psycholog.
ical purposes or really is playing far
below his 1925 form will be seen Sat
urlay. In all probability Coach Little
will start him against Davis Elkins
and if Mosko is made of the kind of
stuff that he was a year past he will
come through in great shape.
Harvard is making much of the i'm |
portance of it's game with Purd--e this |
week, but, without casting reflections |
on tn Midwest school, it is difficult to |
understand why Harvard has been |
outstanding in Eastern foot ball. but |
Purdue has never taken rank with the |
four or five, leading institutions in the |
West. If either Chicago, Michigan. Il |
linois. Ohio State or Minnesota were |
appearing in the Harvard Stadium |
then the Crimson could afford to make |
