Washington is seeing its first
really important football game
of the season tomorrow when
Georgetown and Duke take the
field at Clark Griffith Stadium.
The indications are that George
town should win, but not by
the margin it has defeated its
four earlier opponents, against
whom Georgetown has scored
205 points to lead the Eastern
point getters.
That Duke isn't push-over is
indicated in the fact Navy could
defeat the Durham eleven by
merely q touchdown. Take this
in conjunction with the one
touchdown margin by which
Notre Dame stopped Navy and
it isn't difficult to visualize
Dukes stubbornness.
Patrons of. the game are more
than/likely to see some splendid
punting exchanges between Jim
Mooney and Ken Strong. Be-
sides having an adept toe,
Monoey is a tackler of parts
who plays football like he en-
joyed it. Strong is known as
the Violets' triple threat star,
and by the way, "Violets" is
something very paradoxical in
the way of football nom de
plume.

With the football season hit
ting the halfway mark, noml-
nations are now in order for
all-American material and prae-
tically every section has its
candidates. With the tough
games Immediately ahead a
more definite line may be drawn
on the eleigibles, although we
hear murmurings already con-
cerning such names as eagle
and Murrell, of Army; Marsters,
of Dartmouth; Leon Westgate,
of Pennsylvania; Strong and
Lassman, of New York Univer-
sity and Niemiec, of Notre
Dame.
So far none of the Washing
ton elevens have displayed an
individual star to throw into
the all A m er an balloting.
No Connaughtons or Grigsbys
have made an appearance at
Georgetown, despite the fact
that Little's team is apparently
a strong enough machine. Ralph
Duplin had drawn attention as
a sterling back with enough
versatility to commend him for
attention, and Georgetown has
two splendid ends in Provincial
and Tomaini. Whether either
of them scintillates enough for
all-American consideration at
the end of the season is profile
matical.
