n only one of the local schools
that has a foot ball game to-
~ morrow on its home field. The
g"h Dis BrooklanderS entertain Loyols
College Of Baltimore and, despite the
good team that represents the visitors
expects to win. Coach Jack McAullffe'
men have confidence in tEcli ability to
take the Baltimoreans into camp.
The other local elevenS play on for
,eipn Georgetown and Carnegie
Tech at Albany George Washington at
Penn State, Gallaudet at Delaware and
Maryland at Yale.
2 Three of the local schools face rough
Shedding, with only one standing any
thing like an even chance to win.
Georgetown meets an exceptionally diff
cult opponent in Carnegie Tech, and
nobody has to be told what kind of op-
position George Washington and Mary
Hand face in pitting their strength
against Penn State and Yale.
Georgetown's game with Carnegie
Tech was transferred from Washington
TO Albany at the urgent request OF
Georgetown alumni in that section.
Georgetown Is Hopeful.
Georgetown, with the exception that
it feels Carnegie Tech has an edge in
not having played last week, is banking
on just about an even chance against
the Pittsburghers. The Blue and Gray
came through its game with New York
University well, and it again will have
its full strength available.
Georgetown'S one difficulty seems to
be that it is unusual indeed for an
eleven to play through the kind of
game it played last week and come back
Just as strong the following week. If it
does that, the Blue and Gray ought to
OF ato aoia
Tech than it did against New York
University.
George Washington has little chance
in its game with Penn State. Last year
the Buff and Blue played good game
against Bezdek'S eleven, the final count
being 13 to 0. This Fall, though, the
local team is not in as good shape as
it was in 1927 and consequently is not
likely to make as good showing. Coach
Crum has been beset by injuries and
hard luck from the beginning of the
year, it seems, and his team has not
come through, and it was hardly to
be expected that it would.
Old Liners Point to Past.
Maryland has played some good
games at Yale and on some occasions
has been very decisively whipped. Last
year it lost by 80 to 6, while the year
before that it won, Is to 0. Probably
the greatest game Maryland has ever
played anywhere was against Yale in
1928, when Yale won by Is to IA and
Maryland missed by winning by one
point when it missed dropkick by
inches in the closing moments Mary
land made 16 first downs in the game
and Yale IA. And, incidentally, Mary
land accomplished something in that
game that has never been known in any
other big game. In the first quarter it
caught the kickoff and carried the ball
for touchdown from the l25-yard mark
without losing possession of it.
Yale again kicked off and Maryland
again carried the ball for a touchdown
without losing possession of it. In other
words, Maryland made two touchdowns
against Yale without Yale ever getting
possession of the ball, really remark
able feat. Yale right now seems to
have the best ground-gaining eleven
that has ever worn its colors.
Gallaudet also makes trip to play
Delaware. The Kendall Greeners are
expecting to put up a good battle
against the school representing the Blue
Hen State and think they have an
even chance for victory.
Baltimore Game Attracts.
With only the Catholic University
1,oyola game here, it is likely that the
great majority Of local foot ball fol-
lowers will make the journey to Balti-
more TO see Navy and Michigan play
Undoubtedly that should be the best
contest anywhere in this section.
Navy got bad start this Fall, but
seems to have struck its stride and
ought to stand pretty nearly and even
chance against the Michigan eleven
unless the Middle Westerners go wild
throwing passes as they did three years
ago.
While Navy is battling Michigan in
Baltimore, Army will be showing its
stuff against Notre Dame. On the face
of the showing of the two elevens Army
ought to be comparatively easy VIC
tor, although 1t would not be a sur
prise If the Rockne outfit were to walk
off with the long end of the score
OF course, that is going long way
especially considering the fine record
Army has made and the rather poor
showing, comparatively speaking, that
has been Notre Danes.
Harvard and Pennsylvania open re-
lationships again. Not much impor-
tance will attach to the contest from a
general point of view, as both have been
whipped Yale will watch the game
because of its great interest in the
Harvard eleven and Cornell Is sure tc
pay lot of attention to Pennsylvania
The Dartmouth Brown game, one oi
the big games in New England, and
the big game for both schools is to be
played at Hanover.
Big Game at Atlanta.
The biggest game in the South il
that at Atlanta between Vanderbilt anC
Georgia Tech. Neither has been de.
feated this season by any other clever

over a strong Northern team. Their
