it's schedule cannot be called
representative. The general lack
of impressiveness of the Cav
anaugh-coached squad makes it
second choice.
Another game which interests
this football sector is the Ne
braska-Army tilt at West Point.
Here is almost a stand-off.
Nebraska was tied last Saturday
by Pittsburgh and Army lost to
Notre Dame on the Saturday
before by something like 6
points and 6 inches. the ball
being precariously close To Notre
Danes line when the game,
ended. However, the Cadets
had a breather last Saturday in
that 32-to-7 defeat of Carlton,
whoever h is, and may make
Nebraska step in order to win.
If eagle can be stopped then
it's goodbye Mule.
Princeton and Navy looks easy
to pick, but it is the easy ones
which fool you. Bill Roper's
Tigers have only two flaws in
their work thfs year and each of
these is a tie-one a 90 affair
with Virginia and the other a
Gall result with Ohio State.
Navy has three defeats-Davis
Elkins, Boston College, and
Notre Dame-~on its blotter and
a Michigan tie. II the Goat
butts the Tiger, the feline de-
serves all he gets.
On the other hand, Yale and
Harvard present a real problem.
Here are two teams which have
been used as doormats by some
very mediocre teams and if
either of them stands out it
is Yale and that only by very
small bump of superiority.
AS for the Carnegie Tech
New York University game,
that will be what the boys call
a dog fight. OF course the
ideal thing to happen would be
for the undefeated and united
Skibos to down the Blushing
VioIets from Gotham which will
be easier said that done. If
the New Workers can beat the
team that beat Georgetown,
some of the sting from George
towns humiliating defeat of
n. Y. IT,, win have been re-
moved. Two big teams clash
in this one and each has much
TO gain in victory--we'll let
you pick this one.

Georgetown tomorrow il up
against one Of the easier Of its
so-called tough games, in meet
ing FoIdham, and we would
like to be as sure the Hilltop
pers will defeat the unbeaten
Detroit eleven aeweek hence as
we are they will stop Fordham
cold in her tracks on the NOR
row.
If all football teams were
the same on each Saturday
they perform, the strongest
indication Of Georgetown's
alleged superiority over Ford
ham il the 81 to z defeat
handed the latter by New York
University, taken in connection
with Georgetown's 7-2 defeat
of n. 7. Il. But football teams
vary In effectiveness from
Saturday to Saturday and none
can be relied on to be as
strong, or as weak, as the case
may be, over succeeding week
ends.
That is one reason there are
so many upsets. That is the
reason the experts are becoming
fewer and fewer and why those
who do persist in forecasting
and broadcasting, become more
and more cagey, about their pre-
dictions.
With full knowledge Of the
precarious position in which
any soothsayer puts himself, it
is difficult to refrain from put
ting Georgetown on the long
end of tomorrow's game in New
York. This is not so much be-
cause of the n. Y. U.-George-
town incident, but more be-
cause Fordham's record this
year is consistently Indifferent
while Georgetown's has been
persistently good-~its only de-
feat being less humiliating
one in view of the fact that
Carnegie Techs victory over it
was not nearly so decisive or
! overwhelming as was the
Scots defeat of Notre Dame.
Fordham has lost its last
three games by two and three
touchdowns, being held score
less by West Virginia as well
as by Detroit. However, we
do not base Georgetown's
chances for vicforv en- ,s,,,ch ~
Fordham's defeat by West Vir-
ginia and N. Y. u. two of the
Hilltop victims, as we do on
F0rdham's mediocre showing
against all of it's opponents
taken as a whole.
