w today for its game with
v Maryland tomorrow after
noon at 2:3O o'clock at
Clark Grifith's ball yard. The Gen

machines in the South, and eXpect
nothing less than an even chance 1oT
victory. The team Will remain mere

The game between washington aIlu
Tee and Maryland is expected to be a
renetition of the close battles OF the
last three years, with one or the otner
winning by very small margin
WASHINGTON and Lee has spent almost
fhe entire week building up defense
for Maryland's attack, and expects 10
have more success stopping 1t tnan
Virginia did. The Generals nave peen
,,aving special attention to the forward
mass. with which Maryland has peen
successful all year, and have been CIV
ing a lot of practice to the hal1oacKs
with the special caution that tney are
mot to be drawn in too fast, a common
fault with good many secondary oe-
fense players.
In preparation for the game MARY.
land has done little other than try 10
pet its men in shape for another haro
Struggle. The Old Liners have Spent
the week brushing up on their plays
and perfecting as much as poSslnie
their offense. With Maryland, as Win
washington and Lee, and, for tnat
matter with any eleven tnat plays
hard game every week, IL mas peei,
more a case of preventing the squad
going off color through staleneSs IMAM
anything else.
Washington and Lee and Maryland
play pretty much the same Klno "a
schedules. meeting strong Teams esTty g
week and usually winning or losing py
small scores. washington and Lee mas
lost more games this season than II mas
won. but has played such teams as
Tennessee. Princeton, West Virginia,
Kentucky and others of that canoer.
The team got away to a good SIart py
trimming North Carolina State 80 to o,
and since that has played good foot
ball despite several defeats by sn1aA
scores.
Behind Washington and Lees line Is
White. generally regarded as one OF the
best fullbacks in the South, one Wno
can carry a ball about as well as any
body. Few backs in the South have
gained more ground in the last three
seasons. including the present one, than
White. Whites best mate behind the
line is Billy Lott, who last year was ex-
pected to develop into one OF the hnest
backs that ever wore the Generals
colors. Washington and Lee also has a
fine line, led by Fitzpatrick, captain ana
tackle, who stands over six feet ana
weighs more than 200 pounds.
Maryland will throw against Wash
ington and Lees array of backs a. line
and backfield that have withStood some
savage assaults since the beginning OF
The Season. and probably will have to
Withstand some more when they face
the Generals attacking machine. Mary
land also has behind its line one or two
backs who are not by any means easy
TO stop.
Both elevens play an open style OF
game that makes the most interesting
kind of foot ball. And the game itself
should be well played from a purely
technical viewpoint.
Washington and Lee and Maryland
both have tough battles to look to i've
days after they play tomorrow. Ine
former goes to Jacksonville to meet
Florida and the latter to Baltimore to
play Hopkins. The Maryland Hopkins
game has a setting that dates back TO
1892, while Washington and Lees con-
test with Florida is of recent beginning.
Washington and Lee is coached by
Pat Heron, former Pittsburgh Star,
and athletics generally are managed by
Dick Smith, a Washington and Lee
graduate Both are fine fellows and
Know exactly what they want to do and
how to do it in everything they under
take.
While Maryland and Washington and
Zee are battling on the local grldlron,
georgetown will be at Fordham for its
annual struggle with that eleven. The
Blue and Gray left here last night and
will get brief workout in New York
today. 1t expects to take the measure
of the Gothanites, though not by as
big a margin as last year. Coach Little
Said before leaving that if his team
came up to his expectations it ought to
win.
GaIIaudet is due to meet Bridgewater
College here and ought to wind up its
season with a victory. The Kendall
Greeners have fought through their
schedule with scant material, IN COM
pariScn to what they have had to face
an opposing squads, and deserve all the
credit they can be given.
Yale and Harvard are set for their
annual struggle. The result of the con-
test will go far to determine which team
will have successful year and which
will not. Certainly the loser is not going
to look back upon its season with any
special degree, of pleasure and salts
faction, but the winner can take lot
OF comfort out of the fact that it at
tanned the one goal it most desired. Nc
