HOYAS ENCOUNTER
FIRST Strong FOE
Durham Eleven Expected to
Prove Test-0ther Local
VarSities Play.
BY H. C. BYRD.
OCAL colleges take part in three
foot ball games on their home
fields tomorrow. Most important

Duke University at Griffith Sta
dunn, while the one between George
washington and City College of New
York in the Central High School Sta
dunn ranks next American University
entertains the Shenandoah eleven in
the other contest.
--.as;derable interest is being shown
In the GeorgeSSo=='c...-Duke meeting. Not
only is it recognized that the game
should develop some of the best foOC 2all
of the year, but Georgetown people espe-
cially are anxious to see how their team
is going to stack up against strong
opponent.
The Blue and Gray so far has been
only in games that were easily won,
games In which the opposing eleven was
anything but capable of providing stern
opposition, and its followers really want
to know Just how we'll their machine
will fare against Duke as a criterion of
what it may accomplish in even harder
games to come.
Duke has team capable Of putting up
q good game against any eleven II may
face, and it makes no secret OF the IacV
that it expects to give Georgetown bat
tie. OF course, it may not and George
town may win easily, but Duke does not
expect that kind of a result at all. II
1t fails to put up hard struggle ana
give Georgetown all that is desired In
the way of strenuous opposltlon, tnen
the Duke squad is due to go PACK 10
Durham a much disappointed organiza-
ton.
Coach Jimmie DeHart usually is an
optimistic young man. He never beneVeS
any team of his is whipped until atter
the final whistle has blown, and then,
even If it has the short end OF the score.
he can figure a dozen ways 1t shouio
have won. And DeHart is good coacn,
one who understands foot ball ana is
able to get about as much out OF ms
team as anybody. else could. II DUKE
fails to make the kind OF showing
against Georgetown it thinks 1t should
Jimmie DeHart will net be responsible.
Coach Lou Little Of Georgetown has
heen driving his forces all this week TO
have them fit for their first hard strug-
gle of the year. Against Duke, Little
expects the most difficult opposition by
far that he has faced this season, ana
has tried to impress on his men tnab
they must be at their best in order 70
win. Georgetown has had easy sailing
in its previous games, but knows tnaI
tomorrow's is cne entirely different:
Duke is made up of far better material
than any eleven Georgetown has pre-
viously faced, it will be filled with
finer fighting spirit, and it will be Tar
better coached, and these things
combined make good foot ball ma
chine.
Georgetown and Duke should play
one of the best games OF the year on
local fields. Anybody that makes the
tourney to Clark Grifiths athletic
plant tomorrow afternoon Is not likely
to come away disappointed in the klnd
of foot ball he, or she, has watched.
George Washington is likely to make
A much better showing In Its game
with CITY College of New York than
1t has in any of its previous contests.
The Buff and Blue was so crippled up
as a result of its games with Lafayette
and Fcrdham that it was only sneH
of its self against st. Francis last week.
IT has lost all three games by decisive
scores. but this week has back In its
lineup something like its full strength.
Iopenlan is in the backfleld, although
Clapper will not be able to start.
Unless City College Of New York Is
better than thought, George Washing
ton ought to break into the won column.
Last year the local school won from the
New Yorkers, and tomorrow it expects
to be about as strong as it was then.
Catholic University goes to Emmitts--
b,,r1 To meet Mount st. Marys, and
while It expects a hard game is OF the
opinion that no less than an even
chance for victory awaits it. Coach
McAuliffe has a backfleld that will go
well against any team in any game
tn which his line is not decisively out
played.
MARYLAND makes the journey to Rich
mond to play Virginia Military 1nsti-
tute. The Lexington eleven did not
start the season very well, being held
to a tie by Richmond, but then it
went to Atlanta and put up great
battle with Georgia Tech, and last week
il trimmed Virginia, 8 to 0. When it
Is considered that Virginia held Prince
TON to a 0-to0 tie the week before, not
much more is needed to indicate that
v. NJ I. has come rapidly and Is just
lbout strong enough to give any school
N the section all that Is looked for in
the way of competition.
Maryland Is not in very good shape
for the game, three of its four backs
being so badly bruised that they have
not been able to practice all this week.
MARYLAND knows that it must stop
Barnes in order to repeat its victory
of last season, when it won, 10 to 6, as
that back is one of the best ball carriers
in the South. He almost won from
Maryland last season by reason Of his
prowess as an individual.
GaIIaudet goes to Selingsgrove, Pa,
20 meet Susquehanna University. Sus-
ouehanna lost to Georgetown here
earlier in the year by big margin, but
at that Gallaudet will be lucky to win.
Facing Susquehanna on the latter's
home field is not an easy task for the
Kendall GreenerS, however bravely they
battle.
American University ought to stand
a fair chance of winning from Shenan-
doah, as the latter is more in the class
of the MethodistS than the teams they
have been playing.
Yale and Army are playing the lead
ing roles tomorrow in the Eastern foot
ball world, despite the claShing of big
teams at other places. The stage seems
set for one Of the greatest struggles OF
the year; probably the greatest. Ger
tain at this stage of the game no other
two teams loom up as strong enough to
put up the kind of contest that the
Soldiers and the Bulldog will Much
already has been said of the game, and
suffice it here to mention that anybody
who wants to see just about the maxi
mum of good play along the Atlantic
seaboard this year would do we'll to
spend tomorrow afternoon in New
Haven.
While Yale and Army are battling at
New Haven, Princeton will be meeting
Cornell at Princeton and Harvard fac
ing Dartmouth at Cambridge The
Princeton Cornell contest seems to be
something of toss-up, but UP at Cam
bridge Dartmouth should be favored to
win. Neither game has anything like
the aspect of the Yale-Army, though
there ought to be plenty of good, hard
and well played foot ball in each.
Out in the Middle West two great
