versity. Georgetown entertains Wes
Virginia Wesleyan, and will treat tha
school as we'll as is consistent with
treatment for guest on an occasion oi
this kind. Maryland has Western
Maryland College visiting at College
Park, and about the only thing Western
Maryland would rather have than g
foot ball victory over Maryland woulo
be a million or two dollars from the
Rockefeller Foundation.
Catholic University goes to Williams
burg for a night contest with William
and Mary, and the Brooklanders will
have their hands full. George Wash
ington plays st. Francis at Altoona, Pa
Georgetown should not have much
difficulty beating West Virginia WeS-
leyan, as that school has done nothing
to indicate that it has strength enough
to stand much of chance here. OF
course, that is said with the always
present possibility of team playing
way over its head and accomplishing
about 10 times more than might ordi-
narily be expected of 1t. In the ordinary
course of events though, Georgetown
will find the game just about what it
wants, good developing agent to put
its eleven in good shape to begin the
series of hard contests it must begin to
play next week when Duke University
comes here
Western Maryland will provide all the
opposition Maryland is looking for, and
perhaps more. Western Maryland's line
is older, heavier and more experienced
than the College Park forwards, and its
hackf1eld is heavier However, the
visitors are losing three men by reason
Of eligibility rules under which the
game is being played, and one OF. those
three men is Greasy Neale, who rates
among the best backs in the country.
He is the same Neale who used to play
In the backfleld for the Marines against
Georgetown. Without him, though,
Western Maryland has plenty left. And
the visitors are well coached, being un-
der the direction of Dick Harlow, former
Colgate and Penn State coach.
Gallaudet ought to win from Ameri-
can University. The Kendall Green
eleven has some versatile backs and a
fairly capable forward wall, while
American University hardly is in the
has been getting in its contests This
chap Dyer, who really is clever back
and would be on almost any eleven,
ought to run wild against the Meth
odists.
Catholic University will be against a
good team when 1t meets William and
Mary, but probably not quite as good as
last year. The Brooklanders, though,
viii get plenty of opposition, and should
consider that they have done mighty
well if they win.
The Army Harvard game is the head
line contest Of the country tomorrow.
No. doubt Harvard has been getting
ready for this game with much more
stringent preparation than it has been
won't to make use Of in preparing for
most Of its october meetings. The
Crimson would like to beat Army, and,
while Army generally is rated as being
far superior and to have by far the bet
ter. chances Of victory, 1t would not be
as much Of surprise as some persons
think If Crimson victory were chalked
up.
Penn State, beaten by BuckneIl 6 to o,
is going down to Philadelphia tomorrow
to attempt to redeem its fortunes at the
expense of University of Pennsylvania.
The Quakers, on the opposite side of
the fence, of course, do not intend to
allow that to happen If it can possibly
be helped, and such intentions on the
part Of both parties concerned usually
result in whale Of foot ball game.
Another contest in the East which
win draw a good deal of attention is
that at Lincoln between Syracuse Uni
versity and Nebraska. The Nebraska
eleven always is big and strong, usually.
having, like Minnesota, a lot of young
giants in its roster of individuals. Syra-
cuse itself is never a group of weaklings,
and both schools know how to play foot
ball. The result Of such a meeting nat
urally is good foot ball, and combined
with the good foot ball will be naturally
a greater interest because of the inter-
sectional aspect attached to the contest.
Syracuse has a clean slate so far, but 1t
may consider itself fortunate if 1t still
has that record after tomorrow.
Alabama and Tennessee play one of
the big games in the South. The latter
appears at Tuscaloosa, and Alabama
people are expecting to take the long
end of the score. Alabama this year ap-
parently has another great team, if the
are any criterion. A letter from an
Alabama man yesterday said: You
ought to see our team go. We have
the best team we have ever had. Just
watch U.s." Tomorrow's game with Ten
nessee ought to tell definitely If en-
thusiasm or real actual strength
prompted that letter.
Virginia and Virginia Military Insti-
tute meet at Lexington for their annual
battle The Charlottesville eleven has
been going better than the one at Lex
ington, although v. M. I. has an un-
canny way Of giving Virginia a great
battle when least expected to. This
year Virginia, despite its defeat by
south Carolina, has one of its best
elevens In fact, Virginia people feel
that Virginia is better than at any time
since 1916 and its 0-to-0 tie at Prince
ton indicates that they are not far
from right.
Probably the best game in the whole
South Atlantic section will be that at
Chapel Hill between North Carolina and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. These
two elevens have shown considerable
strength and are about as good as any
IN the South, with the possible excep-
defeated by strong Northern schools
North Carolina by Harvard and v. P.
by Colgate.
Washington and Lee goes out tC
Charleston w. Va, to meet West Vir.
ginia University and the game between
these rivals usually Is productive oi
good play. The two schools have beer
meeting in Charleston for several year:
and have built up one of the bigges
games in that region. Last year the!
battled to a 6-to-6 tie.
Princeton ought to have an easy timt
Of it beating Lehigh, and Yale prob
ably will take the measure of Brown
Once in every so aften Lehigh ant
Brown slip over victory on the team
Of the caliber of Yale and Princeton
but such occasions are rare and ia
between.
Chicago is i'm for another beating Il
all probability, as it entertains Mime
sofa. The team coached by Fats
