NJ 1OCdA ACdbuIt VI IilS week III
foot ball. George Washington
has a contest scheduled in
the Central Stadium with City College
of New York which ought to produce
some good competition. In fact the
game in which the Buff and Blue is to
show its wares on its home field for the
first time will see it with the strongest
lineup it has had on the field this
year, and probably with any kind of
breaks, better than an even chance for
victory
So far George Washington has been
travelling a rocky road. 1t has met
defeat at the hands of Fordham,
Lafayette and st. Francis. the last,
almost an unknown, by decisive scores.
However. in the first game with Ford
ham, in which a good showing was
MADE, several players went out with
injuries and the team in the last two
contests has not been in shape to do
its best.
Saturday the strongest lineup that
has been on the field since the start
of the season will be named to take
the field. Clapper and Lopeman, two
star backs, are due to perform again,
which insures a lot more work for the
defense of the opposing eleven.
George washington has not been
overly blessed with material, and the
loss of two men out of the lineup is
almost an irreparable disaster. as far
es the possibility of victory is con-
cerned. Reserve strength is at mini
mum and an injury to a George Wash
1ngton player means lot more than the
loss OF a player on the average team
The return of Lopeman and Clapper to
the lineup means that Gates and Carey
will go back to their line positions, and
rs substitute backs they undoubtedly
are much better as regular forwards.
City College of New York, while not
one or the strongest teams of that Sec
ton. generally is able to put I'D a game.
It expects to defeat George Washington.
II reports from Gotham are true but
probably is not reckoning with the
stronger eleven that George Washington
VIII have on the field If George Wash
1ngtons squad is in the best of shape
physically, the score should be chalked
up in its favor for the first time this
year.
GeorgetOwn's game with Duke Uni
TerSity ought to provide some of the
pest fool ball of the year Duke comes
mere with an eleven that actually out
gained the Navy last week, and which
would give any opponent a lot of troll
pie. In all probability the odds will
FAVOR Georgetown to win by a small
margin, but the game itself will be one
worth seeing. Both teams will gain
ground, and both will advance through
the use OF spectacular and interesting
system OF ofenSe. Considerable SINH
nar1ty exists between the types of Of
Tense used by the two elevens.
Georgetown will have its best eleven !
on the nelo, and Coach Little, while not |
TOO optimistic, feels that his team has |
the stuff to win if it displays what If |
actually is capable Of AS Little puts it.
Il feel that we are good enough to win. /
out tnat We shall have to put forth far
greater enortS TO overcome 10 times the /
opposition that We have so far faced. In
other words, If we do our best we can
WIN. II we don't, anything may happen.
because we are not Understanding in /
the least the ability of the team being |
coached by Jimmie De Hart
Catholic University goes to Eunitts-
burg 70 play Mount st. Mary's. Coach |
Jack McAuliffe may have to face the |
Marylanders without his star flillback. |
Malevich, as that player has a badly |
bruised leg as result of the battle |
with William and Mary last week. NC |
AuIlne feels that his men have an even |
chance against Mount ST. Mary's al |
though he cannot afford to lose a single |
man without greatly weakening his |
Team, so few and far between are
capable substitutes.
GalAaudet goes to Susquehanna Uni
verSlty Tor a game. Suscuehanna lost
here to Georgetown early in the wear bv |
big score, but will be on its home field |
and ought to have the advantage of |
the Kendall Greeners. Coach Teddy |
Hughes, though, has a fighting outfit |
and has drilled it well in fundamentals
and sound system of offense and de- |
tense, so that he is more than a match |
Tor any school in its class.
American University plays at home
having game with the Shenandoah |
eleven. This team ought to be some
what OF the same strength as the |
Methodists, and the latter ought to
make much better showing than in |
their previous games.
