Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-18

Georgetown, Maryland and Gal
laudet appear in games here, be-
ginning at 2::30 o'clock. George
town against West Virginia WeS-
leyan and Maryland and Gallaudet
against each other. Catholic Uni
versity, George Washington and
American University journey to
foreign fields, the aforementioned
to Villanova, Pa; the second to
Carlisle, Pa, and the third to Ball
timore.
1t is reported In press dispatches from
Buckhannon, w. Va, that West Virginia
Wesleyan has great hopes of upsetting
GEORGETOWN, but that the Blue and
Gray will suffer such an outcome is
entirely unlikely. Georgetown, even IN
its very poor seasons, seldom has sue
cumbed more than once to smaller
school, and in all probability 1t VIII take
the measure Of the visitors by q fair
margin.
West Virginia Wesleyan in losing to
New York University by 81 to and TO
West Virginia by Is to o gave some In
dication of strength, but not enough to
warrant any real feeling that 1t has
more than q very outside chance. OF
course, almost anything can happen IN
q foot ball game in these days, and 1t Is
possible for any eleven to win any game
in which it takes part, so the opinions
ventured herein should not be taken as
indicating the inpoSsibility of victory
for West Virginia wesleyan.
Just so between Maryland and Gal
laudet. There is no reason why GAL
laudet ought to win from Maryland I'M
less it be perchance that 1t has better
/ foot ball team, but that is not saying
by any means that it cannot win.
Maryland has played some fairly good
foot ball this Fall at times despite its
one-sided defeats in two recent games,
but. on the other hand, Gallaudet made
a surprisingly good showing against st.
Johns at Annapolis In other words,
Just as at Georgetown, it is certainly
possible for the Maryland Gallaudet
game to produce some astonishing re-
suits.
George washington and Catholic
University face the strongest kind OF
opposition with Dickinson College ana
j Viilanova as their opponents. Especially
Is this true of Catholic University. II
these games result In victories, then q.
w. and @. u. followers should feel very
/ much elated. American university also
is to go against stronger opposition than
? it has faced previouGIg this season when
, it meets Baltimore University, and 1t
also may consider 1t has done some
thing worth while If it brings home
scalp.
In the East all big teams hook up
In some kind of contest that is likely
to prove all that is wanted in the way
of competition. Most important OF the
Eastern contests, in fact, most inn
portant in the country In general In
ferest, Is the one at Philadelphia be-
tween California and Pennsylvania.
Opinion seems to be very much divided
as to the outcome. All people that have
graduated, have, or have had interests
in Western schools ere pulling Tor
California and believe that California
viii win. Fasteners fail to see how
the West Coast eleven can make the
long journey at this time OF year ana
hope to be in good enough shape 10
match an eleven Of supposedly equal
power that has uninterrupted practice.
For the East the next most important
game is that at Cambridge between
Harvard and Army. Last year Army
took the measure of the Crimson by Is
to and thinks 1t is strong enough
this Fall to repeat. However, Harvard
has real faith in its foot ball product
of this season and looks forward to the
contest tomorrow not without some
feeling that it has an even chance.
Princeton, apparently weaker than a
year ago, must face q much stronger
Cornell team. At least in its games SO
far Cornell has shown indications OF
much greater power than it possessed
q year ago. Princeton won last season
by to 0.
While Princeton and Harvard are
having their troubles Yale also is likely
to be meeting considerable opposition
from Brown, probably more opposition
than 1t expected and more than Brown
was thought capable of offering until
it whipped Princeton last week. Yale,
beaten by Georgia, undoubtedly still
feels the sting sufficiently to warrant
the opinion that it will be a 10 times
harder eleven to face tomorrow than
If it had won easily from Georgia.
Pittsburgh goes out to Lincoln to
meet Nebaska, and that game should
give the Panthers an opportunity to
demonstrate their real power. Easy
victories over Duke University and
West Virginia have been scored, but
Nebraska, apparently, is stronger than
either of these.
Columbia and Dartmouth play ir
New York, and Penn State and New
York University also hook up in the
big city. The Penn Staten. Y U
contest would have been one Of the
biggest of the day had the latter moi
taken that beating last week. Another
game in the East likely to be excep-
tionally we'll played is between Carnegie
Tech and Washington and Jefferson.
out in the Middle West probably tht
most important contests are between
Northwestern and Minnesota and NotrC
Dame and Wisconsin. The Michigan
Ohio State contest had the edge taker
OF it by the whipping given Michigan
last week by Purdue. Illinois faces
Iowa, and the latter was defeated b.
Ohio State by one point. Colgate agar
plays in the Middle West, having con
test with Indiana at Bloomington.
The two big games in the South At
1antic section are Virginia and Wiz
GINA Military Institute at Charlottes
Vile. North Carolina and Georgia q
Chapel Hill Virginia has out Of tn
game two, possibly three, of its regu
lars. but still the report comes from
there that 1t is not thought the team
will be weakened a good deal. In othe
words, despite injuries to its stars
sloan and Motley, Virginia still think
II has an even chance to win from
what apparently is the greatest clever
v. M. /. has had in many years.
