Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-25

and university OF Maryland Is 3
elevens in the South in meeting y
inond.
Georgetown's game with Le-
banon Valley offers lot of pos
sibilities. The Blue and Gray has
not been doing as well as it had
hoped and the days of practice so
far have not seeemd to solve the
problems under which the coaches
have been laboring.
The Blue and Gray meets in Lebanon
Valley an eleven that under ordinary
circumstances should be whipped by
q fairly big score, but right now it is
impossible to give even a fair idea of
what the result may be. If Georgetown
hits anything like its stride of last
season, then Lebanon Valley will go
back to Pennsylvania a badly whipped
team, but If 1t plays mediocre foot ball
such as 1t has shown at times this
season, then anything may happen.
Lebanon Valley is not weak by any
means, as it has defeated Franklin
Marshall, which gave Pennsylvania
real battle in its opening game.
Gallaudet, which also plays on its
home field, will beat Shenandoah Col
lege rather easily, If everything hap
pens according to Hoyle. The Kendall
Green players are much better than
they have been given credit for, while
their opponents to be are very weak.
incidentally it might be mentioned
right here that the Gallaudet eleven
Is distinct accomplishment of Coach
Teddy Hughes, a member of the faculty
who directs the activities of the eleven.
Hughes not only teaches good foot ball
but he teaches the kind of foot ball
that is of real value to the character
and future of his men.
George Washington expected to have
an even chance against City College of
New York, had conditions been such
1t could have put on the field its strong
est combination. However, injuries are
keeping out two or three of the best
men, and the Colonials are not optinis
tic.
Catholic University and American
University seem to have something like
even battles on hand. The Brooklanders
believe they have fair chance to take
Rutgers scalp. while the Methodists
are figuring on pretty nearly an even
break with Loyola, Notwithstanding the
Eeputed strength of the latter.
Maryland, by comparison, has about
the hardest task of any of the local
schools. The Old Liners go to Rich
strongest eleven that has ever repre-
sented v. M. /, and will be considered
the underdog. Last week V. M. !. gave
Virginia real walloping, and actually
seemed more superior to the Cavaliers
than the score of three touchdownS TO
one indicated. Maryland, however, de-
spite another shift in its backf1eld, Is
In shape to play the best foot ball game
it has put up this year. Its squad is In
better physical condition and the team
knows more foot ball and Is capable
Of more consistent play.
With the season fast approaching its
zenith, big games are scheduled IN
every section of the country. VWtualy
eyery eleven in the East has a contest
of major importance. Yale and Prince
ton are to engage in two of the biggest
games, the former with Army and the
latter with Navy. The two service
eIevens were victorS in these contests
last year, and the Bulldog and Tiger
are anxious to even up.
While Yale and Princeton are en-
Raging such strong opponents, Harvard
will have one hardly any weaker when
It faces Dartmouth. The Big Green
goes down to Cambridge every year with
the hope of winning the greatest honor
ii can think of in foot ball, With the
possible exception of beating Brown, Its
long l1onored rival. Sometimes Dart
mouth beats Harvard, but usually the
Crimson has been too strong.
other games in the East that should
be much better than the ordinary are
Brown vs. Syracuse, Penn State VS.. La
fayette, Notre Dame VS.. Carnegie Tech.
Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh have what
ought to be fairly easy contests.
out In the Middle West the most
important contests seem to be between
Chicago and Purdue, Illinois and Mich
igan, Ohio State and Indiana, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa. The contest between
Michigan and Illinois should be the
rivalry between these school is just
about as close to bitter" as between
any other two institutions in that sec
ton. The Observation-Disclosures game
hardly is less important than the
Michigan-I Illinois meeting.
In the Far West the major contest
is between Stanford and Southern Cali
fornia. The former lost to the Los
Angeles School last year, 10 to 0. These,
with California represent about the
strongest elevens in the Far West.
Major games in the South just about
take in those scheduled in the Southern
Conference. In the Far South Georgia
and Florida hook up at Jacksonville
and Tulane and Georgia Tech at New
orleans. These ought to be the best
played games. though the one between
Alabama and Sewanee may be eXcep-
tional. Washington and Lee and Ten
ressee at Roanoke, North Carolina VS..
virginia Polytechnic Institute at Chapel
Hill and Virginia Military Institute VS..
Maryland at Richmond comprise the
Conference contests in this section.
