Institute Kentucky game in the
Virginia game in the afternc
plays Duke University and North
Catholic University goes to Villa
while in Baltimore the time-honol
iS,to take place.
Georgetown is expected to win from
West Virginia. The Blue and Gray
will go against an eleven that has hard
~ been measuring up to former stand
ards, although it probably will be
strong enough to put up game worthy
of worthy opponent. 1t would be a
big surprise If West Virginia were to get
away with the long end of the score,
although in full justice to the situation
1t might be mentioned that such an
ending is not in the least impossible.
However, the Blue and Gray in It's last
two games has been playing great foot
ball, much better, apparently, than West
Virginia.
This Virginia Military Institute Ken
tueky game at Lexington ought to be
gridiron gem. Both schools are repre-
sented by about the best teams in their
history and both have been playing
consistently fine foot ball. Each has
BEEN defeated only once, v. M l. in a
close game with Florida and Kentucky
in the same kind Of contest with
Alabama.
The Virginia Washington and Lee
game in the afternoon would be INFER
esting If beth elevens had lost every
game they have played. It Is one OF
those contests that usually pack the
stands, no matter what the records OF
the teams. washington ana Lee had
rather win from Virginia than any
other team on its schedule, and Viz
giria would rather lose to any other
Virginia this year has the better record.
It's play has been exceptionally good at
times and has been consistent except
for the latter part Of its contest with
Virginia Polytechnic Institute last week
Probably Virginia should be favored to
win.
Maryland goes to Norfolk for its bat
tie with v. P. I. in much better shape
physically than it made the same trip
last season, that Is, of course, provided
it gets no injuries this week. The Old
Liners came through the hard, rough
battle with Yale almost without a
scratch, and it is understood that ".
P. L was In just as good shape yester-
day as when 1t went over to Charlottes-
vile last week to meet Virginia. v. p. l.
won from Maryland last year by score
of to 6, while the year before that
Maryland was victor, Is to Z.
North Carolina University seems to
have the easiest game of any of the
bigger South Atlantic schools, although
it is likely to get some spirited eofnpeti-
ton. Davidson. while not exceptionally
strong. is strong enough togput up a
good fight against the average strong
combination. It held ". Nj. to two
touchdowns and got one itself,
North Carolina State College and
Duke University are to meet IN game
of fairly strong local interest. but both
schools have been going through such
disastrous schedules that the game has
little significance or interest outside Of
the Durham-Raleigh sector. It seems
that both are not only the weakest
elevenS In the section, but also much
weaker than they themselves have been
in years.
C. q. Meets Strong Foe.
Down at WILLIAMSBURG, Catholic uni
versity is due to face another strong
team. William and Mary is good enough
to put up a battle with any school in
the section, and IN its game with Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute had the long
end of the score at the end of the
half. although v. p. l. came back In
the second half to win by good mar
gin. However, the G. U.-William and
Mary contest should be really worth
while.
Over in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins
and st. Johns are due to settle a foot
ball argument Of long standing. The
Annapolis eleven has not been a victor
many times in recent years, although
last season 1t won by very decisive
score. Hopkins does not relish a de-
feat at the hands of st. Johns and
probably will put up its best game Of
the year.
Records of teams so far this season
~ he
so very far from what generally was
expected. Georgetown looked for one
of its best elevens. and probably has,
Notwithstanding the defeat it suffered
early in the season. Were it not for
that early reverse, entirely unexpected,
which under ordinary circumstances
would not have been sustained, the
Blue and Gray would be acclaiming its
team as one OF the greatest that has
worn its colors. And, to get down to
brass tackS, probably few former
Georgetown teams have been superior
to the present one.
North Carolina and Virginia Poly
technic Institute and Virginia Military
Institute announced right at the begin
ming Of the year that they would have
good elevens, and they have. North
Carolina unquestionably has the strong
est OUTFIT that has been in this section
in many years and certainly by far
the strongest that has ever worn North
Carolina colors And v. p. ]. never be-
fore won from both Washington and
Lee and Virginia by any such margins
as they won the two Saturdays just
gone. North Carolina State did not
expect much and 1t has not exceeded its
expectations. Duke University Is the
one school that has fallen below what
It thought 1t would turn out.
Maryland knew at the beginning that
It would not do very well at the start
of the season, but would come alons
toward the end Of the year with team
developed to the point where it woulc
stand q fairly even chance against any
