FORESEE
VICTORY
By Juno Kinerk


Football enthusiasm is at its
highest pitch and the grid
game is enjoying the most
popularity it ever has at
American University t h e s e
days.
Two victories in as many starts
Zone more than the team earned
ell last season. has provided the
fuel for the great spirit out at the
Massachusetts Avenue Heights in
stitution. The next object on the
Eagles schedule is the game with
Baltimore University Saturday in
Baltimore and Coach Walter
Palmer is driving his men to make
1t three in row.
Baltimore L has failed to score
on any of its three opponents this
season, but Coach Young attributes
this to the fact that they have
PLAYED teams too strong for them
and Is guarding his own team
against overconfidence. There is
d
American U. team as the result OF
its objective victory over George
Washington and the Eagle coach
has his hands full holding his men
In check.
Oliver Targee, stellar half
back, who has been bothered
with a more or less bad hip Is
now O. k. and gives the Eagles
that much more strength Often
sively for he ia perhaps the
best running back on the squad.
Red Olsen is another backfield
man whose recent work has been
pleasant surprise to the Eagle
coach. In fact. his work in the
G. w. game was outstanding, AL
ternating with Jack LaF'aVre in
carrying the ball, this pair put on
drive that gave the Eagles its
touchdown after a steady 60-yard
march down the field. All this was
most encouraging to American u.
supporters, who easily foresee the
most successful football year in
American U. history.
Coach Young is leaving no stone
unturned in his preparations for
the game Saturday. and is putting
his men through hard scrimmage
sessions today to have them in top
shape. On the whole he is fairly
we'll satisfied with his charges. but
Is stressing the fact that Interior
ence could be much improved upon
and also protection for the punter
developed to a higher degree Of per-
fo1~e
properly taken care of mis- team
will be considerably improved
One Of the most pleasing de-
velopments at Georgetown is the
way Wvnkoop has taken To play
ing end in place of the injured
Provincial. The former center has
been a revelation in his new posi-
ton. while Morris has filled the bill
at center in great shape. Coach
Little had little idea when he maze
the shift that Wynkoop would be
able to deliver the kind of ball he
did against st. Louis U. But it re
mains that he did and that with
added experience in the wing berth
he ought to become still better
Johnny BOzek is coming
around nicely, too, and it may
not be long before the sensa.
ti0nal speedster starts doing
some Of his copyright stuff. He
Is looking better every day in
practice.
Coach Teddy Hughes at Gallau-
Diet is determined to have his team
ready to give Maryland quite a bat
tie Saturday. There was a deal of
fumbling and loose handling of The
pigsktn by his men which he has
set about correcting with painstak-
ing care. With this fault corrected
he feels that his men will he
prined to give the Old Liners quite
q battle of it.
4 long scrimmage in which an
squal share of time will be spent
against Villanova plays and in try
ing their own pet plays confronts
the Catholic U. squad today and
tomorrow. Although a c. u. vic
tory over VilIanova is considered
quite remote. yet the Cardinal
coaches feel that if their boys get
hot" the chance is not so remote
as 1t might appear to he on paper
and according lY are pointing their
