OF course, st. Louis may not be
as good as was indicated by its
showing against the West Viz
ginians. in which case Georgetown
may get a two or three touchdown
victory.
On the other hand, it is entirely pos
sible that the Blue and Gray may get
all the competition it is looking for and
a little more. It Is just one OF the
games about which little really is known
and which must remain something OF
an unknown quantity until after 1t is
played.
Can't Dope G. U. Team.
Georgetown has been putting in some
strenuous ticks this week. The Blue
and Gray has made some shifts and
some requirements in its lineup, partly
from a desire to attain increased ef-
ficiency. but largely from necessity be-
cause of injuries. Coach Lou Little Is
hoping for the best, but is making no
predictions. He realizes the big ques-
ton mark that exists in the makeup
of every revamped eleven, and 1t Is
something of a revamped team that
Little will send into the game tomorrow.

it last year by 81 to Z. The Old Lines
meet South Carolina, too. after having
suffered a humiliating defeat at the
hands of North Carolina. Maryland,
however is likely to be somewhat
stronger against South Carolina than
it was a week ago, as it is. likely that
both Roberts and Miller will be avail
able for backfield positions. Also Heagy

South Carolina will have a versatile
and powerful eleven on the field. 1t
lost to Virginia last week by to 6, only
after it had gained total Of more than
$50 yards. In zobel it has back who
is about as brilliant a ball carrier as
one could find anywhere. The Palmetto
State team has peculiar and puzziing

mechanical strategy. South Carolina
plays a brilliant and spectacular style
of game, depending for most of its gains
on shaking loose for long gains one by
one Of its fast and elusive backs.
Gallaudet on Trial
Gallaudet College probably is up
against q more difficult proposition,
comparatively speaking, than any other
local school. It plays its first college
game with st. Johns at Annapolis and
st. Johns has a team that is well able
to take care of itself in competition far
more strenuous than Gallaudet has been
offering in the last two or three years.
Catholic University meets in Balti-
more University team that was de-
feated by Western Maryland, "a to 0, a
score that might have been much larger
had Western Maryland desired to run
it up. It would seem, therefore, that
Catholic University ought to win by a
fair margin, provided it maintains the
standard Of play it has set in previous
George Washington and American
University meet in the Eastern High
School stadium The Buff and Blue
lost its first game by four touchdowns.
while American University won from
Shenandoah Valley Academy by wide
margin. However, there was a vast
difference in the caliber of the team
that beat George Washington and the
one that lost to American u.
All local games begin at 2:30 o'clock,
except the one between American u
and George Washington, which is
scheduled at $50. The Gallaudet-St
Johns game also will be played in the
morning.
OF greater interest than any other
foot ball game hereabouts is that be-
tween Navy and Notre Dame in Balti-
more. Much already has been written
OF it and there is not much more to say
except that 1t is one of the. few oppor-
tunities that local people get to watch
one OF what are generally termed the
big games of the year. Navy is said to
have a great team, and Navy feels IL
does have one of its strongest COM
binations. Notre Dame always is good
and when two good big teams meet, the
result usually is a fine exhibition Of
foot ball. A great many local people
probably far more than are likely tt
watch either of the four local games
will make the journey to Baltimore.
Wisconsin and Northwestern, Ohio
State and Iowa meet in two big games
in the Western Conference. Michigan
and Purdue also hook up in that con-
ference and all three games ought to
be well worth seeing. Probably a
much dash and fire will be shown ir
these contests as in any of the year
though the precision and mechanical
exactness of November play are not
likely to be in evidence. Out in the
Middle West opinion seems to attach
more importance to the Michigan.
Purdue game than to either of the
other two, though no definite reason
for it seems to have been given.
