Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-30

But in addition to these three
games, which it was apparent last
week were likely to be hard
fought, others developed into real
struggles and one a big upset.
Down at Athens, Ga, the Univer-
sity of Georgia, stirring up the
whole South over its approaching
game with Yale, sat meekly down
before it's first opponent, when
Oglethorp University marched up
from Atlanta and won by IA to Z.
By all accounts of the game, 1t was
not fiuke victory, either, and Georgia
simply was outplayed. 1t was a hafd
blow to the defeated eleven, coming as
it did on the eve of game with Yale.
a game in which Georgia was expected
to uphold the prestige OF Southern
foot ball.
Pennsylvania got a fill of good foot
ball from little Franklin and Marshall
It eked out a victory by two touchdowns
to one, only because one OF its backs
grabbed a Kickoff and ran 80 yards for
a touchdown. The QuakerS did not
make the showing they expected, or
else the Franklin and Marshall eleven
was far stronger than it ordinarily IS
Penn probably will have to go at 1ar
better gait in its future contests II II
is to accomplish what it hopes 10
against such elevens as 1t is to meet.
Brown Is Surprised.
Brown University ran into snag at
Springfield, the Y. M. c. A. College
there proving too strong by margin OF
7to6. Brown probably never had much
thought of opening its season that way.
Another game in New England. Wnicn,
while not between two especially strong
teams, developed plenty of close play
was that in which Massachusetts, Aggies
won from Bates by to 6. incidentally,
the Penn Franklin and Marshall game
was not the only close one played
around Philadelphia, as Dickinson ana
Ursinus went through to tie. while
Swarthmore barely beat out Drexei
II to 8.
Down South the Southern Methodist
University was held to 13 to Is tie oy
Howard Payne, and Mississippi A. ana
M, could get only 0 to tie with
Henderson Brown as its opponent. Iness
were cases of schools with couple OF
thousand students failing against mucn
smaller institutions, numbering perhaps
enrollments OF four or five hunoreo.
the only school that had battle on its
hands, as University of Nevada sue
cumbed to Brigham Young University
by 7 to 10.
Georgetown and Maryland won their
oneninR games by fair scores, Wnlle
Catholic University was beaten by Bos-
ton College by one touchdown MOI
withstanding it was defeated, Catnonc
University probably deserves more creolt
for its showing than either OF the Two
schools that we're victOrS. The BrooK-
landers took a long journey right at
the opening of It's season to meet

much stronger class, but notW1tnstano-

ponents and probably would have got

officials not caused condition Wnlcn
gave Boston College its second touch
down. The game unquestionaoly SHOWS
that Coach Jack McAullf1e knew wnat
he was talking about when he said be-
fore the season opened that c. U. would
have a much stronger eleven this Fall.
Hoyas, Terrapins Unpublished.
While Georgetown and Maryland were
rather easy victors, it is said that
neither did anything especially wonder
full. They were against weak eleVens
much opposition as they apparently did.
A good deal of shaping up Will have
to be done If the Blue and Gray and
Old Liners are to do well in their games
this week. Georgetown is not facing
such a proposition as Maryland is. but
even SO it will not be in position to
fool around much, because western
Maryland Is not going to be a setup.
Under ordinary conditions Titles team
should beat the Western Maryland
eleven by three touchdowns, but 1t will
not be able to do any loafing between
now and game time.
MARYLAND meets in North Carolina q
real foot ball team. In fact, it Is doubt
full II right now there are many better
elevens in the East, and unless the Old
Liners want to get pushed around quite
a good deal they had better get down
to brass tacks and put in some of the
hardest ticks they have ever given to
preparation for a foot ball game.
Nays 47-to-0 score against DeniSon
indicates that the Midshipmen are
ready this Fall with one of their most
powerful combinations. During the frs
