Gallaudet is the lone member
Of Washington's collegiate foot
bah circle to get into action to
day, opposing Shepherds College
on the Kendall Green grtd1ron ~
2 o'clock. It is the last game OF
the year for the local team and
. victory viii give it highly sue
cessful season.
The only other grid game here
ahouts today is the West Virginia
Wesleyan Navy encounter at An
napolis. It also gets under way
at 2 o'clock and should furnish
the Middies, with fine tune.ur
contest for their big game with
Dartmouth in Philadelphia next
Saturday.
), Last fall Shepherds gave Gal
Audet q mighty stiff argument
before succumbing to the superior
attack of the home eleven. The
final count was 80 to 20, but fol
the first half the West Virginians
battled the Blues on even terms
and the score was 2O-all when the
whistle blew for intermisSion.
While little is known Of the
strength Of the invaders
Coach Teddy Hughes has his
Gallaudet team ut Its full
strength for tOday's contest,
and, to . man, the team Is
prepared to give its best to
wind up the season with vic
tory.
The Kendall Greeners have had
o highly successful season thus
far with victories over Shenan
doah, Baltimore University and
Susquehanna to counterbalance
defeats by st. Johns, Maryland
and Temple. Thus, a triumph
in today's engagement means the
difference between winning and
losing season. Equipped with a
fine running game, Gallaudet
also possesses q great forward
passing pair in Hokansorl and
Monaghan. Capt. Johnny Ringle
is the ace of the Gallaudet
backfield and Is one of the best
backs in this section. He can
buck a line or skirt the ends with
the best Of them and is a mighty
hard man to down. The visitors
are. well aware of this, for II
was Ringle who practically single
handed beat them last fall by
his brilliant gaining.
West Virginia Wesleyan, which
gave Georgetown a very trouble
some afternoon of it here five
weeks ago before succumbing
Y9 to 0, should furnish Navy with
plenty of opposition. However
the Bobcats are forced to play
without four of their stars be
1ause of Nays three-year rule.
The last football game in
Washington between college
/ elevens will be staged Thanks
giving Day with George
Washington and Catholic Uni
versity staging their tradi-
tiOnal battle. .......-..
Although this years combat
between the two varsity eleven:
lacks the appeal of those in pas
years because of the pitiful show
ing of the Colonials to date. the
battle between the rival freshman
elevens, which will be played
along with varsity game in q
i double-header attraction, SHOULD
more than compensate the fans
!, As matters now stand the c. y
varsity appears as an easy win
Haer, but the G. w. freshmen
figure to outscore the Carolina
yearlings.
However, Eddie LaF'ond has 9
nice, scrappy bunch of player;
on his c. U. frosh eleven anC
they may surprise the Colonia
youngsters. The latter have haC
q good year, losing only to the
Western Maryland freshman
team by s to Z. So, too, has ths
Catholic University freshmen
team had a fine year, going
through the season undefeated
The two teams haven't met q
common foe SO no direct line OF
comparison may be drawn or
them. Their greater weight ano
experience makes the Colonials
O slight favorite.
Maryland finds time these DAYS
to polish up its formations for
the two tough games remaining
on their schedule, although sayine
the one with Johns Hopkins is
tough is bit flattering to the
Baltimoreans. but the other one
with Western Maryland certainly
Is tough. The Old Liners are
30 meet the Green Terrors De,
cell1ber Z. 49,.
This game will settle the !
State title, excluding Navy,
Of course, and it is the one
the Old Liners are pointing
/ for, since they figure to take
Hopkins in stride.
Coach Lou, Little is still striv.
ing to give Georgetown the Of
fensive power it needs as he
works with the HilItoppers pre-,
pairing for the climax game of
the schedule with Detroit Uni.
versity next Saturday in Detroit.
His latest move in this direction
Is the insertion Of ellis at fun;
