BAND
7 RAVEL
WITH MD.
By Juno Kinerk

~ Football fans Of Washing
ton have only two varsity foot
ball games again this Saturday
ON the local menu card, Leba-
non Valley furnishing the OPP
position to Georgetown in Crit
fifth Stadium and Shenandoah
College meeting Gallaudet on
the Kendall Green gridiron.
Both games start at 2:3O
o'clock.
A large number of fans and the
school band will accompany Mary
land to Richmond tomorrow morn
ing for the Old Liners game with
Virginia Military Institute, but none
of Washington's other three col
lege elevens will have that home
support in their games on foreign
,srids. Catholic University tackles
Rutgers in New Brunswick. N. j.,
George Washington plays City Col
!lege in New York, and American
University is to play in Baltimore
for the second successive Saturday,
meeting Loyola.
The Lebanon Valley team Is ex-
pected to furnish Georgetown with
just the kind of a game the local
team needs before it tackles its
four major November opponents.
There is hardly an outside chance
for the visitors taking the Hilltop
pers tomorrow, but at the same
time they should furnish the Hill.
xoppers with stiff enough opposition
TO make them work for every point
they earn.
The game should be anything
but a runaway affair, though,
unless the HilItoppers suddenly
come to life and exhibit far
more scoring punch than they
have shown at any time this
year.
One thing this game should do
and that is furnish Coach Lou Lit
tie with ample opportunity to test
out his backs and probably help
him in arriving at a decision on
which quartet he will settle upon
for use in the big games.
Among the G. U. backs who are
promised to get a thorough trial to-
morrow is Leroy Bordeau. Bordeau
is the biggest and heaviest back on
the Hoya squad. If he comes
through tomorrow's encounter with
b strong showing there is every
likelihood that he may get the nod
for the fullback berth against New
York u. for a slashing. rip-snorting
ball carrier who also can take out
would-be tacklers and take them
clear GU: would transform the G. U.
backfield into one of real power.
Lack of a strong plunger and
real interferer has been the chief
trouble in the Hoya backfield all
season long and Bordeau may be
just the man to answer this PROP
lem. If he can fulfill the promise
along these lines that his sturdy
physique indicates then Coach Little
may indeed be heartened.
TomorroW's game will be more
than Just an acid test for BOr-
deau alone for other HOya backs
also will be on trial. The ones
showing the most stuff are the
ones who will get the call in the
later games.
Gallaudet supporters will have
the opportunity of seeing their fav-
orites in action on the home grid
iron for the first time this year
tomorrow when the Kendall Green
ers act as host to Shenandoah.
Earlier in the season Shenandoah
absorbed a real licking from Ameri-
can u. and their visit may find them
returning to their home with an
other one.
I The big blue team of Gallaudet,
led by an all-around star of the first
water in Capt. Johnny Ringle, fig
ures to be much more powerful
than the Virginians. The margin of
81 points which American U. OBJ
tanned over Shenandoah easily
ought to be maintained by Gallau-
Diet, for the Kendall Greeners are
every bit as strong as the Eagles,
II not stronger.
Maryland will indeed upset the
dope of it turns in a win over V.
NJ. I. tomorrow. The Cadets are
rated at least three touchdowns
stronger than the Old Liners, but
the latter, despite the loss of Char
ley Dodson. may surprise and turn
in a strong game.
The Ca0etS are Feputtu 10

the Southern Conference in

self. He is the entire main.
spring of the Cadets attack, and
If the Old Liners are to have
even an outside chance of vic
tory he must be stopped.
The Catholic University team is
primed and ready for Rutgers.
Many Of the Cardinal supporters
feel that the team has a good
chance to return home with a tri-
umph, although on paper Rutgers
rates a favorite. The c. U. sup
porters base their optimism on the
fact that Johnny Oliver or Champa
is apt to break loose at any time
with a scintillating run that may
be decisive.
American U. and George Wash
sngton are not without hope but
their chances of victory tomorrow
are remote. Loyola is considered
quite a bit stronger than Baltimore
University, which halted them last
Saturday, so American us chances
to win can't be considered too
strongly.
