Out at Brookland Coach Jack
McAuliffe has his team ready tC
face the SterneSt test it has met
this season. McAuliffe is inclined
to think that his men will be UP
against just about as strong C
combination as was met at Villa
nova, but, even if it is, it should
stand better chance because OF
the better physical condition in
which the squad, as whole, finds
itself.
Duquesne has been playing good
foot ball all season, probably its best
effort having been a 7-to-7 tie with
other than that Catholic II. tomorrow
is to face an eleven just about as strong
as the one Georgetown will meet a week
from tomorrow in its homecoming
game.
With Duquesne so strong, and with
Catholic University possessing a good
well-coached eleven, in all probability
as good foot ball will be seen in the
game at Brookland as in any of the
George Washington apparently is so
weak that almost any kind of an eleven
for its opponent means difficult after
noon. The Buff and Blue, though, may
be fortunate enough to get by with a
garlAn tomorrow. Not much is known
of the st. Joseph's eleven, and it may
be that it is weaker than the local
squad.
Georgetown's game with Navy, though,
Is the one in which is being shown
intense interest. The Blue and Gray
always has put up some great games
against Navy, but victories for it over
4 Navy have been few and far between.
It has always seemed that no matter
how strong Georgetown is, and no mat
ter how poor team Navy has had, the
latter could always muster up some
reservoir of strength at the last moment
to enable it to win. It is rather re-
markable, and may augur well for to-
morrow, that Georgetown, without
very remarkable team itself, went to
Annapolis and beat by 10 one of the
strongest elevens that ever wore Navy
colors. That was back some years ago,
when Gil Dobie was coaching at Navy
and Exendine at'Georgetown.
Navy has a powerful, versatile team
this Fall, one that has been through
the mill of hard experience in several
difficult games against the country's
biggest teams. However, for one rea-
son or another, something has been
going wrong in Nays games. AS far
as Navy is concerned, it has not been
able to win. 1t lost a great game to
Notre Dame, then tied with Princeton
and last week lost to Penn.
It Is not a secret that Navy feels
It sholsll have won from both Prince
ton and Penn without good deal of
trouble and that on the basis of play
in the two contests should have been
returned victor both times. Something
went wrong each time. As one Navy
man told the writer: Against Prince
ton the difference was SO great that one
can look back and cannot figure how
in the world we lost. Against Penn We
seemed to gain easily and to stop Penn,
but We just did not do things right.
We rushed the ball with yards to
go on fourth down when we should
not have rushed it, and We kicked when
we should have rushed"
Navy people feel that if Navy begins
to find itself to the extent of eliminate
ing the things that have gone wrong
it will play some great games. George
town, of course, Is not hoping that
tomorrow will be the first time this
season when the Navy will not have
a miss in what undoubtedly is a power
full machine. A win for the Blue and
Gray would be an extra blow for Navy,
because it has not been used to losing
to Georgetown and, on the contrary, a
win for Georgetown would be brilliant
accomplishment for the Blue and Gray.
Victory for any team over another team
that has been difficult to beat and
over which victories are few and far
between is especially sweet.

nothing about prospects for the game
other than what he said prior to the
New York University contest. This,
summed up, was I'VE are capable of
doing great things If we give the best
we have. If our men play as we be-
lieve they are capable of playing and
work together we have chance against
anybody. 1t all depends on whether
we give the best we have"
Thousands and thousands of local
people will travel to Annapolis tomor-
row and other thousands would like to
make the trip but find 1t useless. The
supply of tickets for the game is ex-
hausted and pair of paste boards to
admit to the game are just about i'm
possible to get.

dinarily the Methodists would be picked
to win, but with the contest taking place
on the home grounds of the other eleven
in all probability an even break for VIC
