De IN the STANDS Wnen Tie OPSH
Ing whistle blows sending the two
elevens into action. Besides being
the homecoming game for George
town alumni, there Is no other
counter sports attraction IN the
way Of horse racing in Maryland
to draw the fans, who, with no
place else to go, likely will atteno
the game.
while the record compiled
nv the visitors isn't anything
i to shout about, yet the Noun
| taineers generally play their
hest football Of the year
against Georgetown and
action shouldn't lag at any
time during the game.
Reports from Mountaineer head
quarters have it that Coach
Rodgers has given his team gen
eral shaking-up following its dlS-
appointing showing agalnst
Detroit last week, with the result
that he has a faster ana more
versatile starting eleven than ne
has yet had this fall.
Coach Lou Little, Of George
town. hasn't let any grass grow
under his feet in conditioning
the. HiIltoppers for this game.
Several stiff scrimmage sessions
completely dressed down the tone
of overconfidence that had crept
into being among members OF
, the team. Earlier in the week
the germ Of over-confidence had
gained such Roadway on the
Hilltop that all the players
= thought they would have to 90
Saturday is appear on the field
and victory would be theirs.
Coach Little and his assistants
speedily arrested this unwar-
ranted cockinesS. To man, the
team has been duly impressed
with the fact that they will be
facing tough foe, but at the
same time are hopeful Of adding
the West VirginianS to their list
of victims.
Tomorrow's game will mark the
final appearance on a home
p gridiron of Capt. Jim Mooney
and seven other StalWartS OF
Georgetown's starting team. The
entire front line is made UP of
seniors, while John Hudak, Of
the backfield, also will be per-
forming before a home crowd
for the last time.
I'm addition to Captain
Mooney, Provincial, Gehrin-
ger, LiSton, COrdOvanO, Walsh
and Wynkoop, of the regular
forward wall, are finishing
up this year. Ben Schnid,
Hal Meenan and Gene DriS-
coll, who have been alternat-
ing in the starting lineup,
also are in their last year.
Tomorrow's game marks George
towns third successive major
game, victory having been hung
up against New York U. and a tie
obtained against Navy. The HILL
topperS completely outplayed the
Middies, though, and earned a
moral victory.
, Except for st. Mary'S, of Cali
fornia, and Texas. Georgetown has
the. best defensive record OF any
team in the country. Neither of
the two former teams have been
scored on this year, while George
towns goal has been crossed but
aonce. Thus, the MountaineerS will
have their work cut out for them.
BolStered by the shifting of
Babe Clapper to his original posi-
iton in the backfield, George Wash
ington is hopeful of knocking its
losing complex into a cooked hat
y against Juniata in Central Sta
dunn. This is the only other local
grid game here tomorrow, for the
other three local college elevenS
are performing on foreign fields.
Bevo Miller, who was a regular
last year, will take Clapper's place
at tackle in the G. w. lineup to-
morrow. Miller's return to the
squad enables the Colonials to pre-
sent perhaps their strongest front
this season. With Clapper in the
i backfield will be Blackie Hoffman,
+ Berkowitz and Gates or Adams.
! With Clapper to do the kicking
and passing, the Colonial coaches
figure their offense is greatly i'm
proved.
Maryland is tackIing its
last Southern Conference
opponent in v. p. /. at Nor
folk. The GObbIerS wallOped
Virginia badly last Saturday.
Maryland, on the basis of its
great game against Yale,
though, should rate q $3.50
chance of winning.
Gailaudet will attempt to
smash a Six-year-old jinx by cap
turing a game on foreign field
when it meets Susquehanna at
J Selingsgrove, Pa. The Kendall
GreenerS were badly used up
against Temple last Saturday.
but Coach Hughes thinks his
club stands an even chance of
shaking off its losing complex
away from home. nevertheless.
