TOM MILLS is to take his
Gaoroetnv,o foot hall snuad

\ University Saturday. The squad
Is due to leave Washington at 8
o'clock and to arrive in New York
In time for light workout at the
Yankee Stadium. 1t is likely that
several hundred students will
make the trip on a special train
as there is much interest in the
game.
The Blue and Gray supporters in
looking back on the showing made by
their team in its last two games look
forward to it having good chance
against any Of its remaining opponents.
Tom Mills feels about the same way
about it.
ct think we have a fairly good
chance against New York University,
notwithstanding that school has one
of the best elevens going" said Mills
today in discussing plans for the trip.
"Chick" Meehan has developed an
eleven that is going along at fast
gait against all corners, but we, while
not setting the world afire, have shown
enough to warrant q firm belief in
the potential worth of our men. We
really outplayed Boston College to a
greater extent than the score showed,
although it took a great second haii
and almost superhuman foot ball at
times to get the long end Of the score
I'VE do not have great team, but
we have a good team, with backs who
may break loose and go at any time,
and such q team always has chance
In any game in which 1t is not en-
tirely outclassed. And 1t Is needless
to say we do not expect to be out
classed by N. Y. u"
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND prob
~ ably will meet in Virginia Poly
technic Institute the strongest
eleven it has faced since it played
Yale. In fact, " P. I. may be stronger
now than Yale was when played by
Maryland early in October. ". p. /.
against Virginia showed an attack that
simply ripped the Charlottesville eleven
70 pieces. probably the most powerful,
from a standpoint Of sheer power, than
any team in the South Atlantic section
has shown this year.
Maryland Is looking upon the game
figures that the opposition 1t has to
face viii be Just about as hard to over
come as any that remains, Vanderbilt
excepted.
The Maryland squad is to leave here
tomorrow for Norfolk and will be ac-
companied by goodly number Of stu
dents, alumni and the university band.
The entire Cadet Corps Of v. p. I. Is to
make the trip.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY leaves to
~ morrow to play Manhattan College
in New York and 1t also win be
against q tough proposition. The
Brooklanders have been showing i'm
provement lately, but still have not in
dicated Is great strength as has been
shown by the New Workers.
They should consider themselves
lucky II they get away with the long end
of the score and they should be con-
sidered as having done well If they hold
the enemy to q touchdown or two.
GEORGE WASHINGTON has a far
VI harder game in meeting Albright
than Is generally supposed. Al
bright Is not very well known here,
but there Is not any doubt about 1t hav-
ing an exceptionally strong team, much
stronger than college Of its size usual
" puts out.
The Buzz and Blue also Is getting bet
ter and also has q stronger team than
It Is getting credit for having. The
game ought TO be one OF the best Of the
year in which local elevens participate,
despite the fact that one Of the con-
testants Is little known.
TALLAUDET is in fairly good shape
~ for its game with Langley Field.
The Kendall Green players, despite
the fact that they are to go against a
more experienced combination, feel that
they have just q shade better than an
even chance for victory.
A N even more diflcult game than II
"A had with Ohio State is the out
look for Navy f. its meeting with
Southern Methodist University at Bal
tlmore Saturday. At least, this is the
view Of the contest taken beforehand.
~ Is felt that Southern Methodist not
only Is stronger than Ohio State but
that II has much more versatile at
tacK. especially In forward passing
The Navy is working with might and
main 70 get In shape to 60 at its best
against the Texas eleven and believes
It has an outside chance to win, but
Is not by any means trimming over
with optimism.
Navy has q very eficient scouting
system and It knows well what South
ern Methodist has. Annapolis men
have watched the Texans in all their
games, from the time they played Notre
Dame until the present, and there Is
not much that has escaped their eyes
1t Is doubtful II in this respect the
Southern Methodist team is as fortu-
nate AZ NAVY
I'VE know what Southern Methods,
