University and George Washing
ton in the principal roles.
It will mark the end Of a somewhat
checkered season, with ups and downs
for all the elevens that make their
homes here, but, nevertheless, one on
which all are likely to be able to look
back with some pride.
The final game will not be an ex-
hibition of foot ball between great
elevens but should provide good deal
of interest between teams in which may
be manifest an intense partisan spirit,
Q real local rivalry.
The George washington Catholic
University competition offers the only
chance for the development OF local
spirit for District of Columbia foot ball
followers, who for years have bemoaneo
the lack of such q contest. AND George
Washington and G. u. have been de-
veloping just such spirit.
There is no reason why their game IN
time should not fill the need for local
rivalry. which many feel is what foot
ball here really lacks to make 1t worth
while. These schools have been meet
ing for years, but this year, the hrst
time that both have teams which stand
out and seem capable of putting up
such a real struggle that the general
public will sit up and take notice, the
game is likely to take its place among
the big ones Of the section.
Keen Contest Likely.
On a basis Of what was shown earlier
IN the season, George washington
probably should be returned a rather
easy victor, but Catholic q. has inn
proved greatly in its last two or three
games and Saturday played extraordi-
narily well at New York.
While neither team is so very strong.

George washington students VIII be
present to take a keen interest in the
, eleven that represents them, while
C. u. students and alumni are sure TO
be out in force. Partisan supporters OF
the two schools ought to make up

Both teams are bending their efforts
toward this contest. Every effort Is be-
ing put forth to have the players, as
individuals and as machines, in the best
possible shape. George washington
realizes that a defeat at the hands OF
C. II. after the losing record OF the
latter, win Just about throw q wet

No matter what credit the Colonials
have for the previous part OF the sched-

on the contrary, Catholic University
realizes that If 1t can come through
with a victory, the previous part OF It's

TEORGETOWN makes another trip.
" this time to Philadelphia to meet
Villanova. The Blue and Gray
expects to win but not without real
struggle Villanova has an eleven that,
while not a world-bsater by any means,
still is strong enough to give any OPP

Hamilton Holt, president Of Roll
Inns College Winter Park, Fla, de-
clared recently that in his opinion
the fot ball coach probably did the
most effective teaching OF any tndi-
Wdual on the college campus. He
called attention to the fact that there

and 'aIibis'; no urging TO remain
in the game. Either q youth plays
for all he Is worth CT he leaves the
field and his place Is taken by some
other boy willing and eager TO learn
foot ball.
abr. Holt went on to say that the
close personal relationship between
coach and player might well be
transplanted into the more acaoemic
f1kase Of college activities. The
coach does not high hat the play
ers. but expects and gets their best

daily on the field; greets them with
friendly handshake when they
leave the game; calls them by their
1irst names on the street: comes into
confidential contact with them on
