while their opinion is they have
pretty close to an even chance TO
win, they expect the going to be
anything but easy.
While only two or three OF the tve
that have games expressed themselves
one way or another, 1t is a fact that on
no previous Saturday this year nave ali
the local schools faced the prospect OF
such difncult games.
Georgetown goes to New York Tor It's
annual setto with New York Universlty,
and In that school the Blue and Gray
meets an opponent worthy OF GeOrge-
town at its best. Coach Tom Mills,
whose team has played fine foot Dali In
its last two games, says: I'VE expect the
going against New York U. to be about
the hardest we have had this year,
though I do believe we have fairly
good chance to win.
"You know what New York Univer-
sity is" continued Mills, land !! dom

It has been done, was done last week
bv Georgia. and what man has done
man can do again. And for courage
and fighting qualities our team takes its
collective hat of to nobody"
1ATHoLIC UNIVERSITY has its
~ troubles In store against Manhat-
tar College. Dutch" Bergman,
q q. coach, says that Manhattan IS
much stronger than the average small
college eleven and that he VIII consider
himself lucky If he comes back without
having been defeated.

our hands full and If we come back
with victory I'll feel very good about
it. I doubt II any OF the people who
know the real strength Of the Albright
eleven expect us to win.

time beating Virginia, IA to s, but v. p.

real margin of difference.
ANY way one looks at the games
scheduled for local elevens this week,
only one conclusion can be drawn
tnat i've hard games are to be played
and the local schools must go ut q better
pace than they have set In any Of their
games SO far to win
THE game Saturday between Virginia
Il and Washington and Lee is going

as the two schools are rivals Of long
standing, but aside from that their
work against each other win have
greater interest generally than the
majority of such games. Both Virginia
and Washington and Lee have played
some fine foot ball since they opened
their schedules, and both have played
some very mediocre foot ball.
Virginia showed flashes Of power
against Pennsylvania that indicated
much for the future, and It further car
ried out that impression by the follow
ing week defeating Virginia Military
Institute without being scored on. How
ever, against Kentucky 1t did not ac-
complish much and against Duke was
rather mediocre. In the Maryland game
Its play at times was exceptionally good
washington and Lee has had some
thing of the same kind of season. It
played great foot ball for three quarters
against Kentucky, it played great foot
ball for a half against West Virginia.
and against v. p /. it must have done
well, but in its games with st. Johns
and Maryland was mediocre. Washing
ton and Lee played v. p. ]. to q 0-to-0
tie and v. p. l.. swamped Virginia, which
would seem to indicate an easy WASH
tngton and Lee victory, but II probably
indicates nothing Of the kind. Both
Washington and Lee and Virginia have
Essentially powerful elevens, and II both
play at their best the game should be
one Of the best Of the year. However.
II one team Is at its best and the other

little. It is contest, though, which
from its very doubtful nature offers q
good deal Of interest
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CARO-
~ LIMA plays Davidson and should
win without trouble. The latter
always puts up scrappy game, but
hardly is in class with the Tarheels.
However, this has been said about lot
Of foot ball teams that have come out
victorious.
VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
plays Kentucky. then on Monday
win begin preparation for It's final
contest on Thanksgiving day with Viz
giflia Polytechnic Institute. This Is the
one game that " M. l. works for and
thinks about as the ultimate goal OF all
loot ball happiness. and 1t works al
season with II largely in mind. For
that reason ". M. ]. has on several oc-

great game with Tennessee, although IL
lost 3 to 8, and also got q tie. 70 s.
