Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-06


Boston College Saturday. The
Blue and Gray's morale since its
victory over Michigan State has
been very high, and Coach Tom
Mills has a feeling that his team
now has a chance to beat any,
body.
OF course. one thing that worries
Mills q good deal is the failure OF
GEORGETOWN to carry on sustained and
consistent offense In its games, but II
Mills can continue to get his backs
loose for long runs and touchdowns he
should not be bothered so much, espe-
cially as long as the big end Of the
score comes his way.
AHARYLAND'S meeting with WASH
WI ington and Lee at College Park
is the big game here. The Old
Liners are not trying to rush their
team very much, even If 1t is home
coming crowd they will play before, as
their schedule is only half finished,
with the most dificult part yet to come
washington and Lee is making real
drive to get in the best possible shape
for the game, as 1t realizes that
victory over Maryland would bolster its
record a good deal
Maryland is in the dificult position
of not being able to make any special
, preparation for any particular game.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY ought to
- break into the won column in its
contest with American University.
The latter has fairly good team, but
not strong enough to do much against
O reasonably strong combination.
Gallaudet should win from Shep-
herd College and George Washington
probably viii mop up with the New
York Aggies tomorrow night.
NAMES for which eleyens from other
~ sections of the country visit the
East will be the featured spots in
Sunday mornings newspapers. When
followers of the gridiron turn to
the sports sheets TO read accounts
where at this time OF year foot ball
games are the big items Of interest. not
excepting even elections, they are likely
to find the most prominent places
given to Notre Danes meeting with
Pennsylvania ct Philadelphia, Illinois
with Army at New York, Michigan's
with Harvard at. Boston, GeOrgia's
with New York University ct New
York and Ohio States with Navy at
the headlines now, and except for
those contests that have large local
interest, viii get them Sunday morning.
GREATEST interest perhaps centers
" in the clash between Notre Dame
and Penn. The South Bend eleven
has been making such wide sweep
of all corners that everybody around
Philadelphia will want to see what the
Quakers can accomplish against 1t.
Just how much interest there is in
the game is shown by the fact that the
Pennsylvania authorities have requested
o well known detective agency to fur
nish them with 100 men to help handle
the crowd and to prevent scalping.
Despite the known strength of Notre
Dame, there seems to be a feeling
around Philadelphia that Penn may
make a much better showing than
anybody looks for. The Quakers GER
tainly have some brilliant foot ball
players. but it is doubtful II they are as
well organized as unit as Notre
Dame. Nine hundred and ninety
persons out of every thousand would
pick Notre Dame to win easily, and
probably be absolutely correct in their
selection, but 1t IL possible for Notre
Dame to lose.
I Asst year Michigan beat Harvard
IL at Ann Arbor by II to IL in one
Of the really great foot ball games Of
1929. This week the Wolverines viii
try TO duplicate that performance.
Several thousand students and alumni,
1t Is said, plan to accompany the
Michigan team to aCmbridge On q
basis OF what has beeen accomplished
90 far this season, there does not seem
20 be much difference in the two

ceded whatever edge there Is.
A YEAR ago Georgia went to New
"A York and played a great game
with York University. It made a poor
showing In the first half. but came
along In the second and gave brill
1ant exhibition. The final result of the
game year ago was 81 to 10 against
Georgia Right now Georgia Is repre-
eented by stronger eleven than in 1929
end 1t should do better notwithstand-
ing the strength Of the New Workers.
A RMY will seek to avenge its defeat
"A Of last year at Urbana, when it
dropped before Illinois by TO II. And
It Is likely TO accomplish its aim, as
the Middle western eleven is consider
ably weaker than Ii was then while
Army Is stronger Illinois record so far
this season probably is about as bad as
that of any Illinois team since Zuppke
began coaching there.
OHIO State meets Navy in Baltimore
~ in q game in which there Is far
less interest than was shown last sea-
son In the Navy-Notre Dame contest.
Ohio State has not been making much
Of a record either, although 1t is said
to have a very capable team. Navy
lost two gmes, but its overwhelming
victory over Princeton sent its stock
sky high again. In fact, nothing that
has happened in Navy athletics in
many years has done as much to build
up morale as the whaling the Sailors
gave the Tigers.
II might be mentioned in this con-
nection that those who have watched
Navy and know most about 1t have "a
very decided opinion that 1t is q much
more powerful outfit than it has been
given credit for during most OF the
season.
Nays defeat by Notre Dame by four
touchdowns does not seem to have been
such q setback after all in the light
Of what Notre Dame has since done
TO some other schools.
GENERAL other games Of lesser i'm
- portance than these are scheduled
in the East. In one contest Column
bia meets Colgate at New York in O
game and hopes to make a much better
showing than 1t did year ago, when
It lost, 80 to 0. Penn State PLAYS SYRIA
cuse, while Pittsburgh and Carnegie
Tech hook up at Pittsburgh In a set-to
that usually turns the Smoky City in
side out, speaking from a standpoint Of
what foot ball crowds usually do when
wildly excited Rutgers and Lafayette
ought TO have o right warm meeting,
I while Bucknell's game with Villanova
: should develop some excellent foot ball.
