night. In fact, with two excep-
tions, the Georgetown-Michigan
State and Marines Western Mary
land are the last really worth
while games.
The most attractive contests remain
ing are those between Maryland and
Washington and Lee and Catholic Uni
versity and George Washington, but 1t
Is very doubtful If either of these teams,
with the possible exception of Maryland
measures up to the standard of the four
in competition here within the next two
days.
The power of Michigan State need
not be doubted by anybody. Any team
that can tie the University of Michigan
and beat such an eleven as represents
Colgate must be q real foot ball team,
especially when 1t is considered that
Colgate later won from Penn State by
an overwhelming score. Georgetown,
despite its two defeats, is far from be-
ing weak, and actually is strong. That
1t has potential strength beyond what
1t has so far displayed is indicated by
Coach Mills statement that he believes
his men have good chance to win
from Michigan State.
That Western Maryland has q great
team Is shown by its decisive victory
over GEORGETOWN. The Westminster
combination has about everything need
ed to make a good foot ball team. If
weight, speed, good coaching and gen.
eral all-around ability of individuals
count for anything, then Western Mary
land is to be reckoned with at all times
And the team the Marines will have
against Western Maryland also Is much
better than the average. 1t will be the
most experienced of all four, practically
all its players having had years more
experience than the college men. In
fact. many Of them played their allotted
time in college foot ball and good
deal more elsewhere.
CoMMENT on the fact that four such
~ good elevens are engaging in games
here in the next two days calls to
mind the fact that as far as local
games are concerned the seasonS Is
about over Maryland and Washington
and Lee are to engage in what should
be a colorfll set-to at College Park
next week and George Washington and
Catholic University meet the Saturday
before Thanksgiving day, but, barring
these games, there is not much for local
foot ball folks to Look forward to. A
great many Of them, of course, will
take in the Maryland game ct
Annapolis and many are likely to 90
to Baltimore to see some of the con-
tests over there, but for city the size
Of Washington, the Nations Capital,
with six college foot ball teams not to
have some real November games is un-
fortunate to say the least.
DARTMOUTH goes down to New
~ Haven this week end to meet Yale
in what probably Is the strangest
series in the records of foot ball, If a
statement made by a Dartmouth alum
nus to the writer recently is backed by
facts. 1t seems that Dartmouth, no
matter how strong it has been, no mat
ter how weak Yale has been, has never
yet been able to beat Yale in a grid
iron contest. Last year the New Hamp-
shire eleven had the Dark Blue whip
ped. but an unfortunate play In the
last two minutes gave Yale the oppor-
tunity to grasp at the straw which
produced victory. 1t seems that no
matter how great have been Dart
mouths teams, something has always
happened to keep it from winning. This
Dartmouth alumnuS said: Il believe
there Is jinx for us at Yale, or else
our men get dumfounded whenever
they see those blue jerseys. This year
we ought TO stand an excellent chance
to beat Yale. but shall not believe we
have any chance until hear the score.
And II 1t were to turn out that the
\
think should Immediately wire the
Governor of New Hampshire to call out
the militia to prevent the college build
INlA being burned down and to keep
thiNas straight, because everybody at
Hanover viii 60 crazy"
MANY people in the South are look
1vl ing on the Kentucky Alabama
and Clemson Tennessee game this
week as being almost as important as
that between Alabama and Vanderbilt.
1t seems to be the opinion down in the
Kentucky section that Kentucky has
a good chance to upset Alabama, and
there is not much doubt that Ken
tucky has an eleven strong enough to
put up q real fight against any other
school. Clemson also has a strong
team, which has yet to meet defeat.
South Carolinians think that II 1t can
whip Tennessee, 1t will stand q fair
chance to make q real bid for South
ern honors.
DRINCEToN goes out to Chicago to
meet Chicago Saturday in what
probably will be the least talked-of
big game Of the year. Compared to
that memorable battle in the Prince
ton Stadium in 1922, the contest Sat-
urday is likely to be a tame affair.
Princeton, beaten, 81 to o. by Navy,
and Chicago, without victory TINS
season, are likely to contend for the
cellar ranking among big schools. In
cidentally, Princeton people are be-
ginning to wonder what Is going to
happen on November is when their
team meets Yale.
Certainly they will anxiously look for
some signs of improvement against
Stages eleven, although Chicago came
East last year and won rather unex-
pectedly.
PENNSYLVANIA, from all reports, Is
meeting a tough foe In Kansas
The Quakers think they are up
AGAINST an eleven fully as strong as
that they met at Wisconsin. But de-
spite that, 1t is reported that shifts are
continually being made In the lineup
Of the team.
which means, If it does, that Penn viii
have an exceedingly poor record for its
intersectional contests, inasmuch as 1t
already has lost to Wisconsin, and
Notre Dame almost assuredly VIII take
its measure.
UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH goes
" out 10 Lincoln to meet the Uniyer-
sity of Nebraska. Pitt was whip
ned by Notre Dame, but still Is strong
enough probably TO stand at least an
even chance Of taking the Cornhuskers.
1.-TWO big games are listed in New
j York. Cornell goes down there to
meet Columbia and West Virginia
travels there to face Fordham.
Tt seems from past records this ear
that Cornell and Fordham should be
Favored 20 win. New York University
meets Carnegie Tech ct Pittsburgh.
