G. j. PLAYS
IN CHICAGO
At NIGHT
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEOhGE "A, SlMFSON
With their first games out of
the way, local college football
coaches will direct their atten-
tions to the contests billed this
weekend. George Washington
and Gallaudet, which idled last
Saturday, will get their first taste
Of competition this Saturday.
Generally speaking, the local
elevenS came through as expected
! in their opening games on Satur'
day and the coaches feel satisfied.
Coach Dutch Bergman's Catholic
University took a beating from
the stronger Boston College eleven
but that was expected--at least
by those who had looked over
Bergman's squad in practice.
Some Of the rabid Georgetown
alumni may have been chagrined
when Mt. st. Mary's held the
Hilltoppers to q 14-6 score but
they failed to reckon that George
town was taking on q much
stronger than usual team for its
opening game. Then besides
new system was being installed
and it must be remembered that
the world wasn't made in q day.
Georgetown will have but
three scrimmage days before
departing Wednesday evening
for Chicago, where LOyOla
will be faced Friday night
in the first nocturnal clash
for the Blue and Gray.
Contrary to published reports,
Rutgers, which meets G gorge
Washington Saturday at New
Brunswick, N. j., is expecting no
set-up in the Colonials. What
should also hearten Head Coach
Jimmy Pixlee Is thata Rutgers
lost to Providence College by a
12-6 score on Saturday.
The Catholic University eleven
returned home badly bruised as
a result of its clash with Boston
College. Monaco, DeMello, Con-
roy and Lyons summered mostly
and Coach Bergman says he
won't know until saturday
whether he can use these players
against Franklin and Marshall
which will be faced Saturday
afternoon in the c. U. Stadium.
1t had been originally planned
to play the C. U.-Frank'in ard
Marshall game at night at the
Griffith Stadium but the authori,
ties at the park informed the
c. U. officials that the lighting
system wouldn't be ready by
Saturday.
Despite all Of Coach Berg.
mans worries, two things are
comforting him today. One
is the 13-O victory which st.
Johns, of Annapolis, scored
over Franklin and Marshall
Saturday at Lancaster, Pa.
This shows that Franklin and
Marshall Is not as strong rs
last season or that st. Johns
has q more, powerful aggrega.
tiOn than generally accepted.
Another is that Johnny Oliver,
considered the best running half
back on the Cardinal squad, will
possibly be ready for service
against the Pennsylvanians Satur.
day. However, Bergman fears
that Hughie Flynn. who was hurt
in training. won't bc fit for duty
Coach Teddy Hughes, with two
teams of equal strength, will give
his Gallaudet charges plenty Of
work for their opening game with
the Tank School eleven on Ken
dali Green field this Saturday.
Coach CurIey Byrd feels
that Washington College did .
MT provide his Maryland foot
ballers with the proper com.
petition that would have put
them on edge for their battle
with Yale in New Haven,
Conn, this Saturday. As re.
suit Byrd will likely give his
players plenty Of scrimmage
this week.
Coach Walter H. Young, of
American University, was pleased
with his teams victory over
Shenandoah College. Of course,
the Eagles swamped the Virgin
ianS last year but teams change
from one year to another. The
Eagles are to encounter Shepherd
College, of ShepherdStoWn, w. Va.
