BY H. C. BYRD.

Liners, already close TO the ragged
edge from hard competition, must
meet Navy this Saturday, Hop
kins the following Thursday,
Vanderbilt November 90, with
only one day intervening, and
then wind up with western Mary
land December 6. There are few
schools that would care to under
take, or would undertake, such a
task.
Navy has a powerful eleven, much
stronger than it is getting credit for
having, simply because it has been los
ing games. AS a matter of fact, the
Sailors have lost but one contest they
should have been expected to win
that with Duke. There was nothing to
cause anybody to think that they ought
to whip Ohio State, Notre Dame, or
Southern Methodist. Navy has been
whipped, it is true, but by the best
teams in the country. Maryland has
been winning, but it has not been
winning from such teams as the Navy
face the toughest assignment of their
season Saturday.
Just what the Hopkins game will
mean this year is not known. Hopkins
has been having an in and out season.
Sometimes it has played fine foot ball
while at times its work has been rather
mediocre. If it should have one of its
good days against Maryland, as it usual
ly does, then the latter is in for still
more trouble.
Thursday night after the Hopkins
game, without even time to get dinner
until it gets on the train, the Maryland
squad takes special train for Wash
ington, where it will board the Balti-
more & Ohio for Cincinnati, thence to
Nashville for the Vanderbilt setto. And
Vanderbilt has one of the three or four
strongest eievenS In the South.
Following the Vanderbilt game comes
the enc with Western Maryland and
Western Maryland has one of the best
elevens in the East. Western Mary
the kind of trouble in store for Mary
land when the game takes place in
Baltimore two weeks from Saturday.
Maryland'S eleven is in good 5hape
physically, far better shape than me
might expect after the hard series sef.
games it has been through, but mental
~ 1t is getting little frszzled A foot
ball game takes about as much nerve
force as it does physical ferce, and
opportunity to replenish their reserve.
However, the Old Line squad is not
looking forward to the difficult tests
with much dismay. In fact, the play
ers, after beating four Southern Con-
ference elevens in a rev, have reached
the stage where they think they are
Just about as good as anything that
walks on a gridiron. And sometimes
when players feel that way, they are.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and George
u washington are quietly preparing
for their annual setto. The schools
meet Friday night at the ball park
and undoubtedly the one that loses VIII
lust about sink to the bottom OF the
Dit as far as this season is concerned.
Neither has lived up to its own ex-
pectations, especially George Wssnlng-
ton, but victory for one or the other
will help lot to make up Tor previous
disappointment
CEOE GETOWN is getting ready for
VI its contest with Villanova, and
thinks it win win The Blue and
csray is not Understanding the Penn
sylvanians. because it knows they have
been PLAYING rood ball all season
have an exceptionally strong team. The
Blue and Gray is not working very
hard. its problem being to keep its
PLAYERS in good physical trim, more
than it is TO improve its play. George
town has played well enough in any
of its last three games 70 whip VillanoVa
CAILAUDET is hoping to wind up
" its season with victory over st.
Francis, although it probably wiz
encounter more difficulty than 1t eX-
poets. Three members of the Kendall
Greeners backfield are slated TO play
their last game Saturday. Marshall,
Hokansen and Zieske are the lads who
win don their suits for the last time
and to them especially the urge to
finish successfully is strong.
Several contests are scheduled this
week between great rivals, games that
may mean nothing to the outside world
but to those interested as partisans
mean everything. The Stanford-Cah-
fornia game on the West Coast prob
ably is shining example Both teams
have been whipped. California badly
beaten but that means nothing as far
as the supporters Of these two schools
are concerned. The game will attract
the greatest crowd of the year and
should be the most colorful in that
section.
Here in the East Is to be played the
Yale Harvard game, probably the most
talked of game in the whole country,
with nothing at stake other than the
traditions that surround the relation
ships between the two universities.
Possibly one other game is just as
attractive, that between Army and
Navy, but in a somewhat different way.
GENERAL lesser games of this same
- type are listed Take the Lafayette
and Lehigh meeting, for instance.
Either of these two schools might go
through an undefeated season prior to
this contest, but If 1t lost the final
game by a margin Of only one point
The successes already attained would be
blasted Virtually the success Of Le-
highs or Lafavette's season depends on
the result OF their meeting Saturday.
Delaware and Haverford, Dickinson
and Swarthmore. are much the same
kind Of games. as is that between West
Virginia and Washington and jefferson.
a MOTHER game Of the type hereto
"A fore referred to is that between
Purdue and Indiana. No rivalry
IS more intense than that between these
two schools. Both are State institu-
fsons, and are rivals for appropriations
and State favor Of all kinds and all
the pent-uD rivalry from all things
added to that naturally comihp from
athletic competition finds expression
IA the annual foot bell g9ne.
Purdue generally is referred to by
indiana as stl1e BoilerTnakers" and that
IS about the way Indiana locks at PsIr-
due. And Purdue in turn regards IN
diana in about the reverse light, It is
= treat game, Just about as attractive
as any ID the Middle West.
