Washington and Lee will bring here
an eleven that has played brilliant foot
ball at times and in other games has
been almost mediocre. The Generals
battled West Virginia to standstill fol
three quarters, while against st. Johns
they failed to make any kind OF a
showing. Possibly st. Johns was con-
siderably moderated, much as was Duke
when the Navy went down before II
two weeks ago. No game between
washington and Lee and Maryland has
ever been anything but the sternest
kind of a fight, with touchdown OF
less separating them at the finish, and
the one now in the of1ing is not likely
to be much different. The last four
between the two schools have resulted
In three victories for Washington and
Lee by 8 to O, Is to 6, to 3 and one
victory for Maryland by to o.
This will be Maryland's last home
contest. The remainder of its schedule
IS on foreign fields, with a game
technic Institute, at Annapolis with
Navy, at Baltimore with Hopkins. at
Nashville with Vanderbilt and at Balti-
more with Western Maryland. With
washington and Lee fronting this array
It does not take Nluch OF an Imagination
to foresee what SIaryland has cut out
for itself.
CEORGETOwN'S remaining games
" all are away. The Blue and Gray
wound up It's home season last FRI,
day in the proverbial "blaze OF glory
and all in all has little to regret over
what it has shown the home folks this
season. It's contests away from home
are with strong teams, and 1t will have
to appear at It's best, in some cases pos
sibly better than 1t was against Micnl-
gan State, to chalk up string OF VIC
tories.
This week the Blue and Gray goes TO
Boston to meet Boston College. Inc
Beaneaters were whipped last week py
Marquette University; but by q close
score. There was nothing in the defeat
to indicate that Georgetown Is going TO
face anything but one of the toughest
eieyens in New England. Following the
game with Boston College comes that
IN New York with New York University,
and the victory the latter won over
Carnegie Tech is enough to show the
kind Of opposition the Blue and Gray
meets in that quarter. The two contests
listed after that are with Villanova and
Detroit, and the latter especially IS
strong, although Iowa won from II
Saturday by 10 8. Georgetown. play
ing these games on foreign gridirons,
has plenty of trouble In store for 1t and
All its ingenuity and strength and
versatility Is sure 10 be put to the test
to cope successfully with what 1t faces.
CATHoLIC UNIVERSITY this week
~ plays American University at Brook
land, then goes to New York 70
face Manhattan College and after that
winds up with George Washington. Gal
laudet meets Shepherd College this
Saturday and then plays away, with
Langley Field and st. Francis as its
opponents. George Washington, outside
OF Georgetown and Maryland, has by
far the most diffieult assignments Of
local elevens. Albright, which it plays
November Is, Is not well known here,
but has q good foot ball team, and any
school that plays Navy at Annapolis in
any sport has real job.
WITH Georgetown meeting Boston
w College at Boston and Maryland
playing Washington and Lee at
College Park, with each Of these schools
facing difficult opposition, the other
local elevens have something Of an easy
week. George washington ought to
defeat easily the New York Aggies,
Catholic University should break into
the won column against American Uni
versity and Gallaudet probably will beat
Shepherd College. The last mentioned
school Cancelled its game Of last week
because Of the condition Of its squad,
due to smallpox vaccinations. The OPEN
ing part Of this paragraph probably Is
not quite true in stating that the other
local schools should not have very much
opposition, because that would hardly
apply to American University, meeting
as It does O team that seems stronger.
Y OCAL elevens have nc regret over
- what they accomplished last week.
Georgetowns victory over Michigan
State was the high point, undoubtedly,
because the Blue and Gray was not
expected to be as strong as the team
from East Lansing. However, games
are decided on the points that are
scored and not on the amount OF
Just as much credit for a touchdown
that comes at the end Of long run
as for che that comes after hard
drive half the length of the field. Incl
dentally. the game bore out the judg-
ment Of Tom Mills, Georgetown coach,
when he said that he thought his men
had a fairly good change to win, II
they got any breaks at an.
Maryland was a winner over Vir-
ginia. although not by much Of mar
gin. AS a matter of fact, the contest
! was almost as closely played as it was
O year ago when the result was tie
Is to 10. With the game having only
10 minutes to go Saturday the count
was only to in favor Of the old
Liners. and the final touchdown was
the result of a desperate effort BY Vir-
g'nia to forward pass FIR m its owr
Toward line. The pass was intercepteo
and then rushed over the goal line or
two plays. MARYLAND he'd more chances
to score than Virginia. but 1t did nc'
make them good
Catholic University lost to a more
experienced team when 1t went dowr
before New River State College, while
Gallaudet played good foot ball ir
