A. U. Also viii Start.
BY r. D. THOMAS.

-FOUR Washington college
teams will start their 1880
/ foot ball campaigns tomor-
row and only one figures to
lose. Catholic University is up
against it hard in meeting Bos-
ton College in Beantown.
Georgetown should whip Mount
st. Mary's, Maryland looks for
something more than workout
with Washington College and
American University, is favored to
beat Shenandoah.
OF much ~interest here is the George
town-Mount st. Mary's contest which
will be the first for the Hoyas under
the direction of Tom Mills, formerly of
the Notre Dame coaching stan.
The Mountaineers are billed annually
by the Hilltoppers for warm-up pur-
poses but this time they come with hope
of victory. Material at the Hilltop
hasn't been up to standard, q new sys-
tenn has been installed between seasons
and a question mark best describes
the teams prospects.
Least optimistic of Georgetown folk,
at least outwardly, is the fighting Mills.
He has roared himself hoarse and ex-
ercised the patience of Job by turns in
an effort to give the Blue and Gray an
honest-to-goodness foot ball team.
Tomorrows game will be an ordeal
not only for Mills and his aides, Johnny
Colrick and Clipper Smith, but the en-
tire squad. For most of the Hoyas 1t
will be baptism in Notre Dame foot
ball. Action ut Griflth Stadium will
start at 1880 o'clock.
Six players who got their gridiron
starts in Washington schools will be in
the Mount ST. Mary's squad They are:
Mike Tracey, Tom Brew, Franklin Hol-
land, Jake Farrell, Dewey and Soens.
Joe Alenty, Georgetown halfback who
was hurt in training camp, has return
ed to practice along with MARCEL ellis,
fullback, but neither will play tcmor-
row.
WALTER YOUNG, coach at Ameri-
Wv can University, thought he was
blessed by fortune when none of
his dependables was seriously hurt in
preliminary training, but the blow
finally came. His only veteran back,
Red Olsen, fractured his wrist yesterday
and Ed Parke, regular end, was an
nounced enthusiastically ineligible for the
Shenandoah game.
Fred johnson, center; Russ Lambert,
tackle, and Forrest Diehl. end and full
back, will be the only letter men to face
Shenandoah.
TURLEY BYRD expects victory, but
~ looks for more in the contest with
Washington College. The Maryland
chieftain isn't sure he has q ''real" team,
but hopes TO ind out something to-
morrow.
Excepting center, all positions are
well Allied apparently, but several Of
first stringers of practice are doubtful
courage isn't considered. The question
is whether the lads have genuine foot
ball temperament.
A YARN by this reporter the other
IA day, quoting Dutch Bergman, Cath
,olic University coach, to the effect
that he had mine men who would
make any college team In the country"
was refuted by Bergman.
A plea Of guilty Is entered here of
not having observed the newspaper
mans axiom Of believe nothing you
hear and only half of what you see."
But we have o. crow to pick with
Cardinal.
Bergman has no reason TO be opti-
mistic over the Boston College game.
The Eagles are said to have one of their
strongest teams in years and c. u. has
been hard hit by injuries. It lacks
reserves, too.
For while there was talk at Brook
land of beating the Eagles who were
given all they could handle last year.
HALF a dozen of Gallaudets best
j players failed to show for practice
yesterday, leading to the thought
that the Blues are getting cocky, prob
ably because OF recent praise IN the
press
