4AkA - Gs4t may NC Vic
NV outcome of their games,
v v coaches of local college
foot ball teams do not
face a very restful week end. Not
an eleven here has anything in
front of it between now and to-
morrow night other than a diff
cult hurdle surrounded by traps
and hazards of all kinds. And,
while all may win, the outlook is
such that it will be something of
q surprise If some Of them do not
fall by the wayside.
Georgetown has the most difiicult
prospect. In meeting Western Mary
land College it faces an eleven that
has not been defeated since the Univer-
sity of Maryland was victor over it two
years ago at College Park. In the in
term the best that any school has
done against it is a tie. The Blue
and Gray line will face forward wall
lust about as strong as any in the
East, and If 1t comes out on top II
will be open to congratulations from
everybody at Georgetown, as 1t VIII have
accomplished something that is hardly
expected.
And, after all, the question of whether
or not Georgetown Is going to atone
for its defeat last year is largely 9
question of whether or not its line VIII
measure up to the necessary standard.
There Is not much doubt that George
towns backfield will be just as good as
Western Maryland's, with the excep-
ton of Ekaitis, who Is better defen-
eive back than anybody Georgetown
has. And, incidentally, he Is better
than most schools have, as In that par
ticular field he stands almost In class
By himself.
Anyway. it should be a great game
Western Maryland has q much better
eleven than it presented against
Georgetown last season, when 1t won
z to 0. Georgetown may be as strong
as It was then, and 1t may not be.
Certainly IL does not have the veteran
line material that wore its colors at
that time. One thing Is certain,
though, II Mills pulls the Blue ana
Gray through with victory tomor-
row he viii have accomplished the best
coaching Job that has been done at
Georgetown in many Q year.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND meets
" st. Johns, which battled Western
Maryland on even terms last week
until the bigger and stronger outnt
wore 1t down in the second hall. Against
Western Maryland. st. Johns diu not
Use its best back, the elusive McCartee,
IN order to have him in shape to play
against Maryland.
The Old Line eleven is likely to start
just as 1t has in its previous games,
with the exception that Miller, VINO
seems to have recovered from his shout
der injury, may be at right halfback IN
place Of Berger. These two probably
will divide the time in that position
in the remainder OF the games.
Miller Is one Of the best punters IN
the South and will add good deal OF
strength In o department IN which
Maryland has not been very strong IN
its previous games.
Catholic University seems TO be IN
better shape for its game with Loyola
tomorrow night than it has been for
its previous games. As matter OF
fact, despite its cne-sided deleats 20
far. IL would not be surprise II the
Brooklanders trim the Baltimore eleven.
II Johnny Oliver gets started on some
of his twisting runs, Loyola Is likely 20
think 1t Is trying to eaten snd nolo
an eel.

probably Is more or less apropoS 70
mention here that the Bun and Blue
begins tonight q series Of games that u
hopes will give It q place before the
season ends somewhere in the foot ball
sun, This is the FIRST season in Wnicn
It has gone so far for its contests, ana
It Is the first season., with one excep-
ton. in many in which 1t has met sucn
strong teams. South Dakota apparently
has an eleven which George Washing
ton stands Just about an even cnance
Of beating. although the making OF that
abatement is little more than gueSSwork,
and II 1t does win, 1t should consider
that Il has made a good start on Its
journey toward the gridiron heights.
CALLAUDET, with a stronger eleven
" than any school of its size might
be expected to have, is likely 70
give Delaware q great battle. The
Kendall Green team may not win,
although It Is more than possible II
NAV; but IL It does not, Delaware Is
likely to know that it has been In a
real foot ball game. II Delaware WINS,
It may feel something like the CHAP
who has come out alive from scrap

lineup, plays High Point College
