in this week for some of the
~ toughest games Of their
schedules. And, when the
whole list of contests for each
week of the season is summed up,
It Is doubtful If there is any other
week end during which all the
schools will be up against such
generally hard competition. With
the exception of Georgetown,
which plays tomorrow night, not
one school has contest that may
be considered anything other
than difficult.
Take first the schools in this imme-
diatc neighborhood. Georgetown's game
with West Virginia Wesleyan ought to
be easy, but the others are not likely to
b against anything harder during the
remainder of their schedules.
Catholic University goes north again,
this time to face Holy Cross, and that
ought to be enough said about that.
Maryland journeys to Chapel Hill to
play North Carolina and the Tarheels
have back almost In toto the squad that
last year whipped Maryland, 43 to o.
That tells the kind Of team Maryland
must meet.
Gallaudet and American University
play the only foot ball game In which
local schools face, except the George
Washington Catholic University contest
at the end Of the season. They should
afford plenty Of competition for each
other.
Next to Georgetown, George WASH
mgton should have the easiest picking,
but the Colonials, who did not do so
we'll last week, go to Newark, Del, to
meet q University Of Delaware eleven
that is said to be well above its usual
standard.
Move away from Washington and
Ivl the competition for the several
schools - just as difficult. Viz
ginia travels to Philadelphia to face
University Of Pennsylvania and 5Vir-
ginia naturally win 80 through . very
dinhcult afternoon. At that, though, Vir-
ginia Is likely to do lot better on
Franklin Field than anybody might ex-
pect II only the defeat at the hands Of
Duke were given consideration. Hamp-
den-Sidney Is much smaller than Viz
ginia, but 1t goes north this week to
tackle Cornell, which indicates for 1t
about as much trouble as any school
should desire.
washington and Lee plays its annual
Rame with West Virginia, and usually
West Virginia Is the stronger. This
year b not likely TO be an exception,
and probably West Virginia viii win
aaAan. II Washington and Lee Is victor,
3 win have to show o good deal more
strength than its games 30 far have In
0icated e possesses. Virginia Military
Institute plays Citadel at Charleston,
with tn chances no better than even.
Last year, with great team, v. M. !.
Won from Citadel by only one touch
down.
what Virginia Polytechnic Institute
meets must be something akin to COM
bination Of buzzsaw, Q cyclone, light
ming and O battering ram. It meets
Vanderbilt. After that walloping VAN
Aerbilt gave Minnesota last last Satlr-
against the toughest proposition it win
face al season.
North Carolina state College has Q
game with Clemson and probably win
get whipped. The Raleigh school hardly
seems TO be up to standard this Fail,
despite the fact It was supposed TO have
good material. Duke goes against David
son. which already has beaten North
Carolina State.
The other schools also have hard
games. Johns Hopkins meets Lehigh,
OF. Johns plays Western Maryland, and
hardly any school has anything in pros
pect this week other than O rough, hard
setto with difacult opponent.
d UMoR has 1t that West virginia
~ University viii change its COACH
ing system next Fall and place
Eari Neale, who left the University Of
Virginia two years ago to 90 into big
league base ball, In charge Of its grid
Neale II familiar with West Virgins.
Not only did he coach one Of West
Virginia's great rivals, Washington and
JEFFERSON, but he also played IN that
State. He was star end at West Vir-
gtnia Wesleyan when that school turned
out some real foot ball teams.
Harry Stansbury, now athletic d.
rector at West Virginia, was quarter
back on the West Virginia Wesleyan
which came here several years ago and
wiped up Georgetown by 16 to o.
Neale is q good coach. Is well liked
BY students and should do o good Job
IN any school with which he may be-
come connected.
A UNIVERSITY Of Virginia alumnus
defeat before Duke last week says
that Virginia has fine backfeld, but
that its line play was very poor. This
alumnus formerly was O tackle on q
Virginia eleven and his opinion about
The Virginia team Is worth something.
Virginia at times played good foot
ball. It has a wonderful backfeld that
viii 60 against anybody, but its line
play against Duke was very poor. I
never saw q Virginia line play worse
foot ball We could not stop Dukes
line play and on the offensive we did
not get the Duke forwards out of the
way. virginia's line play will have to
improve just about q hundred per cent
Il we don't want to take another fine
trimming from North Carolina.
Johns HOPKINS UNIVERSITY ID
about 200 per cent stronger than
1t was last season, according 10
those that watched It play its opening
game Saturday last. It has q group Of
backs vino can carry o foot ball and q
