Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-03


at New Haven. From the number
Of stories being printed in papers
in all sections of the East, there
Is not much doubt about the way
that game is regarded. Mary
lands extraordinary good show
ing, or good luck, whichever way
one cares to look at 1t, against
Yale in the last four years seems
to have created a rather general
opinion that it has chance far
and beyond what the average
Southern school might be consid-
cred as having in an early season
contest with the Dark Blue.
However, 1t might be well to remem-
Der In this connection that this is the
first early-season game in which Mary
land has ever met Yale, all the other
games having been played in Novem-
Der.
without doubt, though, the Maryland
squad leaves here today in good shape
physically and mentally. The Old Liners
have an inherent belief, apparently, that
they can play good foot ball In the yale
Bowl At least they always have, and
probably will again tomorrow, no mat
ter what the outcome as far as the score
10 concerned.
Hoyas Have Hard Game.
Georgetown IS expecting hard strug-
Ele out In Chicago with the Loyola
eleven tonight. The Blue and Gray
goes against school coached in its own
tactics, but nevertheless figures it has
somewhat better than even chance for
victory. The team arrived In Chicago
yesterday afternoon, and planned to
take Q workout under the electric lights,
as the game is to be played at night.
George Washington and Gallaudet
play their first games, the former at
Rutgers and the latter at home with the
Tank Corps eleven Of Fort Meade. The
Colonials go to New Brunswick reali7-
ing that they are up against q good
foot ball team, and that they viii need
all the good material and good coach
ing they believe they have If they are
to bring back the long end Of the score.
Gallaudet ought to win from the Tank
Corps.
The two games on local fields are
likely to be closely contested. American
University entertains In Shepherd COL
1ege an eleven that 1t is not likely to
defeat easily. and the same thing Is
true Of Catholic University In regard to
its guest, Franklin and Marshall Col
iege.
Two Good Teams.
What may be the best-played game
IA the South Atlantic section is that at
Lexington, between Virginia Military In
stitute and St. Johns College Of An
uapolis. st. Johns has . right strong
team, and It may give the Cadets q
merry afternoon. Virginia goes to Dur
ham to play Duke, and probably will
bring back to Charlottesville a nice
green scalp. It would not be surprise
II Virginia were to win by a rather COM
Portable margin, II it wins at all. Down
at Blacksburg Is scheduled another real
test, with North Carolina meeting Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. North Caro-
easily, but 1t may be that v. p. ]. will
give it q surprisingly hard battle, with
IN outside chance to win.
The Naval Academy opens It's schedule
with William and Mary and does not ex-
pect TO find winning very difficult. Army
Is likely to run into stronger opponent
when It entertains Furman.
Princeton, Harvard and Penn march
out their foot ball teams tomorrow for
their first 1880 formal showing. At least
two OF these are expected to have ex-
ceptional teams, while the other seems
almost an unknown quantity. Those
who are familiar with the strength of
the Crimson and Quakers are loud in
their praises and hesitate not a second
to say that two of the best elevens In
the country win hold forth on Soldiers
and Franklin Fields.
Princeton. which began last year with
what It thought was material for one
OF it, greatest elevens, seerna to be sit
ting tight with whatever 1t may have.

rasking many opinions Of the Tigers.
Easy for Harvard.
Harvard plays Vermont In its opening
game and should win by Just about as
big score as 1t pleases. Penn ought to
whip 6warthmore without much diff
Guilty, although the Little Quakers at
times have produced some real surprises
against their big neighbor Princeton Is
expected TO get something Of q tuSsle
from Amherst, although probably not
much more than it needs and wants
Out In the Middle West the four West
ern Conference elevens that did not
open their schedules last week get under
way. with Purdue playing Baylor Uni
versity, Wisconsin meeting Carleton
college,. Illinois facing Iowa State and
Chicago with two opponents, Hillsdale
and Ripon. OF these, it is likely that
Purdue and Illinois will encounter the
hardest opposition.
Both Georgia Tech and Kentucky,
last Of the Southern Conference elevens
to open their schedules, have just about
az tough propositions as any school
wants for starters. The former has
South Carolina and the latter Sewanee.
South Carolina especially may prove
difficult, as 1t seems to have brilliant
material and has played one big game
already, having whipped Duke Univer-
sity by three touchdowns and a field
goal. Sewanee is seldom able to best
any Of the larger Southern Conference
schools, but usually gives them all
hectic struggles. Georgia Tech may
have hard shedding to keep its slate
clear. II South Carolina does as well as
II Is said to be capable Of doing.
Notre Dame Ready.
Besides the games mentioned. sew
eral other contests are likely to pro-
duce some excellent foot ball. Take
that West Virginia Pittsburgh meeting
ut Morgantown. At times in past sea-
sons that has been one of the hardest
fought games Of the year. And II west
Virginia measures up, it may be again.
The Southern Methodist-Notre Dame
game at South Bend is attracting wide
attention. because it is felt that South
ern Methodist may have a chance to
start the season by upsetting Rockne's
eleven. However, that Is unlikely, as
Notre Dame has its usual stellar ma
tertal and has been practicing long
enough to be In excellent shape. VAN
derbilt may put up great game against
Minnesota and Texas A. and M. Is likely
to give Nebraska quite a battle with
fair chance to win, If reports are to
be accepted at face value. Tulane, in
another intersectional battle, believes
IL has O fair chance to make good
