SET FOR
v. VA.

eff we play our game we
ought to winI"

ought to win!"
Athletic Director Tom Mills, Of
Georgetown University, ventured
this prediction today. He was
discussing tonight's impending
football classic between his Hoyas
and West Virginia University at
the Clark Griffith Stadium.
Under the floodlights at 8:15
O'Clock promptly, Georgetown will
line up for its annual homecom-
ing game.
The usual glamor and enthu-
siasm surrounding this attraction
will be presented in a night set
ting for the first time.
Mills, who called the turn
ON his teams fall before
Western Maryland last week,
Is frankly enthused over the
improved physical trim Of i'm
portant players who were far
from their peak In that game.
Not only will his defense be
improved, but his starting back
field win present a formidable
front in Scalzi, quarterback;
Emil Bozek and Leary, halves,
and Bordeau, fullback. Too,
there will be three standout re
serve men in Johnny Bozek, Bill
Maczees and Dick King.
Mills originally intended start
ing King at quarterback and
may yet reverse his decision and
hold Scalzi in reserve. He inti-
mated today that Scalzi would
be his choice, however.
The Blue and Gray romped
through its final strenuous work
out yesterday and appeared to
be in top stride. Most encourag-
ing during the past week has
been the varSity'S improved show
ing against the freshmen, who
completely outclaSsed the first
string contingent last week.
These first-year men have
used West Virginia plays
almost exclusively in scrimA-
mage periods. And, on the
strength of their showing in
these workouts, the HOyaS
look like IN Odds-On PROPOSE
tiOn to register.
Athletic Director Stansbury's
Mountaineers are a formidable
lot, however, and can hardly be
under-rated. Though they have
compiled an erratic record to
date, the West Virginians always
show best here and are in q
prime position to create an up
set.
This game, Coach Mills de-
clares, can either make or break
the 1880 Georgetown eleven.
He said this morning:
while our chances are
good I've warned the boys
against anything resembling
confidence. The slight
est slip-up can send us down
to defeat.
eff we expect to experience
Q successful season we must
hit our stride in this game.
A victory tonight would re-
store the teams morale and
put us in. q position to cop
some Of our remaining games
with tOp-nOtch elevens."
West Virginia'S huSkieS, accom-.
panied by a band of royal rootarS,
checked into Union Station via
special train this morning. A
special committee from George,
town welcomed the visitors and
escorted them to their head
quarters at the Mayflower Hotel.
It was an impressive lot Of ath-
leteS that filed into Union Sta
ton. Rangy, as is the quaint
old mountaineer custom, these
strapping specimens will likely
outweigh the Hoyas about 10
pounds to the man.
I'm past years West Vir.
ginia has made successful use
Of the overhead game
against Georgetown. And
there is reason to believe that
this department will be
stressed once more tonight.
Mills, informed Of this fact,
has drilled his men thoroughly
in the art Of breaking up aerials
and believes that he has finally
mustered q defense capable of
checking Georgetcwn's longtime
