Terrapins' Final Game One
of Their Toughest-Mid-
dies Underrated.


Philadelphia and the latter West
ern Maryland at Baltimore.
Navy really is working for its game
with Army November II. 1t desires to
win from Pennsylvania, if it can, but.
1t, to much greater extent, wishes for
success against West Point. The Mid
shipmen would be willing to sacrifice
the Penn game 10 t. mes over to trim
the Soldier eleven especially since the
latter took the measure of Nosre Dame.
Actually, these two games mark the
high spots OF Navy'S season, and, while
the foot ball year virtually is ended,
for Navy the two big tests remain.
What Navy thinks of its Army game
everybody knows, but also the rivalry
with Pennsylvania has been getting
keener with each passing season,
until now Navy Is anxious to take a
Quaker scalp.
And Navy may have a better chance
to win from Penn, also from Army,
than ordinarily might be expected. The
service school really should have whip
ped Southern Methodist, according to
coaches or other schools that watched
the game, and the team as whole Is
playing exceptionally good foot ball.
Ono coach remarked this morning,
THAT Navy team is far stronger than
1t Is thought to be, and L LOOK for it
to give Army one awful battle"
MARYLAND meets in Western Mary
4Vx land an eleven that stands in a
class by itself, with one or two
exceptions, among the smaller colleges
Of the country. And, incidentally, Mary
land has been whipped the last two
years, IL to 0 and to o, by Western
Maryland: This week it probably will
60 INTO the game not any better than
an even choice, If it is given that.
With the exception of knee injury
to Charley May, and few more or less
minor bruises, Maryland came out of
its game with Hopkins ready for its
fnal effort. Wes ern Maryland hard
ly can help being ready, as it has not
had g hard game for nearly month.
The contest, from standpoint of pa. !.
tissn interest and technical foot pail,
ought to be pretty close 10 as good as
any played in this section during the
whole season.
THE Army seems to have knack of
L stopping Notre Dame better than
any other school. Two years ago
Notre Dame took a great team to New
York, but barely beat the Soldiers. Last
year at Chicago another great struggle
took place, and Saturday the South
Bend eleven that ran up many touch
downs on Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and
others could not cross the Army goal
Many wonder why a Notre Dame
team powerful enough to score 50 fire.
quently against Pennsylvania and Pitts
bIrgh could net score against an Army
eleven thai Pittsburg., defea3ed By a
big margin. Probably the answer
might be found in the number CT
touchdowns made against Pitt, Penn,
Drake and others. 1t takes just as
much, perhaps more, cut Of a team
to play through a game in which it
runs up big scores as 1t does to go
through one evenly matched with an
opponent If Notre Dame had been
content to score fewer touchdowns in
some OF its games possibly it might
have had more left for its two final eff
forts.
But after all, this is only a second
guess. and 1t may be that Notre Dame
just had to take two whippings, just as
all other teams do, soon or late.
nRINCETON wound up with an over
I whelming defeat by Yale what
perhaps hes been the worst grid
iron season it has had since it played
that memorable game with Rutgers
more than half century ago. The
Tigers lost more games end then were
defeated by Yale by the biggest score
by which q Princeton eleven ever lost.
However, this Is not the last foct ball
season Princeton will go through and
alumni of the university may feel sure
that better things are just ahead.
In the two big games played Saturday
in the far South, games intensified by
ancient rivalries, Georgia and Tulane
