TOR the last time this year
r all six local college foot ball
l. teams have games the same
week end. And in these six
contests is likely to be seen as
good play as in any of the previ-
Gus struggles in which local
elevens have played a part. OPP
posing teams bid fair to be fully
as strong as those that have their
homes here, and it may be that
more than one scalp will be car
ried to foreign territory.
Beginning tonight with George Wash
ington's game with Butler at Clark
Griffith Stadium at BIS o'clock, in all
probability there will be some wild
scrambling and brilliant efforts through
out every contest until the last whistle
blows on the other five games tomorrow
afternoon.
Here's the complete program for the
week end:
George Washington VS.. Butler at
Clark Griffith Stadium tonight, S:15
o'clock.
Georgetown VS.. Villanova at villa
nova tomorrow.
Catholic University VS.. Providence
at Brookland tomorrow, 2;30.
Gallaudet VS.. Shepherd at Kendall
Green tomorrow, 2:30.
American University VS.. Randolph
Macon at Ashland tomorrow.
nd ach
at College Park tomorrow, 2:30.
Much already has been written of
these games-So much that there seems
very little more to be said. However,
the one thing in connection with them
all that seems to be uppermoSt in the
minds of those that are in close touch
with foot ball conditions is that the
local schools uniformly are up against
difficult opposition.
CEORGE WASHINGTON has it's best
" foot ball team in years, but that is
not the same as making a state
ment that it has better than an even
chance to beat Butler University which
itself usually turns out mighty credit
able teams. All that George Washing
ton people care to commit themselves
on is that they expect to go on the
field at its best, both mentally and
physically, and that at their best they
feel they have an even chance to win.
But the ColonialS make themselves dis
tinctly understood that unless they are
at their best they may take trimming.
TEORGETOWN'S feeling about the
" game with Villanova is not far from
that of George Washington about
Butler. The Blue and Gray knows that
up at Villanova is team strong enough
to give any of the schools in the East
merry afternoon and consequently Is
not trying to fool itself one bit about
the kind of game it is to play and the
standard Of play it must attain to win.
Georgetown, like George Washington, is
in excellent physical condition, and its
| victory over West Virginia has given 1t
the mental stimulus so essential TO real
! success.
Out at Catholic University is to play
~ team that earlier this year gave
Holy Cross struggle, and there
are few better foot ball teams in the
East than Holy Cross. Providence Col
! lege is bringing here big, fast line, be-
hind which is a clever and heavy back
| field, and the combination of these fac
tors usually Is what makes formidable
eleven.
Catholic University is hoping to get
away with the long end of the score
but knows that it must go better than
it has in almost any of its previous
games in order to achieve that end.
! TALLAUDET and American Univer-
" sity probably will wind up with de-
featS That seems almost certain
| in the case of American University, un-
less a big upset takes place, as it will
meet in Randolph Macon one of the
best small college outfits in the section
In the case of Gallaudet, this does not
hold so true. If the Kendall Greeners
have improved considerably since theli
