the latter. Both styles of play
are favorites with the average
mill-run of football fan.
In the Virginia Maryland bat
tie it will be power, weight and
strength, as exemplified by the
Cavaliers, matched against Suave
cunning known only to such ex-
perienced players as Maryland's
first team.
Georgetown and Western Mary
land will offer two highly pol
ished offensive machines with
modern tactics and strategy on
tap at all times. Hoppe and
Doughty, superior backfield men,
