Appetizers for your turkey din.
ner tomorrow will be offered at
Griffith Stadium and Catholic
UniverSity's bowl.
At the baseball yard, George
Washington tackles the gigantic
North Dakota eleven.
At C. U. bowl. the Cardinals
will endeavor to make it eight
straight by defeating Loyola Of
Baltimore.
Severe Afternoon Ahead
If North Dakota plays the
kind of football it offered against
Oregon, when "Tubby" Spears
great team was moving eastward
for it's big game with N. Y. u,
the Colonials are in for a gridiron
lesson.
If Loyola offers the sort Of
battle it staged against Western
Maryland, then C. U. faces a
very severe afternoon.
Both games loom as attractive
in more ways than one.
George Washington has been
building slowly and surely. Pix.
lee, with a very definite pro-
gram of Improvement, has in
voked coaching methods which
have proved very successful. He
is ably assisted by men who
know that cooperation is eyer
the basis of football success.
Record Crowd Looms
Catholic University, under the
clever and practical Dutch"
Bergman, has established itself
not only as a fine football team,
but as a colorful aggregation
which is gaining the heart in
terest Of many, many persons. A
record crowd is expected to see
the Cards oppose the fighting
Irish from Baltimore.
North Dakota. foemen of the
Colonials. trlpped the Oregon
eleven which subsequently de-
feated the powerful N. Y. U.
eleven.
Loyola, Turkey Day guests Of
c. u, worked out a tie with a
fast travelling Western Maryland
team.
Dakota and Loyola are both
worthy opponents, indeed so
worthy that it would not at all
be surprising if both won over the
local opposition.
Dakota Has Power
George Washington appears to
be in a tight spot. C. U. also. It
is not that the Cardinals are in q
better spot, but rather that the
Colonials are in a worse.
Dakota has power, all kinds Of
it. The units of the team are big
chaps, rough and ready, we'll
versed in off-tackle smashes and
power plays. 1t is cold at this
season up in North Dakota. 1t
is warm here in the District. Per-
haps this weather angle will af-
feet the Dakotas. That remains
to be seen.
Loyola is a fighting team. 1t
all but tripped up the most pow.
erful and versatile eleven Holy
Cross has ever had. The Loyola
players can make it very try
ing afternoon for any football
team in this country. More than
likely they will make it an ordeal
for c. U. tomorrow.
Maryland at Baltimore
While G. w. and c. U. are bat
tling on home fields, Maryland
proceeds to Baltimore for its an
nual clash with Johns Hopkins
The latter have a habit Of testing
Maryland to the very limit. How
ever, it appears that despite rath
er hard going for while in to.
morrow'S game the Old Liners will
come through with a victory.
Down Roanoke way the stage is
set for that very colorful and
splendid Virginia Military Insti.
tute- Virginia Polytech spectacle
This should be a pippin, with the
outcome a toss-up. Thousands in
Washington who will be unable to
attend this attraction will await
the result with excitement.
Another game attracting conSid-
erable local attention is the Duke
Washington and Lee battle. The
Blue Devils will have to move at
top speed in this particular game.
One may as well become resigned
to the fact that when Duke and
w. & L. clash all pre-game dope
is just wasted effort.
