4 University, local schools
~ that get far less considera-
ton for their gridiron ac-
complishments than they de-
serve, year after year go on play
ing through what to them are the
hardest kind of schedules. and
from mediocre material keep on
developing good elevens. Both
institutions build up foot ball
teams season after season out OF
material that probably would
cause some others to give up IN
despair. In fact, several schools
have abandoned foot ball unoer
less unfavorable conditions.
This wear Is not an exception. Win
from go to 100 boys from whom 10
draw material for their squads Do.h
c.allaudet and American U. are calmly
preparing to play through scheoules III
which they will constantly be meeting
schools with many more students anu
IN manv cases far better facilities 1or
attracting athletes. That these two col
Iaoez ARE able to do this year aluer yea
opS without a word Of alibi Is TRIBUTE
To the spirit Of their students anu W
the courage Of heir coacnes. ?,
This Fall, Gallaudet and American y.
omen their seasons just week la1eL
then the other local schools. They play
their first aames on october 3, the 1of-
mer with Ioyola. at Baltimore: and the
latter with Lynchburg College. at
Ivnchburg, Probably the strongest
teams to be met by Gallaudet are Catn-
olic University, Pennsylvania pMlisary
College, Marines and st. JOINS. Inc
strongest opponents OF American -
will be Johns Hopkins ana HaHpoeh-
Sidney. ..,,
with neither OF the opponents men
TONED does either Of the two local col
leres compare in size Of student Dooy,
In material for foot ball, in equipment,
in numbers of coaches, or in facllltles.
Without much doubt though, DOM Gal,
laudet and American U. Will give gooo
accounts OF themselves, despite Sucn
handicaps. Put the coaches OF some OF
The bigger schools out on the gridiron
and tell them to develop a team under
such conditions, to play against oppo-
ner,ts under such handicaps, and PROD
ably somebody would have TO bring OUT
the smelling salts.
And Walter Young of American U.
and Teddy Hughes OF Gallaudet are
lust the kind of fellows one would ex-
pect to find in such surroundings. botn
are fine. clean chaps who are in the
game more for the contacts and oppor-
tunities it offers to do good jobs in
helping to build men out OF boys tnan
for the salaries they get. 1ncldentally,
both are good coaches.
After the opening game with Lynch
burg College october 3, American Uni
versity takes another trip away on Oc-
tober 10, on this date TO meet Hampton
Sidney. It's first home game is with
High Point College here october II,
and High Point may this year be any
thing but an easy team to whip. On
october "a the team makes another
trip to play Shenandoah College. In
fact. all its remaining contests are on
foreign fields, as it plays at Shepherd
College october 81, at Johns Hopkins
November Z and at Randolph Macon
November 81. No game is scheduled on
November IA.
CALLAUDET developed few sur
" prises last season and It may do
the seme thing this year. It's VIC
tories over Baltimore University and
st. Francis, for instance, in 1880
proved that a small school with small
squad could whip much larger schools
with larger squads. The Kendall Green
ers open against a hard team, Loyola.
and then on October meet Catholic
University. And Catholic University
will be a far different Catholic Uni
versity from what 1t was year ago.
On october II the team goes to
langley Field for a game with the
eleven representing that Army aviation
base, then the following week. October
"a. plays its first home game with
Camp Meade. On october 81 the Ken
dali Greeners are scheduled to go to
chester to play Pennsylvania Military
College November 6 they meet the
Marines and on November IA and Fl
face st. Johns at Annapolis and Shop
herd College at Kendall Green.
Whatever may be the results OF their
seasons, no matter how many games are
won or lost, everybody will feel that
both Gallaudet and American u. will
have done as we'll as could be expected.
And both schools may rest assured that
thew have the best wishes Of all who
know what foot ball really stands for.
