than has been indicated, while
two seem somewhat weaker
Loyola College of Baltimore never
has been given credit for strength
enough to battle Holy Cross al
most evenly, but that is what ii
did last week, nor was University
OF Detroit thought good enough tt
beat Michigan State until it did it.
The other two elevens, North Da-
kota and Hopkins, the former whipped
by Duquesne and the latter trounced
by Western Maryland, hardly measure
up to what was expected of them.
North Dakota comes here to play
George Washington Thursday, Loyola
is to be Catholic University's guest the
same day, while Hopkins entertainS
Maryland in Baltimore University of
Detroit is to be Georgetowns opponent
Saturday.
Having come out of difficult games
of last week, local schools seem to have
plenty of work cut out for them for the
next few days. Or rather, to speak
more accurately, they probably have
plenty to think about, because after
the hard games in which three of them
took part Saturday, they ought not to
spend much time at hard work before
they take the field again Thursday.
THAT Loyola team of Baltimore ap-
l. parently was not a flash and not
lucky when it held the Western
Maryland eleven to tie three weeks
ago If it had been it would not have
been able to play Holy Cross to vir-
tual standStill Saturday up in Worces
ter. Holy Cross was able to take the
measure of Loyola by score of only
81 So a
that Holy Cross has been one OF the
strong teams of the East the signif-
icance of such strength is not lost by
Catholic U.
The Brooklanders probably will have
O much harder game Thursday than
they had against Providence College,
and in the light of comparison with
Holy Cross they may consider them
selves rather lucky to get away with
the long end of the score.
@EORGETOWN apparently will face
" a much stronger Detroit eleven
than it expected to. The Detroit
outfit has not been showing such strength
this year as it did at times last, but
that it was able to trim Michigan State
shows what Georgetown has in store
in the way of hard struggle. George
town could not score on Michigan
State, yet Detroit crossed Michigan
States goal line three times Coach
Tom Mills will have to use all his in
genuity If he is to get away with the
Titans.
With Georgetown going along in such
fine shape, with victories over Villanova
and West Virginia to its credit the last
two Saturdays, and with Detroit appar-
emily coming along even better, 1t
would seem that about the best game OF
the year will be staged. Local people
IN nm
with the long end of the score, feeling
that the fine fight the team has made
under the handicaps of injuries entitle
it to a brilliant finish.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON ought to
" stand an even chance to beat
North Dakota. The ColonialS
played so well against Butler that hard
" anybody could do anything other
than to concede them e. good bet against
the Dakota eleven, despite the fine rec
ord the latter made prior to Saturday.
Also the long trip being made by
North Dakota, coupled with two games
in i've days, should rebound to George
. Washington's advantage.
MARYLAND will enter its game with
HOPKINS fRvorite II there Is any virtue
in comparing the records of two elevens
However, that may mean something
and 1t may not, as Hopkins usually
keys I'D all season to take crack at
the Old Liners. And often even when
they have not been strong enough to
win every game but one, as they have
this year, they have given the State
university terrific battles.
IF the number IS had real lack of luck
L attached to it. then things would be
just too bad for the three local COL
leges that played Saturday. George
town, Catholic University and Maryland
each scored IS points in winning their
games with Villanova, Providence and
Washington and Lee. In fact, the
scores of two of the contests were the
same, Georgetowns differing from the
others in that Vil,anova failed to kick
Its point after touchdown.
OF the six contests played by local
schools last week end all but one turned
out as was expected. In fact no games
could have run truer to form 1t was
felt that all the six local elevens were
up against tough assignments and they
were. except George Washington, which
walloped Butler soundly. True, George
town. Catholic u. and Maryland were
victors. but they won only after hard
competition.
CALIFORNIA; defeat of Stanford Should
De CldSSeu as n QlSIlIlCJ triumph 1Ol Dill
Ingram, former Navy coach, now in hi;
first year at the former school. ingram
has had fair season, outside the game
with Stanford, but the defeat of Stan
ford gives him the most brilliant ending
California has had in nearly a decade
Seven years is long time to wait fol
victory in foot ball, and when 1t finally
came, it probably was all the sweeter
And incidentally, Ingram will, and
should, get all the more credit.
HARVARD had a brilliant season
i i prior to last week. but no matter
what the team accomplished before
that the result against Yale bring!
gloom at Cambridge. Probably NJ
other two schools in the country attach
so much importance to one contest a.
Yale and Harvard do to theirs. Thu
natural result of that is eXultation TO
one and the depths for the other at thu
end of each season.
