Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-10-02


Two of the biggest local games of the
year are those between Georgetown and
Western Maryland and between Mary
land and Virginia. Georgetown's con-
test with Western Maryland is likely to
be one in which about as good foot
ball as one ever sees will be played.
Not only is Georgetown strong, but
Western Maryland also has a fine
eleven. Both teams have a lot of eX-
perience behind them and both are we'll
coached.
Maryland and Virginia offer some
thing of contrast to Georgetown and
Western Maryland. The Old Liners and
Cavaliers are building up a real rivalry,
but probably as peculiar a rivalry as
exists in foot ball, in that, while in
tense on the field, it is backed by
comradeShip and many personal friend
Ships that are even more highly valued
than the game itself. AS an exhibition
Of highly technical machinelike foot
ball, it is doubtful If Maryland and Viz
ginia will put up as perfect an exhibit
ton as Georgetown and Western Mary
land especially as they have not been
in training as long.
TON MILLS is beginning to feel OPP
l. timistic about his Georgetown team.
The work of the last few DAYS has
ginning to look toward the Western
Maryland game tomorrow with eager
anticipation. In talking Of his pros
pects this morning Mills said bis team
has played better foot ball in Nhe last
few days by far than at any time dur
ing the early part of the 1880 season.
Il am much encouraged over our
prospects" says Mills, and I look for
Georgetown to play good foot ball to-
I'M hlnNkiPO hoc
ing considerable improvement, and the
players have gone at their practice with
better spirit in the last three or four
days than 1 have known at any other
time since 1 came to Georgetown.
we win take the field tomorrow with
the thought that our best should be
enough to win. And don't make any
mistake about the fact that we want to
win. too. You know we have taken two
consecutive lickings from Western Mary
land and defeats of that kind do not
set we'll with us.
Il believe We have a far better chance
this year than last. If We play as good
foot ball as we are capable of playing.
I think the last whistle WI find us
with fresh scalp at our belts"
7 TITLE has been said about the Vir-
IL ginia- Maryland game, except that
both teams will go into it to re-
deem poor showings Of last week. Just
how much better foot ball they will
play remains TO be seen. but the chances
are that both Virginia end Maryland
should be two different teams.
Virginia alumni are holding dinner
tonight at the Chevy Chss' Club at
which Fred Dawson Virginia coach,
will be the principal speaker. Jimmy
Driver. athletic director, and Malcolm
Luck alumni secretary are also to be
present and talk briefly.
The Virginia team comes here this
evening and will not return to Char
lottesville until Sunday morning. About
40 men will be in the SQUAD to be
brought here by Coach Dawson,
great many of them veterans of the
1880 campaign. In fact. according to
reports, it is likely that nine men who
took part in the Maryland game last
season will be in the lineup tomorrow
Maryland also will have a veteran
team in the game. In fact, there prob
ably should not be a good deal of diff
ference in the makeup OF the two
