The attack of the Harvard

game, has been dismissed with scant
consideration by William j. Bingham.
director of the Crimson's athletics.
Athletic relations between Harvard
and West Point have been, and always
will be, I hope, cordial. Harvard only
asks that its opponents certify players
who meet its own scholastic require
ments. The Army always has done SO
in the past and present relations guar
antee it will do SO in the future"

Bingham said. except to pay my own
tribute to the battle waged by Head

FOOT BALL game between

~ versities at Griffith Stadium
December II, or games be-
tween these squads and two out-of-
town teams now is being planned as
a benefit for Washington's jobless by
George ]. Adams, executive secretary
of the District of Columbia Committee
on Employment, following the declina-
ton of the University Of Maryland to
enter into such a program because OF
its custom of not participating in post

would seek to enlist the assistance Of
George Washington University in hav-
ing its team take part in the program
and was confident something beneficial

Marylands Statement.
The statement issued by the Mary
land officials yesterday. following sub
mission to them of the proposal of a
game, was as follows:
The University of Maryland Ath-
letic Board met today to consider the
proposition CT playing a post-season
game of foot ball, the proceeds to be
contributed to the unemployment fund
of the District of Columbia
The desire to aid in such a worthy
cause led the Athletic Board to con-
slider the proposition from every point
of view. However, the board came to
the definite conclusion that, notWith-
standing its desire to cooperate in this
good cause, 1t must adhere to its GUS
tom of not participating in post-season
contests.
THE consideration of this matter led
the board to give further attention to
plan already before it to designate for
this purpose one of the games yet to
be played on the regular schedule, pro-
vided the consent of the opposing uni
versity can be obtained. And, in this
connection, the board suggests that the
other local universities do likewise"
Members of the Maryland athletic
board are
DR.. L. B. Droughton, head of the
chemistry department.
Prof. Charles S. Richardson. head of
the public speaking department.
Prof. j. V. MetZger, assistant director

CRIPPLED ELEVEN
KEEPS Up DANDER
Tolls GrimIy for Michigan
State, Undaunted by Other
Tough Games Ahead.
BY r. ID. THOMAS.

1 SITYS foot ball team is
.,1,.,.. I.,,A IAN 1x;oIr;,.,

~EORGE-OWN UNIVER-
SITY'S foot ball team is
~ down, but still kickin.
Tom Mills and his band
of Hoyas, pushed into limbo by a
powerful New York University
team ana held there by a second
rate Duquesne eleven, was prepar-
ing grimly today for battle with
Michigan State next Saturday at
East Lansing.
1t will be a so-called miracle if they
win but the Hoyas hope to achieve one
and perhaps several of those things
before this campaign is finished.
The Blue and Gray record is not as
poor as it appears on paper, or to view
matters from another angle, its future
should not be reckoned by its past.
Its whole machine was thrown out of
gear by broken parts when it went
down heavily before N. Y. U. and there
was no CHARGE to make adequate re-
pairs before it met Duquesne and was
held to a scoreleSs tie.
IT was a spiritless lot OF gridironers
i merely doing a job that played
Duquesne on miserable night last
week in Pittsburgh, but the old fire
has returned since the Hilltoppers
started work for the clash with Mich
igan State, which it defeated unex-
pectedly last year, IA to Is.
We may get our ears pinned back
again." as Mush Dubofsky put it, but
1t won't be because we didn't try"
For a team virtually wrecked by in
turieS and string of formidable OPP
ponents just ahead, Georgetown s
morale is high. Michigan State, Boston
College, Bucknell. West Virginia, Viii
lanova and Detroit are to be met in
order, and the Hilltoppers feel that
somewhere along the trail they will re-
cover full strength, or nearly so, and
do things to blur the memory of that
painful lacing in New York.
GEORGETOWN has suffered greatly
" from the lack of kicker. 1t is
a fact almost remarkable that of
all the three-Score or more candidates
who tried for the team this year not
one was gifted in this respect and none
who made the regular grade possessed
even fair ability Coach Mills has
tried desperately to develop a punter.
According TO the critics present, it
was the ". 1t of an able kicker that
prevented Georgetown from beating
Duquesne. Dick King made a brave
effort but his shots travelled in a low
trajectory and enabled the Duke re-
ceiver to get well under way before the
Hoyas could get near him.

Wolfpack Alert, Has Drive, Says
Scout, but Cardinals Show
Much Improvement.

Catholic University's foot ball team
is figured to have a f1rst-rate chance
of conquering North Carolina State in
their game Friday night at Raleigh.
George Vlk, Cardinal end coach, who
secuted the Wolfpack when it bowed
to Davidson recently. today described
the Carolina outfit as an alert eleven
with plenty of drive and other assets,
and expressed the belief that the breaks
had been responsible for most of the
teams reversals to date.
c. U. must have improved punting
and its olfense functioning at top form
if it is to win, said Vlk.
The Cardinals showed plenty of zip
in their drill yesterday They were to
scrimmage today at Brookland. and to-
morrow night will work under the'flood-
lights at Griffith Stadium to complete
preparations for the battle at Raleigh.
