consider itself lucky. He said:
"There is a general hot spell

cept for a section Of the West
coast, che country is due to

tween their 10-to-o defeat Of last sea-
son and their decisive victory this lies
in the margin of improvement of
Georgetown over its 1880 strength.
New York University also is stronger
now than 1t was a year ago, but 1t Is
doubtful II 1t is as much stronger as
Georgetown Is And q year ago George
town played just as well as N. Y. U.
did. That would seem to give the Blue
and Gray just bit of a margin, but,
Of course, In that kind Of q comparison
unknown fallacieS may exist. At the
worst, though, 1t Is hard to form any
other opinion than that Georgetown
has an even chance to take the meas

T UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND has
~ never won from Navy in foot ball.
OF course, that Is hardly a fair
psychological inference. as far as the
Navy Is concerned, as Maryland has
played Navy only once since 1t became
a university and since 1t developed into
an institution of over 5000 students
instead CT 800. So perhaps to all in
tents and purposes 1t would be better
to say that the two schools have met
only once, last year.
Then they were just about as evenly
matched as two foot ball teams could
be. and, after the second play OF the
game, on which kim made his 65-yard
run for a touchdown, they See-Sawed
up and down the field, first one team
then the other having an advantage.
That game at Annapolis last season was
one Of the great games Of the year, and
the outlook now is that 1t will come
pretty close to being duplicated Satur-
day.
Costly fumbling has almost ruined
two games for Maryland. although both
were pulled out on the right side OF
the ledger Maryland knows that Navy
players will be seeking in various ways
to make that tendency to tumble even
more pronounced. and it Is condition
that Maryland knows 1t must remedy
at all costs.
Both Maryland and Navy use an open
/ style Of play, interspersed with quick
breaks and twisters that make for the
most sensational kind OF foot ball. Both
are ground-gaining elevenS. and both
employ about every known kind OF
tactics to break down an opposing de-
