dIlU NCOI SCIO"II Will WSoO VA
ginia tomorrow afternoon make
UP the week end of gridiron COM
petition for local colleges. c. U.
and Georgetown play their games
at Clark Griffith Stadium, while
Gallaudet goes to Annapolis.
In the contest tonight Catholic Uni
versity hardly knows what kind of d
team it is up against. 1t is known that
st. Francis has in its lineup one or two
chaps who formerly played good foot
ball at other colleges, and the Brook
land coaches are somewhat at loss to
understand just how strong the visitors
may be. Certainly. if the other mem
bers of the team are up to the callber
of two, then they should be quite for
midable.
Coach Bergman said this morning
that he felt his team ought to beat st.
Francis, provided that school is not
stronger than it usually is. But, of
course" went on the BrooklanderS'
coach. "if it is a whole lot stronger
than we expect, then nobody can tell
what may happen 1 believe that we
ought to be as good as we have been In
any other contest this year
TEORGETOWN'S game with West
" Virginia should be one of the best
this season. AS a matter OF fact,
for brilliance of play 1t should stand in
a class by itself. as far as contests this
week are concerned The Hilltoppers
and West Virginia always put up inter-
: esting fights, and some of their games
have been productive of ABOUT as gooo
play as one sees anywhere.
Coach Tom Mills is firm in the belief
that his men have the best chance TO
win from the Mountaineers they have
had to capture game since they met
Western Maryland in the second contest
of the season. His players are in much
better physical condition than at any
time since the season opened, and with
improved physical condition goes I'M
proved morale.
The West Virginia squad is due to
come to Washington today in automo-
bfles, discarding the traditional nlgnt
railroad ride from Morgantown. Word
from Harry StanSbury, director OF ath-
letics at the MorgantoWn institution,
brings the information that West VIZ
ginia is in good shape and ready LOT Inc
tough battle it usually gets IN us games
here. Stansbury seldom commits nlm-
self about anything. but Goes go lar
enough to say that he expects to see a
hard fought struggle with a possible
break deciding the issue.
CTANIEY, who has been hurt since
y practice at Rehobeth Beach, Will
start his first game Tor George
town. He got in few minutes Oh .llS
contest with Bucknell, and did SO Wen
that Mills figures he cannot afford to
LET him stay on the bench at the pc
Ginning of any contest. Especially IS
This so. since Stanley is good punter'
a department of play in when George
town has been sadly lacking.
In recent years Georgetown ana west
Virginia have met five times, thelr lit HOY
ern series having begun back IN 80 TO-
That year West Virginia was 'I Gonrg ~
"a tn 10. The following year George
town won. and in the whole hve years

fine foot ball, far be1ter 1901 paIi go
it will ever get credit Tor: Sucll s salns
&C II nut up against Michigan SCate,
withstanding Michigan State won by
one touchdown, should produce victory.
GaI1audet hardly has much chance
n heat St. Johns. The kendaA
Greeners go to Annapolis to face more
experienced players and a mucn
heavier team. 1t may be-, OF coulse
that they will show much lmproveu
brand of foot ball and do loI Dettea
last week they played exceptionally
well. losing to the strong Marines ny
two touchdowns to three. In other
words that game at Quantico showed
that Gallaudet is coming along.
TN the whole. South foot ball eyes are
i conferred on the contest tomorrow
and Tulane. No contest IN DIXIE ~
years has excited so much conjecture
and comment. Teams that nave met
both Georgia and Tulane seem to feel
that Tulane should win, but picking
any eleven to beat Georgia Is risky
business. At least, Georglas RECORD SO
far indicates that. According 10 Cnose
who have watched both eleVenS, men
who should know what they are talk-
ing about, Tulane has more agrees
sive line and a much stronger sec
on6arv defense than Georgia. One
coach told the writer short Whne
hack that Tulane has the best Sec
ondary defense he has seen IN years,
and remarked that when those men
tackle they tackle and the ball carrier
lust stays put" That kind OF tacKnng
is hard to beat under any KIND OF con-
ditions. even when one team Is mucn
stronger than the other. 1t seems 10
he the general thought that the eleven
that wins will be accorded the South
ern title.
If Vanderbilt whips Tennessee there
seems to be no doubt that the victor IN
the Georgia Tulane game should be the
title holder. OF course, Vanderbilt mas
not vet whipped Tennessee, and Tennes-
see is strong, as was shown by Its
25-to-O defeat of ALBANIA. Vanderbilt
reonle think they have good chance
To heat the Volunteers, and II they 40
win it will be their first victory in their
big care in four years. From van
derbilt viewpoint, nothing could be oet-
ter.
1.-TWO Southern elevens go North Tor
games tomorrow. Georgia Tech
plays PENNSYLVANIA and Washing
ton and Lee meets Princeton. The Tor
,ner probably will enter the Penn game
on the short end of the odds, but there
is a fair chance that Washington and
Lee may whip Princeton. Southern
people will be pulling for the Atlanta
school and for the Generals 10 keep
up the good record made by southern
elevens in the North this year.
In the South Atlantic section, the
Virginia Military Institutes contest
with kentucky and the annual Virginia
Virginia Polytechnic Institute contest
take the lead. v. M. I. has little or no
chance to beat Kentucky, and Kentucky
Should win by a comfortable score
". I. is strong enough to whip Vir-
rinia, but If Virginia were to find itself
a much better game would result than
