Evening star., 1932-10-28

be played by their favorites today
and tomorrow on foreign fields,
their chief concern is likely to be
in the George Washington Iowa
contest tonight in the Clark
Griffith Stadium.
This is Iowa's first visit to the Ma
tion's Capital and its second to the
East and. while it occupies lowly place
among Western Conference elevens, it Is,
nevertheless, strong and well able to
look after itself A low team in the West
ern Conference Is net a weak team, by
any means.
The fact that Coach Jim Pixlee Of
George Washington says frankly that
his team has chance to win adds to
the attractiveneSs of the game, and
creates q somewhat unusual situation
For a coach Of a local college eleven
to say that his team has a chance to
whip big Middle Western university is
unusual in itself. and certainly should
be sufficient to indicate at least hard
fought game.
1OWA'S eleven came in yesterday after
i noon and worked out for a while
last night under the big lights. It
has husky outfit, but hardly seems
much more formidable than the local
team, as far as appearances are con-
cerned. or course, one can never tell
what foot ball team may do once it
gets under way. Most of the great In
dian teams that Warner developed at
Carlisle when they walked out on the
field hardly looked as efficient as they
We're. And the came may be true of
Iowa.
Last year George Washington went
out to Iowa City and lost, to o. Eight
new it seems to be somewhat stronger
than 1t was then, which may or may
not mean that it has better chance to
win. George Washington plans to rely
largely on its passing game, as it figures
1t may not be able to make much head
way in rushing against Iowa's big line.
Iowa. so far, has not shown a great Of
tense. but has proved strong defensively.
While Indiana beat Iowa, IL to 0. and
Minnesota won by three touchdowns
to one, it does not take much other
than these two results to show that
Iowa Is not easy to gain ground against.
The two teams are to line up at 8
O'Clock.
TWO other games are to be played
L here this week end, one this after
noon between Gallaudet and Bal
timore University and the other ton1or-
row at Clark Griffith Stadium between
Quantico Marines and Davis Elkins.
Both these games should be closely con-
tested. and the one in which the Ma
rines are to figure should be just about
as interesting and as well played as
any college game If Davis -Elkins is as
strong as it has been at times in the
past few years, its meeting with Ma
rtnes may result In a brilliant contest.
Marines have in their lineup several
men who could make almost any uni
versity eleven.
TEORGETOWN is at Detroit tonight
" to play University of Detroit. Be-
fore leaving here Coach Tom Mills
expressed himself in rather an optimistic
vein, saying that he believed his team
had chance to take the measure of
the Detroiters. Mills most significant
statement was to the effect that his
men have the ability to win, have much
greater ability than they have shown
and will win games as soon as they get
the right spirit.\
The game, while being played at De-
troit. is to be shown on the gridgraph
in Ryan Gymnasium at Georgetown.
The play begins at 9:15 local time.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY IS at
~ Worcester, Mass, today for per-
haps the most important test it has
ever faced on q gridiron. The Brook
landers. with a winning record behind
them, meet Holy Cross, usually one of
the strongest elevens in the East, in a
game that may mean gridiron prestige
far greater than any other Catholic U.
eleven has achieved. Coach Bergman,
like Tom Mills, was surprisingly opti-
mistic when his team left here yester-
day and that despite the fact that he
may have to play without his quarter
back, Charley McVean, who is not in
very good shape.
MARYLAND leaves early tomorrow
lVl morning for Richmond. where it
is to 60 against Virginia Military
Institute. The Old Liners apparently
have another hard tussle on their
hands, If v. M. rs victory over Vir-
ginia may be accepted at its fact value.
Virginia won from Maryland. to g,
while v. M. I. beat Virginia, 6 to 4.
This does not seem to insure walk
away for either eleven.
Maryland has put in much harder
week at practice than it has since Sep
tember, the squad having been down to
fundamentals of blocking and charging
in a way that probably would have been
very valuable If put into effect a month
ago. Incidentally, the squad Is In better
physical condition than it has been for
any game since 1t met Virginia.
TWO or three games in the South to-
i morrow may develop into great ex-
hibitions of modern foot ball.
Especially is this true Of Vanderbilt and
Georgia Tech, of Duke and Tennessee.
Vanderbilt two weeks ago would have
been rated an almost certain victor over
the Atlanta school, but since the latter
gave North Carolina such a walloping
the situation seems changed. Wander
bilt may be lucky to escape defeat. as 1t
has been through far more grueling
schedule than Tech. A lot OF people
think that Duke may make a much
better showing against Tennessee than
is looked for. Duke has team Of more
than average power and is well coached.
It may give Tennessee great battle,
although Tennessee is the favor1te.
0NE Of the great rivalries OF the
~ South is to be fought out tomor-
row at Chapel Hill between the
University of North Carolina and North
Carolina State College. These two in
stitutions have little love for each other
under the best Of conditions, and when
they get on the foot ball field that
seems wonderful opportunity to battle
out their differences. North Carolina
in recent years has almost invariably
been a winner, but it would be not at
all surprising to see the State College
eleven come out ahead this time. It
is the enc game in the State of North
Carolina that almost everybody who
cares anything about foot ball goes to
see.
