OCAL college foot ball teams
are almost ready to lay away

has the season passed that
almost before it was realized, the
good old gridiron ship sailed over
the crest of the wave and now is
near the bottom of the trough.
Just a little while and the jar of
cleated shoes will no longer be
heard, and the collective college
campus will go indoors to watch
basket ball teams shoot their way
through to possible victories.
American University already has fin
aShed its season. The Eagles closed
Saturday with a great game against
Randolph-Macon. Even if 6-to-o de-
feat were sustained, the local school
a1ad nothing in that contest of which
it should feel anything but proud. 1t
played well against one OF the strongest
small college elevens in the East.
SEoRGE WASHINGTON has only
NJ one more game-with Oklahoma
University Thanksgiving day. The
Sooners are coming here and are ex-
pected to provide one OF the best spots
been sailing through an extraordinarily
good season and hopes to put on a
touch at the finish good enough to
make finished picture.
GEORGETOWN has two more games, and
that it will win either seems doubtful
Bucknell comes here this week and
Carnegie Tech on December 8. Buck
nell has defeated Western Maryland.
while Carnegie Tech has been showing
fo0 hall ftay, l1a nd
II Coach Hagerty can pull his team
through to victory in either of these
contests he will do more than any
body expects of him.
Catholic University's eleven is to be
seen here in both its remaining games,
DuQueSne the coming Friday night at
Clark Grifith Stadium and Loyola of
Baltimore Thanksgiving day in the
Brookland stadium. The Cardinals
have at least an even chance against
DuuueSne, and better than an even
chance against Loyola.
HALLAUDETS one remaining game
NJ probably will not give it much
chance to better its record. In as
much as it meets Shepherd College
which some time ago whipped American
University, it hardly seems possible for
the Kendall Green team to muster
strength enough to wind up with
victory.
Maryland still has three games to go.
Saturday it makes trip to Lexington
to play Washington and Lee, Thanks
giving day engages in its annual setto
with Johns Hopkins, and on December
hooks up with Western Maryland Col
lege. What the Old Liners may do in
these three games is only conjecture,

Aeges are concerned, George Washington
and Catholic University have ridden in
triumph, while the others do not have
very much to look back upon. George
town and Maryland have worse records
than any Georgetown or Maryland team
has made in years. Gallaudet has been
"a consistent loser, while American UNI
Sversity has done about as well as it
should have been expected TO.
LIP Princeton had any question in its
Ill mind about the efficiency of its new
foot ball orgs niZation, the result Of
the game with Yale should dispel it.
kFhe tie with the Dark Blue, in the light
tDf recent Tiger records. was almost as
good as victory, and undoubtedly DEM
kOnstrated that in another season the

kWhiIe victories over major opponents
Ihave not been the rule, still with a
igreat game against Michigan, lost by a
ssiender margin, and other fine contests
with Cornell, Navy and Yale, it
sseems that Princeton alumni may sit
hack and contemplate with good deal
kof satisfaction the return of their alma
sEnater to a standard whereon she can

Twin its share of victories.

True, two ''boners" put it in position
TO get the touchdowns It got in the first
quarter, but on both occasions IT hao
the punch to take advantage OF its op-
portunities. Navy simply had a much
better foot ball team than the Old
Line School, and was more effective In
every way. With the exception of two
mr. three mistakes, Maryland did not
play bad foot ball, but its fairly gooc
foot ball was not good enough to match
the Sailors.
TATHoLIC UNIVERSITY had just a!

eleven was good enough to come through
