as far as local gridirens
are concerned, takes it's
final curtain tomorrow.
Georgetown and Maryland are
the last to wind up their sched-
ules, the former with Carnegie
Tech at the Clark Griffith Sta
dium and the latter with West
ern Maryland at Baltimore. Both
games are to begin at o'clock.
For two weeks. since the Bucknell
tilt, Georgetown has been centering its
efforts on getting its team to a seasons
climax for the game with Carnegie.
From a Blue and Gray point of view,
no other contest it has played in recent
years has meant quite so much as the
one tomorrow. Victory over Carnegie
Tech would be something of recon-
pense for the setbacks suffered since
the beginning of the schedule.
COACH JACK HAGERTY said day
~ or two ago that he was not ex-
pecting to win, but felt his team
had q chance If it played inspired foot
ball The Blue and Gray eleven seems
to have come rapidly in the last two
weeks, and II it has improved as much
since 1t played Bucknell as it did in the
week prior to Bucknell then a big sur
prise may be thrown into the ranks of
The Pittsburgh school.
Carnegie Tech brings here a team
that is something of an enigma. In
some Of its games 1t has not seemed to
be 80 strong, but in its last two efforts,
those with University of Pittsburgh and
New York University, it showed a good
deal Of strength, despite defeats in both
instances. Pitt beat Carnegie only 6
to and New York U. was victor by 13
to 9. It was generally conceded by those
that saw the Carnegie-N. Y. u. contest
that Carnegie played at least as good
foot ball as its conqueror. And any
team that holds Pitts eleven to a lone
touchdown has got to have real power.
Outside Of its games with N. Y. U.
and Pitt, Carnegie's record is not i'm
pressive. 1t beat Geneva, to o.; won
from Western Reserve, 19 to o: tied
w. and j., 6 to 6; tied Temple, to Z,
and beat ST. Xavier, Is to 0, and lost to
Notre Dame. 0 to AZ.
Georgetown probably will make a
much better showing than its own sup

and several backs who are capable of
going somewhere If their 1ine gives them
chance.
MARYLANDS squad meets Western
1v1 Maryland in a game in which the
latter is rated favorite by quite a
margin. At least, that is how Western
Maryland and the Baltimore writer's are
looking on the possibilities. Western
Maryland so far has lost only one
game. defeat by Bucknell by IA to 13.
Its other contests have resulted in vic
tories, except for two ties.
Maryland does not have near such an
impressive record as Western Maryland.
The Old Liners lost three consecutive
games early in October, but since that
played good foot bali against Washing
ton and Lee, but not SO well against
Hopkins. They must face Western
Maryland virtually without any real
special preparation, while Western
Maryland has not played for three
weeks, consequently has had that time
IN which to make special preparation.
Maryland, however, apparently will 60
tneo the game In better shape than
u has been for any other contest 1t has
had this year.
So far Maryland has won games
end lost S. 1t lost to Virginia, v. p l.,
Duke Vanderbilt and Navy and won
from Washington College, st. Johns,
Xirgtnia Military Institute, Hopkins and
washington and Lee.
TWO games are listed tomorrow be-
u tween Southern Conference schools
Tennessee plays Florida at jack
sonville, while Alabama Polytechnic
institute tries conclusions with South
Carolina ut Columbia. Tennessee has
. much better team than Florida and
ought to win, but Auburn, even with its
brilliant record, may not have easy
going against South Carolina. To tell
the truth, South Carolina has much
stronger foot ball team than generally
is thought, and 1t may prove very real
stumbling block for Auburn, the team
that has worked itself to the top of
the conference since it began practice
in September as a dark horse. 1t is
Interesting to note that in September
in letter to the writer, Chet Wynne,
head coach at Auburn, mentioned that,
after the schedule his team was to
play, South Carolina might prove in
the wind-up the toughest assignment
Of the season.
ALABAMA eleven Is out On tle HdcIilc
Coast to meet st. Mary's. The game
Is to be played at San Francisco. The
Southern team Is said to be in good
shape except for Gains ability to punt,
which may be hampered by bad leg
Two intersectional games are listed,
Nebraska at Southern Methodist Uni
versity at Dallas, Tex, and Detroit at
Loyola University, New Orleans. There
probably is not much difference in the
caiiber Of these opponents.
