George Washington and Maryland
are saving little about what they are
doing IN meet the menace Of invasion
by two such powerful squads as Ala

the Colonials has said the main OIL
fensive reliance will be placed IN an
overhead attack of which Johnny Fen
Ion is to be the starting point. The
Colonials are not hoping to be able to
do much with the Alabama forwards.
MARYLAND has spent the entire week
polishing up its general of1ense, paying
no particular attention to any phase
of it.

and Lee so decisively. And in addltlon
to these men, one or two others, among
them McCarver, one OF the best PACKS
on the squad. are ready for duty. Mary
land is to have two changes in its line
up from the way it appeared at tne

at Charlottesville from which they have
not recovered sufficiently to play.
Both George Washington and Mary
land should be on the short end OF the
pre-game predictions Neither has an
even chance to win, although, of course,
it is perfectly possible that either may
win. Both the Colonials and Old
Liners are going to be up against 1t to-
morrow and need expect nothing other
than a hard, rough afternoon. Both,
though, should play some. good foot
ball. but how productive their good foot
ball may be depends entirely on how
strong Alabama and v. P. I. are, and
plenty strong enough.
4 ND while we're speaking of the
n games George Washington and
Maryland are to play here it is
worthwhile to mention that George
town, according to its scouts, will face
a much stronger team at Canisius than
it expected This morning one OF the
Blue and Gray coaches had this to say:
II think we'll win alright. but we're
going to get more of a mauling than we
have been looking for. Canisius has
a lot of excellent foot ball material,
which probably is better than ours. Its
kicking and passing are far better than
anything we can produce. Our team is
improving all the time, though, and we
should come through with victory,
but not without good deal Of battling:
Georgetown's squad leaves early this
evening for Buffalo, having determined
to postpone its departure from last
night until this time.
Gallaudet, in perhaps not so glowing
a way, is up against the same kind OF
a difficult uphill fight that are George
Washington and Maryland. Washing
ton College is coming over here with
the experience gained in two games al
ready played, while Gallaudet Is open.

thank its lucky stars If it escapes with
