course. 1t is difficult to think other thar
that it will not have as much flash anc
initiative as it might have had 1t not
played last week and were 1t on Its
home field.
CFoRGE WASHINGTON'S team, as
~ far as its physical qualifications are
concerned, need take on It's nat to
no other group. And the Colonlals
have in their midst some excellent foot
ball PLAYERS, men who could come close
to making any team. It takes mighty
good defense to stop the running game
and passing of Fenlon, Baker and
McCarver, the last mentioned the Hash
lest and most consistent ground gamer
on the squad.
nKLAHOMA has team of varying
~ proportions, as far as physical
makeup is concerned. The players
range in weights from 145 pounos,
carried by Alb walker, one of the quar-
terbacks, to 224, by Orville Corey, tackle.
incidentally statistics of the Oklahoma
eleven have 1t that Corey is only little
over feet 9 inches, which seems to
show that the young man Is quite
stocky.
Under ordinary circumstances, 1t
would seem that Oklahoma should be
favored to beat the Colonials, but as
matters stand for tomorrow'S contest,
IL is question If they will be. George
washington ought to be in so much
better physical condition that the diff
ference may count good deal in the
result.
Catholic University may be picked to
beat Loyola with fair certainty that
the selection would be good. Almost
anything may happen in foot Dali
game, though, and Loyola may be a
good deal stronger than 1t Is expected
to be. Anyway, Coach Dutch Bergman
is not taking any more chances than
he has to. He has been working just
as hard as he dares in preparation for
the contest.
WHILE George washington and
w Catholic University are playing on
their home fields, University OF
Maryland viii be battling with Johns
Hopkins in contest the rivalry OF
which dates back to 1892. And usually
the game draws about as big crows
as any of the other contests played In
Baltimore. Consistently, it has drawn
larger crowds than any other. In all
probability more people win watch the
Hopkins Maryland game than saw the
game between Navy and Maryland.
Hopkins seems to have its best
chance in years. Except for two games
the Baltini0reans have proved an ex-
ceptionally effective team, while Mary
land in some of its contests has been
ANYTHING but that. 1t really Is dificult
to compare the two teams. Hopkins
probably has Just as big team as
Maryland but team that hardly has
been tried under such fire as Maryland
has faced.
Despite some predictions IN Balti-
more, Maryland probably has little
better than an even chance, II 1t makes
the most of its opportunities. However,
It will be the type of game in which,
u the Old Liners slip, almost anything
may happen.
NEoRGE WASHINGTON, Catholic
NJ U. and Maryland all lose some
good men this year, the first men
toned two being due for the severest
blows. From its lineup OF tomorrow
will 20 Fenlon, Kriemelmeyer and Car
ter, backs, and Chambers, Mulvey, Gal
ioway, Wilson, Slaird and Blackstone,
linenen. Several of these are excep--
tional players, and especially will Slaird
be missed from the right tackle posi-
tion and Fenlon from the backfleld.
Whelan and Sheary, star backs at
~. u, are among the men who wind
%p their careers. And when two such
Rre taken from any backfield they
sere missed, no matter how optimistic
3pthers may be concerning the oncom-
9ng young athletes from freshman
elevens.
u Maryland's oaekfeld will be depleted
by the loss Of three men, Woods, Pop
pelman and Kiernan. Woods probably
Is as good an all-around back as there
is In this section, and the long dashes
of Poppelman and Herman at various
times probably will be wished for more
than once Johnny Mitchell, former
back, shifted to right some time ago,
As the only other senior Maryland has
In its regular lineup.
X7IRGINIA is stalking its all on the
Nv outcome of its game with North
Carolina tomorrow at Charlottes-
kille. The Cavaliers have been build
ang all season with this game in view,
and or 10 Of the men who start to-
morrow will be playing their final for
Virginia The Old Dominion team has
had anything but good season, but
If it defeats the Tarheels it will ask
nothing more of 1882, as far as foot
ball is concerned.
The biggest thing that favors Virginia
Is the fact that it is playing on its
home field, with 10 days intervening
since its last game. while North Caro-
lima makes the trip to Charlottesville,
after a terrific 0-to-7 contest with
Duke last Saturday.
1t will be interesting to watch Wnat
happens tomorrow to the teams that
played hard games last SATURDAY Wnen
thrown against elevenS that have not
played for 10 days. North Carolina
is in that position, so is Oklahoma and
30 is Maryland.
IA MOTHER time-honored contest in
n Virginia is that between Virginia
Military Institute and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute at Roanoke. This
has been one of the South's major
Thanksgiving day struggles for many
years. v. P. I. seems to be by lar
the stronger eleven, although V. M. 1.
Tor some reason is not very pessimistic.
Another game in the same class with
ehese is to be played down in Mississippi
between Mississippi State and Mis-
sissippi University. There is no greater
rivalry than exists between these two
schools. The university this year ap-
parently has the better chance to win.
Other worthwhile games to be played
fn the South tomorrow are between
Vanderbilt and Alabama, North Caro-
lima State and South Carolina, Ten
bessee and Kentucky, Clemson and
Rurman.
Out on the Pacific Coast the most
important contest is that between
Southern California and University Of
Washington at Seattle. Texas A. and
M. and University of Texas in the
Southwest hook up in one of those
intense rivalry struggles, while in the
East Penn and Cornell do the same
thing. Greatest interest in the East
centers in the meeting of Colgate and
Brown, both undefeated. II Colgate
beats Brown 1t probably viii get an
snyitation to play In the Tournament
