the Colonial supporters as wonder

New Wilmington, Pa, 1t Is unlikely that
difficulties Of any serious proportions
are likely to be encountered. but the
game should be interesting anyway, just
because the George Washington team
itself is interesting.
Eight regulars of last year and nine

AfARYLAND'S squad. with the uni

supporters. leaves tomorrow morn
ing from Union Station on special
train The Old Liners are taking their
entire varsity squad to Charlottesville
as they are looking for nothing more
nor less than the hardest game they are
to play this year, with the possible
exception Of that with Vanderbilt.
Maryland probably will show greater
Improvement as the season progresses
than other local elevens, for the simple
reason that it did not have the ad-
vantage Of Spring practice, a big help
for early season games, and that 1t
starts with less.
If MARYLAND can get by its game with
Virginia the confidence gained thereby
should be invaluable especially to its
green line. However, the Old Liners
know that they are up against their
most difficult test Of the year and are
not minimizing their difficulties in the
least Nobody can predict what kind

sufficient to meet the test Of big,

be foretold, but it is good enough to
insure a steady improvement through
out the year. Under any conditions,
Maryland is the one local eleven that
has plenty to think about for tomor-

Alabama should win about as 1t
pleases, while Virginia Polytechnic In

VALE, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsyl

schedules tomorrow All have games
with schools which should prove any
thing but difficult, although PennSyl
vania may have more trouble with
Franklin and Marshall than the others
do with their opponents.
Yale meets Bates. never good enough
to do more than give Yale good work
out; Princeton has Amherst as its guest
and should run up Sizable score.
Penn State against Lebanon Valley may
find itself with mansized job on its
hands.
Harvard hardly can anticipate any,
thing but walkover when it looks back
to last weeks game, in which Cornell
smeared It's opponent, Buffalo Uni
versity, ~ touchdown after touchdown.
WHAT gives every indication of being
w the sternest struggle in the South
is the meeting at Chapel Hill of
Vanderbilt and North Carolina. VAN
derbilt Is fairly certain to win, and
may win up a 1opSided score, but if
North Carolina plays UP to its standard
of recent years the game should be
about the best Of the day.
Colgate, Cornell and Syracuse, with
Case, Niagara and St. Lawrence as their
opponents, have ahead Of them the
same kind OF games they played last
week, games they should win by big
counts.
WHETHER or not Georgia Tech is

this year than last eS its fol-
lowers have claimed, may be known aft

Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech coach,

can get by the Clemson game"
By which it may be judged that Alex

game, might prove a bit hard.
nut in the Middle West. among
~ Western Conference elevcns. North
western end Michigan appear to
have the hardest games. The former
meets University Of Missouri ard the
latter Michigan State College. Mis-
rouri is not an opponent to be taken
lightly. even by school that for the
last few years has attained the stand
ard of foot ball held by Northwestern.
Michigan State also has been proving
worthy opponent for all corners, and
it would rather win from University OF
Michigan than from all its other op-
ponents. Such combination may not
be easy for Fielding Yost's team.
Incidentally, Purdue may not have
things so easy In its game with Kansas
State College.
