elevens will be engaging in con-
tests which, while not surrounded
with such historic interest, should
produce standards of competition
that in most other respects
should measure we'll up to those
of more widely publicized con-
tests.
Catholic University and Du-
quesne, Georgetown and Bucknell
which are to play here, especially
should be games we'll worth
watching, and have in them all
lthe elements that give foot ball
Hts sensational touches. Washing
ton and Lee and Maryland, al
though both below their standard
of last season, ought to engage
in a spirited struggle and SO
should Gallaudet and Shepherd
College. Although the last men
toned will not be game in
which the players are as capable
as those composing the other
teams, comparatively speaking, 1t
should be just as hard played.
First on the list of games for local
schools comes Catholic University and
Duquesne tonight. The Brooklanders
are set to meet a doughty foe. and If
they win 1t will be only after the most
desperate kind of struggle. At least,
that is the opinion Of the men who have
watched both teams play. Duquesne
scouts say there is very little difference
between the teams, and Catholic Uni
versity men who saw Duquesne have the
same opinion.
IT expect one of the hardest games
we have had this year." said Coach
Dutch Bergman of Catholic University
this morning. 'Duquesne, If under
stand rightly, Is little better than 1t
was last year, and so are we. That in
dfeates a better game than was played
in Pittsburgh, when we won by a mar
row margin, and one just as hard. And
don't forget that the game last year
was hard enough. However, We are in
better shape physically than we have
been for some time, and am looking
for Just as difficult game as we had
to play at Holy Cross. We will have to
play better foot ball than we played up
there to come out on top"
TSEORGETOWN is banking its hopes
~ fer a turnabout in its fortunes
against Bucknell on the apparently
improved play of its line. The forwards
lave come rapidly in the last few days.
sad Coach Hagerty is beginning to show
some signs of encouragement for the
first time since he has been in charge.
However, Georgetown is not fooling
Itself one bit about the$kind of team
1t will meet. Bucknell usually has about
as good foot ball material as any other
eleven in the East and while 1t seems
to be a little of color this season, it is
in no wise an easy aggregation to over
come. 1t has defeated Western Mary
land for one thing. which won from
Georgetown here early in the year.
Georgetown will have to play better foot
ball than it has shown in any previous
game if it is to come through against
the Bisons.
In PARCELS and Bradley Georgetown
has two really brilliant backs, men who
compare with backs on any other team.
II the line reaches the point tomorrow
where it can give these men chance
to get started, they should gain good
deal Of ground.
sFHE statistics7of the Bucknell eleven
l. show pretty clearly the kind OF
squad Georgetown will face. One
back, jenkins, weighs only $50 pounds
two or three other backs weigh ITO
each, but the remainder OF the squad
runs anywhere from ITO to 240. 1r
fact, a good many Of the linemen &c
over the double century mark. Besides
Ruch, the tackle who weighs 240, Phil
lips, a guard, weighs 225 Ray, a tackle
21o, and several of the other linemer
range from 200 to 2l0. incidentally
there are six backs on the squad whit
tip the scales at more than 180 pounds
In other words, Bucknell is bringing
here a foot ball team that, as far as
physical material Is concerned, need
take second place nowhere. And this
material undoubtedly will be vel
coached, as Carl Snavely has been turn
ing out consistently good teams al
Bucknell for years.
CALLAUDET plays its last game to-
~ morrow with Shepherd College
The Kendall Green eleven has not
scored touchdown this season. To &C
little further, it has yet to score a
point, and one thing the team is hoping
for, even If it cannot win. is that this
record for no scoring may be broken
Few times in the history Of foot bal
have teams gone through season with
out scoring point.
Maryland leaves early this Afternoon
for Lexington, where it is to oppose
Washington and Lee tomorrow. Tht
Old Liners are in fairly good physica
condition, and should enter the game
with an even chance. The team prob
ably will start, about as it has startet
its recent games, with the possibility o
one shift in the line.
The series between Washington anc
Lee and Maryland is of recent origin
They have played seven games, anc
washington and Lee has won four. Tht
Generals took the first four contests anc
Maryland the last three.
HALE and Harvard lead the list o

There seems to have been lot G

astrously for Yale. However, the Yale
