OcdOit last week trimmed Holy cross
"a to and Holy Cross beat Catholic U.
oeclslvely. No better comparison could
be given to show the kind of opposition
the Brooklanders must face when they
hne up against the men from the Mich
igan city Saturday afternoon.
Washington and jefferson was de-
feated by Duquesne last week decisiveIy,
but hardly showed its true worth. In
all its games this season, except that
with Duquesne, the little college of the
presidents has been a stumbling block.
To state that Duke University whip
ped Tennessee is all that should be
necessary to indicate the power of that
eleven. Duke, with the possible excep-
tion OF Georgia, apparently Is the
strongest eleven in the whole South.
n HUCH will be written Of these
VI three teams before the week Is
ended. but it Is doubtful If any
thing that may be written will do them
full credit Washington and Jefferson,
for instance, little college of something
like 300 students, is playing through
series OF games against some Of the
toughest teams in the country and has
been giving them all q battle
Detroit to whip team like Holy Cross
so decisiyely deserves q tribute that is
not likely to be given by anybody who
did not see the game played
Duke, with many rivals aiming at its
record, has gone calmly along its trium-
phant way from the day it played its
first game, and remains one Of the
country's very few undefeated teams
A thought of Tennessee's play here last
week and the remembrance that Duke
IN Arryr rlaY-
Just how good that Durham eleven
really is.
CATHoLIC UNIVERSITY and
Maryland will start their games as
underdogs, without any question,
while George Washington should have
an even chance, at least. However, both
G. U. and Maryland should almost be
able to see with closed eyes about as
wonderful opportunities to upset things
and to achieve triumphs for themselves
as ever are offered.
And both Catholic University and
Maryland are playing good enough foot
ball to take advantage Of these oppor-
tunities If they get some Of the breaks
However. in all three contests chief
general interest probably will center in
the visiting elevens. The local schools
viii have their hackers, but the majority
of the crowds are likely to be present
because of their desire to see what rep
resents about the highest type of foot
ball played in three separate sections of
the country.
TN THEIR last weeks games Catholic
University won the easy victory 1t
expected, Georgetown was whipped
- ~..-I- AIx-w
or It's supporters thought possible, while
George Washington and Maryland we're
defeated In games Of which they need
not In the least feel ashamed.
Tennessee may defeat any opponent
at any time, while Virginia Is playing
harder and better foot ball than any
other Virginia team In the last is years.
This chap Feathers, Tennessee half
back, lived up to his reputation as a
punter, proving that the statement he
Is the country's best booter was not
without plenty Of background by aver
aging approximately 56 yards with his
kicks against George Washington. It
was long punt by him which gave
Tennessee the break in the second
quarter and 1t was his brilliant punt
ing which pulled his team out Of prac-
tically every defensive pinch IN which
it, found itself.
VERYBODY thought that Brown
r. had pretty good foot ball team
until it ran up against Prince
ton Saturday, then what happened to
Brown was more than enough. The
Tigers gave the Brlmonians such a
trimming as is almost unknown to the
Providence folk
The first quarter was scoreless. but
after that it was a Princeton parade
until SO points were run up. No other
Princeton eleven in years has achieved
such a decisive victory over what un-
doubtedly was considered major op-
ponent.
Hardly any foot ball man in the
East expected Tulane to beat Colgate,
but probably. opinions were expressed
without due knowledge of the potential
strength OF the New Orleans eleven.
Tulane has enough power and a suff-
GENTLY versatile and clever backfleld to
stand a chance to win any game it
plays.
