For the remainder of the season
George Washington has only two more
games. Tulsa University Friday night
and Kansas December 2, and even the
other local colleges and universities, as
well as the Colonial partisans and pub
lie generally, should pull for it to
come through with colorS flying. And
to attain victories in these two games
will not be easy, as both Tulsa and
Kansas are worthy opponents.
The record Of the season so far is
sufficient to prove that George Wash
ington has the best foot ball team on
local fields. The only other school that
stood chance to measure up to 1t Is
Catholic University, but right now there
is hardly anybody who would concede
the Brooklanders to be as good as the
Colonials. George Washington has
achieved better results, came through
Friday night in a crucial contest, and
auparently is in shape to put up great
battles against its remaining strong OPP
moments. On the other hand, Catholic
University has failed in its two biggest
tests.
s for Georgetown and Maryland,
y both George washington and
Catholic University have been way
ahead of them all year. Neither Ine
blue and Gray nor the Black ana Golo
has done anything that would IN the
slightest degree entitle them 10 IaVorapLe ~.
cornnarison to G. w. and C. o., and in
fine grind down the seasons stre1ch
a w. has forged ahead OF G: u.
This weeks foes do not hold 1ortn
anv olive branches for the local schools
and are not likely to give Georgetown
and q u any very great opportunities
IN improve their positions. George
town, unless it achieves compiete
overturn of everything that indicates
comparative strength in foot ball. Is
nretfv sure to go down before Carnegie
Tech and c. u. may have plenty OF
trouble against Manhattan up at Brock
lyn. if the latter plays as desperately
as it did against Holy Cross last Wees
Catholic u, though, seems TO stano an
even chance to beat the MannattanrteS'
MARYLAND will meet team In Hop
bins much weaker than it has been
,,iayinr against. but team that usually
digs its toes in the ground and battles
for every inch. The Maryland-H Hopkins
game is one of the oldest rivalries In
the South, dating back to 1892.
Whatever honors are to be won TINS
week. though, seem to depend on
George washington. A victory Ior ~
over Tulsa should show that foot ball
in the Nations Capital still goes on,
even II some of the teams have fallen
by the wayside.
UUST as was feared by Catholic Uni
versity. it was not able to stop the
- Detroit passes. The Brooklanders
could not match in ground gaining the
] wonderfully accurate passing OF Mott.
The result was not a surprise, although
it was considered possible that G. U.
might hold the Middle Westerners to
two or three touchdowns. The only
chance that C. U. had was to catch
Detroit somewhat of color and play
an inspired game.
Somebody remarked jocularly just
after the Maryland-Duke game Satur-
day that there were two mighty good
foot ball teams out there today, ana
both of them belonged to Duke" And
that was not far from the truth. Duke
did have two good teams, with Whlch II
alternated. Against that set-up, with
a younger and comparatively inexperi-
enced eleven, Maryland simply was out
classed. Duke has two more games
North Carolina and North Carolina
State-and it should win both. 1t IS
toe good for any other eleven in this
section.
ONLY Princeton, of the big tri-
,fmyirate of old-time foot ball,
Harvard and Yale being the other
two, seems able to go along Saturday
after Saturday meeting all corners with
victorious results Last week 1t was
Dartmouth that fell before the might
of the Tiger, and irrespective of what
may be the final score, there is hardly
anybody who. now would not give this
reiuvenated, Srampaging king Of the
jungle the margin over the best the
Bulldog has to offer Princeton may
good it will Things have net been so
favorable for Princeton for Yale game
for years.
" VIRGINIA lost heart-breaker to
" Washington and Lee. 1t held
the Generals safely after the
first few minutes and seemed to have
nothing worse in store for it than
, O-to-0 tie. However, in the last few
minutes of the fourth quarter Virginia
punted from midfield to Washington
and Lees 15-yard line. That made it
appear that Virginia would keep Wash

goal line for the remainder of the
game However, the unexpected hap
pened, and Sawyers, who caught that
punt. juggled it, then held it, and
started on a run up the field. He
lodged his way through the whole Vir-
ginia team for the rs yards between
him and the Virginia goal to score the
only touchdown of the game Wash
ington and Lee still has its record clear
