1 Catholic University eleven
~ of the five Washington
schools to renew foot ball
warfare today on far-fung grid
irons was conceded better than
even chance to chalk up a vic
tory.
Catholic U. is the only band Of the
Districts helmeted horde to play on
home soil today. Action will begin at
2:3O o'clock in the Brookland Stadium.
Although the Holy Cross defeat
shelved many of the Cardinals regu-
lars to the sidelines with injuries, the
Brooklanders are not expected to en-
counter a great deal of trouble In st.
Johns of Annapolis and should WIN
despite the presence of only one varsity
veteran in the starting lineup.
Maryland, awaiting the whistle which
will send it against Tulane in New Or
leans, is faced with the toughest task,
albeit the task of American university
and Gallaudet is not much easier. The
EAGLES oppose Bridgewater College at
Bridgewater, Va. and the Blues Will en-
counter Washington College at Chester
town Md
GEORGETOWN, fifth of the local colleges
in action today, is rated only slight
underdog against Manhattan, WHICH
will be opposed in New YORK.
IF Catholic University's opening

~ left tackle, has been started un-
Ger varsity fire and masmuch as St.
.Iohn's boasts a veteran lineup this
state of affairs is expected to make the
Brookland game much more keenly con-
tested than would be expected. How.
ever Coach Dutch Bergman has several
classy PLAYERS numbered among his re-
serves and the Cards are favored 10 WIN;
Catholic University is the third local
team to oppose the eleven from tne
MARYLAND capital. The Johnnies were
whipped. 20 to o, by Maryland, put
turned around and administered oi-
tot pasting to Gallaudet last WeeA:
Five local boys and former Dstrict
scholastic performers are hSIeo aiiioiAe
the st. Johns starters.
A THOUGH Maryland's team IS one
n of its greenest in years, the Olo
L 4 liners are determined to make
fight against Tulane's Green wave.
Holding the Louisiana eleven to a low
ecora GOULD be a moral victory for the
Maryland's eleven, 27 strong, arrived
IN New Orleans last night ana WeHI

in good shape and is banking much OF
its hopes in the speed OF Earl WloIiye.,

AGAINST the other, except for injuries

capped by painful bruises ana spfaihs
Both teams took beating last time
out, Manhattan bowling to Oglethorpe,
to O, and Georgetown falling oeI0re
Canisius by the same score. Inc
othamites' record for the season Is
slightly better than that OF Georgetown
however, for they've defeated Ciarkson
and st. Bonaventure The Hilltoppers
only victory in their two starts was
scored at the expense of Mount ST.
Marys. :.
i,1ries is Mack Stanley, halfback ana
punter. With Stanley out, Capt. FREQ
Callahan, husky center, will DO the
kicking.
a MEXICAN UNIVERSITY and Gal

Bridgewater and Washington Col,

Blues may be in a position to record
couple of upsets
American. defeated last week by
Hampjen-Sydney, nevertheless is conf
dent of scoring ever Bridgewatar. which
bowed to the locals last year. The Vir-
ginians. however, have been installed
favorites chiefly because. with two eX-
ceptions. their 1882 eleven is intact.
while Americans is a much newer
team.
Washington College has no great
eleven, but Gallaudet's Blues are woe
fully green albeit spirited. The locals
are sure, though, to put up scrappy
panoa in ChestertOWn.
