G. W.-TuIsa Clash Friday
One of High Spots-G. U.
Faces Tough Task.
BY H. C. BYRD.

TOOT BALL for local colleges,
r. as far as 1888 is concerned,
4 is almost at an end. George
Washington, Georgetown,
Catholic University and Maryland
have only a little further to go
before they lay away their uni
forms until another September,
while Gallaudet plays its final tilt
this week.
George Washington has only two
more games, the first with Tulsa Friday
night and the second with Kansas De-
cember 2, both in the Clark Grifith
Stadium. Georgetown meets Carnegie
Tech Saturday and West Virginia the
following Saturday In what remains OF
its schedule. Catholic University has
Manhattan this week and South Da-
kota next week, while Maryland visits
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore Saturday,
plays its homecoming game with Wash
ington and Lee next week and finishes
with Florida at Tampa on December 2.
Most interesting OF these games. at
least of those scheduled this week,
should be the one between George
Washington and Tulsa. In the first
place, the Colonials have never beaten
the Oklahoma outfit and they think
they have a fair chance to turn the
trick this time Besides that, the game
should be closely contested, with every
prospect Of fine struggle.
Colonials Eager to Win.
FORGE WASHINGTON meets in
Tulsa one of the most difficult
teams in the Midwest section.
That the Colonials have never been
able to take the measure Of that eleven
shows how consistently strong it is. The
local team always has had difnculty
stopping the spread formation plays
Tulsa uses and it will be remembered
that two years ago two Tulsa backs ran
wild at times on sweeps and cutbacks
from this formation.
In both its remaining games George
Washington will have plenty Of trouble
Kansas also is sure to offer opposition
OF the kind that takes the best out of
even the strongest opponents. While
they have only two more games to go
before their wind-up. the Colonials
certainly have plenty to think about
end to plan for.
Hoyas Up Against II.
- EoRGETowNs game with Car
NJ negie Tech Saturday Is unlikely to
develop very much for the local
school Unless a complete reversal Of
form takes place in both elevens, the
Blue and Gray may find 1t very difficult
to hold the visitors to fair score West
Virginia also should be favored to beat
the Blue and Gray when it comes here
to play the final on the Blue and Gray
schedule.
No doubt Georgetown has had one of
the worst seasons in its history, sea-
son in which it has not only lost games,
but in which it has hardly got break.
In one or two contests the Blue and
Gray has dominated the field. as one
Blue and Gray supporter expressed it
last night, in everything except points
scored.
However, not word has come from
Georgetown in condemnation of the
team or in criticism of its failure to
win games. Georgetown has a policy
that goes far beyond the winning of
foot ball game or success in single
season on the gridiron, and it viii rise
again to brilliant achievements:
Cards Given Even Chance.
~ATHoLIC UNIVERSITY is of the
opinion it has about an even
chance against Manhattan Sat
urday at New York, although the latter
possibly is in better condition.
The Brooklanders. If they can win
their last two contests, Manhattan and
South Dakota State, will feel that they.
have had a highly successful season.
even II they have dropped. games to
Holy Cross and Detroit @t
The Brooklanders are especially de-
sirous of winning from South Dakota
State because that Is to be their home
coming, and victory then will enable
them to close the season with good
taste in the mouth of everybody.
Old Liners Play Old Foe.
n FARYLAND goes over to Baltimore
NI Saturday to face Johns Hopkins
in game that dates back 40
years. Neither team has accomplished
much this year, as far as victories are
concerned, but there is the same old
interest in the same crowd that has at
tended the contest year after year. No
matter what the record OF the teams.
1t seems that good many Maryland
people like to see them play. Hopkins
Is said to have a much better back
field than Maryland, while the Mary
land line is rated Just bit higher than
the Hopkins forwards. The teams ap-
parently are more evenly matched this
year than they have been since 1927,
when Hopkins won IA to Is.
Next week Maryland has its home
coming game with Washington and
Lee. and If it can win from Hopkins
Saturday should stand pretty close to
an even chance to beat the Generals.
Washington and Lee has not defeated
Maryland since 1927. and at one of its
alumni meetings last Fall resolution
was passed to be sent to the team to
request that Maryland. Of all its op-
ponents. be whipped. Maryland's game
at Florida will find the Old Liners the
underdog again. but not so much as
might be thought
When the season Is finished it win
have a retrospect not much different
from what was suggested In September
might happen. George Washington and
Catholic University have been the two
teams to carry on. while Georgetown
and Maryland have Jagged far behind
Gallaudet is finishing its season with
another poor record. while American
University, with very little material
decided 1t would not be good policy ID
