away their suits until next year.
1t is unlikely that either George
Washington or Maryland will do any
thing much in the way Of hard work,
although George Washington may need
something along that line. as it did
not play last week. As far as Mary
land is concerned, though, with long
trip ahead of it, not much more is
likely to be done than enough to keep
the team on edge.
That the ColoniaL and Old Liners
ere due to run up against real oppo-
sition Is indicated by the records of
their opponents. Kansas has played
good foot ball all year and should be
a worthy opponent on any field. Con-
sideration of just two of Florida's games
is enough to show the kind Of team
it has, as it was barely nosed out by
Tennessee and defeated Auburn.

Maryland came out Of its contest with
Washington and Lee without scratch,
figurativelv speaking and is not likely
to do much more rough work. 1t Is un-
usual, indeed, for any squad to 80

not SO. as in the closing minutes OF
the fourth quarter West virginia reused
itself into a scoring rally that carried
across two touchdownS. while George
town was getting another. West V1r-
Tinia kicked both its goals and that was
the margin by which the fates let the
