Classy Eleven
Washington will go many day
at least until Tennessee comes
here on November 4-before see
ing such an outstanding eleven
, as Auburn. This years team rep.
resenting Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, better known as Au.
burn, is coached by Chet Wynne,
one of Notre Danes greatest
players. 1t carries in its bag the
spectacular, the sensational 1t
offers in "Firpo" Phips, backfield
ace, one of Americas most color
full players. In "Gump" Ariail it
offers a man of All-America
caliber. Other stars are with
Auburn.
G. w. is expected to play in
spired football this afternoon.
When the Colonials do that, there
is not a more colorful aggrega-
tion in America. Football psychol-
ogy favors G.. w., and this fea-
ture will increase the size of to-
days crowd. Advance sales in
dicates that more than $4,000 will
see the game.
Action Certain
Certainly, the Auburn-George
Washington battle looms as a
"big" game in every sense of the
word. 1t epitomizes the spirit
of the day in football, in that
it is promised as a battle every
step of the way. and in that it
is sure to be marked by spec
tacular and sensational offensive
measures which delight the mill
run of grid spectator.
The Georgetown-WeSt Mary.
land game has taken on added
Importance since Georgetown held
powerful Manhattan to 20-to-20
tie last Saturday. The Hoyas ap-
pear to have found themselves
under the tutelage of &c. U.
Jack" Hagerty. and followers Of
the Hoyas expect great things Of
the HoyaS from now until the
end of the season.
Western Maryland, under the
able and outstanding coach, Dick
Harlow, one of Americas best, is
expected to battle it out to the
very end of today'S game in Balti-
more. The Green Terrors, ever q
thorn in the side of the Hoyas,
are ready for this game as West
ern Maryland eleven never before
has been. The cry of the Terrors
is: watch our Bill Shepherd go
today"
University of Maryland and V.
M. l., each with team just COM
ing into it's own, should offer q
regular battle-royal. Maryland
seems to hold an edge, but the
Keydets are dangerous. v. M. rs
line may decide the issue in favor
of the Cadets, although Maryland
has a flock of green youngsters
who have shown remarkable
ability each succeeding day over
a period of two weeks. This game
appears to be a battle of lines.
Close Contests
Navy entertains University of
Virginia today. The Cavaliers
think so much of their chances Of
victory that the university has de-
clared a holiday and about 1,500
Virginia students will accompany
the team as it invades Annapolis.
Navy, in rather a bad humor
after last weeks lacing at the
hands of strong and versatile
Pittsburgh, promises the visiting
host a trying afternoon on the
gridiron.
The Navy-Virginia game stacks
up as one of the best of the day.
Virginia proved that it has the
stuff in last Saturdays battle
against Columbia, which the cav
alters very nearly won.
Tight games appear the rule to-
day rather than the exception.
From one end of the land to the
other crowds will trek their re-
SpectlVe ways into Stadla, 1lrmly
convinced that today's games will
be among the best offered all
season long.
Hard Fight Looms
It is freely predicted, by those
who should know, that today's
battle in Griffith Stadium will
prove one of the greatest of many
interesting games.
G. w. has completed special
defense designed to stop Auburn's
admittedly great attack. Incl
dentally, the Plainsmen are load
ed down with deceptive plays and
speed.
Sentiment favors G.. w., but
those who permit head rather
than heart to form the basis for
their forecasts are inclined to feel
that Auburn will win.
