L. lap of their foot ball sched-
ules without any special
reasons to be overly optimistic.
All meet difficult opposition, with
not one ruling a decided favoTlte.
George Wash ngeon ami Georgetown
in facing Tulsa Ul4VeIS..y ana Ca-nc84e
Tech have woTk cut cut 1or them Wnlch
the former may not BE- able to co and
the latter most Cer.a.nIy no.. Cath
Ole University has an even chance
against Manhattan, but probably not
any better than that, while Maryland,
rated around Baltimore a slight favorite
for its contest with Hopkins, Is meeting
an old rival which realizes it has the
best chance 1t has had in years. Gal
laudet may whip Shepherd College, but
1t surely will not figure in the favored
class prior to the game.
TN THE Tulsa team George Wash
ington faces q combination of hard
running and clever backs who also
are said to be accurate with forward
passing Behind a line such as is said
to represent the Oklahoma school, that
presents an exceedingly difficult combi-
nation to stop. In three years of play
against Tulsa, George Washington has
not one victory to its credit The other
three games have been victories for the
Middle Westerners
Probably George Washington has as
good chance to win tonight as it ever
has had, The Colonials have a big,
powerful squad with some exceptional
backs. They whipped Washington and
pie expected them to, ana this NAV be
the occasion when they will break into
the win column against Tulsa. No
doubt, though, in order to do this. the
Colonials Will have to stop one of the
most varied ofTenses they have faced
this year and gain ground consistently
against team that for Drawn and ex-
perIence probably will be able to match
them man for man.
1t Is hard TO see anything in store
Tor Georgetown other tnan defeat. If
the Blue and Gray wins from Carnegie
Tech it will be achieving a triumph that
NOBODY expects. For Georgetown to
beat the Plaid would mean almost a
complete reversal of the form displayed
Dy the two teams in their games so far
and that usually does not happen.
GEORGETOWN may win, but the
I chances are it will not. If it holds
Carnegie 10 low score it will do
Al fhat should be expected, and then
some
that, as usual, will be all keyed I'D for
this particular contest Whether or not
the Old Liners go into the game with
proper spirit should in large measure
determine the result. Around Baltimore
the papers and people generally are
picking Maryland to win by a close
score but giving Hopkins the best
chance it has had since 1927, when it
won, IA to Is.
Catholic University beat Manhattan
last year and the year before, and hopes
to repeat, but also realizes that it is
likely to face stronger Manhattan
than in either Of the other two years
The BrooklanderS leave here at
O'Clock. They plan to get short work
out this morning and do nothing more
until game time
Gallaudet IN its final game has the
good wishes Of everybody The Kendall
Greeners have fought through a dis
couraging season. yet still have an un-
tagging courage. Such group deserves
all the good that can come to them
and If they can attain victory over
Shepherd College it will be well de-
served.
VKTHILE every local eleven plays to-
Wv morrow, two Of them here, it is
pretty near the truth to say
there Is almost as much local interest
in the Princeton-Navy game as in any
one of those in which local eievens are
to take part. In the first place there
are many Princetonians in washington
and the Navy also has tremendous
following. Furthermore no inconsider-
able amount of general public interest
Is noted, because Princeton's fine record
has excited great comment. even more
than Arn1Es, and for both Princeton
and Navy# #tomorrow's game is looked
upon somewhat as supreme test. For
Princeton this is true because many
skeptical ones do not accept as fact that
Princeton is as strong as it Is rated, or
as IL has seemed to be by it's string Of
victories, and holds that it must whip
Navy to really establish itself in the
greatness claimed for it. Navy people
see the game as a final test Of what
they may expect to do against Army.
II Navy were to win. Navy hopes for
the Army game would run high, but If
Navy loses then few should think other
than that this is another Army year
Another thing, good MANY Yale people
in washington will watch the Princeton
team with very real interest because
Of the comparison they may draw for
the Princeton-Yale game two weeks
from tomorrow To some people in
MARYLAND and the District Of Columbia
this PTtnceton-NaVY game is ABOUT Inc
most interesting thing in this weeks

n Oregon State defeats Fordhsm the
resultant comparison Of Eastern with
Far western foot ball will suffer. Il
Fordham Is victor 1t will be boost FOL
the Eastern brand Oregon State held
Southern California to a tie. but wa:
defeated by oregon. Some think tff
tie with Southern California was un-
usual and that oregon State is not
that good. but that should be deter
mined largely by tomorrow's game be-
tween Southern California and Oregon
YEBRASKA'S game with Pittsburgh
IN in many respects is the most i'm
poYtant that university has played
this year Undoubtedly It's final rank,
ing depends a good deal on the result
and also the stellar rating Of two o.

as great a back as he IS reputed to be

chances for an all-America berth. II
