w YITH three world series
M ball games here the last
y Y three days of this week,
local colleges should pat
themselves on the back and ex-
tend to themselves the warmest
kind of congratulations for not
having scheduled foot ball games
at home. All six elevens that
have their homes here are to play,
but all go to foreign fields, about
as lucky a break as any group OF
institutions have had in many a
day.
A foot ball game here this week end
would not be attractive enough to draw
sufficient gate receipts to pay the ticket
takers and officials, without considering
the guarantee for the visiting eleven.
So vacant would be the stands, on no
matter what field a game might take
place, that the contending elevens prob
ably would think they were holding a
practice session.
George Washington makes the long
est trip, to Grand Forks, N. Oak, to play
North Dakota. The Colonials will take
about two days to get there and the
same time to return, but nevertnelesS
expect to bring back the laurel wreath.
Coach Jim PiXlee thinks that ms men
hol a..
tawba to show what they are capable OF
doing and hopes they may keep up that
gait and even improve on 1t.
~ATHOIIC UNIVERSITY also takes
quite a jaunt, being due at Wor-
~ cester, Mass, Saturday after
noon for a tilt with Holy Cross, q game
that easily may be the best Of the day
tn the East.
Georgetown meets an always difficult
Canisius team at Buffalo, while Mary
land goes to Norfolk for another set-to
with Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
Gallaudet and American University
play their first games, the former with
st. Johns at Annapolis and the latter
with Hampden-Sydney, at Hampden-
Sydney. Because of their short practice
season, both Gallaudet and American
". WILL give W lllSu OPP0A1SAe9 q SAS
margin in development.
The four local colleges that played
fAst week set to work today, and will
continue to eradicate the faults that
showed up last week. Most OF the
coaches were fairly we'll satisfied with
what their teams accomplished, but only
because it was an opening game. All
realize that great strides must be made
in the next two or three weeks if they
are to make the best of their schedules.
ZIG Eastern colleges jump into the
h swim this week, both feet first, as
the saying goes. True, few OF
them play teams likely to offer them
much opposition, but they are games
of interest just the same. For instance,
Princeton meets Amherst, and Tiger
followers are anxious to get a line on
the eleven due to represent them this
Fall There is hardly any other school
in the East about which more kind
things have been said. Everybody seems
certain that Princeton will have great
team.
Harvard and Yale meet weak teams
and ought to win easily, the former
from Bates and the latter from Maine
Little Rhode Island State College took
Maine into camp, and in such game
there is little for Yale to do except get
as much practice as 1t can and score
as 1t feels 1t should.
Cornell entertains the University Of
Richmond eleven at Ithaca, and prob
ably will win as it pleases. It is said
there Is better material at Cornell this
year for foot ball team than has been
there in any other season Dobie has
coached the big Red aggregation.
Dartmouth may get a battle from
Vermont although under ordinary cir
easily. However, it seems that Vermont
has team this year far better than
its average.
Columbia has a game with Lehigh,
Syracuse plays ClarkSon, while Colgate
meets st. Lawrence All the first men
toned schools ought to come out with
flying colors.
COMETHING Of Washington and
- Lees strength, as shown in a tie
guaged this week after Pittsburgh
plays West Virginia. The Generals held
West Virginia to tie score and will
be anxious to learn If West Virginia
can do the same thing against Pitts
burgh.
If West Virginia measures up, this
will be the second consecutive week
in which Pitt will have attained vic
tory only after the most difficult on
slaught. Let West Virginia battle Pitt
to standstill and it should speak a
good piece for Washington and Lee.
Army and Navy again play two
Southern elevens. the former being
scheduled to entertain the Virginia
Military Institute and the latter Mer-
Ger University Unless the Lexingto-
mans take big brace they are likely to
get soundly whipped. Army defeated
Mercer last week 19 to 0 and the game
Saturday between Navy and Mercer
may give line on the service elevens.
