EORGE WASHINGTON and Van
7 derbilt are slated to do battle
with very much of the same
kind of offensive weapons. unless one
or the other has made radical changes
in what it has been using the last
several years. Both will feature short
kick formations, with plenty Of pass
ing, and both have big heavy lines
behind which they hope to mask
heavy attacks. It seems to be some
thing Of a case of which team better
can stand the gaff.
George Washington hopes to beat
Vanderbilt. In fact, almost, it has
got to whip the Commodores to pro-
tect its game of next week with
Louisiana State University. If the
Colonials trim Vanderbilt by a fair
count, the contest with the Baton
Rouge school will loom up as the
greatest George Washington ever has
played. If they fail to beat Wander
bilt, Louisiana State will seem too
strong for the local eleven and the
prospect of really great struggle be
dissipated
1t Is likely that the Colonials will go
into this game with Vandy with
greater vim and determination than
they have played any game in years.
They want to win and make no secret
of that desire.
Generally George Washington is in
good shape for the game. One or two
men apparently are on the shelf. as
far as Vanderbilt is concerned, but, as
q whole, the squad seems to be ready
for any kind of a struggle and fully
able to hold its own.

Panthers look better and better each

vote for Pitt.

Ter and Lindberg, two of the
years best backs. Illinois, with better
reserves, playing at home, gets the
call in a game that has drawn
zuppke's complete attention after last
seasons defeat.
Harvard-Princeton - Harvard, on
form, doesn't rate within two or three
touchdowns Of this 1884 Tiger team.
Princeton has the better line, the
faster, harder running backs; the
greater all-around speed and power
and the greater experience. This
should be quite enough.
Yale le-Dartm0uth-After some
50 years Of waiting, Dartmouth
At last has her chance to crack
the Blue hoodoo. The Green
line shapes up with more
strength, and this should tell
the story of the first foot ball
game Dartmouth ever won from
Yale.
Pittsburgh-Notr Dame-One of the
hardest, closest battles Of the waning
Autumn. Pittsburgh stands among
the best teams in the country. Notre
Dame has been gathering smoothness
week by week. Both backfields are full
of talent, but Pitt has bare shade in
the line. There will be no upset, who-
ever wins, but Pitt carries the nod.

far enough to stop Minnesota's maui

Fordham Tennessee - These are
stormy days for the Fordham ram. In
the wake Of st. Mary's and Southern
Methodist, Tennessee is coming with
one of the best teams in the South.
The Fordham defense will have to
break up hard-running, fast-passing
attack. Tennessee draws the verdict.
Chicago Purdue - Chicago's
hardest test to date, with an un-
beaten record in grave danger.
Chicago has Berwanger, but
Perdue has Purvis and Carter.
This is one Of the days toughest
picks, but Chicago draws the
nomination by half flip.
California Santa Clara-One of the

California carries more power-Santa

So speak in unison
coaches of the four big local college
foot ball teams that tomorrow go into
some of the most difficult contests
they have this season, George WASH
ington against Vanderbilt, Catholic
University with Western Maryland,
Maryland and Virginia. Georgetown
and Richmond.
And what the coaches say is true.
This afternoon they give few final
instructions as to defense and of1ense,
let their men take some warming-up
drills, but what has not already been
taught the squads is not likely to be
between now and game time tomor-
row. The situation is in the hands
Of the men who make up the teams,
and on their shoulders rests the
burden.
Coaches have labored all week to
give their squads a full knowledge of
what to expect in the way OF oftense
by opposing teams, have worked hard
TO drive home the type Of play that
ought to 60 best against the par
ticular defense to which each team
will be opposed, but, for all they have
done, they are more or less nelpless
from now on. When the battle actu-
ally begins and the thick of the
fighting is at hand, it is the soldiers
that must win and not the generals.
The generals may get lot OF credit
for victory if victory is won, but
without the fighting heart OF the
ranks the generals would be helpless.
And no general is more helpless
under any conditions than the foot
ball coach feels when he sees his men
take the field. The team is the
coach's product, but the coach can
do little to help once the whistle blows
and the game is under way.
If George Washington, Georgetown,
Catholic University and Maryland are
not well equipped to meet foes Of to-
morrow it ha~d'r will be the coaches
fault. Painst care to drive home
what they conS.uer to be the essential
features of tomorrow's game has been
the sole aim of coaches all week, and
undoubtedly they have done their
Jobs well.
It's up to the teams.

that If they could catch punts tossed
