After today, a few games next
week, and the Rose Bowl. Out
side of that. the 1884 football sea,
son is finished.
Less than IS games involving
so-called major elevens are sched'
uled today.
In the East, Army and Navy
clash in their annual classic
which started in 1890; Boston
College and Holy Cross meet in
their perennial; and Georgetown
and Western Maryland meet in
Baltimore Stadium.
1t became known today Western
Maryland, topheavy favorite to de-
feat Georgetown, is considering
three invitations to play post-sea.
son games. Two of the three in.
VitationS come from Florida. Uni
verSlty of Tampa would tackle the
Green Terrors as would University
Of Miami. The third bid comes
from Birmingham-Southern, one
of the undefeated teams in the
country and conqueror of Auburn
in an early season tilt.
The Green Terrors may accept
one or more of the invitations.
T o days GeorgetoWn.W Western
Maryland eleven has created much
local interest. Despite the gen.
eral opinion Western Maryland
will win handily, the Hoyas figure
they have an excellent chance to
win.
Everything to Gain
Georgetown's thought is it has
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. AS a result, the Hoyas will
undertake the gambling type of
football, which generally makes
Tor a great game insofar as the
spectator is concerned.
AS for the Green Terrors. they
have promised if the field is dry,
which it probably won't be, they
will cut loose with all they have
IN the way of overheads.
Georgetown, argues Western
Maryland, has a heavy team and
a line which will permit few lib
critics. What more natural than
to toss forward and lateral passes?
The answer may be found in the
suggestion Western Maryland just
give one Bill Shepherd the ball.
The Terrors certainly are equip
ped to go to the overhead game.
They have Bill Shepherd and
Bomber" Schweiker, two great
passerS.
No less than II of Western
Maryland's squad will be playing
their last game of the regular
season.
Western Maryland probably will
start with Shepherd and Fergu.
son at the halves, Schweiker at
full, Lipsky at center, Bernie Kap-
Ian and Campofreda at the
guards, Lucas and Horse" Kap'
Ian at the tackles and Blissmar
and Gorski on the flanks. This
combination gives the Green Ter
rors their greatest strength since
the st. Thomas game of several
weeks back.
NO IDEA OF CROWD
Whether the Georgetown-W West
ern Maryland game will draw a
big crowd remains to be seen.
Had the Hoyas won over Mary
land a week ago, undoubtedly
quite a sizeable gathering would
have been on hand today to see
the fireworks. But then, George
town lost to Maryland, and mod
ern football patrons being what
they are, it is best for all con-
cerned to count admissions after
the game rather than this early
before kickoff.
Georgetown's main hopes are
pinned on the hope Joe Saverlne'
brilliant leader of the Hoyas, will
be able to take the field against
Western Maryland. With Saverine
in the game, there is no telling.
However, many figure his knee in
jury will keep him out.
More than a little interest at
taches to the final college appear
ance in this section of Bill Shep-
herd. hailed by numerous critics
as of All-America caliber.
Other favoriteS than Western
Maryland for today's games are
Army, Rice. Holy Cross, Washing
ton State, Florida, Georgia, LoulSl'
ana State, Mississippi, Washing
ton, Xavier and Duket
