c. U. and Maryland in lust

Four" in collegiate foot ball
will have their mettle tested
tomorrow in games that should
give true line on what may be ex-
pected for the rest of the campaign.
George Washington, in meeting the
Alabama Rose Bowl champions at
Griffith Stadium, heads the list Of
the trio Of attractive battles, but the
Catholic U.-La Sale clash at Brook
land and the Maryland Virginia Tech
struggle in the Baltimore Stadium
doubtless will be just as hard fought.
All of the game start at 2:30, and
the followers of each team, plus
oodles Of just plain fans, will be on
hand with critical eye"
ColoniaIs Are Confident.
GEORGE WASHINGTON is optimis-
tic over its outlook in the Ala
bama battle. The Colonials, from
Jim Pixlee down to the East Indian
water boy, Kadiak Sampath, have
confidence Of the sort that implies
a team is keyed to its greatest fight
ing pitch.
Wen carry the fight to them all
the way if possible" said Pixlee. Yes.
Alabama is plenty big, fast and strong,
but not so much that they can't be
beaten" he said following a glimpse
of the Red Elephants who arrived
this morning.
Alabama, impressive and eager,
too. was given rousing welcome at
noon shortly after arrival at Union
station. The District Commissioners
presented the Tidesmen a key to the
city in a public ceremony on the E
street steps Of the District Building.
The invaders appeared in excellent
physical condition with the lone ex-
ception Of big Riley Smith, 1885,
pound quarterback and blocking star,
VINO l1mped somewhat as a result Of
a knee injury sustained three weeks
ago.
After establishing headquarters at
the willard, the visitors hoped out
10 the stadium for limbering-up ses-
sion before the Colonials took the
neld. Tonight they will attend Loew's
FOX Theater, along with the Colonials,
as guests of the management.
G. W. Eleven Heavier.
HE Tidesmen tomorrow will average
about l9l pounds as a team, 1913
IN the line and 178 in the backfeId.
George Washington, though, will hold
slight weight advantage, as the Co.
lonias average 1913 pounds as a team,
1873 on the line and lS4 in the back
field.
q. WIS prospects were frightened
with the announcement that Frank
Kavalier. regular 1894 fullback, is fit
for action. He injured his shoulder
early in September and rejo.ned the
squad only week ago. He will not
start. The fullback hole will be filed
either by Herb Reeves. l88-pound
junior. or Lou Carroll, l7O-pound
sophomore.
Fears for Tuffy Leemans. G. VS.

figure on either team. are groundless,
It seems, for Trainer Roland Logan
pronounced the quarterbacks arm
sufhciently healed to permit his start.
ing.
Appearing for the first time this
season in the lineup, Sid Kolker and
Hollis Harrison. veteran guards. will
add strength to George Washington's
defense, which has undergone some
changes since the Emory and Henry
victory. Both Kolker and Harrison
are rugged defensive performers. ANDY
Horne and Ted Cottingham. a pair of
sophs who held down the Jobs last
week, will be held in reserve.
La Sale Has Many Stars,
SALES team, undefeated since
1888, arrived in town this after
noon and went to hotel to rest until
the tilt.
Thirty-five players including Fritz
Brennan, the injured captain of the
team, made the journey from Phila-
oelphia in charge of Coach M-rty
Brill and Athletic Director Jim Henry.
Aside from the highly publicized La
Sale freshman duo, George Reichard
and Joe Cutcavage. who punched over
touchdowns to rout Davis Elkins last
Saturday, the c. U. team is faced with
the problem of holding in check,
Quarterback Joe Sciaretta According
to Fod Cotton who secuted La Sale,
the Explorer quarterback is one of
the best signal callers he has seen in
years. Besides barking the plays,
Sciaretta also handles the booting and
the passing. 1t was his heave to Kad-
lubosky that tied the score against
c. U. last season.
A large delegation of La Sale fans
is expected to descend upon the city
tomorrow morning. A telegram re-
