w YASHINGTON'S 1885 loot
M ball season, which began
wv with so much hope and
promise, is becoming
little chaotic. One bubble after
another has burst or shrunk.
Georgetown, of which least was ex-
pected among the Capitals big four,
was surprised by Albright and lost,
6 to 0.
George Washington, with two of the
biggest attractions in the country on
its schedule, Alabama and Rice In
stitute, and itself with a team ac-
counted capable Of going far places,
was strangled by the Crimson Tide
80 to 0.
Only Catholic University has moved
steadily onward To get over its f1rst
big hump 1t defeated Duquesne, to
0. On a foreign field, it will encounter
its second high hurdle next Saturday
in the form of Detroit University,
coached by Rocknes old pal, Gus
Dorais.
If the Cardinals clear this jump
Washington will have flrst-rate foot
ball show it hadn't counted upon. It
will see an undefeated c. U. team
embattled with an outfit you hear
little about, but which may be in
terestingly dangerous-St. Mary's OF
Texas.
c. U. and st. Mary's will meet at
Griffith Stadium on Friday night OF
next week, and for the first time
this season the Cardinals will have
the D. c. stage to themselves. In
their only home game so far they met
La Sale when George Washington
was playing Alabama here.
st. Mary's Not a Set-Up.
CT MARY'S, with only four days OF
~ practice, lost its opener to Rice by
80 to 0, then defeated Abilene Chris
tian, Texas Wesleyan and Texas Mines
decisively. Next Saturday it will meet
st. Thomas at Scranton, Pa.
The Cardinals. striving with conf
dence to become the first District
eleven to achieve perfect record. are
not accepting the st. Mary's game
lightly. The Texans, who use fresh
men on the varsity, will average 2l1
pounds in the line against 1877 for
C. U. and 1877 in the backfield against
the Cards 179. And they have q smart
coach. Frank Bridges, who learned
his foot ball at Harvard and Baylor.
coached Baylor to a Southwestern
Conference championship in 1924.
It's q whopping team st. Mary's
will bring to Washington, its lightest
man weighing 1875 pounds, and II
may destroy the last Of the Capitals
opportunities for exceptional foot ball
distinction this season by preventing
G. U. from having clean slate.
The remainder of the D. c. cam
paign, however, probably will offer
lots of excitement. Although beaten
in unexpected fashion, neither George
town, George Washington nor Mary
land has thrown in the towel; far
from it. Georgetown, off to a ragged
start against Albright, showed almost
remarkable improvement against
Roanoke and looks to even better
things against Miami University of
Florida here next Saturday. The
Hoyas really are pointing for next
season, but are bent upon making a
worthwhile record in 1885.
Stung by the 'Bama business, George
washington came back strong to
lace Catawba and expects to play a
heap of foot ball against West Virginia
next Friday night at Griffith Stadium.
The Colonials figure the Rice game
will give them an opportunity to
recover the prestige they lost in the
fall before the Crimson tide.
Maryland's defeat was not surpris-
ing, but the size of the score was
and its game next Saturday with
v. M. J., in the Cadets homecoming,
likely will find the Terrapins swapping
viciously.
