CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES sched.
" uling of North Carolina State
for a game in the Griffith Sta
dunn next Thanksgiving day may be a
ten-strlke for the Brooklanders. The
Raleigh eleven did not do much last
Fall, but is said to have sufficient ma
terial from its freshman squad to
make a successful team in the 1885
season.
The Brooklanders may have here on
turkey day one of the strongest elevens
in the section, an eleven with a string
OF victories behind it. It should be
one OF the best home games Catholic
University has had in years.
TT is not known what school George
i washington may play next
Thanksgiving, if any. 1t was stated
some time ago that Catholic University
had been given the use of Griffith
Stadium for the holiday contest.
For the last three years George
Washington has brought here big
Middle Western elevens, Oklahoma
twice and Kansas once.
THE decisive victory Alabama won
on the Pacific Coast seems to
have caused a good deal of sur
prise, but just why, it is difficult to
, understand.
Alabama's team all through the
season played brilliantly and ran up
big scores against hard opposition.
Any time any eleven can whip VAN
derbilt by 30 points, can beat Georgia
Tech by 40 and run roughshod over
some other strong squads, that eleven
must be conceded real strength.
Coaches familiar with Alabama and
knowing the kind Of teams Alabama
had been whipping, are not expressing
any surprise at the size of the coast
score.
