- ONE time back 1t was men,

c. U.-West Virginia Wesleyan
- game might give an idea Of
the relative strength of c. U. and
George Washington.
West Virginia was held to a 90 tie
by West Virginia Wesleyan and George
Washington defeated West Virginia,
1871. Catholic U. defeated West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan by 1876. That would
make the Cards and Colonials appear
rather evenly matched-until you con-
slider that G. W. smothered Davis
and Elkins. 53-7, after West Virginia
Wesleyan had tough time beating
Davis and ElkinS, 1876.
From any viewpoint, G.. w. must
be conceded an edge when these scores
are compared, but few grid folk now

defeat at the hands of a strong De
Paul team in Chicago. the Cardinals
record Is one of the best in the coun-
try. Victories over La Sale, Du-
quesne, Detroit. st. Mary's of Texas
and West Virginia Wesleyan tell the
story.
Western Maryland's record is not
so impressive, though the Terrors have
been whipped decisively only once,
and that by a fine Villanova team.
The Terrors lost to Penn State by q
safety and to Bucknell by a field goal,
and both defeats were charged TO the

than credited to the superiority of the
winners. The Terrors have beaten

Seven sophomores will be in ths
starting lineup against C. u, five Of
them on the line. Coach Charley
Havens has two sets of backs, six Of

Among the ball carriers is a WASH

Havens will keep in the game as long
as practicable.
According to Turbyville, the most
optimistic Of the Western Maryland
following can hope for nothing better
than defeat by low score, but out
at Brookland the warriors feel they
will need to shoot the works if the
Green Terror is not to make 1t two
