which plays a type of football
which is interesting, appealing and
spectacular-in short, G. w. is
crowd-pleaser.
Davis Elkins, of course, will
catch G. w. in somewhat of let
down, but the Colonials will click
at some time or other during the
game, and should win with ease.
In this game, as in others, the
Buff and Blue will strut their
stuff from the spread" forma-
ton which took the Southwest by
storm and which gained the Colo.
malls plenty of first downs against
strong Rice. Joey kaufman, key.
man of this formation, is ready
for Davis Elkins and some sensa-
tional running and passing should
be on tap with Joey on the lob.
Sees L. S. U. to Bowl
Down in the Southwest, wager
ing is even money that Louisiana
State University will draw the
Rose Bowl assignment. The Bayou
Tigers, according to any number
of football coaches and gridiron
observers, have the greatest eleven
ever developed in the South.
L. S. US schedule, as difficult as
any in the country, if not actually
the most difficult, has thus far
tested the Baton Rouge eleven,
and the Louisiana Tigers have not
been found wanting.
The race in the Southwestern is
wide open, with Rice, T. C. U. and
S. M. U. improving rapidly and all
set for the final weeks OF the sea-
son. According to Gaylord johnson
and Jimmy Kits, of Rice, in all
probability the Southwestern Con-
ference race will not be decided
until the games of December
are played. johnson and Kits,
incidentally, insist that L. S. U. is
one of the three best teams IN the
country, if not the best.
Drawing Card In N. 7.
Gallaudet will be drawing
card in New York on Saturday.
The Silents always have been
popular in New York city. How
ever, it appears unlikely that Cal
laudet can win over C. c. N. Y.
American University meets Ran
dolph-Macon at Richmond on Sat
urday. American does not have
material anywhere near the equal
of that available to Randolph
Macon, and the Eagles appear due
| for a trimming. This game will
draw we'll in Richmond.
/ Just how good is Georgetown?
The question will be answered at
Morgantown on Saturday. The
Hoyas oppose a team which
started poorly and then suddenly
went into high. When the Noun
taineers scored 33 points against
Western Maryland, West Virginia
proved its worth as an attacking
machine. However, western Mary
lands 20 points scored against
the Morgantown MarauderS indl'
cate that Georgetown will score.
Hoya defense probably will be a
whole lot better than Western
Maryland's was.
Not Up To Task
While none other than Elmer
Layden insists that Purdue is not
up to winning over Fordham. the
impression in the Middle West is
that Purdue, after its dismal fail

Navy as usual. depends upon an
extraordinary morale, a tip-top
spirit to win games. Contrary to
general opinion, Navy does not
have either man-power or good
football material. AS a matter OF
cold fact, Navy's football material
is not as good as the average sec
