Gives Hoyas
Edge Over
Terps
By HARRY COSTELLO

By HARRY COSTELLO
Waning November finds football
at its best.
Traditional games. bitterly con.
tested always, are the order of the
day from now until the season
closes.
Seven games are listed on the
little card this week-all seven Of
them games worthy Of close study
before predictions are made.
i. Penn State VS.. Buckneu.
2. Manhattan VS.. Villanova.
8. California VS.. Stanford
4. Georgetown VS.. Maryland.
5. Catholic U. VS.. w. Maryland.
6. Notre Dame VS.. Northwestern.
z. Duquesne VS.. Marquette.
PENN STATE VS.. BUCKNELL
one always is bitterly con-
tested. Penn State, on the strength
of it's showing against strong Penn
Sylvania, appears to hold an edge
here. Bucknell, however, has been
coming strongly, and the Herd
should win over State.
MANHATTAN VS.. VILLANOVA
Two teams each much stronger
than their records show. This
should prove battle royal. look
for Manhattan to continue victori-
GUS although it must be said that
Villanova is much stronger compe-
tition than the JaSpers have faced
these past several Saturdays.
CALIFORNIA VS.. STANFORD
Here is one for the book. STAN
ford always dangerous; California
capable of the very best brand
Of football. The Golden Bears
ought to win this one.
Hoyas Fighting Mad
GEORGETOWN VS.. MARY
LAND-The Hoyas are fighting
mad, as they say in football. The
Terps, too, are fighting mad.
Both were returned losers last
weekend. These two appear
evenly matched. Guckeyson may
prove the factor to win for Mary
land, but I'll string along with
Georgetown.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY VS..
WESTERN MARYLAND-A hard
game to predict. c. U. won over
N. c. State, 7 to 6, practical
tie. Boston College defeated N.
C. State, Z to 8, and defeated
Western Maryland, IL to 7. That
makes it close in any mans fig
uring. The Cards probably will
win.
NOTRE DAME VS.. NORTH
WESTERN-The Ramblers have
proved up as hot and cold team.
Against Navy, for instance, Notre
Dame was cold; against Army,
Elmer Layden's boys were hot.
All Chicago and South Bend ex-
pect the Ramblers to unseat
mighty Northwestern, but I look
for the Evanston team to come
through on account of its superb
running attack.
DUQUESNE VS.. MARQUETTE
This game is played in Pitts
burgh. There is no doubt but that
it will be a terrific battle. Mar
uuette, realizing its danger, will
be out to prove its worth as a Rose
Bowl team and will play desperate
football. The team from Milwau-
kee seems the better Of the two.
