current campaign, we find our
local elevens ready to mix in COM
bats which either are important as
supreme tests or as preparatory
tilts for supreme tests to come.
Georgetown, Maryland and Cath
olic University this Saturday will
be involved in games Of great i'm
portance. Manhattan, conqueror
of Kentucky this past weekend, is
favored, in New York, to trip the
Hoyas. Maryland, while favored
to win over Virginia Military In
Stitute, realizes it has quite bat
tie on it's hands. Catholic Univer-
Sity meets greatly improved
North Carolina State, and the
Cards must return to form if they
are to win over Hunk" Anderson'S
team.
George Washington, in the
throeS of terrific letdown against
Davis and ElkinS, should perform
better against Catawba when the
two clash in Griffith Stadium.
Catawba is coming to Washington
determined to show its class
against the Colonials.
Show Something Spiffy
The promise is made by the lit
tie team from Salisbury, N. c.,
that it will show Washington
something real spiffy in the way
of an attack. The CataWba game
is G. WIS final test before the
Buff and Blue team tackles West
Virginia in G.. WIS all-important
homecoming game on Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
Other games in which local
elevens figure this weekend are
American University VS.. Johns
Hopkins, at American University;
Gallaudet VS.. Mt. st. Mary'S, at
Emmitsburg; Wilson Teachers VS..
Millersville, at Miller, Pennsyl-
vania; and, Howard University
VS.. Union, at Howard Stadium.
All four of the local elevens are
rated underdogs in their clashes
of Saturday.
According to dope from the
Southern Conference, V. M. I. is
very apt to upset Maryland's Ter
rapins. Bill Raftery and his chief
assistant, Ed Hess, have done re-
markably well with the material
furnished them at Lexington.
Dump Richmond, 20 to 0
Three weeks ago, the Keydets
dumped Richmond by 200
count. Last Saturday, Maryland
won over the Spiders, IL to o. V.
M. I. through these past three
Saturdays has travelled with con-
sistency. The military boys de.
feated Richmond, Virginia and
William and Mary in row, Vlr'
ginia by a IL to 6 count and WI"
liam and Mary by a score OF z!
to 0. Earlier in the year, Maryland
won over Virginia, Fl to 0.
Young Mr.. William Guckeyson'
this territory's candidate for ALI
America honors, will be in the
game against v. M. l., and this Is
verv bad news for the visiting
Keydets. This young Mr.. Guckey-
son. pride of Bethesda, probably
rates well ahead of this areas two
All-America candidates OF recent
wears, Bill Shepherd, OF Western
MARYLAND. and Alphone "Tufty"
Teemans. of G. w. GuckeySon
has what it takes, and then some
If he is not placed on the ALI
America it will be because, as
usual. blind men are picking EN-
once again.
G. U. Underrated
Georgetown will be hard-pressed
against Manhattan. II the HoyaS
decide to win the game and II they
enter the contest bound and de-
termined to trounce Manhattan
"Chick" Meehan's boys Will re-
ceive jolt.
G. U. not only is a greatly un'
derrated combination but 1t pos
sesses real ability. The team IS
wonderfully Well-coached. 1t is
alert. It has poise. 1t has the
grand opportunity in these com
ing three games, against Mammal
tan. Maryland and Miami, TO
prove up one of the best grid
combinations ever turned out at
Georgetown. Georgetown's eggs
all are in one basket and 1t is
the players basket.
Boston College, which defeated
Michigan State, a high-ranking
team, had q tough time on Sat-
urday winning over North Caro-
lima State. This B. C.-N. c. State
game clearly indicated what Cath
olic University is up against when
; the Wolfpack invades Brookland.
C. u. can ill afford to take N. c.
state lightly.
Catawba's last effort against
Guilford was one which indicates
J that the Salisbury eleven is lar
from a set-up. Catawba trounced
Guilford, 20 to 0. In six starts
this season, Catawba has rung up
. five wins. Roanoke won over Ca.
! tawba, IL to 6, and Roanoke tied
Richmond, at o to 0, and beat
william and Mary, 13 to 0, team
which Navy defeated, 18 to 6.
All in all, Washington's Big
Four find themselves IN unenvi0
BILE positions this Saturday COM
ing up. While it would be some.
what of a big surprise should
: Catawba win over G. W., it would
: be only a mild surprise should
