Warned of Danger.

IF GEORGETOWN'S early-sesson
worries were getting past New York
University and Maryland-aS they
likely were-they have been subject to
revision these last few weeks. Scanning
scouting reports, comparative scores
and the various other means q foot
ball outfit employs to estimate the
strength Of rival team, Georgetown
has good reason today to post a storm
signal in expectation of its invasion
of Morgantown Saturday to clash with
West Virginia's Mountaineers.
Not that preseason estimates OF
New York U. and Maryland were
awry. The Hoyas, in fact, we're some
what fortunate to hold the Violets
to TT tie two weeks ago, although
they had the ball game won until
the final 10 minutes. And Maryland,
Tor all OF two defeats, still stacks up
as a foe worthy Of even an unbeaten
teams mettle. But if West Virginia
had been ranked behind the Terps
and Violets it might well have been
underrated.
The Mountaineers' threat to George
towns record that shows no defeat
has become all the more obvious of
late due to no fault of West Vir-
ginias. The Hoyas themselves have
not pleased Hagerty recently, par
ticularly in the New York U. game.
Against Shenandoah first-stringers
were used sparingly and some of the
nh1pf ~ rr.Iz
expected, showed not too much spirit.
Then, too, it has been three weeks
since Halfback Joe Keegin and John
Fleming, end and Hagerty's best
punter, have been in the lineup. They
still are not in the best of shape and
remain doubtful starters on Saturday,
HOyas Have Worries.
WHAT the Mountaineers have ac-
complished to worry Georgetown
has been no little. Behind a big, alert
line West Virginia engineers a varied
attack whose best bet is passing. Only
one team has stopped this aerial at
tack and to lose to this eleven was
no disgrace, inasmuch as it was Pitts
burgh. The Panthers scored "a of the
30 points that have been chalked I'D
against West Virginia, which, in DEM
onstratlng its own attack, has scored
149 points. Only three other major
teams in the country, Drake, Georgia
Tech and Kentucky, have outscored
the Mountaineers.
Their record is six victories. as
against the defeat by Pittsburgh.
Waynesburg was beaten, TO: Cincin-
natl. 4O-6; Washington and Lee. 28-7:
west Virginia Wesleyan, $50; Centre,
26-13. and Western Maryland, 1920,
The Cincinnati score alone is enough
10 strike apprehension in the hearts
OF Georgetowners. The Hoyas onlv
defeated the same team. TO. and
pushed across that touchdown in the
flnal 80 seconds of play.
West Virginia, from a foe that was

pins in early October, might well be
ranked the team that will block
Georgetown'S path to an unbeaten
season.
Maryland Sorely Crippled.
HAD Maryland a more formidable
foe than Richmond to meet Sat-
urday, also away from home, the
Terps. too, might feel considerable
apprehension. Three of their best
ball-carriers. Jim Meade, Bill Guckey.
son and Coleman Headley, are nursing
bad underpinning and there is doubt
If they will be in top shape when the
Spiders are played.
Richmond, even with Guckeyson
seeing little action due to a pulled
groin muscle, is not likely to extend
the Terps much. The Spiders fought
to ties with Randolph-Macon and
Roanoke in their first two games, but
have won only one game since, trim
