HOMECOMING
By FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

The vowing seniors of George
Washington University, defeated in
consecutive games by Alabama,
Tulsa and University of MisSiSS-
ippi, declare that they will permit
nothing to mar the home coming
festival tomorrow at Griffith
Stadium. The Buff and Blue will
mingle with the BiSons OF North
Dakota State University in a game
that may be much more severe
than the record of the visitors
would indicate.
The game with the Bisons will
be the last on Griffith Stadium
for ten of the George Washington
players, and they vow that they
will not go off the field beaten.
The edge Of the ColonialS is in
the line. They have weight and
experience on their side, while the
North Dakota men are faster and
shiftier in the backfield.
FIVE SOPHOMORES
Five sophomores are in the
North Dakota forward wall, and
the blunders of the youngsters re-
tarded the team at times, But
even sophomores learn, and, in
that brilliant game against Greeley
State College last week, the
yearlings acquitted themselves
with honor.
Elmer Schrank will start at
quarter for the State team, with
Carl Rorvig and Ernie Wheeler
at half back positions and Yves
Phillips at full back. There's
trouble in that set up. Rorvig is
a Southpaw and can throw forward
passes through a barrel hoop at
IS yards. Wheeler is a right
handed pasSer Of exceptional
talent. So it will matter little
to which side the Green and Gold
attack starts, the secondaries win
have to patrol their zones or pay
heavy penalties in yardage.
Casey Finnegan, the silver
haired coach of the Dakota team
is justly impressed with the ability
Of Vic Sampson, the George Wash
ington ace who played so brilliantly
all season for the ColonialS. If
Sampson has another brilliant day
he is apt to carry the Colonials
right along the victory trail.
READY FOR GAME
The Flying Cardinals Of
Catholic University are camped
today on the scene of the Red
and Blacks greatest gridiron vic
tory. They are down in Coral
Gables in the Orange Bowl, where
in the 1886 New Year game they
defeated the University of Mis-
siSsippi by a score of 20 to 10.
They tackle the University of
Miami tonight.
Despite the fact that the Catho-
lie University squad numbers 81
players, Of whom Is are in con-
dition to go through a game, the
Cards are favored to win.
Reports from Florida indicate
that KatalinaS is just about re-
covered from the charley horse
he suffered in the West Virginia
Wesleyan game. Guyon'S left
shoulder is mending and he will
be all right for the game tonight.
University Of Maryland and
Georgetown are on the March to-
day. Maryland, undefeated since
its opening game Of the season
with Penn, will arrive at State
College, Pa, today for its battle
with the Nittany Lions tomorrow.
Georgetown is in New York to
meet New York University.
LEAVE FOR GOTHAM
The Georgetown Hoyas boarded
an early train for New York this
morning, and this afternoon will
romp over the Polo Grounds in a
light practice drill. Bill Dooly
and Jim Hill were left at home be-
cause of injuries. The active
squad includes 28 players in addi-
ton to the usual retinue Of train
ers, managers, coaches and facuL
ty representatives.
Jack Hagerty looks for slash
ing game from his team tomor-
row, and despite the fact that
New York University has played
slashing football, sees no reason
for apprehension over the result.
The team that fought West Vir-
ginia to a standstill will start
against the VioletS.
Frank Dobson has his Terps
in good condition, and has spared
the boys as much as possible dur
ing the past week. He has been
most SolicitiouS of PerShing Mon
dorff, the field goal shooting ace.
Mondorff beat Virginia and Vir-
ginia Military Academy with field
goals, and he may be needed to-
morrow.
