EVEN MATCH
BY FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

Let the nation scan IT'S can
didates for Rose Bowl honors this
weekend, Washington looks for
ward to one of the colorful and
interesting battles of the season
here on Saturday when University
of Maryland faces Georgetown at
Griffith Stadium. This meeting
of two we'll coached, polished
elevens holds the interest of the
city, and one Of the largest crowds
of the local season should be in
attendance.
Maryland bowed to Penn State
on Saturday by a margin of a
single touchdown, a victim of man
power rather than of superior
skill of the victors. The same
story was told after the Terp bat
tie with Pennsylvania. 1t was
man power and not better foot
ball.
HOYAS DRIVE AHEAD
The Hoyas, rocked back on
their heels after one of the most
unfortunate incidents of the local
season, have proved their courage
and their football ability bv driv-
ing ahead to win the admiration
and support of all Georgetown
men. The Hoyas played Penn TO
a scoreleSS tie at Franklin Field,
tied West Virginia after the Noun
taineers had slaughtered western
Maryland, and then beat New
York University on last Saturday.
This is a record of courageous
comeback, the lustre of which is
not dimmed by the defeat at the
hands of Manhattan College.
George Washington's home-com-
ing game resulted in complete vic
tory over the Bison's of North
Dakota State University. Per
haps some one out in the range
of the Bisons will write after the
game "butchered to make a Col
onial holiday"
NO MATCH FOR COLONIALs
And that is what happened.
North Dakota was no match for
the ColonialS in any department
of play. The errors of the home
team held down the score in the
first half. But in the last two
periods George Wa h n g t o n
trekked up and down the field to
score almost at will.
John Hopkins gave American
University another drubbing on
Saturday. The result of the game
was not unexpected. however.
The thunder of feet on the Rose
Bowl trail was lessened on Satur-
day due to the defeat of Dukes
Blue Devils at the hands of Uni
Versity of North Carolina.
SURPRISE OF WEEKEND
This was the surprise of the
weekend, which found four con-
tenders for Pasadena precedence
beyond the borders of the East.
California, member of the Pa
cific Coast Conference still stands
as the probable host team on
New Years Day despite its tie
game with University of Wash
ingtorf. Santa Clara, the other
Far Western contender is un-
beaten and united, but not a
member of the conference. Ala
bama is the Southern contender,
and Colorado points to its un-
Sullied record and awaits develop
ments.
Pitt and Fordham head the
list of Bowl candidates in the
East, Yale, Dartmouth, Holy
Cross, Lafayette and Villanova
are unbeaten, and SO is doughty
little Albright.
Pitt has established record as
a terrific finisher. 1t crushed
Notre Dame in the final period,
and it did the same thing to
Nebraska. It shattered the con-
tention that the defense is super
ior to any conceivable attack, for
those versed in gridiron lore know
that no coach in these broad
United States is superior to Biff
Jones as master of defensive
technique.
DON'T ROUSE PANTHER
Don't rouse the Panther" is
the warning flashed to all rivals
of the Pitt eleven. Just score a
touchdown against Sutherland's
men and things begin to happen.
Fordham, the only team that
didn't lose to Pitt didn't score.
Duke will play the Panther on
November 81, but as the situation
presents itself now, there is little
reason for Pitt to fear the out
come.
Alabama's fall is anticipated in
the Southeastern Conference. The
