Football sounds its grand rally
today over the gridironS of the
District of Columbia and it's en-
virons as the young stalwarts
rally to the colors of their respec-
tive schools.
Georgetown, George Washington
and American University will hike
off for training camps, there to
prepare for the strenuous work
ahead. Georgetown will leave for
Old Point Comfort on Monday
night. The Colonials, of George
Washington, will hike off for Camp
LetttS, while the boys of American
University report to Gus Welsh at
Camp Ke-wan-zee, in the rolling
foothills of the Blue Ridge Noun.

United States Naval Academy
has had its squad at work by Sew
ern's blue waters for the past week.
Lieut.. Hank Hardwick, Nays
head coach, has job on his hands
to replace the score of first-string
players lost by graduation. Frank
DobSon is chewing on timothy
straws out at Richie Stadium in
Maryland, hoping that at least two
mighty tackles will report and re-
1ieve the dearth of firSt-line ma
terial.
At rookland the capable
Dutch" Bergman, head coach Of
Catholic University, welcomes the

comparatively green team along
the victory trail. The Brookland-
erS held their first practice on
Thursday. Gallaudet is preparing
for the trials Of the season.
Out of our immediate territory,
but close to the hearts of men in
olive drab, United States Military
Academy at West Point already is
pointing for that great day in the
SeSquicentennial Stadium Of Phil
adelphia when it meets its dearest
foe, the Navy.
HOPES HIGH
This is the high tide of the year
for some of the coaches and some
of the teams. 1t is the time of
year when hopes ride high as
triumphS on the field are antici-
pated. It may be that before the
= low Slanting sun of late November
sets over the national gridiron,
one or more OF the local teams
may win high ranking.
Navy is optimistic as it pre-
pareS for a season that includes
N games with Harvard, Notre Dame,
= Pennsylvania, Columbia, Princeton
:, and Army. It is violating no
II confidence to say that the Mid
d shipmen look at better than an
20 even break with their major foes.
J. With boys of the caliber Of
Frank Lynch, who caught that all
important forward pass against
Army, and otherwise distinguished
himself in the field; with Bob
Antrim, one of the great defen"
sive backs of the Eastern seaboard,
and the meteoric Bill Ingram row.
ing free, Navy may do well. And
there is one r. F. Dubois, captain"
elect, who may rise to the great
heights that won him his post OF
"A leadership.
