It's time someone put the Redskins
wise as to just how much is expected
of them Sunday by the Washington
football public. All week long Coach
Ray Flaherty has been trying to i'm
press the Indians with how tough the
Giants are going to be, put 1t seems
the man in the street has different
idea.
The question usually heard is not
"Are the Redskins going to beat the
Giants?" but by how much are the
Redskins going to beat the Giants?"
That, Redskins, is sample Of what
you have to live up to Sunday.
Maybe the memory of last December's
1914 Indian massacre still Is too fresh
in the minds of Washingtonians; may
be the fact that the Redskins still are
undefeated and leading the Eastern
division while the Giants have lost two
and are on the bottom has something
to do with the current psychology.
Feud With Gotham Traditional.
FOStered Dy many years OF Amerl-
can League baseball association, WASH
ington-New York rivalries have be-
come traditional. And now that the
Capital has, or seems to have the edge
in another branch of sport, the local
gentry wants to rub it in on the men
from Manhattan.
Maybe that's one reason that all
reserved seats have been sold four
days before the game. Maybe that
explains the reason why more than
900 general admission tickets were
bought the first day of sale, although
purchasers could have waited until
the day of the game and not been any
worse off.

VISITORS PRESENT
ROUNDED ATTACK
ColoniaIs May Be Getting
Major Test in Disguise.
Merka viii Play.

George Washington's 1898 grid hope
fuls are expected to get a major test
somewhat in disguise tonight when
they entertain Butler at Griffith
Stadium. The kickoff is at 8:15
Colonial scouts report Butler much
stronger than Furman, which George
Washington beat by single touch
down in its opening game.
Coach Bill Reinhart unquestionably
has advanced his squad greatly since
last week. However, it is far too early
in the season to point for a game.
And Butler, Judging from its play
against Ball State, which it defeated,
and Purdue, is no weakling.
Botchey Koch, Buff line coach, says
Butler is an offensive team, with good
kickers, a good passing attack and a
sound ground game.
In short, the Colonials would be
pleased to take this contest in stride,
II possible, But they are not too
sure of victory, primarily because they
are not exactly sure what they are
running up against.
Merka Back in Shape.
Reinhart planned to start two
heavy, strong blockers who can add
considerable weight to the G. w. back
field. Frank Merka, senior halfback,
who has recovered completely from
late-summer illness, and Murphy
Booth, husky sophomore, will pro-
vide most of the interference.
Merka weighs 1876 and Booth 178,
giving G. w. at least 35 pounds
behind the line which was not there
last week.
1t is probable that Vic Sampson,
lightweight halfbeck star, and Lud
Urick, who started at fullback in the
opening game and displayed great
drive in line plunging, will be paired
with Merka and Booth. However.
should G. w. win the toss and receive.
Reinhart may start Ken Batson and
John. Tonkavltch, pair of strong
ball runners, in his plan to take the.
offensive as quickly as possible.
Renzaglia Likely to Start.
In the line, which stood up well
against Furman and looms as one of
George WaShingtons best in several
years, Guy Renzaglia, fiery Italian
senior probably will start in place
of Izzy Weinberg or Hal Schiering.
Guy, an outstanding lineman last year,
has reached top form and cannot be
kept out

Three G. U. Combinations to
Be Used Here Tomorrow
Against Virginians.

In the second OF a series of three
games designed to tune Georgetown
University's team for the more strenu-
GUS tests ahead, the Hoyas will clash
with Roanoke College tomorrow at
Griflth Stadium, with the little Vir-
ginia school cherishing fond hopes Of
holding the score to respectable bounds.
With its backfleld aces, Bernie Ped
neau, left-footed punter, and Charley
Stecker, expected to see little, If any,
service due to injuries, Roanoke will
enter the game distinct underdog
following Georgetown's 51-0 massacre
of Hampden-Sydney last week.
Hoyas to Use Three Teams.
Coach Jack Hagerty will continue his
plan of alternating three teams against
Roanoke. employing the game as me-
dium of discovering Georgetown's
smoothest combination, but will choose
his first team following the game and
use that lineup against Randolph
Macon next week.
Roanoke, which has spanked New
berry College, 1877, and Lenoir Rhyme,
7-6, was tied last week by Catawba.
Perry Crumley and Bill Hancock were
impressive backfield stars in that game,
with Hancock scoring Roanoke's
touchdown by intercepting Catawba
pass and streaking IS yards to a
touchdown.
Clyde Gillespie, reserve end, has
been groomed by Coach Gordon White
for punting duty, along with Crumley,
and both have responded nicely to fill
the gap by Pedneau's loss.
Fete for Roanoke Tonight.
The Roanoke outfit, which was to
leave Salem, Va. early this afternoon,
held a spirited workout yesterday. re-
viewing plays and polishing defensive
tactics, and Coach White is pleased
with the determination Of the team.
The team will be dinner guests OF the
