With the Detroit Lions announced
as the other team besides the Chicago
Bears which the Redskins will meet
in the West, local professional foot
ball fans today contemplated q sched-
ule which will see their national cham
pions play alternately at home and
away throughout the 1888 season.
Only once during the fall are two|
Sunday games in row scheduled for
Griffith Stadium, and night games are
conspicuous by their absence. The

Incidentally, National League sched1
ule makers failed to take into con-
sideration the possibility Of the Mats
getting into the World Series. as a
game at Griffith Stadium is scheduled
during the week end of baseball's an
nual classic. But unless Washington is
the American League pennant winner
there seems little likelihood Of sports
fans staying home to listen to the
series broadcast the Sunday Of October

York Giants will play here against
their nemesis Of the last campaign
One Of the high lights of the local
schedule is the Thanksgiving week end
game with the Pittsburgh Pirates, one
Of the three teams to defeat the cham
pions last year. 1t will be remembered
that the Pirates previously had been
defeated here in 1920 thriller be-
fore they won the return game at

Bethesda Is Tenacious.
Bethesda spurted into 4 60 lead

After 9th Straight.

Having pursued rather contrasting
courses throughout the season, George
town and Maryland come to the end
of their home basket ball campaigns
tonight. Neither will be playing its
final game, however, being scheduled
to end their respective seasons on the
road.
Maryland, finishing strong, seeks to
make st. Johns its eighth straight
victim in game at College Park be-
ginning at 8:15 o'clock. Georgetown
can move to within half a game Of
second place Of the Eastern Intercol-
legiate Conference by whipping Car
negie Tech on Tech Highs floor. The
G. U.-Tech fray starts at $50.
But the situation is vastly different
from that OF a month ago, when the
Hoyas routed the Terps in their an
nual game. Then G. U. still was In
the thick of the running for the East
ern title, while Maryland was given
only a slight chance Of qualifying for
the. Southern Conference tournament.
Terps Are Going Strong.
Now it Is Maryland which is playing
the more consistent ball, among its
seven consecutive victories being q
36-32 decision over washington and
Lee. whose current title it will seek
in the Southern Conference tourna-
ment next week. Only the conference
games remain before the Terps hang
up their uniforms for good.
Georgetown, victor In its first two
conference games, has faced rough
going in its last six, in which it has
won only two. and now can show only
an even break for eight games. Tenn
