Is Maryland to prove the 1888
jinX which has been following
Georgetown through "a years of in
terCollegiate football? That was the
leading question which District COL
legiate sports followers were asking
themselves today and will continue
to ask until the final whistle on
Washington biggest natural" of
the year is blown Saturday afternoon
at College Park.
If it is answered in the negative,
G.. U. not only will have its first
undefeated and united team in his
tory, but good chance of being
invited to play in the Orange Bowl
at Miami on New Years Day.
If, on the other hand, Maryland
pulls the apparent impossible, Old
Line students will just about forget
the eight defeats now standing on
their teams record as against
lone victory over little Western
Maryland.
Hoyas Lose Center Riofski.
Always something has stood be-
tween Georgetown and it's goal of
a perfect season. And. although
Maryland is accorded as much
chance of beating the Hoyas as
Central High would be given against
the Redskins, the season has been
full of upsets. For that reason. plus
the knowledge that anything can
happen in the world of sport, there
should not be many vacant seats in
College Park Saturday.
Something else beside the psy-
Geological factor. which is all in
favor Of the underdog Terrapin as
against an overconfident Hoya. Wor-
ried Coach. Jack Hagerty todaT
That was that John Ieftyp Riot
ski. his senior center, who starred
in the Hoyas three major victories
over Manhattan, Temple and Buck
nell. will see his last game as
Georgetown player from the bench.
Riofski fractured his hand in the
West Virginia game last Saturday
and is definitely out. Either Al Ma
tura or Jim Reichey. sophomores,
who were given the call over Riof-
ski early in the season, will start
against Maryland.
Eberle, G. w., Has Broken Leg.
Riofski is not the only casualty
among Saturdays gridiron children
of local colleges. Don Eberle. George
Washington's right end, broke his
left leg as the Colonials nosed out
Kansas 81. at Griffith Stadium
last week. X-rays showed that the
tibia in Eberle's leg was fractured.
Eberle's loss will necessitate the
shifting of Bob Nowaskey back to
flank position as G. w. bucks an
eight-year record Saturday when
it tackles Bucknell at Lewlsburg.
Not since 1929 has Bucknell lost
homecoming game, and the Co.
loniais are the Bisons Homecoming
guest this year. G.. w. not only will
be out to chase that jinX but also to
match Georgetown 1870 victory
over Bucknell this year
Squad statistics show that Buck
nell will outweigh G. w. only 2
pounds to the man in the line, but
that the Pennsylvanians' backfeld
averages 10 pounds per man heavier
than the Colonial ball carriers.
That, plus the fact that Bucknell
had an off day last week and will
have had two weeks rest, should
make the home team a slight
favorite.
c. L. Points for Loyola.
Catholic Universitys preparations
for Loyola of the South will be di-
rected by Assistant Coach Fod Cot
ton the remainder of the time be-
fore the Cardinals leave for New
Orleans for their Sunday game.
Head Coach Arthur j. DutchD
Bergman left by plane yesterday for
Peru. Ind. where his 81-year- old
father is seriously i'll.
Still popped up over their TO
Armistice Day victory over Miami,
the Cardinals have high hopes of
winning their fourth intersectional
game of the season. To date c.
US record shows four victories in
six games and an even break in four
intersectional duels. The Cardinals
have whipped De Paul of Chicago
and Miami, but lost to Detroit and
ST. Louis.
