6. W. Faces Toughest
Job With Little to
Gain in Victory
By BURTON HAWKINS,


That starchy, cleaning record
owned by local collegiate elevens ap-
peared a ripe specimen to be tar
nished tomorrow. with five clubs
from this sector facing dangerous
foes virtually certain to smear a COL
lective defense which thus far has
yielded only two points in seven
engagements.
Placed in perhaps the most un-
enviable position is George WASH
ington's team. The Colonials will
collide with an outfit which has cap
tured three games, but in invading
Indianapolis to tackle Butler, G. w.
seems to have very little to gain by
victory and stands to drop con-
siderable prestige through defeat.
Butler may be the most underrated
opponent to be met by local clubs
this week. 1t has rolled over Ball
State, Ohio University and Indiana
State and represents a distinct
threat to the untested Colonials,
who brushed aside Davis -Elkins in
their debut last wek.
Georgetown Apprehensive.
Georgetown. too, was quaking in
the region of the knees as it en-
trenched today at Syracuse, for the
Orange will be in q surly mood fol-
lowing last weeks loss to Cornell.
There has been a tendency by self
styled experts to pick Syracuse to
snap the Hoyas' string of conquests
and Georgetown will enter the game
at no better than even money.
Just what to expect from Mary
land this season will be mirrored at
Charlottesville, where the Terps will
stack up against a strong Virginia
team. 1t would be fancy feather
IN the cap of Coach Frank Dobson
to spill the Cavaliers, but Virginia
generally is conceded to be equipped
with more ammunition.
A perennial menace to Catholic
University, Detroit will tangle with
the Cardinals at Brokland Stadium
in the leading local unit, while
American University's crippled
Eagles are expected to absorb a
lacing from Randolph Macon on the
A. U. field Both local games will
start at 2:30 o'clock.
George Washington ticklish sit
uation hardly has been helped by a
brace of changes in the Colonial
lineup. Coach Bill Reinhart has
been forced to- switch Stan Ziobro
from left to right guard to replace
John Kokoski, lost to the club
through an appendectomy, and
shove Tom SWEET into Ziobro's stall.
Walt Fedora is nursing a minor
hip injury and although no doubt
he will see action, Reinhart was
inclined to favor Lud Urick as his
starting fullback as the team pre-
pared to leave for Indianapolis this
afternoon at $40.
With the exception of Francis
(Red DAILY, regular end, and Jack
Spencer, reserve halfback, George
town Is in good physical condition
for Syracuse.
The Hoyas were given an en-
thus1astic-in fact, too enthusiastic
-send-off yesterday at Union Sta
ton, when nine students piloted
automobiles into the concourse. They
were hustled to No. l precinct,
where their explosive spirits cost
they $40 each.
Detroit has indicated it will take
to the air early against c. u, ap-
parently feeling its chances of tri-
umph lie in that direction rather
than in attempting to puncture the
Cards highly regarded line.
GuyOn Out of C. U. Lineup.
Coach Dutch Bergman, who
hopes to atone for a 27-O shellacking
dealt his team by the Titans last
year, will fire his full strength at
the invaders, the return of Half
back Hank Brostek bolstering the
club. Halfback Joe Guyon is out
with a stomach ailment, but Berg
man las prer Ued for the tiff with
that in mind.
Maryland'S hope of upsetting Vir-
glnla has been enhanced by the abb
sence of AL Frerotte, tackle. who was
injured last week as the Cavaliers
dropped a hectic, 14-12, decision to
Navy. The Terps regain Center Bob
Smith, but will operate with Soph-
omore Ralph Burlin at tackle in
place OF the injured Bob Brown.
American u, which has had some
dlf1iculty in placing a team on the
field, suffered another blow in the
loss OF Albert Stadt, vesatile guard
and center, through scholastic diff
ficulties. The Eagles will be making
their first start under Coach George
Menke.
