BY BURTON HAWKINS,


Upward of $4,000 spectators are
expected to wedge their way into
Grifdth Stadium Saturday as
Georgetown and George Washing
ton stage refreshing renewal of
gridiron relations after a lapse of
16 years.
Jeopardizing an undefeated rec
ord which extends back over the last
two years, the Hoyas will be facing
a desperate, scrappy outfit in the
Colonials, who admittedly have been
pointing for Georgetown since
Coach Bill Reinhart ordered his
squad through its first calisthenics
drill early this year
Georgetown, though, doubtless will
reign an 8-5 favorite, predicated,
OF course, on its impressive string
of victories and George Washing
tons mediocre showing to date. Most
followers of the Colonials are dis
missing G. WIS 1876 defeat by But
Ter and unconvincing victories over
Davis-Elkins and The Citadel, pre-
ferring to feel the club is more po-
tent than it has demonstrated.
G. w. Reveals Little Stuff.
They may have something there.
G. w. has stuck largely to straight
football in its three tiffs and as a
result Hoya scouts have been able
to snatch only a smattering of what
to expect Saturday. In losing to But
Ter, the Colonials displayed more
flnesse than against Davis Elkins or
The Citadel, but were unable to
gain break. They out-pointed the
woefully underrated and, inciden-
tally, undefeated Indianapolis team
in everything but touchdowns.
Georgetown, meanwhile, thumped
Temple by the baseball figures of
80 in its opening game, smothered
Roanoke and then tied a strong
Syracuse eleven, 1913. before wal
loping Bucknell yesterday at Lew
isburg, Pa.
Weighing in Georgetown's favor
will be the fact its players are keyed
to competition under pressure. Week
after week they have placed that
undefeated chip on their shoulder
and thus far nobody has knocked
1t off despite several close calls.
The teams have secuted each
other with thoroughness which
has been amazing. In that respect,
G. w. probably has gained an edge.
for Georgetown was forced to shoot
the works against Temple and Syra-
cuse, revealing its entire repertoire.
G. w. Has Edge in Scowling.
The Colonials have constructed
their enthusiastic young team
around Bob Nowaskey, perhaps the
finest football player in this sector
and one of the Nations better ends.
Upon him the Hoyas will focus their
attention, with such stars as Eddie
Wilamoski, Walt Fedora. Sunny
Jones. Sam Babich and Duce Keahey
also ticketed for intensified interest.
Stumpy Lou Ghecas represents
Georgetown's chief scoring threat
and each time he tucks that ball
under his arm G. w. Fans will be
under heavy tension. Ghecas. one
of the fastest backs ever produced
at the Hilltop, is star broken field
runner and climax player whose
brilliant gains generally are delivered
in the clutch.
When Georgetown takes to the
air it will have an experienced
performer. Jules Koshlap, heaving
the leather. Koshlap, who throws

posing record over the last two years.
Tickets for the game are on sale
ut the athletic departments of both
schools, Spalding's, the American
Automobile Association, Sport Gen.
ter and Grifith Stadium.
Maryland will bite into the tough
er portion of its schedule starting
Saturday at College Park, when it
faces Florida in the Terps' home
coming engagement. After that the
Old Liners will face Penn State,
Georgetown, v. M. l., Syracuse and
Washington and Lee.
Catholic University will be IA
vored to keep its undefeated slate in
tact when it invades Florida for
crack at Miami University. The
Cards will be seeking their fifth
straight victory of the current cam
paign.
American University's crippled
squad will receive a sorely needed
rest, idling until November II. when
1t faces Blue Ridge College here.
