BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Georgetown's robust athletes, eager
to crunch their molars into a size
able slice of national football recog-
milton, receive their patiently await
ed supreme test this week on for
eign field The battle with Boston
College at Boston is getting the
Hoyas more attention than any local
eleven has received in years.
Before a crowd expected TO test
Fenway Parks capacity of 10000,
Georgetown will risk its three-year
indicated record against the pow
erful unbeaten, united Eagles and
out Of the bruising engagement
doubtless will come an important
bowl bid for the winner.
This is the game for which the
Hoyas have been preparing all sea-
son, leveling seven successive bar
riers by margins of never less than
two touchdowns en- route to their
lofty goal. They are rested and
ready, with that 4l-0 victory over
Maryland on Saturday serving as a
tonic to reserve strength.
Hoyas UnderdOgs in Boston.
For the first time since 1888 a
Georgetown team will take the
field an underdog, although here
the Hoyas will be no worse than
even money. Odds at Boston prob
ably will favor the Eagles rs, but
there is nothing in their respective
records to warrant a choice in either
direction.
Highest scoring team in the Ma
ton with 26l points, Boston College
shades Georgetown only by IA points
IN that respect and the Hoyas, by
the same token, rate a slight edge
defensively having yielded % points
to the Eagles 81. It's calculated as
anybody's game and if the Hoyas
win it they're a lock for a fetching
bowl invitation.
Catholic University will be bid
ding for a smaller slice Of national
note in facing undefeated, united
Establishments at Brookland Sta
dunn. Hardin-Simmons has dis
posed of Daniel Baker, Centenary,
Temple State, Texas Mines. North
Texas State, West Texas State and
Loyola of Los Angeles and will be
favored heavily.
Hardin Simmons Tough Foe.
The Cardinals. though, vauIted
considerably in the estimation Of
local fans by holding highly-re-
garded Tulsa to a 1875 score on
Saturday, being beaten by the Hur-
ricanes by less margin than Texas
Christian and Detroit were wal
loped by the same club.
Out Of the more formidable teams
of the Southwest sector, Hardin
Simmons also is one of the most
colorful. II is so strong, in fact. it is
rated as an outlaw" outfit in its
own section, with the so-called
name" schools Of that area refus-
ing to schedule it.
George Washington. more than
mildly disturbed by being held to
a scoreless tie by Bucknell, meets
in Kansas Saturday at Griffith Sta
dunn a team which is rated lightly.
The Jayhawks have registered only
one victory in six games. but in
Guided on their formidable slate
have been such teams as Nebraska,
Villanova and Oklahoma. which
Kansas held TO a 1870 score last
week.
Colonials Disappointing.
The Colonials failed to impress
against Bucknell. Despite drilling
extensively on an aerial attack.
G.. w. chucked only eight passes
and none was completed, leaving
Coach Bill Reinhart a mountain of
work to do all over again this week.
Maryland, with no reason to feel
disgraced by absorbing its antici-
pated shellacking from Georgetown,
drops back in its own class this
week, humping into " NJ. I. Satur-
day at Lynchburg. while American
University, still seeking its first VIC
tory in two years, enbertains Juniata
at A. U. field.
