.|ntra-City Clash
Is Last for 3
Of Old Rivals
6. w. Primed to Give
Heavily Fovored 6. U.
Fight to Finish

Every movement labeled with the
labored tenseness of a heavyweight
training camp, Georgetown and
George Washington completed prep
arations today for the second game
of their modern series tomorrow at
Griffith Stadium. The kickoff Is
scheduled at 2 o'clock.
Visions of dramatic upset VIC
tory danced dreamily in the Colo
malls minds and Georgetown, cer-
tain to play a post-season game
even if it doesn't receive a bowl
bid, speculatively wondered if it
could be beaten by its ambitious
neighbor.
Comparing the two records. George
Washington has no license TO
trample the Hoyas, no legitimate
reason even for making it close If
you want to throw out the intra-
city angle Georgetown is three
deep in every position, has faster
backs, better kickers and more ac-
curate passers. 1t also has a rec
ord of % victories in its last 25
games, the lone defeat suffered at
the hands of Boston College, pros
pective 1910 Eastern champion.
Trip Due Georgetown.
And the Hoyas are going places
when the curtain drops on its regu-
lar campaign. They are being con-
sidered for the Orange Bowl and
Cotton Bowl and a movement is
afoot to dispatch them to the West
Coast for a Christmas Day game
with Santa Clara at Los Angeles.
Gabe Murphy, graduate manager of
athletics, is anxious to send the team
somewhere as token of George
towns appreciation for the splendid
work of 19 seniors who will play
their last collegiate game on home
soil tomorrow.
With % seniors on both squads, the
engagement will smack of graduation
exercises and it will be a sad day for
Coach Jack Hagerty of Georgetown,
who brought his boys along from
their freshman year and nursed
them through two-and almost three
years without defeat Hagerty
realizes he never again may see
squad of this, caliber assembled at
the Hilltop at one time.
Georgetown fans will be there in
legion for a last look at Augie Lilo,
Jim Castiglia, Joe "copper" McFad-
| den, Al Matuza, Jim Reichy, Bill
Wixted, Joe Daniels, Earl Fnllilove,
Jules Koshlsp Bill NeaIoh, Johnny
Buckley, Ken McNicols, Lou Ghecas,
Joe Mickey, John Lascari. Mark
Ostinati and Johnny Spencer. They
deserve good sendoff.
Colonials Sure to Battle.
This mixture of last games-sen-
iors-Sentiment and post-season
games-iS certain to add luster to
what otherwise would be a dull af-
fair 1t is positive guarantee that
the thrice-beaten Colonials will be
in there swinging from the first
whistle. refusing to accept defeat
until the minute hand touches the
final mark.
And who is there to say G. w.
can't win? 1t has Murphy Booth,
Ken Batson, Capt. Sam Babich. Tom
Grady. Tony Barauskas and Johnny
Kokoski as its graduating class. and
all would prefer to bow out with an
upset. The Colonials caught fire last
year and held their highly touted foe
to TO margin. and this year, cele-
brating their golden football anni-
versary, they will strive to better
that performance.
Both teams are ready. George
town has recovered from its 1919
loss to B. c.. anxious to prove that
defeat fluke by grinding out an
ample margin over George WASH
ington and Will pull no punches. If
the Hoyas get Z, II or n points rest
assured it is all they could get.
Join Tonight in Dance.
George Washington, feeling bet
ter after digesting 60 victory over
Kansas last week and anxious to
make a lot of critics eat crow, is
wound up for so minutes of SOLE
! blistering action. Whatever they
do you'll know it was their best and
the best may be good enough to
bag one of the seasons most amaz-
ing upsetS.
Pep rallies were scheduled at
both schools this evening George
Washington undergraduates and
| alumni will gather at Twenty-sec-
ond and G streets at 7:30 and Hoyas
will gather in the yard on the Hi1
and hour earlier.
Both factions later will join forces
