C. % i State Thursday—Three t 3 i ! i H i i i s i H H S s Scholastic Contests. BY H. C. BYRD. ‘While oollege and school foot ball en Washington gridirons is singing its swan song this week, some of the . best games of the season yet remain and local elevens are preparing to ‘wind up their schedules with as hard contests as they have played. Georgetown is not meting anything soft in facing Bethany at American League Park, George Washington and Catholic University know that in each other they have opponents who neither ask nor give quarter, and Maryland, over in Baltimore, is to line up against North Carolina State, ‘which has whipped every other team im North Carolina without being aeored on. ‘The high school games are to be betweep Tech and Business on Wed- nesday, Gonzaga and Gonzaga Alumni Thursday morning, while Central will play Maryland Freshmen tomorrow in the Central stadium. Bethany Is Confident. Bethany firmly believes it is going to beat Georgetown. ‘In a few days ago, when the writer intimated in this- column that Georgetown should Win he was taken to task by a Bethany man, who vouchsafed the nformation that the West Virginians are laying for Georgetows and have been banking all fall on trimming the local school, “and we're going to do it. too,” he added. Bethany is a small college and not very well known in this section, but it has a od foot ball team. The line {» made up of big men, and so is the backfleld. In fact, the Bethany team is an ex caally hefty team, even in a section where big teams are not the exception. The e should be well worth seeing, as Bethany has a lot of open plays and & brilliant runner in Randolph. O. U.-G. W. to Play at 12:30. In order not to conflict witlt the Georgetown-Bethany game George Wasdhington and Catholic University will play their game in the Central stadium at 12:30 o'clock; an unusual hour for & foot ball game here. How- ever, down at Columbia, 8. C., Clem- son and South Carolina al their annual fair week game at 13 noon. Columbia University also has echeduled its game this Thanksgiving for the morning part of the day, et will start it at 10:30. The Brooklanders and Hatcltetites think they should draw not only their legitimate following by playing the same at noon. but that there are many fans who will take advantage of the difference in starting time to ,mee both games. - Both games should be well worth ‘watching. The Catholic University- George Washington Unlversity con- test bids fair: to exceptionally spirited and should develop some open play of the sensational kind. Both_schools have iost games this fall. but both have better teams than they generally have been given credit for. And all those that leave tke George Washington - Catholio Uni- versity game to to the one between Georgetown and Bethany will see foot ball as good as the south Atlan- tia section has produced this sedson— foot ball that is to be played between big and experienced elevens. Maryland Meets Tough Fee. Just how well contested should be the game between Maryland and North Carolina State in’ Baltimore may be shown by compering scores of some soutk Atlantio games Carolina State defeated North Caro- lina Universi Caro- lina University beat Maryland, 7; Maryland whipped Virginia Pe technic Institute, 10 to 7, and Virgini Polytechnic Institute took the meas- ure of North Carolina State, 7 to 3, ‘which seems sufficient to indicate that if any two of these four teams were to meet a close, hard-fought game should result. Maryland went through its game with Carnegie Tech without an injury, ‘except a bruised shoulder received by Joe Burger, and he prob- s:l’y will be back in shape by Thurs- Crimson Jisrd to Conquer. Harvard is hard enough to beat by any team and at any time, but Harvard, when it takes the time and trouble to “point” for any particular game it desires to win more than any other, is the hardest eleven in the United States to conquer. If memory not at fault, Harvard is the only eastern eleven which has gone to Pasadena on New Year day. and brought back a victory, and last week it produced a great surprise for the foét ball world in defeating Yale. Harvard had a great coaching sys- tem and, as one Harvard man in au- thority at Cambridge told the writer last year, “We can beat almost any team when we try to point for that 1eam alone.” - No small part of Har- vard's success on the gridiron is due to accurate scouting. and accurate scouting is not easy, as many a foot ball coach who has builded on inac- curate information will verify. Probably the biggest foot ball sur- prise of last Saturday in the east was the victory Rutgers won over ‘West Virginia. That was about as much expected as was Illihois’ vic- tory in its game with Ohio State. From reports, it seems that West < Virginia started. second-string men, figuring Rutgers weaker than really was.

This time the Marylanders hope to even the series and have been carefully pointing for the event.

Steamrolier on Offense. On offense the team has the crush- ing power of a steamroller. It is not a fast team. Plays go delibe:ately and the reverse plays and ball jug- glery are not done with impressive celerity.

In short, Laf. is not so fine an offensive t Penn State or Notre Dame, ment of inside tackle drive cepted. In this respect, powerful line tearing holes and Bren- nan going through ahead of Elllott, a crack ball carrier, Lafayette may be regarded as unequaled. Her punts, which were fair, were covered {n air- tight fashion. From end to end no more formidable line has been seen by the writer this season and Schwab is the best guard. yette as l I FOCH GVES UTH BRIK, BUTFOR 60D PURPLSE NEW YORK, Novembder £l..-Babe Ruth, the home run king, todsy was the proud ssessor of the brick which will be the first one l1aid in the new Knights of Columbus head- arters building.
