The grind of successive hard games has leit both with a horde of badly bruised and broken players, some of the athletes being damaged so severely that it is. daubt- ful if they will be of much use to their teams during the remainder of the season. i This is particularly unfortunate for the two institutions, as they have many important engagements ahead. Georgetown is due to face the 3d Army Corps Area cleven, an exceptionally sturdy aggregation, at Grif- fith Stadium Saturday, and has in prospect tilts wth Boston College, Bucknell and Tulsa. Maryland, host to North Carolna at College Park this week end, will encounter later Yale, North Carolina State, Catholic IFFICULT early schedules are beginning to affect the Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins. Thes Georgetown has three regulars on the sidelines, Capt. Paul Florence, all- ®outh Atlantic end; Eddie Snell, an- other flanker, and Heine Jawish, jumping guard, belng the casuals Jaavish and Snell may be sent into action Saturday, but the return of Florence is not likely. The Hilltop captain suffered quite a battering in the game with the Marines more than | three weeks ago, and emerged from the conflict with a weakened knee. Fqr a time the injury was not re- garded as especially serfous. It was | thought a week or two of rest and treatment would see Florence ready for further service. The injured mem- ber, however, has not responded readlly to the care bestowed upon it and now the Hilltop coaches fear the team will be without its leader for some while. Florence's loss is a s vere blow to the Hilltoppers, for he is an exctwtional wingman and the team can ill-adurd to lose any of its pla) ers right now. Maryland was Jjolted yesterday when 4t was discovered at John Hough's ankle was broken instead of wrenched in the game with V. P. L last week. Hough, a former Tech High boy, playing at guard, has been considered the College Parkers’ most dependable lineman. The injury is expected to keep him out of action least a month. Other Marylanders are Msted as casuals, but their injurfes are of the minor variety and they ought to be available for the battie with the Tarheel e will be no games for cripples. Catholic Unixersity is pointing care- fully for its Saturday engagement with Providence College, at Provi- dence, the first game for the Brook- landers in New England since 1914. Only a light drill was in order yester- day, but more strenuous work was scheduled for today, and tomorrow | the usual midweek heavy scrimmage will be staged. The squad was aug- rday by the return of Toby May, ty tackle 'last year. With the exception of Northrop, all of the .squad is -in good condition physically, and this player probably will be ready for the week end scrap. —~ A Kicking game Will be attempted by George Washington when it faces the Marines at Nortolk Saturday, ac- cording to the planas of Coach Quig- ley, The defensive play the Hatchetites against Drexel last week was quite impressive, and a repetition of this good work, with Pryor punt- ing in his accustomed form, might hold the Marines to a low score. The George Washington men came out of the Drexel game In good physical condition, and are to be driven through scve brisk drills this week. Gallandet fs to be given rudl- mentary drills this week in prepara- tion for the St. Joseph's game in Philadelphia. The Kendall Green squad includes a number of players well versed {n foot ball, but so far team play has been rather ragged, especially in the line.

DUE TO OPEN TODAY | Today's high schoo! game was postponed on account of raim. Gridiron warriors of Central and Eastern Highs were expected to meet in the initlal contest of the annual high school foot ball cham- plonship serles today at 3:15 o'clock in Wilson stadium, weather condi- tions permitting. This morning Prineipal Hart of Eastern called a special assembly of students, which gave members of the foot ball squad a spirited ovation. Year after year the East Capital voungsters have fal- tered before the Blue and White, but { bright. Central counting heavily upon its speedy backfield to evade the slower terners. Mike Gordon, | Marvin Wire, Blinks Johnson and Guy Harper will compose the Blue and White’s backfleld. Because of this morning’s rain the ground in the stadium is apt to be soggy and the chances are that both teams will de- pend on straight line play, with few: er end runs. Wet grounds oftentim develops much fumbling, especially when so-called trick plays are at- tempted. ° Jack Smith or Beckwith probably will do the punting for Eastern to- day. During the past several days Coach Guyon has been striving to develop an overhead attack. Hook has been heaving the oval with neat. ness and dispatch to Smith or Beck with. It is likely that Eastern will uncork several passes toda: Victory for Eastern today would place it in an enviable position, for it would have one win tucked away before meeting Western Friday. Western was forced to cancel its game with Swavely today, due to its numerous {injured players.

HICAGO, October 23—Strength, more strength, was the demand of ‘ coaches of western conference elevens yesterday and last night when they had their charges on the field for the first going over since Saturday’s games, which, for the nonce, have eliminated five teams from championship consideration. A z At Madison, the Wisconsin eleven, which piled up the worst defeat in Indiana’s history Saturday, 52-0, was admonished to forget that | strength display, and to build against the formidable Minnesota Gopliers, they will entertain this week end at Wisconsin’s homecoming. Wisconsin is undefeated for the conference championship, and Minne- sota will make its big ten 1923 debut. That setto promises to be the day's feature contest in the western conference.
