L SPORTS. LITTLE KNOWN OF DREXEL ‘OR WASHINGTON COLLEGE However, Hilltoppers Disposed of Pennsylvanians Easily Last Season and Old Liners Scored on BY H. C. BYRD. REXEL INSTITUTE and Washington Coliege present mlore srmidable opposition to Geogretown and the University of Mar: and in opening foot ball games here Saturday than the majority of persons think likely. Both usually are in what might be called | a lower f foot ball than the Hilltoppers and Old Liners, but both nevertheless make great efforts to turn out strong teams. And many times the supposedly weaker combination gets the upper hand at the beginning of a game and wins. It is possible that may happen in either of tne two conte to be played here Saturday. Of course, the chances are that Georgetown and Maryland will emerge from their opening games with victories. On form at least, guaged on performances of recent vears, both local schools should win, but form of recent years in foot ball has come to be noticeable at times because of its offness. Which is remindful of a coach in a big middle western miversity who had scheduled a game on the first day in October with Nebraska. This coach was asked “Isn’t that a pretty strong team to play for your first game; do you think you can win?” To which the coach replied in astonishment “Beat them! Certainly, I think we'll beat them, or [ wouldn't have scheduled them.” Tt is noteworthy that Nebraska won that game and also that it was not scheduled the following year. €0 once In a while the team that | yvesterday for foot ball equipment, ol ces any. | and they will take their first workout ol @ ood Opener proves AnY- | g, iy gl probability.
