And well they may do so, too, because all of them * have plenty of work cut out before the #cason is finished. Gallaudet and Amer- fcan University do not mect as big teams as Georgetown and Maryland, but for them their schedules are just 8= difficult and the problems of their coaches fully as perplexing; for be it known that cach local school has in front of it a difficult schedule, a sched- ule hard enough to tax its whole resources Catholic University is the first with a real game, the Brooklanders going North_right on_their opening date to meet Boston College. Coach Jack Mc- Auliffe knows that he has a strenuous | sfternoon in front of him September 29, even if he gets his team in the best possible shape. Catholic University never has won a foot ball game from Boston College. Plenty of Hard Games. After Catholic U. geis its test at Roston, the other colleges get down to brass tacks in mecting real opponents. University of Maryland entertains at College Park the following Saturday University of North Carolina. and the Tarheels ought to have one of their greatest teams. _Carolina beat Mary- Jand last year. 7 to 6.

None of the local coaches is particu- | larly optimistic about their prospects, | | but in two or three is noted a much | | less pessimistic strain than was evident | | last scason. Lou Little at Georgetown | feels that he has a real problem on his hands in replacing some of the men he | | lost by graduation last Spring, espe-| | cially Grigsby. who was one of the best | | centers in the East. and wes mentioned for all-America honors by many writers. To offset the loss of Grigsby it scems | | that Steve Barabas is showing vast im- | | provement over his play of last season and bids fair to be a brilliant backfield | performer, and it is_said that he is { whon ville Al Stars and Berwyn A.

Adzir, Dixie Pig hurler. held the All Stars to four hits today as his mates gathered ten. Frank Corkins wielded [ the biggest bat for the victors. hitting safely three out of four tries. It s likely that a doubls-header will be arranged between Dixie Pig and the All Stars to settle supremacy. doing so well that Little expects to build his backfield around him. And thus it might be stated of other cases, | cases where a man was lost whose place may not be adequately filled, but where some other man shows unexpected | | strength in another position to make | up for it. | | Little's main problem right now| | scems to be to develop just one man | who can forward pass with the same | accuracy and coolness shown by Nork | whe nthat young man was heavnig the | ball for the Blue and Gray. Not so much | was heard of him, but it is a fact that Nork's absence may be felt more than that of any other man Little lost. But whatever may have been lost and whatever may be gained in the way of capable material, Little feels better over his prospects now than he did at.this time a year ago. Whatever may be the | result of his season, Little is of the | opinion that his outlook is brighter than | than last September. C. U.
