BY JOHN B. KELLER. G EORGETOWN and West Virginia will be renewing a foot ball rivalry that began 27 years ago when they take the field at 2 o'clock Saturday in Griffith Stadium for the banner num- ber of the Hoyas' homecoming day program. It was back in 1902 that teams representing these institutions first opposed on the gridiron. Then not until 1926 that the Mountaine the Georgetown triumphed and it was ers and Hoyas clashed again, and stalwarts of West Virginia evened scores. 7 In all Georgetown and West Virginia have met at foot ball four times, their game becoming an annual fixture in 1926. And George- town has won three of the four engagements, sweeping the field in 1927 and struggling to victory on the Hilltop University'’s homecoming day last year. This year's renewal of the con- flict promises to be filled with thrills, although West Virginia’s record for the season at first glance does not seem as impres- sive as Georgetown’s. The Moun-| taineers are pointing for the con-, test, however, and should put on | the fleld Saturday a team quite ready to test the Hoyas to the ut- most. Just how much Georgetown defeated West Virginia by in 1902 is not recalled by any now at the Hilltop, but there are many around the university who re- member the surprising defeat sustained by the Hoyas three years ago when the Mountaineers were encountered on the gridiron for the second time. Grab Game From Air. Victory was snatched from George- town's grasp then in the waning mo- ments of the fray. Taking the lead in the first period when Thompson scored | a touchdown and O'Neil added a point with a kick to overcome a West Virginia advantage gained from Morrison's crossing of the Georgetown goal, the Hoyas made the count 10 to 7 in their favor in the third period when O'Neil, kicking from placement, registered a field L whuaky ‘Mountaineers had been checked time after time when they tried running plays and their vaunted aerial attack easily stopped. As the game neared its end it seemed West Virginia was doomed to defeat. But the break came when a Geol wn_ball toter fumbled on his 40-yard lne and a Mountaineer fell on the pigskin. West Virginia launched an offensive that all but swept the Georgetown team off its feet and with only a few plays quickly had the ball within 16 yards of goal. Here the Hoya forward wall braced and with three plays West Vir- ginia could make no headway. So the Mountaineers went into the air on fourth down and a pass, Morrison to Glenn, was completed for & touchdown. All Georgetown Since. That was the last time West Virginia ever threatened to overcome & a town team. The following year George- town with Bobby Nork, running wild during his rather short stay in the game. won 25 to 0. The Mountaineers simply could not stop Nork. He scored four touchdowns for the Hoyas. Last year, the Mountaineers put up 8 harder bat- tle, but were handed & 12-to-0 defeat. "This time, West Vifginia promises to give Georgetown & real battle.

Va., Novem- ber 14.—Although he has been far below his 1928 standard as a punter, Eddie Bartrug, West Virginia’s tall halfback, has given indication this week in practice that he might return to his old form and in that event stage a kicking duel with Capt. Jim Mooney, Georgetown's star tackle and booter, when the Moun- taineers and Hilltoppers meet in their annual game at Washington Saturday. Last season Bartrug was the sensation g the East as a punter and intercepter passes, but he has failed to measure up to his 1928 performances as yet His greatest performance in 1928 was tered against Georgetown, despite the fact that the Hilltoppers won the game 12-0 and snapped a seven- g.me winning streak. ~Three times artrug kicked out of bounds on the Georgetown 8-yard line or closer, on all three occasions from midfield. Mountaineers are still talking about a g}ly which resulted after one of these icks, however, and incidentally started Lou Little's team to victory. It was Johnny Bogak’s 60-yard run from scrim- from behind his own goal line. g’s spotty performances this bout face.” His first good exhibition of the season came in the Detroit game when the Mountaineers made a futile effort to outgain the Titans through the medium of Bart- rug’s kicking after their passing attack | bad failed. | ‘With the likellhood that the West ! Virginia running and passing attack will be tuned up considerably and there being a possibility that Bartrug can equal Mooney's punting, Georgetown may find the Mountaineers tougher than they anticipate.

All the encounters are to start at 3:30 o'clock except the Devitt- Georgetown Freshmen contest, which is to get under way a half hour \ earlier. Tech is expected to win rather handily over Business, which has been decisively defeated by the other public school elevens. Victory would give the McKinley eleven an undisputed championship, with four wins in as many starts, and its second title in as many seasons. Hap Hardell, Tech coach, was not decided today whether he would start his entire first-string eleven against the Stenogs. He | emphasized, however, that Tech was not viewing the outcome with | too much confidence, though naturally the McKinely team does not | fear Business so much as the other | brushed aside. So far Business has scored not a single point in its series games while | its opponents have been amassing a | total of 118, The Stenogs have bowed | to Western, 0 to 41; Central, 0 to 31, and Eastern, 0 to 46. | Tech, in its three games, has regis- | tered a total of 40 points to 8 for its | opponents. The Hardell-coached eleven downed Eastern, 14 to 2; Central, 12 to 6, and Western, 14 to 0. ‘This Gonzaga-St. John’s battle should be a wow. Both teams have shown a deal of strength and the keen rivalry will conduce to spirited battling. For a time it was thought that the game | might be switched to the Griffith or | Eastern High School Stadiums, but it has been decided to go through with it on the Gonzaga fleld as originally planned. Possesing one of the best teams it has had in years, St. John's is looked upon as having a real chance to conquer Gonzaga and avenge previous lickings. | Paulie Byrne, erstwhile Georgetown and | Loyola of Baltimore athlete, taking hold | of "the Cadet grid squad for the first | time this season, has contrived to de- | velop a formidable eleven. | It would seem that St. John's and Gonzaga are well matched from their respective showings against the formid- able Georgetown Prep eleven.

Overcoming the mndlelr of a line ‘made up largely of inexperienced play- ers, the Devitt eleven under Coach Jim McNamara has come along in surpris- ing shape, to suffer just one defeat in five games.

Charlotte Hall defeated Landon, 34 to 0, earlier in the campaign. Landon has played only two regular games, having lost to St. John's by a big mar- gin in addition to Charlotte Hall. Georgetown Prep is expected to offer Swavely plenty of opposition. The Manassas scholastics defeated Business early in the season, 13 to 0, in the Virginia town, but since have played no strictly District teams.
