Gallaudet Steams Up. BY R. D. THOMAS. EORGETOWN UNIVER- SITY tomorrow night will meet West Virginia Wes- leyan in Griffith Stadium in the first nocturnal foot ball game played here. It will be the last tune-up contest for the Hoyas, who will engage, in order, Western Maryland, West Virginia, Michigan State, Boston College, New York University, Villanova and Detroit. Only the most optimistic Blue and Gray supporters look for Georgetown to get thréugh this schedule undefeated. The Western Maryland game is ac- counted its first acid test, Loyola Uni- versity not having presented the oppo- sition expected. Although the Hoyas are lop-sided favorites to win tomorrow night, the game promises to draw close to a rec- ord crowd. The advance sale is heavy. ord, with 22,000. Cleland had a hand in the promotion of the Marine-Fort Benning game it drew around 19,000. It 1s bable that one of George- town’s night es will set a new mark and that it be beaten by the Catho- e umnrdly-ceorz;.wuhmmn clash, provided the Cai ls and Colonials appear evenly matched.

Frosh Fails to Make McNamara Enthuse for Future. ESPITE the fige showing of his Devitt team against the Cathe olic University frosh, Coach Jim McNamara still is pessi- mistic. In holding the heavy Cardinal cubs to & scoreless tie the Devit team stamped itself as one of the strongest elevens in the local scholastic group, but McNamara's pessimism is based on two points. First, while the defense has been nothing short of startling, the of- fense has not been quite up to snuff. Secondly, the schedue faced by McNa- mara's charges is the heaviest ever booked by that school.
