D. C. Teams Underdogs in Saturday Tilts : G. W. in Dire Straits for Navy Game. ALL THREE AWAY | FOR BIG BATILES @. U., Maryland and G. W. Held Likely Losers—Terps Due to Beat Hopkins. BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL college foot ball teams face their games the last of this week with a feeling that they may make out much better than the majority of people anticipate. Of course, things | may turn out differently and all three of the elevens that have games may flunk entirely, but that certainly is not the way they feel about it. Georgetown, George washington, and Maryland all have an idea that when the sun sets Saturday night they will not have disgraced themselves by any means. Not many people look forward to & victory for either Georgetown, George ‘Washington or Maryland on Saturday. It is thought generally that Maryland will defeat Hopkins tomorrow, but the Saturday games @ different matter. town to Detroit to face an stood ai L] Cornell thinks it has a chénce to| beat Penn in the biggest game of the for both schools.

EW YORK, November 36—An even dozen games comprise the Eastern foot ball slate for to- morrow — Thanksgiving day — but only four of them invoive major elevens. Heading the list by right of age will be the thirty-seventh clash at Phila- delphia between Pennsylvania and Cor- nell.

Meeting Notre DameiNotlvzing New to Sasse, Army’s Mentor By the Assoclated Press. EST POINT, N. Y., November 26.—Msj. Ralph I. Sasse, late of the Tank Corps and now the major domo of Army's foot ball forces, has no illusions about this foot ball game the Oadets are going to play with the Notre Dame Baturday. But he's not particularly ap- prehensive about it either. The gallant major, an end of fair capabilities at the Military Academy back in 1916 or so, visited in the Mid- west last week end with some of his assistants and saw the South Bend fiyer stalled against Northwestern for three quarters only to tear things open in the final period. He came back and told his own eleven about it. And ap- parently the matter now has been | dropped until Saturday. “How do I feel about it?” he chuckled as he danced around, first on one foot, then on the other, in a skimpy flannel base ball suit that held back little of practice fleld. “Well, I'll tell you. I ate some ter- rapin last night, and then I had a welsh rarebit and I tell you I don't feel s0 good. “But what's the use of kidding. Notre Dame didn’t look much different last Saturday than Zhe{ did the first time I ever saw them back in 1913. They came up to the point and beat us about 35 to 13. Rockne was captain and end and every time he'd clap his hands they'd score a touchdown. Then he'd clap his hands again and say ‘Come on, | boys, let's score another.’ line replacements are none too strong. But even so it seems jor may bhave something to shoot Notre Dame that the pigskin world isn't ex- pecting. ‘The squad of 38 players, with Maj. Basse and a corps of assistants in com- mand, will leave here on s special train at 6 pm. tonight for Chicago. Army will practice on Soldier Fleld Friday.

Down South, where Thanks- giving foot ball has a big place, Alabama and Tulane go into action against Georgia and Louisiana State.
