MERICAN UNIVERSITY for the second consecutive week is the only local university with a foot ball game scheduled on its home field. It is b0 meet Shepherd College tomor- row at 2:30. Just what kind of an opponent for American University Shepherd will be 1s not known. The West Virginia school has never been strong in its gridiron activities, but that means little as far as the local game is concerned, because this year American U. is woefully weak. A week ago it was felt that Shen- And?h, wl:k:lll ‘mwh“h::" ‘1pe: kll‘p pretty regularly by Washington schools, offered the Methodists their best chance for a victory, but just the op- posite proved to be the case, Coach Young of A.

He knows better than ;ny M;E else how weak his own team , and consequ optimistic in regard to any college eleven. a game with S far as the other local colleges are concerned, they all are either away or leaving tonight or _tomorrow morning. Georgetown is at Boston for its annual setto with Bocton College, George Washington is at Iowa City to meet the University of Iowa, Catho- lic University is playing Duquesne University at Pittsburgh tonight, Uni- versity of Maryland leaves tonight for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Gal- laudet tomorrow morning goes , Pa., to face Pennsylvania Mil- has some ln)ur}r kfield, still is & powerful €leven, and well able to take care of itself against a mighty good foot ball team, as the game it put up out at Michigan State last | week well attest | Catholie University is hoping for a victory at Pittsburgh, although it knows it will be against a team that WS | strong enough to battle Georgetown and | Western Maryland te 0-0.tles. Coach Bergman has a lot of confidence in his men despite the fact that he has an exceptionally light backfield. In reality, Bergman's backs are too iight for col- lege foot ball, twp of them being under 150 pounds. IEORCGE WASHINGTON is meeting a Western Conference eleven for the first time and is anxious to make a good showing. The Colonials feel that they are stronger than they seem to be if judged on a baais of their contest with Tulsa University and hope to show this by holding Iowa to & close score, with a slim outside chance of bringing back a sealp. Iowa is not as| stfong as usual, hot having recovered | from its difficuities of two years ago | with the Western Conference. Maryland apparently will be against the strongest Virg.nia Polytechnic In®ti- tute team it has faced in years, if the showing of the latter against Kentucky | is a good criterion. The Old Line school, | despite the fact it tied Kentucky, while | V. P. I lost to the same school, did not | make such a record in the statistics as | the Blacksburg school made. V. P, L made 15 first downs Kentucky while Maryland got only six, and dur-i ing the first half had Kentucky backed up it _its goal line m’lcflcdly 11]1 the e. This bids fair be the best game of the year between schools in the northern end of the Southern Con- ference. Gallaudet is meeting a Pennsylvania military college team which seems to be not anywhere near as strong as some of the teams turned out by that school. However, the local institution is in the same boat and probably does not have much of a chance for success. 'O Southern schools play in the North tdmorrow—Virginia at Har- vard and Mississipp! College at Colgate. Neither seems to have any chance whatsoever to win the powerful and physical qualificatiors 1o play great foot ball any time it finds itself, and its followers are sgainst_hope that tomorrow will be the day. However, as far as any suggestion in past games indicate that Virginia has a chance against Harvard is concerned, such a suggestion simply does not exist And, while virtually nothing is known of what kind of a team represents Mis- sissippi College, 999 chances out of a thousand it will go back to Mississtppi with a defeat attached to it by just about the size of score that Colgate cares to run up. Mississippi College is & denominational school and should not be confused with either of the two State institutions of that State, Univer- sity ;\\r Mississippl and Mississipp! A. and M REGON Univrsity comes from the Far West to play New York Uni- versity. and it, like the Southern schools. is likely to be turned back with an empty hand : has an exceptiona X n doing 5o wel t y Oregon play and won. bul meeting this year's ty eleven is something playing Drake. Every- body who has seen N. Y. U. feels that i is one of the great teams of the country. OWN in North Carolina is to be played one of the contests in which rivalries of long standing are fought out, North Carolina State vs. North Carolina University. As unfruitful as North Carolina State's season has been, everything would take on a golden glow if the State University were to be shoved for the moment into the baci und of a defeat. Until a few years back, the State at Raleigh was the win- & t that people at the State University began to regard the game as “that Carolina luck.” And for & while it did seem that no matter how foot ball the State Univer- sity pl something always happened to give the State College the victory.

Only took three out of | ’“‘TE six, two of the sextet being draws. | But the garrulous gabber is all man., He grabs off the ties as losses and comes up yélling for more action. Whattaman Louie, the barber, would be a fighting man in anybody's country. Louie called Catholic U. over North Carolina State last week because Tom Whelen was in the line-up. And Tom pulled up with two touchdowns in the sack for filflm iht:-l mater, Maryland, barber’s favorite, made it two, but the Navy smacked around the Tiger to make the beard mower look foolish.
