wmsthere this-year” says. COLONIALS MEET BUTLER, TERPS TACKLE GENERALS Hoyas, Happy Over West Virginia Conquest, Invade Villanova—C. U. Figures Providence Strongest BY H. C. BYRD. | ET-UP games for local col- lege foot ball teams have been few and far between this season, and this week is not an exception. According to the signs by which gridiron com- petition is judged, the teams scheduled to face Georgetown, Catholic University, George Wash- ington, Gallaudet, American U. and Maryland have more than enough strength to disturb any of the coaches who may be disposed to feel more or less at ease. They give every indication of offering perhaps just % little more compe- tition than is good for the peace of mind of any coach. Georgetown, barely over the rejoicing of its triumph over West Virginia, must get ready to face Villanova. one of the | strongest teams in the Middle Atlantic | section, at Villanova. Villanova has | ot been setting the world on fire with | victories, for the simple reason that it, | like Georgetown, has been meeting a lot of powerful teams against which any school would find it difficult w0 clean up. i But whatever the Blue and Gray must face this week, the whole univer- sity is proud of the fine work against West Virginia. The team came through in great shape, and its victory was well deserved. Coach Tom Mills is greatly pleased over the result, as he feels that the team vindicated itself and measured up to what he has felt all season could be accomplished. _ “Certainly, I am_exceedingly pleased over the result of the game with West Virginia, Who wouldn't be? We have worked long and hard under all kinds of disadvantages, and to begin to see the culmination of such efforts natur- ally creates a_very satisfactory feeling. We are u&uble of playing a lot better foot ball, though, than we showed Sat- urday, and I believe we will continue to come along from now until the end of the season.” (OACH DUTCH BERGMAN of Cath- olic University says that he expects Providence College to be the strongest eleven his team has wmet since it played Boston College in the opening game. Providence has a big strong line and several big backs. ana all the re- ports we have indicate that C. U. 18 going to be up against about as strong opposition as it has faced this season. “Providence College apparently is by far the strongest eieven we have met n, “and I t it to be stronger “Norti| Selina. State and almost as_strong @s Boston College. The Providence team played Holy Cross to a standstill in the first half of their game, and last week whipped St. John's of Brooklyn, 33 to 10.” ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY came C through against St. Prancis with- out injuries. Johnny Oliver, Who played part of the game, got by with- out any bad uences and is ex- pected to go- the route against Provi- dénce College. Butler University, which comes here Priday night to meet George ‘Washing- ton, is not so well known in athletics in this section, but nearly always is represented by good teams. Last week Butler lost to Marquette University, 21 to 0, but that is nct an indication that Butler is weak. Nine chances out of ten it was a case of Marquette being strong. as it usually is. | If the Colonials have been making | ogress in their development since Ezy played so well against Iowa, one of the best games of the year may be layed. It is very unlikely, to say the ast, that the game will not measure up because Butler is not strong enough to make things interesting. ALLAUDET, under ordinary circum- stances, would be picked to beat Shepherd College, but because it s so considerably weaker than in for- mer years, and because Shepherd Col- lege seemingly is stronger, it probably will have its hands full. However, the | Kendall Greeners may wind up with & victory. Everybody hopes so. | American University is going up against what apparently is the strong- est small college team in the section | when it faces Randolph-Macon College at Ashland. Considering its showing in the previous contests, it hardly seems possible that the local school can whi) its_sister Methodist institution. Four weeks ago, when Washington | and Lee was badly whipped by Ken- tucky and Maryland tied that school, it seemed very much as if the latter would have a big advantage over the | Generals, However, the present situa- tion is entirely different. Washington and Lee is playing good foot ball, in fact, as good foot ball as any other school in the section. Recently it whipped Virginia 18 to 0, Virginia Polytechnic Institute 7 to 0, and Satur- day it took Princeton into camp 6 to 0. Not only do these results show scoring strength but also a tight defense, | Princeton never had a chance to score against the Generals, except one oppor- | tunity it got as a result of completion of two long passes two or three minutes | after the game got under way. Mary- | land will have to play better foot ball | than it has so far if it is to place its homecoming game this week in the won | column. | It seems too bad that the arrange- | ment of schedules is such that three of the best games that local schools have provided this year should come the same week end. The George Washing- ton-Butler contest is to be played Fri- day night, it is true, but even so, people have only so much money to lay out in the same week for admission to games, Anyway, there should be plenty of good foot ball for partisan supporters, and for the general public, too. 'ODAY is Blue Monday at Cornell. \d The Ithacans, apparently greater ground gainers and generally seem- ing to be a better foot ball team, ac- cording to reports, nevertheless went down before Dartmouth to have their ambitions for an undefeated year shattered. Gil Dobie will not have many words ofy praise for his squad when practice gets under way this afternoon. Cornell gained & good many more than Dartmouth, but could not_take advantage of its opportunities a8 Dartmouth did Georgla Tech fought through a against Pennsylvania, but failed g two goals from touchdowns to win. ‘The Atlanta school went back home t great | Foe Yet. coach has to swallow. It is the kind of defeat about which a coach feels just as helpless as he is. ANY of those that watched the Notre Dame team beat Navy last week have seemed somewhat dis- 'ppointed. ~ Apparently they expected Notre Dame to be a flashy eleven that would gallop around in ‘all kinds of ways, and not a methodical organiza- tion that, through sheer mechanical perfection and manpower, gets its dis- tance in much the same way as other teams. To watch a team like Notre Dame is, for people without a good deal of knowledge of foot ball, the same kind of disappointment that comes to one unfamiliar with the prize ring when he goes to see a bout between two very clever fighters. It seems that neither of the men in the ring is doing anything much, nor trying so very hard. That, however, is a mistaken impression, as both usually are doing so well, and doing it with such mastery of the technique and tactics of boxing, that they, to the uninitiated, are taking it easy. That gives something of a ‘z):ornpnnmn to Notre Dame in foot all. HILE Navy lost to Notre Dame, the Army did not shine with any great brilliance against Pittsburgh. The Soldiers took one of their worst whippings in years out in the Smoky City. four touchdowns being registered against them. Very few elevens in the last few years have crossed the Army goal line that often in one game. Tulane and Tennessee stand pre- eminent in Southern foot ball. lane had it had schedule as that played by the New |. Orleans school is only a conjecture, if one cares to think of it at all, and does not modify in any way thf great victory that belongs to Tulane. 'In the other big Southern contest Tennessee whipped Vanderbilt and did it de- cisively. A good many people will wonder whether or not Tulane is stronfer than Tennessee. The writer a week ago asked Bob Neyland, Tennessee coach, that question and Neyland replied that he thought Tulane the strongest team in the South and that it would defeat Georgia decisively. Tennessee does not meet Tulane, the only game remaining on its schedule being that with Ken- tucky at Lexington, Ky, on Thanks- giving day. 'NIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA appar- ently played better foot ball than it has Bgvmusly shown this sea- son when it“held Virginia Polytechnic Institute to a scoreless tie. That Vir- ginia was up and coming all through the contest is shown by the fact that it was the aggressor, and time after time had’ the Biaeksburg school in a danger spot. North Carolina State sprang a sur- prise by trimming Duke two touch- downs. The Raleigh school has had rough going this season and it was not expected to whip Wallace Wade's men. However, foot ball as it is played today is almost anybody's game any day. CELTICS AGAIN DRUB APACHES SEVERELY Alexandria Team Romps to 25-0 Victory Over D. C. Semi-Pros in Game Here. ‘There was today no question as to the superiority of the Celtics, or, if you will, Northern-Celtics, over the ‘Apaches, who last season won the Dis- trict semi-pro foot ball title.

BIG TRACK SEASON SCHEDULED BY(G. L. Intra-Squad Competition Is Feature—Practice Will Start Today. UTUMNAL track and fleld activi- | tles at Catholic University are| to get away to a flying start at | Brookland today. Under the‘ tuition of Coach Dorsey Griffith | some brisk intra-squad competition is to precede the launching of the Winter schedule in February. Outstanding among these specialties will be a weekly series of handicap | events. The first presentation of this nature is to eventuate at Brookland Bowl next Saturday when, between halves of the Providence College game, a two-mile handicap will be featured. Medals for athletes most. prominent in these meets are to be awarded and trophies of other descriptions will re- ward leaders in each branch of activity. An unusually interesting schedule of ;ixtlndoor meets lnged seven %:cdogr eatures was announced yesterday by Coach Griffith. The big Catholic University indoor event has been set for February 27. Probably the main outdoor offering locally will be a dual meet with either Richmond or Wake Forest at Brook- land, May 14. The latter will be staged in conjunction with the annual Cath- olic University interscholastic track and field carnival. Prospects for the impending track season are unusually bright, according to Coach Griffith. Retaining much of last year’s material, he also is profiting by the acquisition of sophomores as well as foot ball playing trackmen who were not available a season ago due to Spring practice. Gridmen expected to bolster the squad are Francis Donaher, sprints; ‘Tom Campbell, middle distance; How- ard Callender, 220 and 440 yards; Phil Gross, Dan Pyne an Bus Sheary, weight events; Tom Whelan, low and high hurdles; Johnny Oliver, 100 and 220 yards; Paul Smith, javelin, and Edgar The only serious blow suffered by the track team is the withdrawal from school of Jack McGrath, & high and broad jumper of ability. scheduule: Indoors.

EW YORK, November 16.— The usual lull before Thanksgiving day cuts sharply into the national foot ball schedule this week, bubt Notre Dame, Harvard, Tulane and Southern Methodist, among major unbeaten teams, all will be firing away to improve their records. Notre Dame and Harvard appear to be in the toughest spots. The Ramblers will dig in at South Bend to repel the invaston of Southern California’s Tro- jans, who have bowled over six oppo= nents in a row since absorbing s beate ing by St. Mary's of Oakland, Calif. the opening game of the season. On paper, Harvard, only unbeaten and united team in the East, looks too powerful for the Yale Bulldog, but in this ancient rivalry, season records count for less than nothing. Tulane, victorious over Georgia last week, should be able to take it easy against Sewanee, and Southern Meth- ;fll‘st will be a heavy favorite over the avy. A fifth national contender, Tennese see, will be idle until Thanksgiving day, when Gene McEver and his mates close their season against Kentucky.
