  / This week the Charlottesville eleven hooks up with Virginia Military In stitute and might as well prepare for another real battle. Last wear Viz II to and it will have to play bet ter foot ball than In any of its games so far if it expects to turn the tables on the Lexingtonians this fall. Catholic University started ITS season in way that indicates Athletic Director Charley Moran was right when he made the statement several days ago that the Brooklanders would have a real foot ball team and that 1t would win games. A decisive victory over Randolph Macon was just about what was necessary to put the Brookland players in the right frame of mind to go forward through successful year. Gallaudet was defeated by Western Maryland. and could hardly hope to have done better than 1t did Its opponent had played through three games. while Gallaudet was opening it’s season, enough of an advantage in itself to be decisive. Gallaudet’s showing was credit to itself as a team and as individuals. George Washington went up into Pennsylvania and took the measure of Juniata College by II to 0. The outcome was all the more welcome to the Hatchetites because they had no idea Of the kind of team to which they would be opposed. Just how uncertain the game Of foot ball is and just how easily the tide may be turned could hardly be better Illustrated than by the contest In which Pennsylvania defeated Swarthmore by 13 to 10. Penn had gone across the goal line in the first quarter for what appeared to be a touchdown, but had the ball fumbled. The ball rolled away from the pile and a Swarthmore half back scooped 1t up and ran a little more than 100 yards for touchdown. Later Swarthmore kicked a field goal and got ten made a fine game. But in reality on the strength of the offensive play Penn should have won. almost did win, by 20 to 3, which would have present. ed far different aspect. “Yale must have something” is an expression heard wherever foot ball is mentioned. In two games played against southern elevens on the first two dates it has run up ninety three points. and probably could have made lima was the first to succumb, and then Georgia went down. Something of the power of the Yale machine was shown by the fact that 1t scored TWEEN ty-three points on Georgia in the first quarter. Indications are that Yale has one of the greatest gridiron ma chimes in it’s history.
