.Meeting strong .teams,

means little to Washington and Lefe,

because it has never shunned themost difficult competition it could jfind. For years the Generals have

been playing hard games almostevery Saturday of the gridiron sea-son. And it seems that the Lexing-

ton school always is able to turn out

a team capable of making a good

Showing, no mutter wjiat its opposi-

tion is.This year seems to he no different

a? far as material is concerned. Thesquads started practice Monday withabout as good prospects as it hashad in years. Three good backs wereInst, but others will be available who©tight to fill their shoes very ac-

ceptably. Whitlock, Rauber andPalmer were exceptional players, but

it is doubtful if either was as good

as Billy. Lott promises to be. Lottwas unable to play last season be-cause of a broken ankle, but is onthe job now. Ho not only is a bril-liant ball carrier. but a good

kicker as well. Had he not been in-jured he was expected to outshinePalmer and Rauber a year ago. Thennlv linemen who graduated wasHolt, but as a whole it is thoughtthat this year's line should be muchbetter than the one that held downthe first line of defense in 1926.

“Horse” Tips, captain of the team,is certain to be the steady, dependa-ble player he has been for the lasttwo seasons. He player fullback' in jbis freshman year and his firstVarsity season, but last Fall wasused in the line part of the time.He probably will go back behind theforwards. Hughes, a lineman whowas not eligible last season, andWagoner, who was not in schoollast season, may also be available.

l*at Herron, former Pittsburghplayer* again will coach the team.Davis, star end of two years ago,

is to he in charge of the freshman•quad and Palmer wull help HerronWith the varsity."-" ?

players on j9e fiSEi yesterday at Uni-versity of ‘MSbylaniST 'SVhere the Devil-£ogs will remain for three weeks ofpreliminary practice. Prominent•tmong the new men who will be on

the Marine eleven is Alan Shapley,star back of the Navy the last threeseasons. Shapley was the outstandingNavy figure in the Army-Navy con-test in Chicago.

Gaulle Grigsby yesterday was elect-ed*to captain the Georgetown team.He takes the place of Jerry Thomp-

son, halfback, who is unable to playthis season. Grigsby really has notbeen given the credit he deserves forhis play as pivot man on the Blueand Gray. He never has been flashy,

but without him the Hilltoppers wouldhave had a mighty big hole to fill and

when he finishes it will he quiteawhile before a man as good is found.

All the; men invited back at Mary-land -for preliminary practice are onhand except Ed Tenney. The 1925regular qnartenbaeji, who was outlast year because of an operation forappendicitis, was given permission toremain away until Friday. Lombard,

former Central High tackle, probably

will not return to the university. John! Leatherman. big end in 1926, was| back yesterday and will be in uni-form today.

Catholic University and GeorgeWashington foot ball candidates, re-porting yesterday for the first time,
