The Middies Do Up Georgetown.

The Georgetown football team went to An

team Georgetown went over to play, but
the 'Middes' took it on themselves to do all
the playing, with one exception, and did not
let Georgetown get into the game. at all. The

beat down the rush line of Georgetown,
and their half-backs, whenever they made
a run. were so well protected by the future
admrals that generally touchdown followed.
The game resulted Naval Academy, 62; George

The Games on Friday.

Washingtonians were treated to two foot ball
games on Friday afternoon. The patrons of
the sport had the choice Of seeing the cham
pion Princetons against the Columbia Athletics,
or the match game of the University of Penn
sylvania and the University of Virginia for the
Middle State championship
The game at Capitol Park between the two
universities was attended by a crowd of
something like 700, many ladies being present,
while quite number of private carriages and
drags were within the enclosure. The students
from the University of Virginia came up i'm
large numbers. From their hats and coats
1uttered long ribbons, the colors of their alma
mater. For a time they made affairs lively
with their yells and cries. The Pennsylvanians
sized up larger and stronger than the Vir-
ginians, who were not in it after the game COM
menced, as the 'Pennsy's' ran right over
them and scored touch-downs and goals in a
reckless go-as-you-please sort of way. The
features of the game were the grand kicking of
Thayer, the running of Church, of the Pennsyl-
yanias, and the taekling of Elliott and Dag
gett, of the Yirginias. Mr.. Alan d. Wilson,
manager of Princeton, umpire, while
''Stumpy" Watts, also of Princeton, was
referee. Messrs Meller and Taylor, the gentle
men in charge of the team, say that Washing
ton is becoming a football centre, and the
sport should be encouraged here.
Between three and four hundred people gath
cred on Analostan Island Friday afternoon to
witness the football game between Princeton,
the present champions of America. and the
Columbia Athletic Club. The spectators We're
well rewarded, for never was prettier exhibit
tion of this popular college sport seen in this
city. The Princeton team is the one which has
been finally picked for the season, and unless
some of the players are hurt the same team
will probably play Yale for the championship.
1t was expected that the score would be about
as it resulted, 60 to 0. The Columbias are very
enthusiastic over the excellent showing their
team made against the champions, and look for
great improvement on account of the points
gained. The playing of the Princeton team
was characterized by unexcelled team
