Washington is great athletic centre, and
out sports receive much attention here
as in any locality in America. The prepon-
derance of young men who are in Government
life and who are therefore free and untram-
meled at the hours usually placed for training
purposes, renders it very easy for the clubs to
get out available men in every class of
athletics. That outdoor athletics is popular
here has been attested in various ways through
local regattas, the championship meeting of the
y. \. u, and later on the football contests of
the college and athletic clubs OF all outdoor
sports football, while the most interesting, is
at the same time the worst abused game from
outsiders, simply because they do not really
understand what they are talking about. The
modern game of football, as played here by
the Columbias and Georgetown and Kendall uni
versities, requires not only trained men of
muscle. Drawn, and skill, but they must possess
a great degree of grit that will enable them to
resist the rushes and tackle the big men with
every confidence in their ability to down
the opposing man, though he be twice as large
Of course, there is some abuse brought into the
game by rough scrmmages, and once in while
accidents occur, as in every other line of sport,
but they are few and far between. Last wear

One incident happened at the Georgetown
mention. Among the spectators was crowd
of yelling students who had a large tally-ho
coach, and they made themselves very abusive

rageous Well, the Georgetown boys took it
good naturedly, and only one break took place,
that being one of the gang hitting little Fem-
ing over the head with his cane. When the
game was over the abusive gang crowded into
their coach, and it being on small declivity, it
upset, and the ringleader of the crowd un-
fortunately broke his leg in the scramble
When the coach was righted the crowd got
aboard, drove off, and left the injured man on
the field to get along as best he could When
Dyer and Mccoy saw this they got out of their
hack, lifted the man in, and carried him into
Lexington for treatment. This generous act
to the most abusive man OF the crowd caught
on, and that night the people of the place
could not shower enough honors on the Wis
itors.

On Tuesday the Columbia Athletics met and
defeated the eleven from Dickinson College in a
hard-fought and stubbornly y-contested game, the
score being to 0. The Columbia boys showed
marked improvement in their game, and it is
apparent that the two games with Princeton

On Tuesday the Georgetown COLLEGE football
team visited Lexington, KY, to play the team of
Washington and Lee University, and after a
good game returned home Victors by the score
of 10 to g. The GeorgetOwners were royalty en-
