or the other two teams in the intercollegiate
Association, Wesleyan and the University of
Pennsylvania. the latter should win tine con-
test between them, which will be played the
morning of Thanksgiving day in New York.
Wesleyan was defeated on Wednesday by
Brown, but their team is not dismayed and
hopes to win.
LOCAL FOOT BALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
The end of the local championship season ia
also near. Today the Columbia Athletic Club
team plays that of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and though the former should I'M
doubtedly win, the game should be an interest
ing one. With this game decided all eyes will
turn toward Thanksgiving day, when the big
game of the season between the two rivals for
the Georgetown College elevens-will battle
for the prize. Though an unusually large
crowd witnessed the game last year it is be-
hesed that the crowd which will assemble
within the gates of the National Base Ball Park,
just beyond the Boundary on 18th street, on the
coming occasion will be the largest ever pres
ent at any athletic contest in this city. Al
ready tallyhos and coaches have been engaged
for the event Tickets are being sold rapidly
and the outlook is most promising for a big
affair The arrangements to take care of the
spectators will be most complete and nothing
viii be spared to make them comfortable and
satisfied. The position of the field MS regards
the grand stand and bleac il excellent so that
every one will have an excellent opportunity Of
viewing the game from start to finish The
field OF play will be entirely roped off and no
one will be allowed within the lines except the
proper officials. From the form displayed by
both teams it would be difficult matter to
pick the winner, and only hard and sharp
contest will decide which team will be entitled
TO call themselves champions for the ensuing
year.
1t will be an athletic contest well worth going
quite distance TO witness. Both elevens feel
confident. Let The STAR suggest again the alb
solute necessity of deciding before the game
upon suitable and capable men to act as referee
and umpire. Upon these officials will depend
to a great extent the satisfactory termination
of the match.
THE CoLUMBIAs' ELEVEN.
The Columbus are improving in their play each
game and by next week should be in position
to give fine exhibition of foot ball as any
one would desire to witness. Bergen has
instilled considerable ginger into their work and
their game shows the effect of it. Fumblng at
critical points is still the glaring fault. The
team Is practically decided upon and any
changes from i. will DO unlocked for.
Weaver Oh end Is doing first-class work and
breaks up an interference in good shape.
Wilson on the other end is not quite
SO sure but he is hard worker
and good results NAV be expected from him.
Welsh has lost 20 much valuable practice that it
is doubtful whether he will play, even though
he should be so far recovered from his injury
to do SO. The two tackles, Bob Church and
Capt. Wells, are worthy Of positions any
team and will take care of these important
places Old reliable Jack Rainier will be one
guard and Johnson, though new at center, is
an excellent man. Dickinson and Will Church
are making hard fight for the other guard
and who will get the final decision is hard to
say. Burroughs is fixture at quarter,
where he plays a good all-around game. Lewis
and Seton viii be tine backs, with Shields at
full back Seton especially may be depended
upon foT a gain around the end, while Shields
and Lewis are very clever at bucking the line.
GEoRGETowN's TEAM.
Georgetown has an equally strong aggrega-
ton. Back of the line they have good, strong
sprinters, who, if they once get an opening,
will be hard TO catch. Dowd has shown great
Improvement over last year and is playing n
wonderfully strong game. Seger is almost as
good. Capt. Carmody is a cool-headed. active
player and a strong punter The line is very
heavy and has some strong tacklers it,
Eugene Dyer is probably the gem. Murphy at
quarter back is of the most effective play ers
on the team in both offensive and defensive
play. He Is the principal feature of their inter-
ference. Commerford, the guard, is hard
player and good tackler. Both the Mahoneys
are excellent men. Besides these there are
Smith, Bahen, 0'DonneIl. 0'Neil and Horsey.
OTHER TEAMS.
Considering that this Is the first year that the
Y. VI. c. A. have had an organized eleven. they
have a remarkably good team. This is no doubt
due to great extent to the capable teaching Of
ex-Capt. Poe. Townsend is the star of the men
behind the line, though LeeE and Harder viii
reach the mark in time. Capt. Lewis plays a
frst-cigss game at tackle and McCammon is
another strong one. Bright on end is an
celent tackler. and seldom fails to get those who
come around his end.
The Kendalls are in baltimore today to try
conclusions with the Johns Hopkins University.
They can hardly expect to win, but they should
give the Baltimoreans hard fight.
