The streets are full OF people who are
hobbling along with canes and crutches,
or who have their arms in sings or

These are not included in, the official
list It is therefore safe to say that
fully 26o people in this neighborhood

There have been other games already this

with the Thanksgiving day game between
the Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown

neighborhood of 5000 people on the ground

Robert Carmody. right end and captain
for Georgetown, is recognized by al as
thorough foot ball player. He knows
the game well, uses good head work, and
gets more out of the team than any other
TWO men on the team would. He is an ex-
cellent man in his position. Being a good
interference bl eaker and tackler he can be
called on at any time to carry the ball,
ana seldom, if ever, fails to make a gain.

Georgetown had a comparatively easy thing
of 1t and did up Columbia by a score of II
to U.
Georgetown undoubtedly took deeply to
heart the drubbing they got at the hands
of the boys from the University of Virginia
and since then have been practicing like
demons. They have been putting some extra
hard work at secret practice in a secluded
field, where even half their fellow students
from the college are not allowed to see
what Is going on. Wagonhurst, who has
been coaching the Georgetown team this
fall. is an old-time Princeton foot ball play
er and afterward played with the Cniver-
sity of Pennsylvania. He knows the game
for all 1t Is worth. and has taught his team
a number CT new tricks since their recent
defeat. He claims that he may be able to
spring something of a surprise on the Co.
lumbia boys next Thursday afternoon.

some srew5ome experiments. When the

an agent of death. Mr. Edison was con-

experiments made by him to test the COM

various intensities many painful animal
executions were necessary. Mr.. EGison's
most valuable friend and assistant, Charles
Bachelor, barely evaded the distinction of
officiating as a sacrifice on the altar of
experimental science. He was mendng

longer time They have not allowed any
grass to get started under their feet this
fall, but on the other hand have kept the
sod at Capital Park pretty well trodden
down. Every afternoon a big coach takes
the team from the club house to the park
and there they have put in each day a good
afternoons hard play. There are a large
number of foot ball men in the club. and
the result is that they have been able to
put up a good scrub against the regular
team and give them all the chance they
needed. Practice here has also been secret
and 1t is probable that a number of big sur
prises in the way of new systems and
tricks will be sprung the public before
the second half Of the great game is COM
pleted. The Columbia team is rather bet
ter of in point of age and in years of serv-
Ice. having a large number of men who
played foot ball at college before they
ISOLATED themselves with the club. The
majority of the team played here last year
and have the advantage that comes frcm
working together.
The team has not yet been decided on
beyond all chance of change, but the team
as ii stands today and as it will line up
against Georgetown next Thursday is as
fOlloHS: Randolph and r.4-on, ends: Wells
and johnson, tackles; Rainier and Dickin-
son, guards; Swart, cedtrr: Seton, Quarter
back; Camp and Dowd, half backs; Shields,
fGn back; substitutes, Veazey, MauDin,

ball player. He was in the c. A. C.'s win
ming junior crew this past summer and is

johnson and Wells, who play tackles are
both seasoned players who are always sure
to give an account of themselves on every
occasion. Wells was on the Lafayette team
for four years and has also played for three
or four years in this city. Johnson was a
member of the Y. VI. c. A. team last year
and is considered one of the best foot ball
players in the District.
Jack Rainier and Dickinson have been
too long with the Columbia Athletic Club
TO make their appearance on the field any
thing of surprise. Both are seasoned
athletes and know the game from the first
principle to the last. Rainier is now on
his fourth year with the G. \. C. team
Dickinson was with the team last year but
did not play regularly on the eleven
Swart. who will play center next Thurs
day is a heavy. sturdy player. He was with
the team last year, making his first ap-
pearance then. Seton was a substitute
last year and is bound to make good
showing.

Camp and Dowd, the two half backs, are
good men in their places. Camp was for
four years on the team at Lafayette and
for two years at the University of Pensyl-
vania. He and Randolph have been coach
ing the team this fall, and the improve
ment in play which they have brought
about has been something remarkable
Dowd is better known as Tommy Dowd,
and as a base ball and foot ball player has

Both teams have been practicing hard of
late and would seem to be in the very
pink or condition. Neither one has had a
nard game within the past week, and the
result Is that they will both go into the
game next Thursday with men that are
not at all the worse for wear. 1t is a diff

certainty as TO the merits of the two teams

but whether they will be able to repeat the
dose next week is something that no one

to censure ON account of fumbles that can

fumbles that Georgetown's team has made
this season have been the fault of the car

backs.
