y branches Of athletics
which each club will support. What the local
amateur base ball league will accomplish, the
chances for q good and profitable season in the
SOULS and shells on the river and the work of
the feet-footed sprinters Of the cinder track
are all matters of discussion.
But in it all there is only conjecture and little

club rooms and in whichthe stories of last years
conquests and defeats are again gone over has
been done toward the make up Of the teams
The Georgetown University and the Y. M. C.
| A. are in fairly good shape. while the Columbia
Athletic Club will be able to get up a team, but
| from the expression made by players who
| were interested in that team last year there
does not seem to be any great spirit Of enter
prise among them and unless some one takes
] the matter in hand at once and devotes his
entire attention to it there is little chance that
much will be accomplished or that even any
sort OF team will be placed in the field. The
club is also handicapped by the fact that they
have no athletic grounds at present and the
prospects Of getting them are not any brighter
than they were some months ago.

and generally improve the condition of the

The Georgetown College team will probably
be one of the best ever organized in this city,
and should be able to place in tho
field nine which will meet very favor
ABLY with any college team in the country.
A good schedule of games heretofore printed in
The STAR have been arranged. and the willing.
ness Of the faculty to allow the team to make
trips away from the city will no; only improve
the team itself but will aid he college and make
, its reputation more WIDESPREAD.
