headwork, and can play any position on the
team. He is a townsman of Sulhvan's, and
together they have figured in college athletics
for many years. having entered Fordham to-
gether and come to Georgetown at the same
time. Carmody is twenty-four years of age
and will graduate from the medical school
next spring.
John J. Murphy, who plays fullback this
year. is one of the stars of the game. He
started playing for Bucknell, then went to
Princeton, where he trained for quarter, and,
after securing the position. left to take a law
course at Georgetown. He has played at
almost every position, but excels at quarter
and fullback. he makes dropkicks from mid
kicking. He is the fastest runner on the team,
and at lodging, bucking, and taking he has
few, if any. superiors, in the country.
Vincent Smith. '95 weighs but 1873 pounds,
but he is by no means small in any character
istic but stature. He is giant of the grid
iron so far as all-around, clever football play
ing goes. Quarter back is his position. He
is twenty years of age.
Morris Kirby, '96, is a fullback, but plays
well at any position behind the line. His line
bucking is on the battering-ram order, and is
also fierce tackler.
William O'Leary, SO, is a sixteen-year-oId
giant, who graduated from the second team
of last year. He is very strong and promises
to become an excellent linemap.
Robert D. Douglass, '96, is small man for
a rush line, but by his celebrity, strength, and
head work fills the position in good style. He
is also a second team graduate.

The annual Thanksgiving Day football

the contest next Thursday afternoon between
Georgetown College and the Columbia Ath-

games in point OF interest and attendance.
The National Baseball Park viii be, as usual,
the scene OF battle, and the members Of both
teams have been in hard training for two
months or more in preparation for this regu-
lar event Of the local football season.
More talk is being heard about the coming
game than ever before this early, and quite
number OF wagers have been made on the re-
suit The Georgetown supporters have so
far been rather chary about putting Up and
want odds The Columbia boys are ready TO
bet but want q fair bet But during the
early part OF the coming week there will be
plenty OF speculation as TO the outcome OF the
match.
In order to correct the mistakes of previous
years with respect to keeping the crowd in
hand proper arrangements have been made
by MANAGER Mckee, Of the 9. A. c.. which

It is the unanimous opinion Of the c. A. c.
men that they viii win the game in a walk,
and their enthusiastic friends, associates, and
admirers are willing TO back up this opinion
with hard cash. If ever club members were
loyal the c. A. c. boys are, and their eleven

ASTONISHING RESULTS.

Skeptical People.

1t is a common remark that the above spec
ia,ist can cure disease when all else fails. This
has been proved in hundreds of instances
right here in Washington. and when wethink
that nearly all who 90 to him for treatment
are those who have been the rounds of all
other schools of medicine and have failed to
receive any lasting benefit, we think it all the
more wonderful that his record of cures is so
large. The following is q brief synopsis of
cases that have been successfully treated dur
ing the year just ended. This is an actual
record. transcribed from the books OF the
Washington institute, giving list of cures
actually performed, and guaranteed abso-
lutely correct:
The Washington times., 1894-11-25

This makes an average OF fifty-flye cases
each week that have been successfully treated
and cured during the year. This record,
which is open for the inspection OF all, speaks
for itself. It has been the most successful
since the opening of this prosperous institu-
ton. yet the coming year bids fair to outrank
all its predecessors. Already the Offices have
been enlarged three times, and extra assist
ants have been employed TO attend to the
constantly increasing practice that has been
so lavishIy bestowed upon this eminent spe-
eiaist.
The Office is very centrally located at COS

Thirty-four men have been in training since

Georgetown's team is much lighter than it
was last year, the average difference in
weight being nearly eleven pounds, but it is a
stronger all-around team TO play under this

quicker and better trained. Last year when
mass-momentum plays were permitted weight
was the greatest consideration. This year
snap and speed are winning the victories.
Those who but casually follow football may
be tempted to underr ate Georgetown's 5
strength. because the games which they have
played so far this season have not been as
brilliant as they might have been. 1t is a
mistake TO take these games as a criterion
for the reason that Georgetown has not as yet
this season played its full team in any single
game, with the exception of the game with

His only fault is that he halls from Kansas,
where he first saw the light nineteen years

Samuel A. Boyle, special, Is another new
star. Although but seventeen years OF age
he is considered by Georgetown men to be
one of the best ends in the country. He is in
every play and never gets tired. His first
playing was done at Wilson Academy in
Massachusetts. The Georgetown people did
not discover his worth until this yoar, he hav-
ing never limited that he had ever seen foot
ball before. Great was the surprise when he

STRONG IN THEIR HALFBAcKs.
In halfbacks Georgetown has two wonders,
big Mike" Mahoney and shorty Bahen,
the one six feet four inches. the other five feet
four inches, the first, the biggest man playing
football on a college team. the latter, one OF
the smallest. They are hard men to stop.
Mahoney is fierce rusher, playing down OPP
position and never stopping until about half
of an opposing team gets hold of him. He
runs 100 yards in 10 2-5 seconds, and is an all
round athelete. He is twenty years of age,
and weighs in: training EOS pounds. He has
played on Georgetown's team for three years.
This is the first time he has played regu-
larry at halfback. George Bahen makes his
gains by fast running, clever dodging and
wriggling. You think you have him and
then you haven't" " is the way one of his ad-
mirers described his playing. He is very
good in breaking up interference, and sure
tackler The maunersjn which he brought
down Wharton in the Pennsylvania game set
the cranks wild. Iahoney is, also, as can be
surmised, power in breaking up interfer-
ence. Both are varsity ball players and there
are not two more popular men in, the col
lege.
