PROGRAM OF GALLAUDET COLLEGE
Striving for a First-CIass M. A. c.
Team.
ATHLETICS AT GEORGETOWN

tains CT rival elevens. The team Is man
aged this year by Mr.. G. B. Whittocke,
junior from Illinois. The personnel is:
Sinclair, center; Rossou and Brooks,
guards: Dudley and Brockhagen, tackles;
Roth, Haig or Fisher ends; Hubbard cap
tain and Quarter back; Price and Grim,
half backs; Erd. full back.
Sinclair Is from Ohio and Is junior. He
tips the scales at hundred and fifty-five
pounds and has played center on the first
team for the past two years. Rossou Is
from Tennessee, and Is a freshman. He Is
just one behind Sinclair in the matter Of
weight, and has played half back on the
college team for the past three years, two
of them while in the preparatory depart
ment. The breaking of several ribs will
not permit him to be stationed as back
regularly, but If it is thought necessary
he will be put there.
The other guard, Brooks, from Texas, Is
also a member of the freshman class.
Brooks Is the heaviest man on the eleven,
possessing hundred and seventy-four
pounds of avoirdupois. but this is his first
experience in college foot ball.
Roth is a member of the junior class and
comes from Minnesota. "Quick on his feet
and knows all the points of the game"
about describes him. He has been a SUBJ
stitute on the first team for the nast two
years and weighs hundred and forty-fve
pounds of bone and muscle. Just who will
be the other end Is not definitely settled,
but 1t will be either Haig, member of the
Introductory class, from Illinois, or Fisher,
a sophomore from the keystone state.
Fisher, one hundred and forty-one pounds,
has the apparent advantage, Haig only
weighing hundred and thrty-three, but
in experience and tackling Haig is ahead
All friends OF Gallaudet will he glad to
learn that. Capt. Hubbard is again at the
helm. He comes from Colorado, is Sc
nior, and tips the scales at hundred and
thirty-three. He has played on both the
first and second teams ever since he has
been at college, and captained the '94 sec
ond team which was so successful.
Grimm, senior from Pennsylvania,
weighs one hundred and fifty, and this will
be his first year as half back. The posi-
ton which he held so successfully in past
years-end-has fitted him for half. He is
probably the fastest runner on the team,
and will be power behind the line.
The other half is Price, who comes all
the way from the state of Washington, and
is a freshman. He weighs a hundred and
thtrty-six. and is nearly as quick on his
feet as Grimm.
,Erd, a sophomore, from Illinois, weighs
hundred and fifty-two, and has never
played on the first eleven. He is well
built, and is said to be remarkably quick
on the punt.
Manager Whittocke has arranged
schedule Of games. but still has a few
dates open for either the first or second
teams.

Maryland Agricultural College.
Last year the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege had one Of the best foot ball elevens
that ever represented the institution. They
claimed the title of champions Of Maryland
but there was some dispute about it on the
part of another team. This year those in
authority intend that there shall be no
cloud on their title to the championship
and to that end both the first and second
teams practice two or three hours daily.
Granville Lewis, well known in this city
as former full back of the Business High
School, has been elected captain again, and
the manager is w. S. Rollins. Capt Lewis
will occupy his old position at full, while
Manager Rollins will fl! the position Of
tackle
Watkins and Michigan both of whom are
good at breaking up interference, are TAX
ing care of the ends. Kenly at quarter
back is also showing up well.
The other places on the eleven are filled
by the following collegians: Walker, center;
Fuller. right half back; Millison, left half
back; Gardner, right guard; Henderson
left guard. and Lewis full back
Captain Lewis is exceptionally good at
bucking the center, showing up especially
we'll against the heavy Columbia Athletic
Club team of last year. Manager Rollins
has arranged the following games to be
played by the first team:
October 10. with Western Maryland Col
lege, at Westminster.
October 26, with Episcopal High School,

sity, at College Park.
The team also expects to play in October

School and the Eastern High School. and
probably on Thanksgiving day play the
Cumberland Athletic Club at Cumberland.
Foot Ball at Baltimore.
Within the last two years foot ball has
made rapid strides at every college in
Maryland, with one exception, and that
the largest of them all, Johns Hopkins
University. Especially is the Baltimore
City College putting a good deal Of atten-
ton on the game. They have just finished
a series Of inter-class games in which the
class of '9S are the victorS. The object of
this series of games is to determine the
complexion OF the college team. The men
that will play on the team have been hard
at work for nearly month, and are in
prime condition. The candidates as q
whole are also beefy lot and should come
pretty near winning nearly all the games
they play.
The Baltimore Athletic Club has turned
it's attention from boating to foot ball, and
has had the candidates for the teams out
at practice during all of September, in
Guiding the hot spell. Such weil-known
Princeton names as those of the Poe and
Riggs boys are on the list of candidates.
The board of park commissioners of Balti-
more, toward the latter part of the season
last year, forbade match games to be
played in Druid Hill Park, the battle
ground for many a year, and now it is
probable that the largest number of con-
tests will take place at Oehm's Athletic
Park, a field provided for the use of the
youth of Baltimore through the munifi-
cence of the well-known merchant, Mr..
Oehm.
Johns Hopkins, Washington College at
Chestertown, Western Maryland at West
minister, and Rock Hill College, will all
have eleYens this year.
Georgetown College.
As exclusively announced in The Star of
some weeks ago, Georgetown College will
play foot ball this season, and, in fact, is
playing now, as the representative Of The
xxyba OF he oh fo
