The morning times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1897, 1895-11-17

man knoweth no " many more are being ar
ranged.
Naturally the attendance of lovers Of
football will be cut up to such an extent
among the several games that there Will
be little profit or enthusiasm at any OF
them
OF course the drawing card will be the
Columbia Athletic and Columbian Uniyer-
sity teams. The former team is the local
champion, and is now playing fast ball.
The university boys have been materially
strengthened, and since the organization
of an athletic association in the university
during the past week an immense amount
of enthusiasm is being shown, OF course
this new aspIraDt for local honors has
large following, and its "rooters" will
make the Thanksgiving Day game lively
one.
1t is more than likely that after this
year the c. y c. and Columbian University
game will be the Thanksgiving fixture and
championship game, as was ID former years
the C. a. c. and Georgetown game.
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The several teams seeking football cham
pionship honors have not as yeL-contrary
TO expectation and hopes-come anywhere
nearer arranging for O championship game
than they were last week.
The champi have been challenged to
play championship game for Thanksgiv-
ing Day with the Potomac Athletics, but
that cate is filled, consequently the game
Will have to be played before or after the
THANKSGIVING Day game. OF course, this
game will by no means decide the cham
pIonship.
A dozen might challenge the champions
and If they accepted all and played the
games and won certain per cent oil games
from individual teams, or vice versa, what
mon IN
None at all; that would be just as far off
as ever The only way to DO is for all the
aspIrants for the honor to play a series
among themselves, the winner OF the greater
number of games to be entitled to chal-
lenge and play the present champions.
ROUGH BASKETBALL.
T. teams IN the basketball League are
making counter charges about rough play
ing in the regular series, and as friends OF
both teams claim that both teams are
guilty. more or less, thene seems 10 be no
cure for 1t until the matter Is slIted down
10 the offending-party.
The other five teams are playing good
ball, and little is heard from them about
rough playing. The game is not intended
IN any way to be rough one, and any IN
dulgence IN unnecessary rough play must
be stopped.
The attendance upon these games is
growing To such an extent that the question
of charging an admission fee is under con
alteration.
Ii is also suggested that some suitable
hall be engaged for The purpose OF playing
ali the championship games there, charging
a small admission fee TO cover expenses.
The movement is meeting with much favor.
The league win hold special meeting on
Tuesday evening at Infantry Armory.
Since the game on Friday night between
the Corcoran Cadets and Military Cyclists,
played in the Guards rifle gallery, a Sec
o ond league of five teams, made up from
among the National Guard, is spoken Of; ill.,
deed, almost assured.
Gen. Albert Ordway has become inter
ested i'll the game, a nd promises to lend MS
aid in every way To further the game among
The guardsmen.
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
Notwithstanding The unsettled condition
of the weather during the past week, the
Columbia Athletic Club football team has
been hard al work. but the results have not
been very flattering, and this was undoubt-
eddy caused by the several changes made,
on accou Mt of which team play has been the
exception rather than the rule.
The team will be in proper form for the
Thanksgiving Day game, as well as for
championship game, which is now among
the possibilities.
For Wednesday last the team had a
game arranged with the Orients, but the
latter did not put in an appearance. The
game will probably be played during the
coming week.
The c. A. c. team will play a game at
Norfolk on Saturday next with the Nor
folk Athletic Association.
