Strong as Any Team In Town and
wanted TO Take Lehigf,'s Place.

IL every tniuS 8OeS we'll, tne lovers OIL tne
game will have plenty of good football
here next week. Already -four contests,
all of which should prove interesting. have
been scheduled, and no doubt others will
be arranged and played before the week is
out.
The four now on the tapis are those OF
the Columbia Athletic Club against the
Baltimore Athletic Club. which takes place
on Saturday; the Canterburys against the
shamrocks, on Thursday; the Columbia
Athletic Club against the Orange Athletic
Club, on Wednesday, and the Jeffersons
against the Soldiers Home team, on F RI
day. OF the two games the Columbia Ath-
letic Club has on hand, that with the Orange
men will probably be the hardest. though
both should be hot ones, for the baltimore
team is very strong one.
The Canterbury men, who have given it
out on several occasions recently that they
were ready to meet any other football or
ganization in the city, are, If reports are
true, disappointed at not getting chance
at the Columbia Athletic Club men on
Thanksgiving Day,
The Canterburys believe that they have

are stronger than any other team in Wash
ington with the possible exception or The
Athletic Club men, and, they say, SO far as
giving spectators the worth or their money
is concerned, they could have done that bet
ter than any other team in the town. The
team will probably try to fix up a heiida y

and has several players that are very ha I'd
to beat. The line up OF the team is:
Moriarity, center: Craven, right guard
Chainberliu, left guard: Bouve. right end;
Bradley, left end; Tierney. right tackle
Clark, left tackle; NJ Roberts. right haii
back; Mulhall, left half back: Selby quar-
ter back, and G. Roberts. fun back
Moriarity at center Is considered the staI
of the team, but n. Roberts. right half back,
and G. Roberts, fun back. are fast and
great pair. N. Roberts Is the fastest run
uer on the team. 1t is said he can go 100
yards handily in 10 12 seconds. The JEFF
fersons were to have played the lie Droit
Park men yesterday Next Friday they
play the Soldiers Home team.
The Georgetown College boys have done
a pleasant thing by the Central High School
BOYS. The latter have been experiencing a
world OF trouble in getting a suitable
place for the holding of their field and
track meet, which is set for November %.
The places that could be had at a reason
able figure were not what the Centrals
wanted, while those that would have an
swered were held at au extravaSant price
When the Georgetown boys heard OF the
schoolboys' tribulations they, through tneii
track aud field department manager, Ar
Robert Dick Douglas, teudered them tiheii
yyitItnuf money and
without price, and the Centrais event VIII
be held there.
The action of the Maryland Agricultural
College students in disbanding their Iooe-
hall team is regretted by several iocai
teams, who hoped to get games with them.
The LAYING down OF the pigskin Dy tne
Maryland boys was brought about Dy the
limited time allowed them Tor practice.
The military discipline of the college was
such as TO forbid their spending the time
they wanted at football, and rather than
go on the field with an undrilled team they
quit the game altogether. The college Is
said TO have some splendid football material
and some of the students are in bad humor,
but they can't be students, soldiers and loot
ball players all at once, SO there Is no way
out Of the dilemma

who have been trying for three weeks to
get to Laurel to give the boys up there a
game, but who have been stopped hy bad
weather every time a date was named,
have now chosen Saturday, November 16,
for the event, and they hope the weather
man will be in better humor on that day
than he has been heretofore. ----.
There is a good deal of disappointment
expressed over the failure of the Columbia
Athletic Club men to induce the Lehigh
folks to come here for Thanksg wing Day
game. Lehigh is playing good football
these days, and there was a general de-
sire to see the Athletic Club men go
against her. The Columbian Varsity
boys, however, assure the disa appointed
ones that they will give the athletic club
people quite a stiff and interesting argu-
ment.
The fourth game in the Basketball League
championship series takes place tonight

ton Athletic Club, Carroll Institute over
the Potomac wheelmen, and Washington
Athletic Club over the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
