LOCAL ATHLETIC GOSSIP
Football Men Are Still Wrangling
Over Old Scores.
Contests Bet ween the Leading Teams
VIII Be Few and Far Between Cn-
less a Truce Is Patched Up.

The Columbian University yesterday
sent to Mr.. Robert Dick Douglas, manager
OF the field and track department OF George
town College, two more entries for the
intercollegiate meet to take place on Satur-
day. They are Wolfekuhler and Campbell.
Both are sprinters.
wolfekuiiler is said TO be very fast man.
II is not expected by the Columbians that
he win beat Wefers, but 1t is thought that
he WIN give him race in the 10O-yard and
22O-yard dasles, and that he viii certainly
finish no worse than second.
Campbell is also said TO be a speedy man,
and with these two, and schade in the
bicycle event, and Green in the pole-vault-
ing contest, the Columbian boys expect to
make a very credltable showing.
The action Of the University of Penn
sylvania men in declining 10 meet the Bos-
ton Athletic Association team yesterday
according TO agreement struck the local
football fraternity as display of exceed
ing weakness, and brought down upon the
heretofore believed to be invincible COM
bination good deal OF ridicule II was
looked upon as a pure case OF scare, brought
on by the experience the Pennsylvanians
had with the Chicago Athletic Association
team.
The Canterburys have challenged the
Shamrocks for an early game, but the lat
ter Will not take on an enga cement with
them until they have arrived at some
definite understanding with the PotoI1acs.
The CaDterburys are much heavier team
than the Shanlrocks, averaging about %
pounds, while the Shamrocks average more
than ten pounds less.
Capt. Doughefey, OF the Shamrocks, dis
covered two or three weak spots in the
makeup of the Shamrocks in the game
with the Rockville boys on Monday that
he proposes to strengthen at once. One or
these holes is to be plugged with mute
named Kechner, who played with the
ROckvillcs.
Kechner played right end for the visitors
Oh Monday. He made more trouble for
the Shamrocks than any other man among
their opponents, and his work was the talk
Of the entire crowd of spectators. He has
had offers, it is said, to play in Balti-
more and Philadelphia, but wants to come
to Washington, and the ShamrOcks have
gladly accepted his services.
Prof. Baldwin and his aggregation Of foot
ball players appea 10 have been lost in the
shuttle. They were at practice regularly
couple of weeks ago, and were said to be
programmed for a game with the Blakes
on the 9th OF this month, but the professor
and the ladies have not been seen or heard
of lately, and it is probable they have given
the notion up as a bad job.
Cabura, right end for the Columbian Col
lege eleven, is not only a tip-top football
player, baseball pla yer and good athlete
generally, but he is a fast nd plucky bicy-
Gle rider, and will start in the two-mile
race at the Georgetown intercollegiate
contests on Saturday. He knows his COL
lege chum, Schade, is looked upon by many
as sure winner of that event, barring acci-
dent, but he believes he can give the hand
some young blonde lively chase, not with
standing his supposed superiority.
1t was rumored yesterday that big Mike
Mahoney, to whom Georgetown College
boys are looking for great work In the
contests ON Saturday, had given 1t out
that he would not take part in any OF the
events on that day. IL big Mike, with his
twenty years, six feet four, and 220
pounds, should fail to appear there will
be much disappointment, for he is not
only one OF the very best athletes, but
he is one of the most popular students at
the college.
The Baltimore Athletic Club which is To
men on the 18th is rated by Baltimore foot
ball experts to be one OF the very strongest
club combinations to be found anywhere
in the East. They are spoken of as being
right up in rank with such teams as that OF
the Boston Athletic Association and Chi
cago Athletic Association, and their friends
predict that the Columbia men will hardly
be able to give them healthy exercise.
the postpunement for the second time OF
the visit of the Central High School eleven
to Laurel to meet the team OF that town,
and the game has been set for next Sat
urday. In the meantime the Centrals are
getting in some telling practice work and
they expect to give the Laurel lads
good shaking up.
The University of Virginia men, so it is
said. have assured the Columbian Varsity
team that they will be glad to give them a
trial on he gridiron in the near future.
They may send in a date for the meeting
before The week is over.
Mr.. Macarthur, who Is engineering the
Day road race, is sending
entry blanks for the event to many promi-
nent riders in the East and South, and it
is thought will hear favorably from
fair share of them. 1t was said yesterday
that Sims would certainly be among the
starters, if Mudd goes in, as it will make
him feel particularly good to beat the ster-
ling man in q race of his own making.
The Gallandet boys do not mince words
in giving reasons for declining TO meet the
Columbia Athletic club team. They say
they do not regard slugging as essential to
good football playing. They might have
couched their meaning in milder terms, but
they probably lust what they wantedto.
This is further evidence that there will be
few contests this year among the stronger
local teams, fact that will be regretted
by every lover of the football game.
G. c. Fox. of Chicago, who was recently
from Glass A to Class B b. the
L. A. W.. rode one-third of a mile, unpaced,
with flying start, at the Fountain Ferry
track, Louisville, on Saturday i n 43 seconds.
A. F. Sem rode two miles with flying
ST art unpa ced, in 4minutes 20 seconds.
The Columbia College eleven goes to Alex
aDdria this afternoon to play the Episcopal
High School team of that town. The col
lege boys will be accompanied by big
delegation OF their college chums.
Mr. Henry Bradley is getting ready to
give his friends the sport of a live bird
shoot at his farm, near this city, next week.
The third game of the Basket Ball League
series will be played by the Young Mems
Christian Association and Washington
Athletic Club teams, at the rooms Of the
former this evening.
