FOR COLLEGIATE HONORS.
Gallaudet and Columbian to Meet
Thanksgiving Day.

The game which Is to come Off between
the football teams OF the Columbian Col
lese and Gallaudet on Thanksgiving after
noon promises to be the hottest and most
Interesting of the year between local teams
This interest is especially keen in view of
the fact that tile winner OF the game will
be entitled to the title OF District cel-
legiate champions for the year.
So evenly matched are the teams that it
would be a hard matter to decide which has
the better chance of winning. The team
work OF each eleven is particularly good but
the Gallaudets possess the advantage of
having pla yed a larger number of games this
season, while Columbian has had compara-
lively few. --.
Gallaudet's line may be a trifle heavier
than Columbian, though not materially so.
Capt smielan, of Gallaudet, will have op.
posed to him Harlan.
Tney are htaiiy OF The same weight
and both are well known as active, ag-
gresSive players. 1t Will he about II
stand-off between, Brooks of Gallaudet
and nthony of Celumbian. They are strong
ami heavy and MAY be depenued upon To
get into all the plays. Hodges and Cum
mings are about equal in weight. but those
who have seen the men play say that the
mute will have the best Of the argument
| when they face each other. He is short
| thick-set and a remarkably active man.
On the otncr hand, CuIihnings is very heavy
| and strong and may give his man plenty
| TO do. ~
Between Brockhagen and Loucks there
| will be a battle royal. u Brockhagen is
| about the best tackle Gallaudet ever had.
| He is a man OF splendid physique and
his playing is always conspicuous. Loucks
| is big, heavy fellow, and is considered
| the best man in Coiunbian's line.
Columbian may have a slight advantage
| in her ends, which are Beard and Fugitt
| Both are experienced players. they tackle
| well and are good at smashing opposing
interference. Roth and Haig are the
| Gallaudet ends and are first-rate men,
| being sure tacklers and breaking inter
| ference well.
| Atquarter back Columbian Is strong hav
| ing two good men for the position, Beall
and Kelly. The latter won his reputation
| on the Eastern High School team, and is
known as one of the best lightweights in
the city. Beall is quick, sure passcr
and interferes we'll .-.,.-.--

is a sure ground gamer and tackles
splendidly.
For Columbian Tipdall and Ball are

line for the end runs Ball Is q goot
| ground gamer and follows his interference
extremely well. He is also good at smash
