Gaiiaudet College II Strong Team and Well
Trained.

On Saturday, November 18th. the Uni
| vorsity Of Virginia football team Will
meet Gallaudot College at Charlottesville.
The eleven Of Gallaudct College this
year Is conceded 10 be not only the
strongest college team in Washington, Dul
materially the most powerful team the
college has had for many years. ii has
been dihcult to arrange games with
ncighboring college cleyens OF anything
like its strength. The Central and East
ern High School olevcns have several
times faced the Gallaudets, who simply
toyed with them. and in no game on the
homo grounds has their goal ever been
in serious danger. The Maryland Agri-
cultural College eleven succeeded IN hold
ing the Gallaudots TO tie in two TWEEN
ty-minute halves on their grounds, though
had there been but five minutes more IN
each half the Galaudets would easily
have scored two toucbd0wns. In this
game. the Gallaudets had the pigskin on
the Agricultursts' Vineyard line at the
end OF both halves. Then, too, they play
ed three substitutes.
Manager Whitlocke has been trying to
get another game with this team. but
so fa- has beer unsuccessful. They plain
~ do not wish TO try conclusions with the
GalldudctS again.
Coumbian College has been holding Off,
but may Play a game on THANKSGIVING
Day and. judging from the work OF both
teams against Ccl tain others. the Gaiau-
diets have good promise Of the best OF the
argument
OF last years eleven which lined up in
the game against the University of Nir-
ginia. three men are not on the team this
year. They are Hubbard captain OF the
% team. Dudley and Grimm. The two
latter are. however, ably succeeded by
Hall and Erd The place OF last year
quarter, Hubbard, has been very hard
10 fin. as no one had been trained for that
position and consequently new man nad
10 be nut there. Lester Rosson. a brother
of Gallaudets great half-back, ROssOn,
has been playing quarter Tor some ume'
and bids fair TO turn out we'll with more
practice Although II has been difhcult 10
fin this vacancy ~ quarter satisfactorily,
the team on the whole is a winning one,
The team is much heavier than that oil
'gJ and this taken with the snap ana
vigor Of their play in spite OF numerous
disadvantages arising from their deatness,
gives a great advantage over thelr oppo-
nents. Add to this the teamwork OF
high order. the heavy line splcndln IN
reference. and tackline. and the great
success Of the team during the present
season is explained.

The team has always been without the
services Of g coach. and therefore de-
serves more credit for the excellent gen
tlemanly games which the deaf-mutes put
