washington's followers OF athletics will
have plenty of amusement for next sat
uruay. There Will be two football games
and also the field meet or Georgetown
College. Each one oil These events Is OF
more than ordinary Interest, and the cir
cunIsiance OF all three occurring ON the
same DAY makes the athletic ran long 10
be able To divide himself up.
oi the Two football games, probably the
one That VIII attract the most interest,"
Is the second OF the iniercity contests De
tween the Culunltia Athletic Club and the
Maryland Athletic Club.
InclIc score OF the iirst game has made
the local men determined to win Satur-
day : contest, ana no doubt the same spirit

1nis intense rivalry is sure 10 bring about
n game notable III football history.
COLUMBIA Is CONFIDENT.
In view CT the crippled condition of the
c. a. {. team III the Tuesdays game IL
is confidently expected by item that they
VIII vanquIsn the Baltimoreans. IL will no
doubt tie as haid-fouent contest as Will be-
seen on the local griulron this season.
Tie OTHER game of Saturday Will be be-
tween kendaiI and the University oil Penn
Sylvania Reserves. The Reserves are very
LITTLE weaker than the regular varsity
team, and admirers of the Quakcrs viii
have good ciance OF seeing just about the
style OF play which will he used i'll the
big intercollegiate games.
Inc strength oil the RESERVES can be cs-
tlmated from comparison of the scores
OF the games against the Naval Cadets at
Annapolis. The regular varsity team Gc
feated the Cadets by score Of s to .,
and the Reserves beat the same team. q too.
The Kendall Icam has pIeauy improved
III all round team work during tie past two
weeks. Regular games with the second team
have been played, ana all dct ails are being
looked after by an efficient coach. The
two teams are very evenly matched i'll
weight, and while the Kendall boys hardly
dare hope for ii victory over the strong
Pennsylvanlans, they believe they are
able TO hold them down To very small
score.

AT THE TRAINING TABLE.

A thletic Club football team has started
win about twenty men, and the way the
wholesome ICoG yanishcs at the onslaught
of the athletes after hard practice is
something astonishing.
The hill Of fare consists of the plainest
food, such as steaks, bread and butter, with
plenty of milk. The table will be main
taincd up 10 Thanksgiving Day and posi-
bly, a little later.
The game which c. A. c. has had in mind
for some time with the Orange Athletic
Club will very likely come off, but not in
Washington, as the Orange men think
much larger attendance will result from
playing the game in New York. Mr..
kurn OF c. A. c. went to New York the
other day with Instructions from the club
managers To secure :he game if possible.
1t will be definitely known whether the
game will be played on the return of Mr..
kUrn, which will be in a day or two.
