Place cn Local Feds.
ARMY ELEVEN VS.. THE C. A. C.
Series of Social Features Arranged
in Honor of the Visiting Officers.
KendaIls and Columbian College
VIII Also Do Batt1e-Mutes'G Game
with U. of Va. Again Postponed.

Washington will have more than the
usual amount OF football on thanksgiving
Day. OF course the main attraction VII
be tie game between the Columbia Ath-
letic team and the Fort Monroe Army
kjCkers, but there are to he at least TWO
other games for that day.
Arrangements have Just been completed
for 4 game between Columbia College
and Gallaudet. There has been so.h
deal oil speculation as to the reiatlvestrehb'i
OF these two teams, and 1T is the general
opinion that they are very evenly ihatcheu-
By n comparison OF their respective scores
against the Central High School eleven u
wouIb seem that there is little to cnoose
between thcu although the Columbians
claim that they We're at disadvantage, as
tie game was their first, while the hen-
dalls were perfectly organized.
Columbian scored exactly the same num-
Der of points as Kendall. II is not decided
whether the game will be played in the
morning or afternoon, but 1T is vefy
likely that 1t will be arranged so as not
to conflict with the c. A. C.-Army game,
which will probably be played earl y in the
afternoon.
