CENTRALS TO PLAY MARYLAND.
The team OF Central High School Will go
to College Station this afternoon to play
Il second game with Maryland Agricul-
tural College There is Il great deal Of
interest shown in this contest because OF
the close game between the two teams
Some weeks ago.
II is claimed that the Central Toys lost
that game through the partiality Of the
referee. With the score standing to
in favor Of the Centrals, he refused to
call the game, although it was almost en-
,ireiy dark at the time, thus enabling the
\ ..riculturists te score another touchdown,
which Won theI the game.
The Ccntrals hardly expect to win the
game, as they realize the strength OF the
AgrIcuturists, bat they are sure to give
the farmer boys good argument. The
game will lie played about 3: 80 on the col
lepe field.
II has heen definitely decided that the
first game Of the inter nigh school series
will be played Saturday, November 2S, twy
days after Thanksgiving, and TIE contest
will take place either on Georgetown Field
or at Columbia Park, preferably the latter
| because OF its more central location. The
other games Will Ec played each Saturday
thereafter until the championship shallhavc
been decided.
While it is recognized that the real hat
tie lies Between Central and Eastern, games
will be played with both Western and Busi-
hess, So as TO have no quest on regarding
the supremacy Of the winner Cf the Central
Eastern series. The various teams Will re,
ceive the most enthusiastic support from
their follG ers and doubtlessthe games VIII
he among the most hOtly contested on the
local gridiron This season.
c. A. {. GAME CA NCELLED.
The game which had been partially ar
ranged between G. A. c. and University
Of Virginia for today at charlottesville has
been cancelled by Manager Cabrera, OF
the C. A. C., as it was found impossible to
get together team capable of making a
creIitable showing against the Virginians.
A number of the C. A {. men find il i'm
possible to get away from town because OF
work, SO IL is improbable that any more
out-of flown games will he pla yed this
season.
II can be definitely stated that there will
he game here on next Saturday. Mar ager
Cabrera has the option OF games with three
We'll known teams. but he Will not decide
until today which to accept
AT any rate patrons OF the game who
can't &c to Philadelphia or New York for
the big college games will be assured Of
some good local sport.
The Gallaudets will 60 to Charlottes-
vile on Saturday 10 play the University Of
Virginia team. This game has been eagerly
sought by the Gallaudets, as they consider
themselves entitled to chance at the
Southern intercollegiate championship.
While the Gallaudcts are not particularly
sangune as to the outcome of the game,
there is nevertheless plenty of hope. The
University of Virginia team is weaker
this year than for several seasons past,
and the Galiaudets realize that now is their
best chance to put up winning fight.
The arrangements for the Columbian Col
Ia,r f..,IIa TEon
are being rapidly completed. The game
will be played or Kendall Green and will
commence at $3.50 p. m. This hour, ii is
hoped, Will not conflict with that Of the
c. A. C.-Army game, which has not been
definitely set as yet.
