Tomorrow's scrimmage on the gridiron
between the teams representing the Colum-
bia Athletic Club and the Celunabian Uni-
versity at National Park will be one Of the
most fiercely contested games of the sea-
son, from all present Indications. The C.
A. C. has secured some new men for. the
weak places that showed up so prominently
in the game with the Orange Athletic Club,
and Is prepared to put up a game without
a fear either in the condition of the men
or in the matter of team play. On the
other hand the boys from the university
are in fine condition. and. backed by that
college pride that plays so important a
part in all contests of this kind. will play
the game of their lives. The first half will
be called at 4:15, in order to allow the de-
partment clerks who are interested in foot
ball time to reach the park, and the game
will consist of two halves, of twenty min
utes each, with an tntermiSsion of ten min
utes.
The lineup of the Columbia Athletic Club
team will be as follows: Left end, Humph-
reys, Curtiss; left tackle, Dwight Smith;
left guard, McConville; center, Ciaudy,
Bright: right guard, Saunders; right tackle,
Wells; right end. Exley Taussig: quarter
back, Parson. HookeEi right half back,
Dickinson. Watson: left half back, Reeve
Lewis. Maupin: full back. Dyer. Bright.
1t will be seen that the c. A. c. will have
no danger of losing the game from a lack
OF substitutes will exist. Although the men
have not had much outdoor practice this
week. the gymnasium work has been OF
some advantage in the working Of signals.
and The men will go on the field fully
equipped in every particular. -, =
The Columbian's lineup will in all prob
ability be as follows, although Capt. Lewis
may decide to shift some of his men at the
last moment: Left. Kelly; left tackle,
Louchs; left guard, CUMMINGS: center
Harlan; right guard. Heath; right tackle.

Captain Lewis has some new men in

On tlme Tor tomorrow's game CAPTAIN
Lewis says that he will have a new guard
ana tackle weighing. respectively. 21O and
1S5 pounds.
The average weight of the Columbia team
IS about 16S pounds. possibly little more
but certainly not less. This is much lighter
than the team was popularly supposed to
oe but a close scrutiny of the c. A c.
team develops the fact that the average
weight taking into account all the men
who are scheduled for positions In the
game. and Captain, Wells hopes to work
the greater number of them at some time
IN tomorrow's contest is just about the
same as that of Columbian-163 pounds
VI the new men secured by the c. A. c.
Dyer SHOWS up more prominently than the
rest, and will do much toward the sue
cess OF the team tomorrow. He is an ex-
cepuonally strong and accurate kicker and
Is not only good une-bucker and all
round good foot ball player, but enthuses
the men to the highest point with his own
spirit and activity. From his position be-
hind the line he will be able to give many
valuable hints and suggestions that. will
be OF the utmost, use as the, game pro-
gresses- Bright at eenteI: Is Also a valua-
bic man. as is Reeve Lewis, who has re-
turned to the game for the benefit of his
club. - .ae "a Il ssr1
There will be several special features
will bear close close 8ateklde among" Among these hese
may be mentioned the individual playing of
both the full backs, Dyer and Lewis. Lewis
Is one Of the most valuable men the~Co-
lumbian University has had for some time,
lot only as an excellent eaptain and leader
as well. He is fine kicker. and hstter
man at line-bupking would be hard. to find.
Another man who will bear watching is
Humphreys. at the left end Of the Colum-
bia line. Although light he is as quick as
a stroke of lightning. and made a high
reputation for hard play in the game be-
tween the Fort Munroe and C. A. C. teams
last year.
of the fastest men In the District on the
gridtron. having represented the Central
High School during his course there on
both the foot ball field and on the track.
He Is strong player. and his work is
mainly notable for the many good gains he
almost invariably makes around the end
of the enemy's line.
Probably. however,Sthe greatest interest
Will be taken In the way "Tubby'' Dickin-
son plays his new position of half back.
He made a favorable impression in this
place in the game with the Orange team,
and should by this time have become more
fully acquainted with the duties of half
back than he was in that contest "Tubby''
Is fast man, and his weight will make
MIN d1mcult man to stop under full head
way.
Arrangements have been made to care for
a great crowd at the park tomorrow.
