CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT

The arrangements for the foot ball game
between the Columbia Athletic Club and
the Columbian varsity team will be per-
fected tonight at meeting of Manager
Korn of the former team and Manager
Nichols of Columbian.
The game Saturday will be full of in
terest The team representing the Column
bian University this year is one of the
strongest that that institution has ever
had and under the watchful and skillful
eye of Captain Grenville Lewis the eleven
is obtaining a high grade Of proficiency
both il team work and in maturing in
dividual excellence the team is a heavy
enc, but full of life and ginger, and the
when the scrimnage comes off. Capt.
Lewis is one of the best foot ball players
in the District. He is not only a fine
player. but has the ability to get hard
work out Of the men under him. He is popu-
lar with the team, and in fact, with all who
know him, and the Columbian boys could
not have made a better decision when they
chose him for their captain. Loucks Tin
dali and jolly are old High School players,
Tindall having the distinction of being
crack sprinter well as the best half
back that ever represented the Central
High School Cummings is another strong
Payer. while MeiSs and Kelly make two
ends that are hard to beat. The remainder
OF the team is fully up to the standard set
by the ones mentioned.
The game with the Richmond Athletic
Club. won by Columbian. as well as the
other games in which the team has par
ticipated, have given the boys plenty of
practice, and in this respect they have
somewhat the advantage of the c. A. c.
eleven, which has played but one game
this season.
The Columbia Athletic Club team is,
however. putting its best foot forward in
practice. although the work is not as bene-
Hrtn oS. ,i,rht
making practice take place in the gymna-
SUM. The team is not heavy as the
Columbian eleven, but the experience of
the veterans on it. some of whom have
been playing foot ball for many years on
teams much stronger than either the pres
ent c. A. c. or Columbian teams will
cosne near offaetting this disparity in
weight.
There is a strong rivalry between the
teams, and each one has host of friends
who will root for it with all the enthusiasm
needful. OF course the university team
Will have rooters who are past masters
In the art and who will have all the strong
college feeling to back them; but the CO.
iumbla hackers have also had experience
IN this sort of thing, so that there is every
prospect of a most lively time when the
teams get together for the fray.
Manager Louis korn of he Columbia
Athletic Club foot ball team has been in
correspondence for some time past with
the Boston Athletic Club, with a view of
setiihS team from that organization to
come to Washington for THANKSGIVING
Jay game. The negotiations were cut
short, however. by a letter received by Mr..
korn last night from the Boston club ex-
pressing regret that owing to the scarcity
OF foot ball material there the prospect of
a club being organized was very slight and
that the game would have to be declared
on Manager Korn has several other
strong teams in prospect. however, and
there is no danger of the day going with
out foot ball Scrimmape of some hind Il,
which the c. A. c. eleven will figure very
prominently.
