Evening star., 1898-10-08

this week by scoring on them after a long
run.
Horsey was doing good work for light
man until dcwned by malaria. He is get
ting better now and will come out again.
No end of praise should be given o OShea
for the loyalty and sand he has shown
IN the contest. He has not missed days
practice and has always worked like n
beaver He may not make the team on
account of his very light weight but he
VIII oe remembered for the gameness of his
struggle.
Quarter Back.
There are always few sandy youngsters
dashins about foot ball field getting un-
der every heap and breaking through for
brilliant tackle. O'Shea is one of the
type, and men like him are Keane, 1901
ana Lobft, 1901. These two are the prin-
clpal candidates for quarter back. 1t is an
even game between them for the victory
with the odds, If any. a little bit in favor
oi heane, on account Of his superior pass

Another candidate may. however put in
an appearance in few days and beat them
poth out because of his superior weight
Inc one referred to is Collins of the Law
school. who played quarter on the Boston
College team during the season of 1895 and
mas played since on his class and depart
mental teams.
Half Backs.
For half backs there have been several
naming candidates are Kirby Oaw), Flem-
ing. 1901: Cullen, 1899; Taylor Haw,, Doug
lass daw) and also OShea and Barry.
Kirby, after putting in some good work
was disabled by bruised muscle. He is a
good man, particularly clever as a line hit
ter.
Cullen is also disabled for a few days by
a bad knee. He is one of the best backs
out. 1t takes hard work to down him. and
II ne can only get a little more speed into
his running will surely make the team.
Fleming is a strong, well deyeloped fellow
put does not use the strength in his possess
sion to the best advantage. With good
coaching the popular second baseman of
the nine ought to be developed into a
clever half. Douglass PLAYED well until he
hurt his knee. He will be out again, Tay-
lor had some experience on the Richmond
college team, but is not an experienced
player, at least he does not show it in his
paying. with his strength and agility,
however, there should result good hard
player of the varsity stamp.
At Columbian University.
The Columbian University team is by no
means as yet finally picked out. The vet
erans are, Of course, practically sure of
their places. Yet competition is encouraged
anu the new men are given every chance
TO show their mettle. The students are
taking great interest in the team. The
varsity squad consists at present of about

team formed the nucleus and to them were
added from time to time those who showed
good form on the departmental teams The
Law, Medical, Scientific and college all
have teams, and they have proved of in
valuable service to the varsity. The team
has been training faithfully on the Co.
lumbian grounds, North Capitol street.
From the start the best coachers have been
with the men. They are Charles Huggett
of the University of Michigan and D. J.
FuSltt OF Lehigh. The former played on
his college team. and last year coached
the winning High School team in Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Fugitt played tackle and half
back on Lehigh, and was formerly STU
dent at Columbian. These men have been
assisted by Capt. Andrew ]. Cummings
1900, and most valuably of all by w F.
Beatty, 1899, the manager. The latter has
given much of his time freely to the inter-
ests of the college, and his loyalty to CO.

The Schedule.
North Carolina warts to play in Wash
ington October 10, but the MANAGEMENT

ton.
Center.
For center, Harlan, 49, who played last
10
for the place. He weighs only 165 pounds,
which seems almost too little for a first
class center: but when it is recalled that
Lewis OF Harvard weighed cnly about 10
during his last year of the game, it is not
SO surprising. Harlan did fine work in the
last Virginia game. NJ. Cummings, another
candidate. is much heavier than Harlan.
He Is quick and strong.
Guards.
For guards, Captain Cummings Is sure to
be found In one place, but not until the
end of the season. He broke his arm early
in the summer and will not risk it until the
big games. His tall, active figure is a IA
mliar one on the Columbian gridiron. Os-
terman of the scientific school weighs at
present about 100 pounds, this being slight
iy under his regular weight. He is a green
man at the game, but shows ability. Mich
oil of the law school will be remembered as
weighs about 10 pounds and at one time
played William and Mary. Bynum of
the law school is small man for the posi-
ton. He is very aggressive, however, and
makes up in ferceness for his lack of
weight.
Tackle.
For tackle, Brown of the law school is
showing up well. He played on the Orange
Athletic Club of Washington last year. His
weight is 1S0 pounds. Loucks of the law
school was The tackle last year, who, to-
gether with Cummings, made the right of
the line SO strong. He weighs, when in
condition, lS5 pounds, but is somewhat un-
der weight owing to his rough experiences
before Santiago, where he went men,
Der of the District Volunteers. Cochran
of the college is heavy man from western
Montana. He has had good experience.
Ends.
Last years ends are both back in col
lege. Meigs, 1899, of Scientific, and Kelley,
1890. OF the college, weigh about $50 pounds
each. Harris member OF the 18th Penn
sylvania Volunteers. is also coming out.
He is in the Law School and played on
Bucknell. Carney of the Scientific School
will also be candidate. He has had ex-
pertence. Bowie of the Scientific School
