their practice, owing to a prevalence of
typhoid fever at the institute, on account
of which all of the students were given a
furlough several weeks ago. The Virgin
ians had a game scheduled with George
town for last Saturday, but this can
celed on account of the typhoid epidemic.
and now the Thanksgiving day game suf-
fers from similar cause.
1t is quite certain that Georgetown will
nave game on that day, though just who
the team will be is not yet settled. The
suggestion has been made that the team
play Gallaudet College on Thanksgiving
day. but nothing has been done in that
direction The players from Kendall Green
would be only too willing to play another
game with the blue and gray. in an effort
to blot out the sting of the recent defeat

muddy and boggy condition of the grid

Il return game
The manager of the Baltimore Medical
College eleven. which defeated Georgetown
by score of II to Wednesday. october
% was an interested spectator at the
game yesterday. He is anxious to arrange
another game with the blue and gray, and
feels as confident of victory could be.
The team which he represents is after the
championship of the south this year. and
wants to get it. 1t cannot get game with
the University of Virginia. The manager
is confident that Georgetown will be vic
torious Saturday afternoon, and on that
account is anxious to arrange another
game. BY defeating Georgetown, after the
locals defeat Virginia. the team of the Bal
timore Medical College would clinch their
title of southern champions, even without
playing Virginia.
The manager of the Baltimoreans made
some arrangements with the manager of
the Gallaudet team, whereby the two Will
come together in the near future, if every
thing turns out all right. The nature of
the negotiations could not be learned, but
it was stated that the two teams would
most likely come together.
In the meantime preparations for the
Observation-Disclosures game of Saturday are
progressing rapidly. and the interest in the
contest will be as great, if not more so,
than ever. The students of the law ana
medical schools of Georgetown nave heid
a mass meeting relative to attending the
game in a body. headed by a fun band,
t. cheer their team on to victory. Add
tional stands have been erected on the
side of the field to accommodate the large
crowd that is expected.

Saengerbund bowlers.

| the visiting team played a steady, consist

| The Columbias are certainly stronger this
| year, and as it is possible that the team
| may be further Streng hened. they should
! be watched closely, as d dark horse, in the
! league pennant race. Rodrick, the new
! league crack, made his first appearance on
| foreign alleys, and he fully maintained the
! good Impressions previously formed of his
| play. Stitt showed decided signs Of re-
| gaining his old form. averaging 1870 for the
| evening "Old Reliable" Kicker was also
well in front.
The Carols would seem to require
| shaking up The team so far this season
| has bowled a different series of scores from
what was expected of them at the outset.
| Unless changes for the better are made at
once the handsome trophy won by the in
| stitCte last year will not be retained.
The tale of the first game may be briefly

Though rather one-sided, the game was
well played, and the sensational work by
both teams during the course of the game

individual members of the teams and the
open passing by the soldier boys were fea-

hopes. The side had lost by two pins. But

their joy suddenly cut short, an error hav-

Umpire.

The eleven of Dickinson College of Penn

dispute the game was awarded to the blue
and gray by to o. Up to this time neither

two minutes of the close Of the last TWEEN
ty-minute half the visitors by a clever
trick scored a touchdown. the captain OF
the team, Ham, who played quarter back,
running for fully fifty yards in making 1t.
1t was the most exciting play of the game,
and the trick was SO neatly executed as 10
fool most Of the spectators. The local
team claimed that in performing the move
a forward pass OF the call was made, and
this claim was allowed by the umpire.

while. When the referee called upon une
teams to continue playing the visitors re-

where decisions, however distasteful. are
accepted with sportsmanlike impaSsiye-

The ending Of the game was unsatisfac-
tory to the gathering of several hundred
visitors. Al the outset there was a promise
OF close game. and the promise was more
than fulfilled. 1t was clean ball, too and

Of applause. Neither side scored in the
hrSt half. though at one time Georgetown
had the bail within three yards of the
visitors goal, losing on downs. In this
half the Dickinson boys played a fine
game, and for the greater part of the time

In the second half the blue and gray went

visitors were equal to the emergency. and

thought that the ball would be punted. the
clever trick was played by which the
visitors secured their touchdown but which
was not allowed. Those who witnessed the
play were about evenly divided in their
opinion, there being more or less doubt
about the forward pass OF the pigskin.
Up TO this point the game was a most
evenly contested affair with honors about
