Varsity Eleven Crippled.
The Georgetown University foot ball
team Is crippled just at present, owing to
an accident which befell Hirst, the left end
in practice game yesterday afternoon
with the scrubs" He became mixed up in
a scrimmage, and when picked UP was
found to have sustained a fractured cellar
bone This will keep him out Of the game
for the balance of the season, particularly
in the game with the University OF Nlr-
ginia, on November II, on Georgetown field
His absence from the team will prove a
great drawback, there are no substi-
tutes who are regarded as capable OF filling
the end with the same vigor and dash.
Vandeventer and Horsey are substitutes for
the honor, and the choice will most likely
be made from one Of these. The game this
afternoon with Swarthmore College, which
will be played If the weather clears up, will
most likely include Horsey as left end.
