Michael Thompson of This City Has
 Great Team in Georgetown.


 Washington, Sept 25.-There is an
 unusual amount of interest in football this year at Georgetown The college opened on Friday last and already there is a large number of candidates out for the team. Only two of last
 years team will not return, and with the abundance of new material on hand the prospects for a successful season are brighter than ever before.
 Of the men whro brought the cham pionship of the south to Georgetown last year there are back, Mackay. cen ter; Lynch and Boulay, guards; Kerns and Russell, tackles; Drill, end; Barry and Reilly, halfs, and Buckley, quar- terback. Devlin, last years brilliant fullback, will not return. Barry, the
 Virginia boy who made such an envi- able record as halfback, will captain the team this year. M J. Thompson, graduate manager of athletics, Pe- turned to the college couple of weeks before it opened and has everything in excellent shape The schedule is the best that Georgetown has ever had, and promises the most successful sea son the university has yet had in foot ball. W. W. Church, tackle on the Princeton '97 team, has been secured as coach.
 Scranton, Sept 25.-Frank Rogan, 19 years old, died yesterday from foot ball injury. He practised last Satur- day with the Scranton High School eileen. Tn rush he was badly thrown and carried from the field. It was. not thought at that time that his hurts were serious.
 Branford Point, Sept. 25.--Colum- bias football practice has assumed the. strenuous aspect. The fact that so few of the veterans have appeared and that the season will open at the Pan,- American Exposition on Saturday is compelling Coach Sanford to drill team into shape to begin the year. auspiciously and inspire confidence in the eleven. Columbia had her hands full with the University of Buffalo last year and could run up only IT points after a hard struggle. This year the upstate team is more or less of an unknown quantity.
 Princeton, Sept. 25.-Practice of the y characterized by fast but not severe playing. End and tackle plays, quick openings through the line and kicking and receiving punts occupied most of the the, time.s The. first weeding7out occurred yesterday, the squad being re- dpced from about eighty to fifty. The twof training tables started up last night and the following men were, ta- ken on: Varsity table -Pe1l,, Meier, Davis, Dana, H. McClave Scrub table, I Hale, Fisher, Wright, Mills, Domitt, fcaptain Roper, Henry, R. McClave, Butkiewicz, -McCord, Under hill, Montgomery, Brown, Moore. T
 Ithaca, Sept. 25.--A long run by Purcell was the feature of the scrim- mage yesterday afternoon at Percy Field. The first lineup of the year was not entirely satisfactory to the coaches. The scrimmage lasted twenty and exceptsfor a 25 yard run by Purcell no brilliant fplaying was seen. .sa The Varsity back. field was composed of Brewster quarter back; Purcell, left half back: Coffin, right half back; Schoellkopf. full back. Not one of these men is heavy. Prior to the lineup the squad did fast signal work for an hour. No new men have reported as yet. Cooper, the big guard, has not yet put in an appear ance. Smith was put opposite Da-l witt at center and played we'll. The Varsity gains through the line were small. 9aTag
 There is no indication as yet that | any ends will be developed this season to equal the stars of the past decade | that that position a has produced. Really great ends were scarce last year and may be so this year unless some turn up. Capt. Camp-E bell, of Harard, is as good as the best, put may play behind the line this year. the best end last year, is put of it. Gould of Yale is the vet eran of the lot. with Campbell behind he line, and is a reliable man, fast 'or his weight, but not the equal of he famous Hinkey. At Princeton here are no signs of a Poe or Pal ner the wonderfully speedy pair of
