GALLAUDET AT GETTYSBURG
Boys From Columbian Line Up Against
Strong Franklin and Marshall
College Outfit.

Washington's pigskin chasers will be
industriously engaged On the gridiron
this afternoon. A number OF games are
slated for local teams, two being played
in this city and another one at Gettys-
burg. Georgetown and Columbian Uni
versity squads will tear up the turf on
the local lots, while the sturdy mutes
of Gallaudet will journey to the Historic
fields of Gettysburg. there to engage
the college eleven of that burg.
In each instance the local teams are
due for a contest, although there seems
to be little doubt as to the outcome OF
the game at Georgetown. In view of the
remarkable game Georgetown has pu;
up thus far this season, its supporters
are sanguine of victory. although they
do not go so far as to hope that the
blue and the gray may be able to finish
the game without being scored upon.
Three Shutouts.
In the three games played Georgetown
has BANKED each of it's opponents, none
of the teams being able to cross its goal
line. Against such team as the mid
vi AHudpOIlS the ledI WdS uU
mean achievement.
Coach Suter is of the opinion, how
ever, that his pets will make it cal
cimine affair because of the styles of
game he will use. He is SO surfeited
with talent that he will direct fast play,
throwing men into the game just as
quick as those in the line tire.
The line, as determined upon last
night by Coach Suter,a and Captain Reilly.
is as follows: McGettigan, left end;
Thompson, left tackle; Mahoney, LEFT
guard; Givens, CENTER Rorke, right
guard; Seitz, right tackle; S. EdmoA-
ston. right end; Buckley, quarterback;
Captain Reilly, left halfback; Hart, right
halfback, and Carroll. fullback. During
the game Murray Russell will be given
Mahoney will start.
The game will be called at 2:3o
o'clock.
Columbian Game.
Columbian's squad has proposition
on its hands in the outfit from Franklin
and Marshall. This team has been play
ing splendid ball, and will give a good
accounting of itself. The local eleven
has had no end of difficulty in getting
out sufficient men to round out team.
which, of course, has been a serious
handicap.
1t has. however, demonstrated its
knowledge of and ability to play the
game in spite of these setbacks. In the
games it has played TO date it has COM
PEELED its opponents to extreme effort
to cross it's line. The game is scheduled
for o'clock The lineup determined
upon is as follows: Musgrave, left end:
l.ft arl
Lewis. center: Hcine, right guard; Kel-
ly, right tackle; Smith and Poe, righ;
end; Redington, quarterback; Mclean,
left halfback; Areovistis, right half
back; Machler. fullback.
Gallaudet's. mole skin bunch will leave
Washington for Gettysburg at an early
hour this morning, arriving in that town
early enough to give the players a
chance to rest up.
Gallaudet hasn't shown this season its
old time form and aggressiveness. 1t
suffered much from the loss of some
of it's best men, and in the absence Of
material to succeed them. Unless 1t
puts up a much faster article today than
it has at any time this season, it is
liable to leave It's scalp dangling at the
belt of the boys at Gettysburg.
This team has played a fast game
right through It's Scncuuie, ana III eacn
has shown improvement. The general
opinion is that the mutes are up against
ii today.
Gallaudet's line will probably be:
Richards. left end; McDonough. left
tackle; Heweston, left guard; Hem
street. center; Garrett. right guard:
Mather, right tackle; Escherich. right
end; Phelp, quarterback; Erickson, left
halfback: Winemiller, right halfback;
Meyer, fullback.
Sixteen other college games are slat-
ed for this afternoon in the East. OF
these the most important will be the
struggle at Ithaca, n. Y. between the
and the Carlisle Indians.
Graduate Manager of Athletics Tho,np-
son. of Georgetown University, has been
selected to referee the contest.
The one game which will be closely
watched locally will be that between
Lafayette and Manhattan at Easton. Pa
is scheduled to entertain the
boys next Saturday, and
is consequently anxious to learn of the
Keystone State players work.
