SATURDAYS BIG GAME.
President to Be Invited to Georgetown
George Washington Battle.

The President of the United States will
he invited to attend the George Washing
ton-Georgetown foot ball game. winch Is
to be played on Georgetown Field Satur-
day afternoon. 1t is the desire of the two
rival universities to make the annual foot
ball and base ball games the principal at
fractions of the athletic season. The ath-
letic associations of George Washington
and Georgetown will strive to make these
events worthy of the support of every sport
loving resident of the District of Column
bja. To make the games more important
the authorities of the two universities wish
to have the President attend the annual
meets of the athletic teams. 1t Is under
stood that officials from Georgetown and
George Washington will call at the White
House and urge the President to honor the
foot ball teams with his presence Saturday.
There is a possibility that the President
will attend.
Coach Rorke of George Washington is
working increasingly to put his team IN
condition for the game. The schedule was
fortunately arranged so as to include a
stronger team at every contest, and 1t Is
admitted by all who have watched the
Orange and Blue players that they have
grown stronger each game. In the game
Saturday with the Maryland Medical Col
Iege, composed of men who outweighed the
locals fifteen pounds to the man, Rorke's
warriors displayed more fire and energy
tndn IN any previous game. DuIluB the en-
tire game not a man was laid out, and
when Saturday rolls around the eleven will
be in better condition than ever before.
The Orange and Blue men were inform
ed at their training quarters last night that
Georgetown was betting even money that
they would score 80 points. Coach Rorke
stated last night that he would back his
team against Princeton or Yale on the
proposition that they would not score 81
points. He expects his team to score
against Georgetown. His confident views
are shared by every member of the foot
ball squad, and fully twelve hundred
George Washington students will be out
Saturday to cheer their team.

years ago. and in first place last season.
'Dougherty is a friend of mine and

Dougherty fell with u.s. Base ball is as
much business as any other thing that
you could imagine. Base ball players are
bought and sold. They are assets of a

was playing pitcher in the outfield. and
recognizing in Dousherty a good player
they wanted him, offered more for him and
