ST. JOHNS TO MEET HOPKINS
GAME is ARRANGED FOR NEXT
SATURDAY.
Collegians Being Worked Hard Pre-
paratory For One Game
of Season.

The preparation for the Hopkins
game is being pushed along very hard
by Prot. Cissel and Hopkins The
line-ups for yesterday and the day
before, were about the fer cest of the
season, and the men were not sent OF
the field until il was so dark that they
eouldn't see the ball.
A great effort is being made TO
strengthen the varsity line and in
both the scrimmages of this week they
have shown great Improvement, On
Monday the chief work was to
strengthen the 'varsity's defense and
although the scrubs were allowed TO
keen the ball the whole afternoon.
thev never made a first down In the
lineup yesterday several men were
hurt.
Perkins, the big guard, who weighs
1877 pounds. and is the heaviest man
on the line, had his arm broken and
is out of the game for the remainder
of the season. 1t is hard TO say at
present who will replace him, hut
Gwynn, who has been playing a very
good game as substitute, will very
likely take his place ON the line.
Several other changes will be made in
the team. Battle, who has been play
ing quarter the whole season, is also
injured aud will not likely be able
to play on Saturday. Duval will take
his place at quarter, and Stevens,
Anderson and Quinby will be the
backs, who Will stalt the game.
This is the strongest set of backs
St Johns has, but they have not all
been able to play together in any one
game this year OH account of injuries.
Even now it is very doubtful whether
Stevens or Anderson will be able to
play the whole game. In the Gallau-
Diet game on Saturday the team show
ed up better than in any other game
this year. They never had any trouble
in making the required five yards, and
frequently long gains of 10 and 20
yards were made straight through the
Gallaudet line. On the other hand
Gallaudet made first down only few
times aud would never have scored at
all had they not scored ON a fiuke.
The team played together we'll and
had the ball on Gallaudet's 10-yatd
line with 10 inmates to play in the
second half. but had to stop, as had
previously been agreed, in time to
catch the train.
BY comparing scores Hopkins un
doubtedly has the better team, but
only in one case, that of George Wash
lngton University, has the scores been
close. In the Hopkins. George Wash.
ington game the score was 0 to 0, and
in the St. John s. George Washington
game the score was Q TO IL. BY this
score an interesting game could be
looked for. But when considering
some of the later scores made by Johns
Hopkins the team appears to have
ckv 81 uf "a
splendid showing which Hopkins
made against Haverford, when they
defeated them 23 TO 6, shows that they
must have been making some changes.
Notwithstanding the good showing
made by Hopkins this season and the
seemingly superiority of their team,
the men on the st Johns team are
going into the game with full expec-
tations of winning. The HopkiDs-St
Johns game has always been a big
game for both institutions, and the
student body look forward TO winning
this game with greater interest than
any other game of the season. After
the Hopkins game on Saturday only
one more game on the schedule re.
mains to be played. That is with
Pennsylvania Military College at
Chester, Pa. This is the fourth game
which st. Johns has played at Ches-
ter. The first year st. Johns won.
The second year F. NJ. O. won and
last year they played a tie game, so
this years game is practically the
ruber. No game will be played with
Western Maryland and Washington
Colleges this year, but both have
been admitted into the league, so base.
ball games will be arranged with
these colleges for this year as well as
track meet, which will be held at
