Georgetown's prospects for a cham
pionship football team next fall received
quite shock yesterday when it was
ennounced that Hodgson. the star halt
back on the 1906 eleven. had decided
to give up the local institution as his
alma mater and attend an engineering
school next fall.
Hodsson is a Washington boy. prom
inent in high school athletics as a star
player on the Western High School
team of 1895. He entered the Georgetown
Law School last fan and made a favor
able impression with Coach Reilly
Hodgson made good as a guard right
from the start. later developing into the
greatest punter Georgetown has had
since the days OF Jim Morgan. In the
Virginia game Hodgson came very near
winning the memorable struggle for
the Blue and Gray on several attempts
at goals from the field which he missed
by narrow margins.
He Beat George Washington.
George Washington attributed its de-

was he who practically took the heart
out Of the Bun and Blue by putting the
ball between the goal posts from the
forty-five-yard mark In the first half.
In the many selections from the All
Southern aggregation at the end OF the
season, Hodgson was the unanimous

The chance Of playing st. Louis Uni

The Westerners are very anxious to
nave the local team go out there for the
game and such action on the part Of

question. Some Of the men are of the
opinion that the schedule is plenty long
enough now and that II another game

Captain of a Ship Reports That the
Sea Is Almost Boiling Hot.


Our oldest inhabitants" are won
dering at the peculiarities of the
weather. They cannot remember a
time when January weather like that
which we have experienced for the
past two weeks prevailed. Capt.
Chaplain of the British steamer Shi-
mosa, just in at New York from the
Caribbean, offers a possible explana-
ton. He says the sea is literally
filled with hot water, and that it is
almost a-boiling in the gulf stream.
He left the stream to escape the heat,
but when he got into the green
water he found the heat no less OPP
pressive. He dropped a thermometer
over the side at the end of a line,
and after leaving it in the water an
hour found it registered something
above so degrees. The normal tenn
perature at this season should be
35 degrees or less. The atmospheric
temperature should have been below
the freezing point. I'VE could have
gone in swimming off Sandy Hook
in summer-weather water" said

A thorough examination was made,

the men were all securely locked in

Burnett stated that he, too, was
