NEW LIFE PUT INTO
THE FOOT BALL SQUAD
Prospects at Georgetown Are
Brighter-Making Efforts
to Strengthen the Weak
Points on the Team.

Several things have occurred within
the past week, to brighten the hopes of
the supporters of Georgetowns eleven.
The mass meeting at the law school
Thursday evening had the good result of
bringing out a number of new candi-
dates, so that the squad now numbers
about thirty men. which is much larger
than at any time last season. The poor
showing of the team in it's first game
and the severe criticism which followed
had the desired effect of putting new
life into the whole squad, so that they
are now In condition to play a hard, fast
game Devine and Mclaughlin, who
were hurriedly taken from the scrubs
to play halfbacks, after the regular play.
ers had been disqualified ten minutes
before the game, and who had just re-
turned to school and were in poor con-
dition, are now in first-class shape, Nc
Laughlin playing his old position at end
and Devne again in the back field. The
large number of big fellows out for line
positions has made it possible to have
two sets of guards and tackles, which
will undoubtedly improve the speed and
strength of the eleven.
Stronger Than Last Year
Coach Doc Reilly was in no way dis
couraged over the showing of his team
against Gallaudet in its first game and
the correspondingly high score of Vir-
ginia in a later game against the same
team. Virginia was in much better
shape, the coach claims, when 1t played
Gallaudet and was out to beat George
towns score. Both theCoach and Capt.
butcher are of the opinion that as the
team has been going the past week it is
much stronger even than last seasons
combination.
In Mclaughlin and Miller, veterans of
last season, Georgetown has as good q
pair of ends as can be found in the south.
Devine, at right half; Thompson, at left,
and Capt butcher. at fullback, make a
combination of backs which for speed
and all around experience can hardly be
equaled among the smaller universities
Cohan, at quarterback, has already shown
his sped in the Gallaudet game, where
his wonderful running back Of punts
was the feature of the game.
Buckley, who played center last year
in the Virginia game, is back in his old
place, but Cullen, the speedy little tackle
of last season, has shown up to such
good advantage in this position that he
may displace Buckley in the big games
1t is hard to judge between two sets of
big guards, Todd and Snyder and Muir
ray and Munhall. All four are about
evenly matched. but the former two seem
to have the call just at present
The eleven lost a good man In the big
tackle Fitzgerald, who was hurt in a re-
cent scrimmage. He promises to be on

Assuredly not. London has advantages
which are not possessed by any other

Hughey Jennings Hot Shot.

Hughey Jennings is one of the most
sarcastic individuals in the base ball
business. Hughey's sarcasm is of the
quick but sure variety, and never fails to
impress itself upon ones mind.
1t is not generally known, but It is a
fact, that all those troublous times over
In Baltimore during the period when the
champion Orioles We're taking the Ma
tional League pennant thrice were indi-
rectly caused by Hughey and his sarcas-
tic remarks.
Hughey would urge Doyle, McGraw,
Brodie and the others on to the FRAY
While he would remain apart from the

VINO cannot stand anything slow.
FINALLY, at the last stop the cars made,
the conductor happened to come into the
section where the ball players We're seat

brass buttons:
Say, my friend this is really the slow
est train of cars 1 ever travelled on Isn't
there some way of waking up the engi-
neer so that he can get on a little more
speed?'
The conductor was an old fellow, with
record of many years service on that
particular road and 1t hurt him to hear
the line criticised. So turning to Jen-
nings. with sour expression on his griz-
Zled countenance, he said in an ugly,
| though impressive manner:

not like the way this train is run you

Men who handle hides, wool or cattle
are sometimes infected with diseases

these Is anthrax, q, malady common among

so among sheep and hoof cattle.
Anthrax is not normally a human dis
ease, but men who come in contact with
animals suffering from IL sometimes take

The United States Government, in order
to prevent the introduction OF anthrax
germs, requires all hides imported into
the country to be thoroughly disinfected.
Despite this ~preoaution, the disease some
times appears.

excltable temperament. Increased age, il

Under these circumstances what excuse
