FOOTBALL GAMES
FOR NEXT FALL
Annual Contest With
Virginia to Be Played
Here November IS.

Manager Fitzgerald yesterday an
nounced his football schedule for the
1907 season for Georgetown, and though
there are two dates that are still open,
Il Is more than hSely that they will be
filled BY teams OF minor Importance.
The schedule for next fall contains
games with the leading univer-
sites in this part OF the country,
and also a game with the leading Jesuit
institution IN New York State. The.
proposed game with ST. Louis Unlver-
sity has apparently fallen through
Gallaudet will open the season on
Georgetown Field october s. Baltimore
University. a new addition 20 tho
Georgetown schedule, will be seen on
the local gridiron this fail and from
the records made by this school during
the past three years II should be count
Cd on 70 give Georgetown a hard game.
FOrdham University. Of New York,
comes in for the first big game OF tho
year.
Game With Fordham.
The game will be played in New York
and viii be one Of the two trips that
are 10 be made by the Blue and Gray
aggregate Fordham's showing IN
football last fall was Of a high order
and the struggle between these two
teams should be Just about as interest
ing as the baseball series. The North
Carolina trip mas been abandoned, and
instead the TaF Heels viii journey to
Washington for the annual game, No
vember 9.
The Virginia game is the most I'm
portant on the schedule and VIII be
played at Georgetown Field November
16. II was thought at first that the
game would be played IN CharlOttes-
vile this year. as the Virg1nidhs wanted
such an arrangement last year. The
chances Of drawing a large crowd 70
the game in Washington. however. IN
duced the SOutheTners 70 reconsider.

The game with V. P. / has been ar
ranged for Richmond and takes the
place Of the North Carolina trip. This
game ought 70 draw an immense crowd
In the Southern city. as the V P L
team is a great favOrite with the Rich
mOnd people Y. P. l. and Georgetown
did not meet last year. so the game next
fall viii mean a renewal Of relations
between these two institutions.
Captain butcher and Coach Reilly had
a conference Just before the husky lit
tie leader left for his home in Wilson's
sin, and IL was decided 70 have the men
report for practice the middle Of Sep
TENDER. This will give the squad Ihree
weeks 70 condition itself in before the
first game.
.Dhe prospects for q fast team at
Georgetown next fall were never bet-
ter and the students expect 10 see a.
repetition OF the work that made the
1895 Warriors famous throughout the
East. Most all Of last years team viii
be on hand. and with the experience
they had last year are expected 10 land
the championship OF the south Cap
tain BOcOck viii be missed at quarter
back but the chances are that Coach
Reilly viii develop a good man for the
position.
