IMPROVEMENT AT G. W. U.
Gait, New Quarter Back, Drives
Team Through Fast Practice.


The snappiest practice seen at Van
Ness Park for some time was on tap
yesterday afternoon. the George Wash
ington Varsity team displaying more
ginger and team play than has yet been
apparent in their work. A fifteen-minute
scrlmmage with the scrubs showed con-
clusively that Coach Nelson IS building
up a strong offense. the solution of
which will undoubtedly give the oppo-
nents OF the Buff and Blue team con-
siderable trouble during the remainder of
the season.

in good style, running tho team with ac-
curacy. and getting off his plays with
more speed than the Hatchetite eleven

doubtedly a find of the first water
Whitehead played part Of the time
at tackle on the varsity. and Aston was
shifted to guard. The change worked to
advantage The varsity had no trouble
in running the oval across the scrubs
line. and followers OF the team antici-
pate a large score in the Gallaudet game
tomorrow.
II will be recalled that Georgetown de-
feated the Mutes by to earlier in the
season. and the game Saturday between
the Hatchetites and the Mutes viii be
watched with all the more interest on

GREAT CROWD TO SEE GAME.
Harvard Expects $4,000 for Contest
with Carlisle Indians.

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. THE sale OF
tickets to graduates of Harvard for the
Carlisle Indian game next Saturday took
place yesterday. and for over three hours
there was a steady stream Of Grads"
applying for the precious cardboards.
In years previous the Indian game,
while well attended, was listed as any Of
the preliminary contests as far as the
sale OF seats was concerned. but for the
past two seasons the demand was so
great that there hes been sale OF seats
in Boston. Yesterday tickets were snapped
up eagerly.
Each graduate who applied was entitled
to four seats. while they lasted The
tickets were divided into two groups.

1t is extremely doubtful IL the public

number by far. The fact that Princeton
trounced the Indians last Saturday did
not seem TO decrease the demand for
seats. Carlisle has always been a great
favorite IN Cambridge and Boston, and
for years the Redskins have always had

The most noticeable feature was that

noon in the last hard practice II viii hold
before the game with the Indians on

almost as formidable as the first team.
Reggie Brown. the old half back in the

varsity gained with ease. and showed
dash OF speed which was most enccurag-
ing 10 the large crowd of undergraduates
who looked on. The men were kept on

well. Newhall ran the team splendidly.

PARK NOW MEMORY
OLD BALL GROUNDS COMPLETELY
 DEMOLISHED.
Work on Stands and Bieachers at New Athletic Field Is Being Pushed in Preparation for 1907
 Season.

Athletic Park is now nothing but a memory.
 No more will the enthusiastic shouts of frenzied fans echo and re-echo through the precincts of Pickett Springs. No more will the constituents of Mayor Slough be privileged to listen to the blood curdling threats showered and volleyed at that friendless, cringing wretch, "his 'umphs."
 When the force of workmen employ ed by General Manager. H. Ragland of the Montgomery Traction Company knocked off work at Athletic Park yes- terday afternoon, the only reminder of the once handsome grandstand was a pile of lumber on the ground. The bleachers also had been dismantled, and only a few remaining loads of the grandstand lumber were waiting to be carted off to the Capital Heights grounds.
 The lumber composing the fences around the Athletic Park grounds was all taken out to the new grounds yes- terday morning. Part of the new grandstand has already been built, and it will be completed with the timbers from the old stand at Athletic Park, while the fences and bleachers at the new grounds will be built from the lumber taken from the plant at Ath- letic Park.
 The contract for grading the grounds has been let to County Engineer Wash burn. who will begin work Monday morning. and by the middle of Feb ruary it is thought the new grounds will be ready for the opening of the baseball season of 1907.
