FOOT BALL MEN GET
LIGHT PRACTICE
Georgetown Preparing for Next
SeaSon-Bending Energies
to Defeat Virginia.

The foot ball squad of Georgetown is in
fun swing these warm days ana Or Joseph
Kelley, the coach, is putting the men
through the lighter work necessary before
they settle down to the hard, grueing
work that will follow for the schedule that
will be played this season.
As mentioned in last Sundays Star. the
team has plenty of leftover material of last
season to build on, the only ahsrntccs
from graduation and otherwise will bc En-
Capt. BocoCk Stuart, Morton and Howard.
Hence. there are plenty of good men. says
Capt. butcher, to get team from.
Manager Fitzgerald of the foot ball team
has given out the schedule for the season.
opersng Saturday, October >, with Gallau-
Diet, and playing every Saturday thereafter
until Thanksgiving day. when the season
comes to Il close. The only open Saturday
is November %. but 1t is not likely that a
game will be played on that date. the
team will want to rest from the game with
Virginia. November 10. until Thanksgiv-
ing day, when it plays George Washing
ton.
The team will make only two trips away
from It's campus. going to New York Dc-
tober &c. where il will play FOrdham. and
then one week later going down to Rich
mond, Va. where il meets Virginia Poly
~tcChniC. and the schedule, taken AS whole.
is very short one for the Blue and Gray
contingent.
OF course. it is expected that during the
practice stunts Coach Rcilley viii get some
of the unattached teams to come up and
line up against them just for praCtice-the
soldiers from Washington barracks and
Fort MyeT, the sailors from the navy yards
and the leading high sChoOls-all of which
will help better than d dozen teams of
scrubs
The greatest game that the Blue and
Gray have on their schedule. and the one
they prefer to win above all others is that
November 10 NiTglulaS
toward this contest DIR. Kelley will direct
all of his best efforts. The Nirginias have
lost many of their best men of last season
team. who. ii will be recalled. gave George
town a beating. but this year the players
on the hill across Rock Creek are of the
opinion that things will be much more even,
with chances in their favor.
While Georgetown IS preparing for this
game, having six contests ahead for devel-
oping it's team. the Virginias will have a
decided advantage for they will have
critic knows that 1t is these practice games
that help develop the team for the final
struggle. A comparison of the two sched-
ules given below will show how much bet
ter the Charlottesville boys will be trained
for the contest than the local representa-
tiveS.
The big game. from a local standpoint
between Georgetown and George Washing
ton. will pull out the largest crowd. and the
excitement will not be one whit less than
over the game with the Virginias, as there
has sprung up in the last few years very
warm rivalry between these two local In
StitutiOnS.
Among the new candidates for positions
on the Blue and Gray team is Thompson.
the youngster who two years ago played
such a whirwind game at quarterback for
the Army and Navy Prep School of this
city.
