NOTES OF THE GAME

An hour before the game Ruiz and
Thompson were notified that they
would not be allowed to engage in the
contest. as they had not fulfilled all
the entrance requirements. The matter
will doubtless be Strengthened out dur
ing the coming week, as it was merely
misunderstanding on the part Of the
Aathletes.

Unexpected Shake-Up in
Georgetown'S Line Part
ly Responsible.

Georgetown opened its football season
yesterday afternoon on its own field
with an inauspicious victory over Gal
laudet, the Blue and Gray eleven win
ming by TO 0.
The result was a surprise TO the many
Georgetown rcoters who journeyed
eagerly to the field to see their favorites
make their 1907 debut. The play was
ragged, the men in the line charged
badly, the backs did not work together
smoothly, in fact the only redCeming
feature OF the struggle from the George
town viewpoint was the work OF Jimmy
Cohen, successor to Bocock, pilot OF the
aggregation during TIE 1905 and 1906 sea-
Gems. The plucky little quarterback
was in the game from start to finish.
and his returns Of O'Donnells punts
saved Georgetown many times from
being kept in its own territory.
The Gallaudet men outweighed George
town, and were undoubtedly in better
physical condition. The prediction OF
the Kendall Green gridircn warriors
that they would spring a surprise on
their advorsaries was certainly carried
out. While the oftense of GalIsudet was
weak. il experienced practically little
difficulty in holding its opponents while
on the defense.
How 1t Was Done

having little the better OF the play.

HAD SLIPPED HER MEMORY.
Trivial Circumstance Forgotten by

met charming young girl, also en-

you" he said, as he approached her
with the air OF one having at least
claim of friendship on her.
The girl lifted her eyebrows and re.
garded him with a surprised look In
whic- there was not the slightest hint
of recognition.
Inc man looked little more than
surprised. In fact he looked and was
shocked.
"Of course you haven't forgotten,
he said, in dazed sort of way.
Forgotten what?" she replied
coldly.
