Blue and Gray's Final Game.
Promptly at 3 pm tomorrow the two
foot ball teams representing Georgetown
University of this city and Washington
and Lee University of Blacksburg, Va,
respectively. viii star; their final game
on the Blue and Gray gridiron. What
the outcome will be is hard to say, since
both elevens have gone through the sea-
son playing in varied form, sometimes
showing great speed and knowledge of
the game and at other times doing just
the opposite.
On paper Georgetown should win. The
close scores by which the Washington
and Lee players have defeated smaller
colleges, coupled with tie game agar st
North Carolina and the decisive defeat
which George Washington administered
them. place them far below the hilltop
crowd in the dope column. But they may
surprise the Georgetowners since they
have, of late worked like fiends in order
10 get In the proper condition to make
good. AT any rate 1t is conceded by all
who have seen them practice that they
are great deal stronger now than at any
other time and season.
Coach Brown has been working hard
with his men and has drilled them in a
great number of new plays. He has been
assisted by Coach Roller of Virginia Mill
tary Academy. Both these men think that
W. & l.. will win, but they do not ex-
pect a big score, whichever way the vic
tory goes. Capt. Anderson is also conf
dent that they will take a scalp back
home with them.
But all this counts for little, since both
Coach Newman and Capt. Miller of
Georgetown have the same opinion about
their own men. ForecaSting is lots of
fun for those who do 1t, but the battle
is won on the field, SO that the best way
to decide which is the better team is to
nfk<
your opinion on what you have seen.
Washington and Lee will line up with a
very different list of players than was
presented when last seen in this city.
Woodhouse will play center f1anked by
Pipes at left guard and Pelter at right.
The first of these men weighs POO pounds,
while the other two tip the scales at IT'S
and 80. respectively. The three to-
gether average POS pounds, and should
prove stone wall in the middle of the
line. Blackburn, a big fellow weighing
16S, will hold down left tackle. His part
ner on the right side of the line will be
another husky by the name of Osbourne.
He weighs 1873 pounds. The ends are
light. but make up for their lack of size
by speed. Thixton, 153, and Carey, 145,
are the men. Little is known about the
former. but the latter has a reputation
throughout the south as being a gritty,
tricky and speedy end. Fenerstein 40, a
man much mentioned for the All-southern,
will run the team. Behind him he will
have Armentrout and OZard at the halves
and Capt. Anderson at full. The weights
of these men are, I'm the order mentioned,
$50. 1I3 and 10. They average 1874 The
whole team averages ia pounds.
Georgetown will start the game with al
most the same team that played against
Virginia Maher will take Fitzgerald S
place at full, while Billie Sitterding, the
diminutve quarter. will be at the helm
1t is likely, however. that Wymard Will
play at least half the game at either
guard or tackle. He is a fine punter, and
in case there should be good deal of
kicking he would prove valuable man.
The full lineup, with weights and aver
ages. follows:
