afternoon between Lena and SIZES had
their attention called to mirage in
which could be plainly seen the villages,

country forty miles away, between
which and the Saint Paul road lay

When so loyal Hatchetites return to

will be the 1893 football team. which
promises to mark d new epoch in the
gridiron history OF the downtown school
Far from being demoraIized after the
severance Of relations with Georgetown
as was predicted last fall, football has
taken a new lease on life, and from
present prospects the Hatchetites should
have a team which should attract wide
attention, not only for the local inter
est centered in G. w. L. affairs, but
for the quality Of play itself
Seldom has the college had any ma
terial from preparatory schools 10 draw
upon. The coach has generally had 10

have already seen service in college
Byrd, the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege quarterback, IS a fair representa-
tive OF these.
Squad Still Grows.
In the past few days several new men
reported and the squad Is now SO
large that Coach Nelson will have
some difficulty in selecting the varsity
lineup.
Among the new men is Pasin. former
" OF Western High School. and Wood
berry Forest. He Is out for end and
stands a good chance OF making good.
Eickhon, from Purdue, a law student.
came out for the line. He is a heavy.
siOcky man and bids fair 10 give the
other candidates a run for q place.
Sturgess, who had some experience al

Hamilton, Central Highs captain OF
last year. has reported and IS pretty GER
tain 20 make good Ellis I.r.s. and
Brewster, the Tech trio. have been prac-
tclng regularly, and IL is more than
probable that they viii be seen in the
lineup this afternoon.

Clark, one OF last years scrubs. has
shown up in a surprising manner. lie
Is short and stocky, with plenty Of
nerve-just a man for the back field.
Pearce, the big Dental man, seems as
sured Of his place at center. He has
been away "A few days because Of A
stir ankle, but is expected this after
noon.
Several Of last years scrubs viii prob
ably report this week, when college
opens.
The practice to date has been merely
preliminary. Il Is expected that the
Buff and Blue will have a squad OF forty
or more by the time OF the FOrdham
game
Pumed for Western Maryland.
At present all efforts are being direct
ed toward a victory over Western
Maryland next Saturday. Western

Johnson handed out the second skirmish
on a silver platter with appropriate
trimmings in just two innings. Six hits
