Special Cars Will Garry
Squad and Rooters to
Annapolis Tomorrow.
TEAM WILL TACKLE
HARD PROPOSITION
"To Score Against Middies" Is
Slogan Sounded by Coach
and Players.

Since the George Washington football
warriors succeeded last Saturday in de-
feating the Maryland Aggies by the
same over aSelming score as the Navy
did just a week before, the interest in
the game tomorrow between the Bun
and Blue and the Navy has greatly in
creased.
It is no secret that the local collegians
expect to score on the Navy, and that
they regard this game as a rare oppor-
tunity TO show just in what class the
G. W. L. team belongs this year, for the
Navy Is in the same class with the big
four and the other great college elevens.
The game tomorrow, in fact, IS the only
one this year in which the team can be
said 10 buck Up against the real thing
in football
For this reason a large crowd n at
least 200 loyal local roOters will accom-
pany the George Washington team at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon on a series
of special cars TO Annapolis, armed with
the usual noise-making apparatus
megaphCnes, whistles, and horns. As
no admission is charged for the game
there will probably be a big crowd or
spectators on hand
The lineup for G. w U. viii be as
follows. Left end. Witten, MaXey; left
tackle, Hart, Mel; left guard, Aston,
Reese, center Powell. Brandt right
guard, Eckhoff, Clary; right tackle,
Sommers, Horn; right end, Brooks,
Hopson; quarterback, Bird, Porter right
halfback Crafts. Hamilton LEFT 1alt-
back. Ellis, DaUghertyi tuilbacks " lralls
JacOby, HOOten.

Gennalla Makes Sweep With Three
FirStS and One Third at
Brightwood.

The motorcycle events pulled of at
the BrightwOOd track yesterday were a
decided success. all Of the events being
closely contested and smoothly exc

The work Of Gennalla, in taking
three drsts and one third. was the
feature performance Of the card. IN
the tventy-mile motor contest the work
Of both Knight, the winner, and Berry

The pace was set FIRST by one and then
by the other throughout the race.
Knight with wonderful burst of
speed, crossed the wire first by a small
margin.
The twO-mile obstacle race, in which
each eutTauJ had 10 consume a scent

The race itself was an easy victory for
Gennalla. who had a big lead IN the

several good tackles. His passing OF

II is expected that the game viii have
to be upheld almost entirely by mex

lost heavily through graduation. This
is particularly applicable to the Central
high which has but eight of last year $
big squad 20 start work with. This viii
naturally be a setback. but the coaches,
who will have the men IN charge, seea-
conudent that the influx OF new ma
terial will offset this disadvantage in a
great measure.

Some Telling Losses.
None of the experienced men have the

Clagett proved the most telling losses
These men were the back bone of the
team and most consistent winners that
the school has developed In tae last
several years. They were both good for

none too good, reminder of his ca

steady that Seattle always has trou-
BILE beating him. Dode does not like
to pitch to Frisk any better than
other twirlers, but there is no way
of avoiding it this year.
Spencer is not as great a catcher as
Stanley, but he is faster, and one of
the best inside men in the game out
here. AS sticker he has it on Sc
attle's favorite by a wide margin.
The conclusion is that Aberdeen is
as strong, if not stronger than a year
ago. Seattle has also gained strength,
but with Schofield and Ed Hickey out
of the game the champions have the
edge. There is slight advantage for
the home team in the matter of
grounds and crowd, but Seattle is
such an easy city for a visiting club
that it is merely nominal.

ASSAULTED ON TRAIN.
Strange Actions of J. w. Hatfield on
Train-Beats Stranger With
Revolver.

]. w. Hatfield, bookkeeper for the
Chehalis Produce company of this
city, annoyed Isadore Isenberg, pas
senger on the train occupying the
seat in front of him, when near Gate
Friday, and when demonstrated with
pulled a revolver and beat Isenberg
over the head. John Larkin, the well
known logger. parted the men, but
not before Isenbergs head was badly
cut. Hatfield was arrested at Oak
Vile by Deputy Sheriff John Rogers,
and taken to the county Jail at Mon
tesano. On Saturday he was given
a preliminary examination and was
held in $1,000 bail to answer in the
superior court.
The friends of Hatfield are mysti-
fed by his strange behavior. He is
reputed to be very peaceable man,
and was never before known to have
trouble. 1t is thought that the re-
cent death Of his wife and child has
caused his mind to become unbal-
anced.
