ceIIent Shape.

The Georgetown University Preparatory

At the beginning of the year the af-
fairs of the association were in bad

of the old men &. aduated last June, thus
leaving the work new ones. The
Golfers of the treasurer were also empty.
A big debt hung over the society. To re-
organize was the only course left to them.
The younger crowd at the school went
TO work with a will and soon got things
Strengthened out SO that they could find
out where they were at. Then friend
came forward and paid off the debt,
thus giving all of the years dues over
to the committee for use on this year
teams.
When this work was completed the
vacancies in the managing board had to
be filled. and here again difficulties were
encountered. but by perseverance the
roster was finally competed, as follows:
President, Manning Gaynor, %; secre-
tary, Walter Cahil, 'O9: treasurer, Henry
Haizlip, %: manager of loot ball, VII
liam Stanton 10: manager OF basket pail.
Edward Fraunheim, %: manager OF
track, Donald Daley, 10: manager OF
base ball, Frank Jones. 10; manager OF
crew, Fred O'Leary, 10; assistant man
ager of track, Patrick Clark, IL; assist
ant manager of basket ball, Harry NaWn,
II; manager of foot ball for 1919, John
Langmuir, 10: captain of foot ball. j.
Ennis McQuail, 'O9; captain of basket
ball. William Brennan, %; captain o.
base ball, Manning Gaynor, 'Vo. The
captains of crew and track are to be
elected the first week in December.

only nine pins. Williams of the Printing

some of the members of the Virginians'

against them in three good games, al
though they met defeat in the entire set

with Indignation over what he believed
was a punk decision. He cuts up at the

The first three innings were played in
jig time, neither team scoring. In the
last of the fourth Cleveland scored three
runs and it was raining quite a little. OF
course the cue for the team behind was to
out the program Each batter had to
carefully wipe his bat before coming to
the plate, and after each strike he would
let it slip away, and then have to rewipe
it. Every second brought more rain and
more kicks from the Tigers, but 1 decided

Foot Ball Season Good.

The foot ball team has disDanded, after
closing what may be termed, considering
the poor prospects for good team at the
opening of school, most SUCCESSFUL
season. OF five games played three were
victories and two defeats. They broke
even in two contests with Western High,
won from the Holy Name Athletic Club
and Department of Agriculture elevens,
and held Episcopal High School OF Alex
and la down to one touchdown, much
lower score than either Technical or Cen
trail was defeated by in their battles with
the Virginia school.
Manager Stanton endeavored to arrange
a game with Tech ior the interscholaSt.c
championship of the district, but the
manual l. ainers refused. AS no reason
was given by the hign school manager,
the Blue and gray school claim the title
by forfeiture.
The c. p. monogram was awarded
to the following players: Haizlip, Murl ny,
LAWYER, w. OiBrien. P. OBrien. Ball

and Stanton. These men will elect a
captain for next year some time this
week John Langmuir has been elected
manager for next season and, proitnS
by the experience of his predecessor, he
will begin work on his schedule at once
His intention is to arrange twelve games
for next fall, thus being sure of having
lots OF work for the men.
The basket ball season has already been
opened. 1t Is the intention of Manager
Fraunhefm to arrange as many games
as possible. Some of these will be played
in Ryan gymnasium, while others will
come off as preliminaries to the varsity
contests This plan was tried with great
success two years ago and should work
well this season.

Track Team.

The track team will not start practice
until after the Christmas holidays. This
year all will work for the one end, Of
winning the interscholastic relay cham
pionship Of the District. 1t is not likely
that much time will be given to training
for other events except weight throwing.
In that department they have on the bill
both McQuail and Kerwin. These men
are both capable Of sending the twelve
pound shot over forty feet, and hence
should have no trouble in bringing points
into the preps' scoring column.
For the relay team they have some fast
men in Nawn, Dahill Jones, Connolly
Leishear, Weiser, Gaynor, Haizlip and
OConnor All of these have shown up
well in previous years, and from them a
crack four will probably be developed.
The crew will again SO to the American
Henley. Last year the props won the
championship race for interschoIastic
eights in that regatta, so that the one
object of the oarsmen of this season will
be to develop boat capable of success
fully defending the title.
OF last years crowd there are McQuail
Brady and Kelly who are eligible for tnis
seasons boat With these as a nucleus,
and with the big bunch of heavy men
who say they going in for the sweeps,
the eight should be able to duplicate the
feat Of the champions of 1905.

no reason why the embryo collegians
should not run away with the champion
ship next spring. OF the new ones the
most promising are Langrnuir, O'Bren
and Weiser, ex-junior preps; Brennan
from Boston Academy; Kerwin, an ex-
Lowell High star. and Connolly of the
