OFF FOR THE METROPOLIS.
Georgetown to Play Fordham To-
morrow.

The Blue and Gray foot ball squad of
twenty men. accompanied by Coach
Newman. Manager Lynch assistant man
ayers. trainer, rubbers, and Il delegation
of enthusiastic rooters left in a special
car ut o'clock today over the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad for New York city,
where tomorrow they will meet Fordham
on the gridirOn. The game promises to
be one Of the hardest fought battles Of
the year.
Georgetown brings with it two victories
a tie and d defeat. to which list they ara
more than anxious to add victory from
Foriham for obvious reasons. Last sea-
son the .Gothamites overwhelmingly de-
feated the boys from the hill. This year
their team is about the same as last year
but by dope seems a trifle stronger.
Georgetown on the other hand is 100 per
cent better.
Fordham has only been licked once this
year and has many big scalps OH the
wampum. They lost to Princeton in a
17-0 contest, but by all reports their work
was of better caliber than the result
would indicate. No touchdown was made
after the first half and twice In the second
session the New Workers carried the ball
across the Tigers goal line. only to be
showed back by penalties. They lost over
300 yards by penalties during the game,
and it is stated that even some OF the
Princeton undergraduates took Fordham's
part when they claimed the officials were
unfair.
Tile two teams which clash tomorrow
are nearly of the same weight. Fordham
is counting a great deal on the end runs
of Geary and White to bring them their
points. But Georgetown claims that they
have an eleven-men team and thus expects
every one to help make the scores. Leo
Gray O5 bunch, is this years captain and
left guard Of the Fordhamites.
AS will be seen by the lineup at the
head of this article, Georgetown will
make three changes in the lineup which
started the North Carolina battle. Stew

ankle and will be at his old job at quar-
ter. McNulty. who Is again allowed to

veteran with two years experience and a
peach at circling the ends. Cunniff' s

be taken along and may get in before the
game is over. but Wymard will be in the
initial line. The latter is big. rangy fell
low and a steady player. II his work in
scrimmaging can be taken as a criterion
he should be fully capable of handling
both his position and his man, who Is the
opponents leader. -
The game will be played at American
League Park. While in the city George
town will stop at the Murray Hill Hotel.
They are scheduled to return on the mid
night train tomorrow from New York. and
here's hoping that they bring victory
with them.

as yet to miss his first one, having booted
the ball squarely between the posts after

off two Of the prettiest trick plays ever
witnessed in the High School games. a

Although Tech was expected to win the
game against Central, no one dreamt OF

cannot he said of any other b 6 team in
The country. Besides. Yale is working up
10 its game with Princeton without;

The Carlisle Indians have been placed

which Carlisle won from the sNavy are
