The Georgetown Preparatory School
will put a football team in the field
again this year TO battle with the other
high and preparatory schools for the
District championship.
Permission for the undergraduates az
Georgetown TO continue football was
given by the faculty yesterday. At the
close Of the 1907 season the Props were
in a bad way financially, and 10 was
feared there would be no eleven tbs
year, as the faculty forbade the man
aEer-elect to arrange n schedule until
the Indebtedness was cleared OF. Man
ager Stanton has succeeded in accom-
plishing this task, and the call for can
didates has been given. Games are be-
ing arranged.
The prospects for team which meas
ures up TO last years crack eleven, are
poor at present. Not one man OF the
1901 team Is on hand 10 represent the
school again this year. This is the only
time IN the history Of the Prep depart
ment that veterans have not been out
for the team, consequently the work OF
developing an eleven from the new men

in good condition the club could not hope
to get better man.

should decide to take up major league
base ball. McGraw said that last season
he learned Of Jones ability as base ball
player. and made him an offer through
Shortstop Kinney of the Yale team. Jones,

took up professional base bali he would
become a member Of the Polo grounds

one Of the best college eatchers ever de-

salary to become New York player.
