that the number present was very small,
and he expressed the hope that another
day would swell the squad. But his hopes
were fulfilled sooner than expectation, for
as soon as he started scrub game no
less than thirty husky athletes appeared
on the scene. with the result that at the
end of the practice both coach and stu
dents were very enthusiastic over the pros
poets of getting out a team this fall
capable to cope with the clubs of this
city and Baltimore.
That the interest being taken by the
Hilltoppers is Of more than an ordinary
nature is proven by the fact that half
of those out are prominent athletes of
the school. President Carlin of the Ath-
letic Association, Manager .>urray of the
foot ball department.. eX-Capt. Gibbs OF
the track team. Tom Smith, the crack
hurdler; John Powers the varsity oars
man: President Cohill of the prep yard
and Capt. Brady of the prep crew were
among the more prominent Of those who
took part. When such representative
number as this starts the inauguration
of the sport at Georgetown the chances
for success are exceptionally bright. and
hence Coach Williams has every reason
to be gratified.
After the workout the coach had a long
talk with some of the men, and arrange
ments were made for holding a regular
game this afternoon between two chosen
teams. These games will be continued
until Sunday, when it is believed that 1t
will be possible to start the interclass
series, after which a varsity will be
chosen to meet the CaledonianS of this
city Sunday morning. December Il.
Should this contest show the Hilltoppers
contests will be arranged with Baltimore
teams, In which case every chance will
be had to prove the possibilities of the
sport as a college activity.

Affair This Evening.

The annual promenade OF the George
town varsity crew invitations for which
were issued some time ago. will be
held at the Arlington this evening. All
arrangements have been completed by
Manager Byrnes. and the affair promises
to be most successful one. Not only
will it be of great advantage in finan-
cial way, but it will also be means for
increasing the interest in the rowing
sport among the students of the down
town schools, many of whom will turn
out for the evenings festivities.
The committee in charge of the enter
tainment consists of Manager William
Byrnes of the crew, y. S. Ferris pres
ident of the senior class of the medical
school: +. J. Mohn, president of the Sc
Nor class of the law school: Waldo r..

PREPS HAVE HARD WEEK.
Three Games Scheduled for Blue and
GRAY Colts.

Three hard battles in four days will give
the Georgetown Prep basket ball Quint
plenty of chances to look after its laurels
this week. Especially Is this so since one of
the contests will be considered when the
championship of the District is decided
and another will be against team that
has already scored one victory over the
Hilltoppers. However the Blue and Gray
lads are confident Of success and 1t will be
bitter disappointment II they prove I'M
| able to take care Of their chances.
The first encounter will come off this
afternoon at Fort Myer, where the school
team will clash with the speedy soldier
quint representing the army post. The
military aggregation has always proven
of sufficient caliber to hold its own with
the Props, and no doubt today's struggle
will be of the usual exciting kind. Capt.
Murphy Of the locals will start his strong
est lineup in the game and no chances
will be given the servants of Uncle Sam
to get lead.
Friday the Props will meet the gritty
Western High bunch in the opening battle
of the annual series between the two
schools. Rivalry between these teams
to be no exception. 1t will be remember
ed that the majority of District inter-
scholastic titles in the indoor sport have
fallen to these schools and on two differ
has been the deciding one. 1nasmuch
as dopesters claim that the Red and
White five is of about the same strength
as the Blue and Gray, this seasons list
of battles is attracting considerable at
tention from lovers of close competition.
The Props will close the week Saturday
night with a game with the Northmin-
ster quint. which team sprung a surprise
a short time past by taking a 81 to Is
victory from the future collegians. Since
then both teams claim to have improved,
and as the first scrap was of warm
nature the second should be of the same
order
In addition to Saturday nights game
there will be a preliminary gym meet at
which the eliminating bouts in a number
of events for the annual affair will be run
off AS these latter events are to be
mostly I'm boxing and wrestling, the Props
should be able to mae classy closing to
their strenuous week of campaigning for
athletic hOnOrS.

Charles P. Taft in the afternoon. Neither
Murphy nor O'Brien registered at the

ped there; Murphy and O'Brien had a
long conference at noon.
When Murphy left Chicago Monday he
told the newspaper men that when he re-
turned to Chicago Wednesday from
little visit he would have something to
say about the base ball election A little
later he was seen with O'Brien. whom
ne has mentioned often as favorite for
the place. and holding conferences with

Asked If he cared to make statement
In regard to the names of the capitalists
connected with the purchase of the Phila-

emphasis:

Mr.. Murphy held long conference with

The contest was the closest and one of
the most interesting that has taken place
this season. The game was played in the
Carroll gymnasium. and during the early
part of the game the y. NJ. G. A. boys
were bothered by the strange court but
soon pulled themselves together and took
the contest.

Future Basket Ball Games May Be
PLAYED in Ryan Gymnasium.

a move is on foot among the students
OF Georgetown University to gain per-
mission from the donors of Ryan gym
nasium 10 hold the basket bail games OF
the varsity in that building instead of in
a downtown han, as has been the Gus
tom in the past In order TO do this it
will be necessary that the consent be
gained from the Ryan family, since their
deed of gift provides that no admission
can be charged to all affair held in the
gymnasium. Whether this consent can be
obtained is at present very problematical.
but 1t is firmly believed that some plan
can be devised whereby the extra ex-
pense incurred in renting hall can be
done away with and at the same time it
will be possible to have the use of the
regular univ ersity floor, which is an ideal
one for the sport.
In case the, decision is favorably reached

STUDENTS LIKE SOCCER.
First Trial of Game at Georgetown
Encouraging to Promoters.

Despite the fact that previous attempts
at interesting the Georgetown students In
soccer were not very encouraging in their
results yesterdays exhibition Of enthusi-
asm was most gratifying, and chances are
exceedingly bright for the sport being
taken up by the Hilltop school. Much
of the success of the first practice was
due to Coach Robert B. Williams, whose
display Of the mode OF playing the game
was greatly responsible for the efficiency
shown by the students. At the start
Coach Williams gave a long lecture in
the gymnasium, after which he started
to teach the practical points on the grid

scheduled with Columbia to take place
December % and one with Yale for two
nights later. AS these two CUNTS are
among the fastest in the east, and as the
results of these games will have great
weight in determining the eastern inter
collegiate championship. they should at
tract much attention among local sports
men and should be very interesting, espe-
cially if it is found possible to hold them at
the Ryan gymnasium, where the facilities
are of such a high order.
