Racing Georgetown Goes After Mddies Next Saturday.

Georgetown turned the trick in 26-24
game. Hence it is that the coming scrap
will be the one to decide supremacy.
If Georgetown wins Saturday She will
once more have clean slate as far as
the Intercollegiate championship goes,
while if she loses it will mean a black
eye for her chances for the big title.
Fully understanding the prize at stake,
and knowing how much good cheering
section has to do with clinching a victory.
the students of the different departments
have organized. and already two special

will probably lead the cheering, and the
Middies may expect a treat. as the Blue

The team has been working hard ever
A. and Coach Joyce is very confident of

If the dOnwntoWnerS prove as capable in
the line of goal tossing as did the previous

guess work. but since it is contrary to the
rules, it is not thought that he will be
allowed to do so by the arrangements.
Immediately after returning from An
napolis it will be up to the players to get
in shape for their final battle with the
local Y. NJ. c. A. which comes off in the
association gym the next Wednesday
