Three Cushion Billiard Champion

the playing Of 80 points. and with the

opponent by %. the score being: De Orc,
100. and DAILY, IS.
There was a fair attendance when the
players made their appearance. and for a
time II seemed that they would be treated
to nothing more than q debate. DAILY re-
opened the question which had caused a
wrangle the previous evening, and, fur
thermore, objected to the referee. Tom
Gallagher. For about ten minutes the two
players argued the pros and cons, and
then settled down to play when It became
evident that spectators were getting I'm

De Orc was the master of the match at
all times. II there was any consistency
of play 1t was by the Cuban, but 1t SEEM

plainly worked up over the discussion.
and his stroke was trifle faulty, SO that
his points did not begin to mount UP until
a number OF innings had been played.
From the twenty fourth to the thirty
sixth inning his form was improved and
fourteen points were gathered. After
that De Oro's play again fell on. and at
the finish there was practically little in
terest among the spectators.
Daily, while he played in hard luck a
number OF times, did not have the
smoothness Of form that characterized
the work Of his opponent. and during the
entire match he was continually on edge
to bring out some foul by his opponent.
While he protested several times the point
was always decided against Daily. The

GEORGETOWN REVIEWS WORK.
Two Teams Report for Practice De-
spite the Hard Battle at Fordham.

There We're two teams of husky ana
cheerfuI eridiron warriors hard at work
ve.terday afternoon on Georgetown Field
ana every man was doing his hardest in
spite of the fact that most Of those
who participated against Fordham were
pretty we'll bruised up. OF the twelve
who played in New York only two. Byrd
and Carrigan. were in such shape that
they found II useless to don the mole
skins. Some Of the others were still stin
and sore, but nevertheless they were
anxious to get down 70 hard training in
preparation for the big event OF the
year.
Coach Newman put them through .
long signal drill, but attempted little else.
He was assisted in this by Condo Pallen.
who played a great game at half last
year. The work was done behind closed
gates and. as will be the case from now
cret. The newly organized vigilance COM
mittee. twelve In number. patroiled the
grounds and kept of any one who couldn't
give a good reason for being there.
McQuail was tried at fulback, las was
also Smy.h. Both did we'll as far as fol-
lowing interference was concerned, and
their performances make IL certain that
they will be tried out In the f1rst scrinf-
mage. which will probably be tomorrow
Cunniff will also be played for Few
days at full to see IL he has any talent
I'm this position. These three. with Mac
Farlane and Vlymen the latter OF whom
took part in the Fordham battle, should
form a good string for this position.
McNuity will surely start the game
against Virginia. while Carrigan will play
opposite him. The work OF Carter against
the New Workers places him In a posi-
ton TO be called upon also for a back
field job. while Daily. the ex-Catholic Uni
yersity player, Murray, Carlin and Joliat
swell the number of backfield men to such
a size that there is little possibility OF
shortage Of material in this depart
ment.
The rest OF the eleven will probably re-
main unchanged. since Coach Newman
seems very much pleased with their work.
II is conceded that extra work will be
spent develop ng the backfield from now
on as little improvement In this re-
spect will add greatly TO the strength OF
the team. The presence OF Fallen and
Kirby will be a great assistance In this.
as both of them know the principal tricks
of the backfield.
Besides the tricks which Coach New
man sprung on Fordham he has also q
large variety Of others which he will
teach the men for use against Virginia.
The surprise which Georgetown gave to
the New Workers has proven conclusively
that Newman's style Of play Is better In
the long run than most OF the innovations
OF etrategists. and much confidence IL now
being expressed at Georgetown In the
coach's tactics.

army of graduate coaches on the heights
