Blue and Gray Shows Speed in Long
Signal Drill.

With the lineup for Saturdays battle
pretty we'll settled on, the Georgetown
foot ball team is now devoting most Of
its time to perfecting formations and ac-
curing speed. Yesterday was spent in
long signal drill. in which the men
acquitted themselves well. hardly any Of
the new plays being mussed up. Toward
the end of the practice the second team
was lined up against the regulars. and a
The work closed with run around the
college walks which are fully a mile
long.
The practice was watched by large
crowd OF students. many Of whom were
from the downtown school. This crowd
will probably be in attendance today
with many more added. The students
throughout the university are taking
more interest I'm the battle than ever be-
fore. and there Is no doubt but that the
cheering section on Saturday Will be the
largest in the history of the school AL
ready band has been secured and plans
have been completed for the parade to
the field from the law department.
The appointment Of Edwin Miller, cap
tain Of last seasons eleven; Fred Gibbs.
ex-leader of the track team, and Earl
Mohn. the president of the senior class
of the law school, as cheer leaders has
been hailed with reclamation by the
whole student body. In addition to these,
all of the alumni present in the city will
be present In the crowd to help the un-
dergraduates in the work cut out for
them.
Aston CockreIl. president of the yard
In 1866. IL here working hard to in
crease the enthus:as At a speech at
the law school on Tuesday night he told
of some happenings OF the cd days. and
especially rehearsed the details of the
famous I7-1d game. which was the first
Virginia contest he ever witnessed. He
will be the principal speaker at a mass
meeting OF the collegians thiss evening,
when a number OF new yells and songs
will be tried. Allen Glennon., who Is in
town. has also been invited to make q
few remarks.
1t is probable that a short scrimma sc
will take place this evening between the
first and second teams. The encounter.
however, will not be hard, as Coach New
man intends TO take no chances on fnjur
ing any Of the men. All Of the assistant
coaches Will be on hand to help along
In the work. which will practically COM
plete the training for the game.
Manager Murray again wired to Phila-
delphfa yesterday relative to the appoint
ment of officials. On account of the many
big games scheduled for Saturday in the
north the Georgetown-Virginia manage
ment Is finding II difficult to secure high
ly recommended men at this late date.
IL is believed. however. that the trouble
will be settled today by an appointment
from the intercollegiate board.
