GEORGETOWN is OFF
TO MEET VIRGINIA
Hilltoppers in Crippled Con-
dition for Crucial Game
Today.

Georgetown viii present a patehed-up
lineup in its game with the University
of Virginia at Charlottesville this af-
ternoon as neither Captain Cantweu or
Catcher Duffy accompanied the Blue
and Gray squad when it left this morn
ing.
While the absence Of this pair will be
greatly felt adherents of the local col
legians are pinning their faith TO the
ability OF Harry Devine and Dutch
EckenrOde to turn the trick in the bat
terry stations. Devine is just beginning
to round to, and il is more than prob
able ne will repeat the dose which
Georgetown handed Virginia in the
game at Charlottesville last season.
Virginia has been going at a magni-
ficent stride this year, and for the first
time in several seasons the Orange and
Blue holds high hopes of defeating
the local aggregation. A perfection in
fielding has characterized the majority
of the games Charlottesville has par
ticipated in this year. and the general
belief in the Virginia town Is that tho
home team will secure one or two runs,
and hand the Washington coiegians
the short end.
On Monday the same teams play IN
this city. Cantwell and Duffy will be-
the battery for the hilltoppers on that
occasion.

it will take considerable time to round

For men who are training for dis

comparatively easy. Beginning at two

Age of Advertising" | believe adj
vertising has had ten times as much
to do with the real progress of the
human race as all the structural steel

You who think of advertising as
simply an effort to sell goods, just
consider where We would be with

vertisers.
Through advertising, several bill
lions of good books have been dis
tributed in the homes of the people.
The railroads, steamship lines and va
cation resorts, by good advertising,
have taught us something about pref
ty much every place, and we have
learned to travel. Our grandfathers
never went anywhere; we go every
where.
Half of what most of us know
about hygiene, sanitation and phys
ical culture, we have learned either
from the advertising pages or the
things advertised. Great numbers of
our best schools owe their growth to
steady advertising.
Magazines themselves, invaluable,
forces for good in our modern life,
extend their circles of readers by adj
vertising each other.
But here is the point: almost every
