Sheppard's Squirt Irresistible.


Sheppard made no effort to catch the
flying Italian at this point. He waited
until the turn out Of the backstretch the
last time. There he began his famous
squirt 1t carried him to Lunghis shoulder
in few strides and entering the stretch
he was a trifle in front.
Once in that position Sheppard never
was known to quit, and yesterday ne

Aware that his opponents were not press

the last fifty yards, and as he breasted

FOOT BALL REVIEW ON
SATURDAYS GAMES
Georgetown and George
Washington Grow Stronger
With Each Battle.

Georgetown showed Improvement in her
game against North Carolina on Satur-
day. although she lost to the Tar Heels
by a single touchdown. The play was
generally even throughout. neither side
being particularly effective in any branch.
The Blue and Gray team is still having
trouble with it's backfield not from lack
of fairly good material, but from an APP
parent inability of the backs to get to-
Rether for effective work. In the line
Georgetown is improving every day. wy
mard DAILY and Fitzgerald are all doing
excellent work. particularly the former.
who is aggressiveness personifled. Also
Wymard is proving himself valuable
kicker.
Against North Carolina WymardS punts
were all sent off well and, while they
were not remarkable for their length.
they went high in the air and the George
town end had plenty of time to get down
,he field on them.
Coach Newman from this time forward
will probably devote a great deal of his
time to the backfeld. now that he has
his line on the way to effective develop
ment. McNulty is not in good physical
shape, owing to injuries. but when he
rounds to he will have to be the MAIN
stay of the attack. unless Byrd shows
better form with his end runs. Carlin is
a good little man and should prove val
liable for short gains if the line develops
a better ability to make quick openings
for him. Waldron is an all round good
back.
Have Good Backs.
In Morse Crafts. Ellis and Farmer
George Washington has top-notch
backfeld, the only trouble being dis
position to indulge in spectacular indiv
idual work. On Saturday both Crafts
and Ellie showed great ability in broken
field running. with Ellis having a shade
the better of it in that he stuck to his
interference more closely, and was also
exceedingly hard to knock off his feet
The line is full of good material, but
shy on team work. and needs well de-
veloped system OF defense.
The line men were responsible in the
game against Maryland Agricultural Col
lege for great many penalties. In
their eagerness to charge the opposing
forwards they, frequently stood across
the neutral line before the signal was
given. Before the ball could be put i'm
play they were usually on top of the
NJ. A. C.. line. Such antics are usually
due to nervousness, and the George
Washington coaches probably will over
come this fault before the big games ar
rive.

Ribbon Adds Needed Weight.

Others are finished with several rows of vel
vet ribbon which give them little weight,
for most OF these skirts are as light as feath-
ers. When a heavier silk is employed the
petticoats are invariably gored and with
no plaits or gathers at the waist Shaped
flounces and fiat plaitings are the only trim
mings used.
A little more latitude is seen in lingerie
skirts, although these. too show the infiu-
ence of the fashion. They are not in the least
befrilled, but instead they are beautifully en-
broidered and are frequently trimmed with
real lace The material is one of the things
most effective. They are usually in two .or
three tones of the same color and in conven-
tional designs, and at the extreme edge of the
skirt is a narrow plating of darkest shade.

coats and skirts that are not wanted to have
