The teams VIM line up as follows:
LARGE SQUAD IS OUT.
Georgetown Is Working Hard for
Yirgtnin Game.


The first scrimmage which the George
town University football squad has en-
gagged in since their game against Ford
ham last Tuesday, was held yesterday
afternoon. 1t was not the hardest prac-
tice the men have had, yet, on the whole,
the team showed up well and gained
ground consistently against the scrubs.
The brightest feature was the large
number OF men out on the field, and es-
pecally the return Of several Of the stars
who have been laid up with injuries re-
Ceived during the course Of the last two
weeks. CunniG, McNulty. and Carrigan
were all out and were able 10 so through
half hours signal drill. Tho last
two players were kept out Of the scrim-
mage, as Newman does not want 20 take
any. chances with his two half backs.
Mike Cunnin. who. UP till the last two
weeks. had been playing center, but who
was forced 10 quit because Of a case Of
blood poisoning. was placed at full on
the scrubs, and showed UP well against
the varsity.
Bill Sitterding IS now running the team
since the disqualification Of Byrd, and viii
play this position in tho Virginia game.
Capt. Stuart has been sent out 10 the
end which Bill has been holding down
IN great style during the last two games.
Byrd was out practicing with the second
team yesterday. and although he takes
his medicine like a true sportsman, he
nevertheless IS quito disappointed that
he VIII not be able TO play against Vir-
ginia.

Position I'm High School Series.
The Lineup Is Changed.

The game which viii practically decide
the holder Of last place in the High
School series will be played this after
noon. rain or shine. between Eastern and
Business. at the American League Park.
There are promises Of an interesting
contest, as the two elevens are evenly
matched now that the Stenographers are
weakened by the loss Of some OF the best
players. and the game is sure 10 be hard
fought.
Business will go on the field minus at
least five of its best men. and it is largely
due 70 this that il has not made a more
creditable showing in the previous games
and it will entirely excuse them in case
OF defeat to-day. The squad was given
a long practice by the coach yesterday,
and the players were carefully admon-
ished to make good against the Capitol
Hill team. 1t would be a large come
down for Business 10 be beaten by the
Eastern aggregation. and every means
known TO the coach and men will be
taken to prevent possibility Of such an
event.
on the other hand. Eastern has also
taken great pains 70 insure a. victory to-
day, and has even gone 20 the extent Of
changing the lineup Of tho team. hoping
thereby TO put I'm a backdeld which Will
be fully as heavy and as fast as any Of
the men on the line. The new backs
who lined up for their practice yester-
day. We're Parker. Harrison, and Defan-
dorf The two latter have heretofore
played line positions, on account OF their
weight, as compared TO others on the
team, but IL IS the opinion Of the coach
and the captain Of the eleven that they
are needed I'm the backfeld. Parker has
played at quarter. but Babcock viii now
handle the signals. and the former will go
in az left half back.
The game will come of IN any condition
of weather. and the followers Of the two
elevens promise that the battle Will be
close and interesting. Neither team is
sure of victory. but IS confident in a
quiet way OF clnching the long end OF the
score

WEIGH BEATS SUMMERS.
Clever Light-weiEkt Wins the Cham
pionship Of England.

London, Nov. S.-Welsh defeated Sum
mers at the National Athletic Club to-
night. winning the lightweight cham
pionship Of England and the diamond
studded gold belt given by Lord Ions
dale. Summers was not in such good
form as when he beat Britt. but he made
good fight, staying the twenty rounds
Nobody dissented when the referee gave
the night 10 Welsh on points.
The victor was undoubtedly cleverer
than Summers, and improved as the fight
progressed. Welsh challenged eny light
weight IN the world, offering 70 bet q. 900

tie with Nelson.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC NOTES

Besides being one Of the strongest
guards in the high schools Tew. OF Tech
nical. IS q punter Of great ability for
scholastic player. He has done almost
all OF the booting for the Machinists. and
is by far the better OF any OF his oppo-
nents. In the Western game Farmer
really won the contest fo- the Technical
eleven. but Tews punting saved many a
yard from being taken by the boys from
across the creek
II Coach Kirby's star half back, Hamn
ton. OF Central. does not hit the line any
better than he tried TO hit a few bulls
eyes out at the rifle range SATURDAY. Tom
had better release him. But possibly tho
coach has better plans in store for the
speedy captain of his squad and IS con-
tent 10 use the Splinter in the end runs.
Although this afternoons game between
Business and Eastern will practically de-
eide the holder Of the last position in the
series. that does not mean that the exhi-
bitiOn viii be a poor one The teams are
well coached, and the only reason why
both are not further up on the list is be-
cause OF the disadvantages under which
they have been working. The unparalleled
trouble which has been hammerinE at
the Business eleven is an old story. and
the usual light weight OF the Capitol Hill
team will even matters enough TO insure
"a tight game.
Eastern IS evidently strengthening its
tackles for the game with Business this
afternoon. and it is evident that it ex-
poets things 90 be pushing hard at those
stations. Capt. Dom Will 90 into right
tackle, and SorreU VIII hold the job on
the other side Of the line. These are
good changes for the eleven, as. besides
showing a weak line in the Western East
ern game the Capitol Hi backaeld was
deplorably slow and lacked aggressive
ness. Business viii make no changes that
amount to anything in its lineup, as Il
evidently trusts TO make a better show
ing than that sgainst Western. Con-
slant shifting has played havoc with the
Stenographers. and II is a great deal bet
ter for the team now that the line-up
is established.
Simpson. the end who was responsible
for the only touchdown Business made
against Western, viii go into the first
lineup this afternoon as an end. and IL
the little fellow can capture another such
chance as he had last time Il will be all
that IS required Of one man. He was
right on the job all the time he played
against Western. and although he is
against a good man this afternoon. he
viii be closely watched. and his slippery
work Will have 10 be reckoned with.
