MILE-AND-A-EALF RUN.
Georgetown Squad Taking Siren
uous Methods to Get Into Shape.

With the Virginia game only little
over 4 week off and with most OF The
men in mediocre condition. Coach Bill
Newman has decided on some very siren
uous methods for getting his charges
into frst-class shape 10 stand the long
battle with the southerners. Yesterday
most of the time was given to sig
nal work and dummy tackling. but the
hardest work was done OIL the running
track.
After keeping the men on the hop for
two hours Newman ordered them to
take six laps around the field, each dap
being a quarter of a mile long. This
will be kept UP until the middle of next
week, by which time the lads should
have plenty of good wind. Other means
will also he taken for endurance. As il
IS now the belief that the players on the
heights are weaker in this department
than in any other. Although they all
stuck like well conditioned warriors at
Fordham. yet they were by no means
able to do themselves justice toward the
end of the game. AS the Virginia con-
test will probably Re still longer. no
chances are going to be taken on any of
the men becoming exhausted.
The lineup remained unchanged yes
terday Both McQuail and Smyth were
trial al that position today. In the alb
sence of Barricello. JamsOn was used at
left end, while DAILY played one half in
place of Darlington. who is still OH the
hospital list. 1t is thought that the last
mentioned will get back in suit to-
day or Monday at the latest.
The Freshmen, who have a game with
the Navy pebes in the near future, will
work with the Varsity next week. In
this way there will always be plenty of
chance for holding scrmmages and hence
the locals can be drilled to play against
an eleven lined up like the VirgiI..ans.

De ORC DEFENDS
BILLIARD TITLE

NEW YORK. November 6.-For few
minutes last night il looked as if the
championship three-cushion carom oil
lizard match between Alfred DE ORC. Ine
title holder, and John DAILY of Chicago
the challenger, would cause smali-szed
riot IN McGraws billiard academy, where
the match was played. After De ORC had
played his last carom. which gave him
a total of 1.O points for the three nights
play, against IL? by bis opponent, Daily
came forward with d protest based on
decision which occurred during the first
nights play, and loudly declared that
those who had made wagers on the game
should not pay their bets, as the last TWO
nights play had been run off under pro-
test. Tom Gallagher, the referee. when
told by DAILY that he could not award the
match TO DE ORC i'm view of the protest
promptly declared that De orc had sue
cessfully defended his title and won the
match. De ORC and Daily then engaged in
a wordy discussion, which was cut short
by the management ordering the room
cleared.
For the most part the spectators IA
VOred the decision. which did not allow
the protest against De ORC. ana those
who had bet on the result of the match
gladly paid over their wagers. many pro-
claiming that DAILY was not in the same
class with his opponent.
TIE SQua bible arose over the decision by
Referee Gallagher in the .-rst night
PLAY, regarding q stroke made by Daily
with his opponents bail. The foul was
not detected b. DE ORC and 10 discussion
arose until De Orc, shooting with the
same ball he had al through the game,
was declared to have committed foul by
Daily. Gallagher read the rule regarding
the point. and said that to call foul on
DE ORC would be penalizing him for the
error committed by DAILY. The matter,
however, was rot settled in Days mind.
and he opened the discussion on the sue
ceeding nights play, and then followed
the trouble of last night.
De ORC again won the string of fifty
points last night. making a total OF fifty
TO his opponents forty-four, which was
the best showing that DAILY has made on
any of the three nights. For time last
night il appeared as If Daily might be
able 20 be "a close contender even though
he did rot beat out his opponent but DE
ORC showed form nearing the finish, and
pulled into the lead, a run of six, the nigh
run of the match, helping him considera-
