cessive plunges, carried it over Tor the

AURORA ATHLETICS
BEAT EPfSCOPALIANS

The Aurora Athletic Club defeated the
Episcopal High Reserves Of Virginia In
a very hotly contested game of foot ball
yesterday on the school field by the score
of II to 5. The game throughout was
very well played, the High School having
the advantage in weight, but what the
Auroras lacked in weight they made UP
in speed. The game started by the -Au-
roras kicking off to the High School, and
after a series of plays the ball came into
the hands of the club boys which after
a series of line bucks and end runs re-
suited in the AurOras pushing the ball
over the High School goal for the first
touchdown of the game. The strong wind
prevented Rawlings from kicking goal.
In the first part of the second half the
High School boys made touchdown
after blocking a punt. The schoolboys
then kicked off to the Auroras, who got
down to business, and while the ball was
on the Auroras 10-yard line Rawlings,
the old Business High School star of last
year. got away around end and made the
length Of the field for a touchdown. The
rest Of the game the ball was in the
middle of the field, and the game ended
with the ball in the Auroras' hands. The
Auroras' backs did very good line hitting
and end running, and the Episcopal backs
also did some very good work, but did
not come UP to their opponents. The
playing Of the backs on the Auroras-
Steward, Walker and Rawlings-was very
fine, and with the run Rawlings made
was the feature of the game. While the
backs did good work, the other players OF
the AuroraS were also on the job. Tile
lineup is as follows:

Amateur Hockey.

NEW YORK. October 23.-It has de-
-yeloped that the decided movement
among some of the teams composing the
Amateur Hockey League of this city to
garner new players is more fact than
fiction. 1t has been recognized fact
that for the past few seasons various
clubs in the local organization realized
that they would have to do something
ere long to strengthen their sevens il
the game was to be kept on the high
plane that its ardent supporters would
have it. A rumor at the close of last
season had 1t that several local clubs
were trying to persuade some excellent
amateur players in the Dominion to come
down here to play.

FOOT BALL BOOMS AT
COLORED SCHOOLS

The foot ball teams Of the NJ Street
High School and Armstrong Technical
and Business High Schools appear to be
the best organizations of their kind that
have ever represented these institutions.
Both schools are favored with a large
squad of players. plenty of ginger and
snap and splendid school pride and spirit.
Good coaches are in charge of each team.
Mr.. Robinson, formerly coach at Howard
University, is now drilling Armstrong;
squad. 1t was his good fortune to turn
out team at Howard University that
easily was the peer of any colored foot
ball team in the south. This year he has
freely given his services to Armstrong
Smith, at NJ Street, turned out the cham
pion scholastic team of the middle At
lantic states. Mr.. Smith as a coach Is
noted for his ability to instill manly
qualities into his charges. Armstrong re-
tains nearly all Of her veterans. Kenny.
cambridge, Beckwith, Diggs. Walker,
Trice and Jenkins are among the "A"
men who are playing in form. Tech"
will be one of the heaviest scholastic
teams in the field. but NJ Street, with
Shippley and Brown as mainstays. will
have a team that Is sure to be the same
fast-moving aggregation of past years.
Games with Baltimore High School.
Fredericksburg, Storer and Dover col
leges are scheduled. Much talk is rife
over the proposed formation of a scho-
lastic league. the teams to consist of
Howard Preparatory. M Street, Arm
strong and Baltimore high schools. Such
a league has been the hope Of many.
The only barrier to its formation will be
the consideration of eligibility rules.
To be of truly scholastic class no player
should have attained twenty-ene years of
age. This is universal secondary school
rule and Washington high school rule,
and If agreed to by Howard Preparatory
such league series may be pulled off.
No team can lay claim to the scholastic
championship If it's members exceed the
age limit. School spirit is high in the local
colored high schools and much interest is
manifested in the oncoming contests.

Students Support Rowing.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 23.-Despite
the fact that the faculty has announced
that rowing will not be continued at Stan
ford University as an intercollegiate sport.
students Of the institution announce that
they will themselves support crew.
Their plan is to form a club, the members
to be the contributors to the fund that
will finance a crew. The athletic associa-
ton would not support crew. as it is en-
deavoring to pay for new athletic field.
If the students are successful in their
plans, It is said the faculty will raise no
objection to having the college represent
