The Washington herald., 1910-01-23

Manager Harry Brown, of the George
town University baseball team. has an
iiounced his schedule for the 1910 season,
which includes thirty-four games to date,
with prospects Of one or two more at
later date
The present manager has surpassed 10y
three games the number OF contests set
by his predecessor. Tommy Stuart
In point Of quality. the schedule sets a
standard, with such universities on the
list as Princeton, Harvard. Cornell,
Pennsylvania, Columbia, Navy. Vir-
GINA, and host of others OF the big
five which regularly plays Georgetown,
only one attractive game at present is
missing from the list
Yale will not take a Southern trip this
year. and consequently a game could not
be arranged with the Hnltoppers.
The season opens unusually early this
year. and Georgetown will have as her
opponent in the initial contest, on March
70, the Maryland Agricultural College.
on the following Monday Georgetown
will meet Mount St Joseph's, and
Wednesday, March ., will see the first
real contest, when the Hnltoppers go up
against Fordham. These two universe
ties are always worthy contestants for
first honors among the Catholic colleges
of the East. and the Blue and Gray men
would rather capture the series against
Fordham than that with any other uni
yersity. The next day Georgetown will
have her last chance 10 get in trim for
Princeton, when she goes Up against
Ursinus. This college is a new one on
the schedule. but If she puts out a nine
comparable 20 her football eleven. the
HiIltoppers will have their hands full.
Just one week from the opening of the
season Georgetown will start her banner
week when she meets Princeton. The
Tigers are favorites in Washington. and
as a drawing card are unsurpassed. The
following Monday, March .. the New
Jersey boys will again be seen in action.
For the past two years each team has
secured a game from the series, and it has
never just been settled which was the
better team.
Holy Cross follows the next day, and
the worcester nine have always proved
a hard nut 10 crack. the locals winning
two sensational games from them last
year. On the seth and 3lst Cornell will
be played. Austin Howard, another local
boy, Is with the red and white team. and
his work last year was a feature of the
series. Pennsylvania comes on April /
and .. and the. locals hope to get revenge
for losing the series last season. when
the Pennsy bunch won the deciding game
on their home grounds.
Trinity and Lafayette appear next in
order. the first of which has never PLAYED
Georgetown except on the home grounds,
while Lafayette has not met a George
town team for several years.
The annual game with Holy Cross. at
Worcester. has been abandoned. since the
Purple and White nine play Georgetown
here earlier in the season. and a game
with the University of Vermont substi-
tuted.
on their return homeward Fordham
will be met In the final game of the
season in New York City
one date is pending with washington
College. but it has almost been decided
unon that The ChestertOWn nine shall b,
played here on May %. Friday. Nav -.
is an open date, and Manager Brown
would like 10 arrange a game. to he
played away from home. Since George
town meets Vermont on the following
day. il could only be possible for her to
play some Northern university. and ii is
probable that Yale may be induced TO
ill this date
Altogether. seven games viii be played
away from home and twenty-seven on
the local grounds
