Hest terms. 40
As a substitute for Washington's
gridiron classic. the University of vir-

dams In Washington on November S.
Glen Warner. the Carlisle coach,
when interviewed Saturday night at
the Riggs House, admitted that the
Indian Virginia contest had been
practically settled, also that the Red
skins would not play George Wash
ington.
Virginia has wanted to get a crack
at Carlisle for the past three years.
and Glen Warner has at last consent
ed to scheduling the game.
AS Washington would draw big
ger crowd than Richmond or some
other Southern city, the Virginia
management decided TO bring the
game here. Offering Carlisle a guar

where win Game BE Played?
/ There IL likely to be a lot of hard

considerable trouble by the Virginia
management In obtaining grounds for

National Park tied up, and George
town can hardly be expected to con-
tribute the field on the hilltop, wheth-
err or not the Bfue and Gray decides
to abandon the game.
1t was also learned Saturday night
that the manager OF the Johns Hop
kins football team. of Baltimore. was

was In town with his Indian runners
for the Federal games. Hopkins had

that there was nothing doing. on ac-
count of the present arrangement
with Virginia, large sized protest
was raised.

Virginia's action can he attributed
to perhaps two motives: Fearing tina
Georgetown would decide not to re

sire to meet the redskins.
Manager Halter, Of the Hatehetites
stated that George Washington wouic
not give up November to virgins
