GEORGETOWN SCORE
!. GRAcESCOLLEGE WALL
Hilltop Students Paint the
Tally of Saturdays Vic
tory ConspicuousIy.

When the students of Georgetown
College awoke from their sltlmbers this
morning and glanced across the foot
ball field they were surprised to see
painted on the north wall of the
campus the score Of the Georgetown
Virginia game of last Saturday. In big
black letters the tails Of the victory now
stands where 1t can be easily seen by
every one visiting the school, telling
mutely the story of a conquest long
sought for Some Of the older students
still remember the faint letters that
used to mark the 17-16 game before
time erased Them. and it. is a notable
coincident that the present letters are
placed on almost the same section of
the wall.
Practice will be resumed by the var
sity squad today in preparation for Sat
urday's game with Virginia Military
Academy. Although it is generally be-
trouble disposing of Billy Cloth
cadets, no chances are to be taken, and
as good lineup as possible VIII be
sent into the game In this way the
gether again before the big battle with
Lehigh Thanksgiving day.
Now that the Virginia game Is out OF
the way the students of the school are
Oe&1nn1n& TO get very HUGH eACltcQ OSSI
the prospects of Lehigh victory. George
town and Lehigh, previous to 1904. were
accustomed to meet annually on the local
field on turkey day. and the encounter
was always one Of the biggest OF the sea-
SON. A split In relations kept the two
schools apart for the last five years. but
now that this breach has been healed
the supporters of both institutions are
making preparations for an event of some
Importance.

it will mean a very big boost for the
school, and the completion of q hard
schedule with great honor. The Pitts
burg defeat has not been taken very
seriously since the Smoky city team has
been trimming every eleven it has run
I'M against SO far. besides breaking the
intercollegiate scoring record. The tie
battle with A. and M. under ordinary
circumstances might have some signifi-
canoe, but when 1t is considered that the
game was played early in the year on a
wet field not much stress can be laid on
its importance.
AS GEORGETOWN has easily played the
heaviest schedule in the south and has
trimmed North Carolina, Virginia, Wash
ington and J.ee and Washington College
tie, her claims for the southern champion
ship seem to he very substantial. As yet
no southern team has crossed the Blue
and Gray goal line, while very few first
uOWuS have Oeen Inaoe Dy Tue same
aggregations. With these elements taken
into full consideration the Hilltoppers at
present look like the logical claimants for
the big honOrs of Dixie and with vic
tory over V. NJ. I. on Saturday the title
will'be made. pretty secure.
Manager Walsh of next years eleven
has already begun planning his. schedule
for 1911, and from his present ideas it can
be easily surInised that the West End
school will attempt an even harder list
Of games than was undertaken this sea-
son. The south will again be well repre-
scented by the best teams of the section,
while at least three Of the big eastern
schools will be taken on. In this way
the Blue and Gray. with another success
full year, will again attain the high posi-
tion in athletics which has been sought
after ever since the upheaval Of 1905.
