WILL INVADE ANNAPOLIS.
Georgetown CUNTS and Rioters tt
Make Annual Trip Tomorrow.

| With two Blue and Gray quints striv-
ing for honors at Annapolis tomorrow.
the Maryland capital promises to be the
| mecca for a large number Of Georgetown
students and plans have been completed
| for the invasion which augur we'll for
the success of the trip. A special car on
the W., b. and A. will leave the White
| House station at half-past in the morn
| ing. carrying the collegians and their
supporters, while an hour later another
car will transport the varsity and another
| batch of students. Later cars will also
| be utilized by those who are not able to
get away in the morning. 1t is estimated
| that fully a hundred Georgetownians will
make the trip and a merry time is ex-
pected
| The first event on the double program
| comes off at II o'clock in the morning at
the ST. Johns College gymnasium, in
| which the Georgetown cOllegians and the
st. Johns reserves will clash in the
+! struggle for honors. Although not much
has been heard here Of late concerning
the Annapolis lads, 1t Is generally be-
lieved that they have a speedy quint, and
the expectation is that they will give the
Hilltoppers a hard run.
! The local collegians are very much
handicapped just at present by the alb
| lineup. Skip Wymard, the foot ball
| tackle, is confined to the college infirm-
airy with severe illness, and there is no
chance for him to be in shape in time to
perform tomorrow. while Billie Sitterding
has been unable to practice for some time
and he will not start the game. Both of
| these were guards and great dependence
was being placed on their ability to pre-
vent opponents shooting baskets. OCon-
ner and Walsh, the latter the ex-Roxbury
High star, have been substituted, while
the rest Of the team will be bikes at
center and Capt. Kingsley and Cogan at
| the forwards.
| During the past week the collegians
| and have also shown excellent form In
| practice. Prof Joyce Is coaching the
| lads and he feels very confident that they
will be able to bring home the laurels of
| victory. He not only bases this opinion
on their showing in practice but also on
the easy way in which they disposed of

/ the holidays.
Academy drill hall. the Georgetown var
/ sity and the Middies will line up in the
! first battle of their annual series and
judging from all previous dope that can
| be obtained on the two aggregations the
| scrap will be we'll worth witnessing Last
year these two quints fought on three diff
| ferent occasions, the Hilltoppers finally
| landing the supremacy. although the
| scores In each contest were so close that
| there was only a slight difference in the
| totals of the three games
| This season the Navy seems to have a
| much better team than ever before, while
I Georgetown looks to be weaker than last
winter. However, not much stock can be
| put in this comparison, as the Blue and
| Gray aggregation has yet to show It's best
| form and the students of the school are
confident that tomorrow's battle will
| bring this out. Whether this is so OR not
! is yet to be seen. but whichever way the
| victory goes it Is safe bet that the en-
counter will be hard-fought and interest
| ing from start to finish. wholly on a par
with the plans which the intense rivalry
| between the contenders would place them
| on.
The Blue and Gray FIVE has been rein
| forced during the past week by the reap
| pearance of Schlosser. who was sick
| around the LIST of the month. and by the
reporting OF Martin. the ex-captain of the
Niagara University team OF New York
state. The men have been working hard
| in preparation for what will probably be
the crucial battle in the race for the
South Atlantic collegiate championship
and according to their header they are in
! tip-top condition.
