WASHINGTON. November ll,'-Wlth less
than twcnty-four hours to elapse pc
fort the start Of the South's biggest
football battle on Georgetown Field to.
morrow afternoon. adherents OF both
Georgetown and Virginia are all agoS
with excitement. Reports from both
schools show that the victory is claim
ed by each and that by more than .
narrow margin. The physical condition
of those who are to.take part is also
said to be excellent, so that With a
good afternoon, as far as weather is
concerned. the encounter should be
memorable one.
Never before in the history of
Southern football has there been so
much interest taken in the game. Early
In the week the advance sale OF seats
was Of such proportion that it was seen
that the bleachers on Georgetown Field
would not begin to hold the crowd. and
Manager Joliat Immediately arranged
for the erection of more stands. me
construction of these has been pushed
with all haste, and hence there is now
little doubt but that the many thous-
ands who Will journey to the heights
will be well cared for.
| With all Of these preparations salts
| factorily made and with the students
Of each school organized for cheer
ing. the most of the attention is now
| being turned toward the two teams
J which will take part. Early in the
week stories emanating from the local
| and the Charlottesville camps were Of
(. q most pessimistic variety, and as
result the betting was slow. This
morning. though, an entirely different
i line of dope was handed out, and now
4 bets are being laid at even money,
with plenty in sight to wager on either
! side.
4 Team Seems Fit
Georgetown's team in its practice
yesterday showed all kinds of speed
and endurance The whole signal drill
lasting far into the twilight. was done
behind closed gates with very few
spectators. After the signal work was
completed Coach Nielsen gave the men
long talk before he sent them to
the locker-room pretty we'll tired out
To-day only the Highest kind Of work
was INDUCED in. and from the com
pletion Of this until the start of the
game. all of the players will be very
carefully watched by those in charge
1t has been definitely dccldedSto pla.
the regular Georgetown line-up In al
but two positions. Barriscello anc
Hegart will hold down tho ends. Bryant
and Wymard. the tackles, Daley ano
Cunniff the guards, and Cunniff vii
be seen at centre Without vestist
OF doubt tins is the strongest limo
that has ever been seen at the Blue
and Gray school, and on 1t the H1ll-tor
rooters are depending most. There vii
probably be little trouble In stopping
any attempts on the part Of Virginia
at line plunsing, while the caltbre o.
the end defenses will make 1t extreme
|ly difficult for either Honaker or Todt
to get away.
In the backfield. Georgetown will ust
Kelly at fullback. and Fury at rish
half. Who will play quarter and thu
other half is still under consideration
Walsh seemed to be in good shape yes
terday and will surely start the gam
at either left half or quarter, In cas-
Dunn plays, which is not altogethe
unlikely. Walsh will be at the helm
| Otherwise Costello may run the team
!, and Walsh be used in place of Dunn
Sitterding will be used at quarter par
OF the game, in which case Costel
may even be sent in at the nalf, Carl
gan and Kraft are also in line for tn
! left half place, and will play that po
sition during some portion Of the con
test.
;; Virginia also seems to be somewha
, in doubt as to the lineup that will b
