PREPS WILL ELECT CAPTAIN
Georgetown Lads to Prepare for
Foot Ball Next Season.

Announcement was made at the George
town Prep School yesterday that a meet
ing OF the foot ball team would be held
this week for the purpose Of choosing a
captain for next fall. Coming as 1t does
when foot ball IS not recognized as A
sport by the faculty at Georgetown, the
determination of the embryos would in
dictate that chances still continue bright
for the game being reinstated before the
opening of the next season
The most likely candidates for the no
sition are Hawkins and Larkin. although
there are others who have much support
Hawkins played fulback last fall and
Larkin played center. Both are very pop
ular among their fellow students and
excellent players on the gridiron.
The action of the props may act as
an incentive to the varsity, and it would
not be surprising to see similar action
taken by the big eleven before long. Man
ager Fitzgerald is at present doing all
i'm his power to bring the game back into
favor. but those opposing it are in favor
of waiting to see what is done by the
rules committee before taking further
action. 1t is rumored. however. that mat
tiers have been on the edge ever since
the Christmas holidays. and the preva-
lent expectation is that they will be
brought to head in the very near flu
ture.

pIMLICO ASKS FOR DATES.
Wants Sanction for Meeting From
April 20 to May 8.

NEW YORK, January 1S.-A repre-
sentative of the Maryland Jockey Club
came here from Baltimore yesterday and
made a formal application to the Jockey
Club stewards for official sanction for
spring meeting at Pimlico beginning April
20 and ending May s. He said that
Pimlico did not care to open at an earlier
date because the wishes Of Baltimoreans
had to be considered, and the track it
self, which is made of clay, would not be
fit for racing until about the middle of
the month.
Horsemen who are anxious to have
Pimlico begin operations April L.. so that
the local season can open April Is. said
yesterday that as the Baltimore track
without conflict would attract many
more horsemen and out-of-town patrons
than last year. they could see no good
reason for beginning operations April
20. Furthermore, the bookmakers at
Pimlico pay daily fee of 500 EACH
which makes up a revenue that the New
York tracks do not collect. 1t was urged
by these horsemen yesterday that some
sort OF a compromise be made by which
Pimlico would close its spring meeting
about April 81

TO TRY NEW FOOT BALL.
High School Teams to Be Worked
in Safe and Sane Game.

For the sake of doing all in their power
to save the game and put it on some sort
of safe basis four prominent District
foot ball coachers held a meeting last
night and proposed that within the next
two weeks experiments be tried with
volunteers from each of the five Dis
trict high schools working out such new
rules as prominent experts have sug-
gested.
The date likely to be decided upon will
be one week from Saturday and all in
terested in foot ball reform will be in
vited to watch the experiments. If
present plans are carried out, each will
be in charge of its last season coach.
The coachers will agree on set Of new
rules and half an hour or SO will be de-
voted to signal practice and instructions,
then the teams will line up against each
other playing short ten minute halves.
No rough work will be tolerated and the
boys will not be allowed to cut loose.
The men behind this proposed plan are
C. E. Hecox of the Technical High, Tom
kirby. Central High Schools coach
Williah Peet. the Business coach, and Mr..
Green of the National Cathedral School.
Invitations will be extended today to
the men in charge of foot ball affairs at
Western and Eastern, the Army and
Navy props. also Georgetown props.
This scheme is along the lines of the
idea tried out at Atlanta, Ga. last Satur-
day. when college teams went through a
short practice game governed by pro-
posed new rules.
The idea is simply to find out, if pos
sble, how football can be played in the
District and accidents reduced to mini
mum. The gridiron game is due To sec
a number of important changes when the
rules committee gets through with it
next month. and some of these changes
as proposed by Walter Camp will be
tried out by the Washington schooboys
All four coaches are enthusiastic for
the experiments. and the only drawback
will be impossible weather conditions.
