Freely admitting that they expect q
harder game than any Blue and Gray
team has had to enter for a number OF
years, and ready for a tough scrap for
victory the Georgetown foot ball team Is
today putting in its last lines before leav
ing for Pittsburg early tomorrow after
noon. After a disagreeable scrimmage
on a wet field and in a drizzling rain
against Eastern College yesterday aft
ernoon, the men the heights are to
have another hard practice battle against
the scrubs this evening. after which they
will pack away their togs and prepare
themselves for the trip to the Smoky
City.
The Georgetown party, consisting OF
nineteen players, coach, manager assist
ant manager and a number OF students,
will leave over the Baltimore and Ohio in

there at Schenley, and. according to pres
ent plans, will not return to Washington

the University of Pittsburg will take place
at Forbes Field Saturday afternoon al
$50 o'clock
The reason that the team lis TO remain
order that the men may accept a number
of invitations from the Pittsburg alumni
of the school. Not for a great many
years has a Georgetown team left Wash
ington with prospects OF such a brilliant
reception awaiting them from the ''old
boys at the other end. The entire squad
will be met al the station by automobiles
which will bring them to the hotel, while
Saturday morning an automobile trip
around the city will be the order That
evening they will be entertained at box
party at one of the theaters. and Sunday
reception will take place at the home
OF prominent member of the George
town Club of Pittsburg
With such vast treat being given
them and with the knowledge that the
possession of the big end of the score
over the Pittsburg eleven will mean
everything in the way of glory through
out the east, there is not man on the
local team who does not feel confident
that a victory will attend the efforts OF
the eleven. Every one of the players eX-
poets a battle that will tax his ability
and gameness to the utmost, but all are
agreed that Georgetown is to be the ag-
crossing side. With the exception OF
Feenan and Bryant, the other men who
were kept from practice by the epidemic
of stomach trouble. were out again yes
terday, and il is believed that the two
mentioned above will be in fit enough
shape TO take part in the regular work
today.
nose WHO Will compose the 1cOrReIONn
squad on the trip are Cunnif and Feenan.

backs; Dunn. Fury, Lamberton and Car
rigan. halfbacks, and Walsh and Vlymen,
fullbacks.
While the absence of the team will mean
that no event of great Importance will
take place on the heights for the week
end. the interim in the foot ball program
will at least give the devotees of the
racket sport chance TO run OF the in
terclass tournament now in progress.

ernoon under very suspicious circum-
stances until the arrival OF the rain which

Devlin. freshmen; Brown and Eckenrode.
