the coming season. Catholic University
was put down on the list for a game
on October s.. AS the Brookland school
does not open until October 4. and many
OF the football students do not get 20
school until several days after this date,
Il is impossible for the Catholic Uni
versity boys to accept the date which
Georgetown has allotted them. The team
should have at least three week
practice, the Brookianders feel, before
clashlng with the Hilltoppers as the
game means much to them. They con-
tend that by making them play on a date
so soon after the opening OF school,
Georgetown is not giving them square
deal.

League is experiencing the best season
Of its existence, the large crowds which
turn out TO see the games being the
most gratifying surprise Of the year
There are few fields that offer such an
ideal l0afng spot of an evening. the
diamond being off to itself without
residence Of any kind within three
blocks, yet accessible to the Florida
avenue car line.

crowds 10 each game, but recently the
attendance has dwindled down 10 Moth

ion Of the Georgetown fans.
