Banquet.
PRESIDENT TAFT
ENJOYS AFFAIR
Enters Into Fun and Says He Is
Proud of Being 4 Char
ter Member.

President Taft. Senators. Representa-
tives, and men in other walks Of pubic
life donned foolish little paper caps
that were passed around and ssdned in
stunts to show they were college men
again at the annual di-ner OF the Uni
versity Club Of Washington.
The affair was held at the Willard last
night and mere than 600 men attended.
Striking through the fun was an oc-
Casiohal vein Of seriousness, one when
President Taft again told the college
men of the responsibility that was
theirs and another when Champ Clark
aimed some STURDY blows at the educa-
tionaI system of the United States
The democratic spirit of the club
came in for frequent attention and it
was demonstrated when frequent sallie5
were made at men seated at the table.
The President Of the United States, the
Speaker of the House, Senator Carter.
Senator DepeH. and other prominent
men saw themselves jolhed without
mercy and saw travesties on themselves
Among the absent who came in for a
share Of attention were Theodore Roose-
welt and Clifford Pinchot. who were i'm
personated by Walter Penfeld and
Claude y. Bennett, respectively.
Another bUrlesque was aimed at Com
missioner Rudolph, District Attorney
Baker, Thomas c. Noyes. Clarence
Norment, and W. B. Hibbs. Each Of
these men was hailed before Ivory
Soap KimbuT' in a psuedo police court
and given punishment to suit their al
legged offenses. Golden Donaldson was
highly effective in Judge Kimballs role.
Song to Taft.
There were also songs one Of them
was:

And buck the whole burned line.

Major Conrad. who was introduced by

on the old South. making a plea for the
UNFOLDING OF its ideals, and deplorinr
the spirit Of cOmmercialism Of The pres

From the two games played in Philade1-

conclusions. The Cubs miss Johnny Evers,
their star second baseman. and have not

Zimmerman. The Chicago pitchers have
not surprised those critics who said that

Mr.. Lynch proposes to dispose of some

FEAR DEFEAT FROM
GEORGETOWN BOYS
Pittsburg University Working
Hard for Big Game
Saturday.

PITTSBURG, October 20.-Is the Uni
versity Of Pittsburg foot ball eleven go
ing down to its first defeat of the year
next Saturday when it faces the George
town University team? That is the qves-
ton which is bothering Blue and Gold
followers this week as a result OF definite
information which has been received re-
garding the true strength of the southern
eleven.
Since the season opened critics have
been bewailing the fact that Pitts sched-
ule has been entirely too easy and that
the eleven will not have real hard test
until the W. and ]. or possibly the State
game. Georgetown was not taken into
consideration at that time and judging
from reports which have arrived here
from the Washington institution the Blue
bunch of cripples Saturday. Coach
Thompson is In receipt Of positive infor-
nation that In Georgetown the university
team will go up against foe OF equal
caliber with the Notre Dame eleven.
which sprung such gigantic surprise
on the locals last fall.
Floyd Rose. who has been identified
with the gridiron game for many years
and who was in his day considered one
of the greatest quarterbackers in the
country. happened to be in Washington
last Saturday and dropped over to see
the Blue and Gray go up against Wash
ington and Lee. The latter team, which
in past years has been an equal match
for Georgetown, was trounced to the
tune Of % to 0.
In speaking OF the Georgetown team,
Mr.. Rose said: Il have seen a good many
foot ball teams in my day. but I am free
to admit that the Georgetown bunch is
one Of the fastest. quickest thinking
punches I have watched perform for
many years. The new rules appear to
just suit them and they have the open
game down to high stage of develop
inent. In Dunn and Kraft they have two
backfield men who will open the eyes Of
Pittsburgers. They are both speedy. and

weighs 100 pounds. The other two back
field men are on a par with these two
men and the line is heavy and aggressive
Take it from me, Pitt is going to have
Il hard time downing this team Saturday
and the game is going to be q thriller. II
the local boys ever let them get a flying
start it will be all off,
Coach Thompson has maintained all
along that the GEORGETOWN game would
be one of the hardest of the year and ne
is working might and main to prepare his
eleven for a grueling battle. The Of
Tense is in pretty good shape and the
linemen will be given the most attention.
A lot Of new plays will be held in re-

likely that Quarterback Dewar will have
to call for everything in the teams rep
