GEORGETOWN HACKERS
WILL NOT GIVE ODDS
Injuries to Two Stars Cause
Confidence of HiIItoppers
to Drop.

With Dunn still in the hospital after
last Thursdays injury to his hip, and
with Wish, the star drop kicker laid
up with his booting ankle in straps, the
Blue and Gray foot ball enthusiasts abso-
lutely refuse today to think of giving
any kind Of odds on the team against
Virginia for Saturdays game. In fact,
many o. the Georgetown men with money
to bet are loud in claiming that Vir-
ginia sheuld take the long end Of the
erners are well conditioned for the con-
test
Not only are the four stars of vir-
ginia's backheld in fine shape, while
Georgetown's ball carriers are still in a
demoralized state. but the Orange and
Blue is also strong In the line. With
Capt. Geyer and Cecil, two giant tackles,
back In the lineup. and with Holiday
available for center should Woods in
jury keep him out. Virginia certainly
looks much stronger than 1t did Satur-
day, while Georgetown seems weaker now
than at any other time this year.
Because of these conditions and since
both Honaker and Todd are speedier than
any of the locals. Virginia's chances for
victory are especially bright just now.
! The southerners surprised the Blue and
Gray rooters by their plucky fight against
the Indians Saturday, and since then
Georgetown money has not been SO plen-
tiful, with the result that some of the
Hiltoppers are clamoring for odds.
The scrimmage yesterday, while 1t was
| disastrous one in that Walsh was in
jured. was nevertheless greatly beneficial
in other respects. Coach Nielsen. as
sisted by a host Of graduates, drilled the
men thoroughly on individual points, both
defensively and extensively. The varsity
showed UP far better against the scrubs
than last week, which was very consol-
ing to those who knew the relative
| strength of the two elevens.
Whether more scrimmages will take
place before the Virginia game is still
under consideration. The Maryland
| Aggies are willing to go up for prac-
| tice game either today or tomorrow
and their aid may be accepted, al
though there is now considerable OPP
position to taking any more chances
| with the West End players. 1t is GER
! tain that not more than one more prac-
/ tice battle will be held, and whether or
not this one will take place is yet to be
| settled on definitely.
! Developments Yesterday and this
game were many. More graduates are
| coming in almost every hour while
| the students of the school are fast or
| ganizing for cheering. A monster
mass meeting at the Law School last
evening was full of enthusiasm.
| Provision has already been made for
l securing a band and a box party for
both teams Saturday evening has
!, been set on the cards to take place at
| the National
! At tomorrow's game between the
1 Georgetown Props and Episcopal High
I School. which will take place on
i Georgetown field, the varsity PLAYERS
l will be close watchers. The AIexan-
4 dria lads are coached by old Virginia
men and hence play in about the
same general manner as do the Char
| lottesville stars. Because of this the
i local varsity expects to get further in
! formation on the style OF play that it
1 will be necessary for them to solve
Saturday.
