GEORGETOWN SURE
. Of MEETING BRACE
Of STRONG TEAMS
Pennsylvania and Princeton
Consider Playing Hilltop
Eleven.

Georgetown Is sure that next years
football eleven will meet both Princeton
and Pennsylvania. Negotiations are now
going on that will bring one or both
Of these big teams to Washington in
1912. Pennsylvania seems perfectly will
ing to come to the Hilltop for an Oc-
tober game, but the Tigers, while desir-
ing contest with Southern eleven,
prefer to have It played at Princeton.
Pennsylvania has an open date for
which both Georgetown and Pittsburgh
are applicants. The Quaker football
authorities are balancing the relative
merits of the games as business propo-
sitions, and are inclined to favor the
Georgetown game ahead Of the Pitts
burgh contest. An answer Is expected
from Philadelphia within a day or SO.
Princeton's schedule meeting will be
held next Tuesday, and then a reply
will be made the Georget .wn authoTi-
ties. The Blue and Gray believes a
game here would net a large profit,
but the Tigers want the game at Prince
toun.
Georgetown intends meeting some of
the strongest elevens in the country
next year. Most likely Army, Navy,
Princeton, Pennsylvania, and possibly
Cornell, will be faced, which galaxy OF
football struggles should come close to
making the schedule one of the best OF
the year.

PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH

The first thing to be done In the
treatment of Catarrh is to begin the
use of a medicine that will have
direct effect on the source of the dis
ease; in no other way can any cura-
tive progress be made. S. S. S. does
this more quickly and satisfactorily
than any other medicine, It is the
most penetrating of all blood puri-
fiers, thoroughly, yet gently, expell-
ing all catarrhal matter and impuri-'
ties from the circulation, and by its
fine tonic properties strengthening
and building up the system in such
healthy manner that it Is enabled to
overcome the depressing effects Of
Catarrh. Some local treatment Is
often desired to open the air passages
OF the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and tickling" of the
throat, and other unpleasant symp-
toms. There are many helpful
measures which may be resorted to,
and there are others which may be
harmful, and to aid Catarrh sufferers
we have prepared q special treatise
on the disease which will be of great
value to any who suffer with this
trouble. This book together with
any medical advice will be sent free
t3 all who write and request il. Take
S. S. s. regularly and according to
directions, and 1t will certainly re-
move the cause and cure your Ca-
tarrh. S. S. S. is sold at drug sto es.

n was today learned that a represen-
tative OF the Amateur Athletic Union
has been making an investigation into
the status Of Harry Costello, who, for
the last two years has been playing such
brilliant football for Georgetown.
1t seems that the A. A. U. people
got an impression that because Costello
was officiating for the vigilant Athletic
Club that he was obtaining money for
this work. The vigilants have caused
the A. A. U. considerable worry, as the
governing body Of amateur athletics of
this section felt that the players were
being paid for playing their Sunday
games.
Manager Oliveri heard Of this, went to

every expenditure. These papers would
indicate that no one connected with that

A. A. U. people took up the matter of
Costello.
While 1t is not generally known, 1t Is
nevertheless fact that Costello is an

possibility Of bringing the University of

Four "Big Eight" games for each

Der of the Meridcn High School squad,
and was being counted on last winter to
do considerable work for the university
In that particular branch of sport. In
practice, however, he fell and broke his
angle, which eliminated him from all
participation in sports for the remainder
Of the year.
Presuming that Costello would apply
for registration, the A. A. u. started it's
probe in order to be prepared to give
him a definite answer at once This in
vestigation. searching as 1t was, proved
beyond a reasonable doubt that there
was nothing that could be held up
against this young New Englander,
whose football record during two falls
has attracted such universal attention
among gridiron enthusiasts in this sec
tion. Costello denied that he had re-
ceived any money for his officiating,
said that his presence on the field was
brought about by his friendship toward
certain men playing. and when these
statements were vouched for by Mana
ger Oliveri, the A. A. u. was, apparent
ly, satisfied, and Costello's standing Is
today as good as II ever has been.
How much more part Costello will take
in athletics during the remainder of the
year is not yet assured, but, SO far as
Is known, the A. A. U. Is now satisfied
that he Is a bona fide amateur, and
thoroughly eligible to compete in any
sport sanctioned by the Amateur Ath-

Sharpe Calls Dewitt
Strongest He Ever Saw

DR.. AL Sharpe, the old Yale back. now
coach of the Penn Charter teams
claims, that John De Witt was the
strongest man he ever saw under the
attack of a combined Yale team.
II will never forget De Witt" said
Sharpe. He had the stun such as few
men ever possess. We shot two men,
our best two, all the game at him
There was not a play where he was not
brought down. That was the old game
fair and open.
81 will venture to say that every Yale
player dove into him dozen times dur.
ing the game to tire him out and
weaken him so that he could not lead
the Tiger attack. Then just before the
close OF the game he booted goal from
the field that beat us.
II have often wondered how many
times he went to the earth, how many
times he threw Yale men. He was q

as a blow to Tech. the fact that Cen
trail should take almost third Of it's

played his best game of the year. Van
Dyne did as much as any man In that

In handling kicks and the straight
plays he was a potent factor from the
outset. Fritz Reuter- was Central's best
man on the attack. in the judgment OF
those whb were running the team, and
he started the game with the under
standing that he was to be run to death
from the very start. There was a fear
that perhaps this fast man might not

show that he did his most praiseworthy
stunts in the last quarter, when mer
of whom he was supposed to be inferior
