| Georgetown will hold its annual fall
! gymnasium meet Tuesday evening, De-
cember 10. The date selected is the one
before the students go to their homes for
| the holidays. 1t was decided to have the
affair take place at that time. because 1t
was thought that a greater number of
men would engage in the competition.
| Prof. Joyce, physical instructor at
Georgetown, says that the meet will be
| a much more comprehensive affair than
ever before. several events having been
added to the list which has been run off
on the occasions of the other games Be
| sides the boxing. wrestling, tug OF war.
Jumps and sprints that have heretofore
! been held, relay races, battle royal
and several other new features have been
added 1t is the opinion of Prof. Joyce
| that the meet this year will be the larg-
| est of the kind ever held by the Blue
and Gray school
There will be events for the college stu
dents and men from the graduate de-
partmentS of the university, conducted
separately A feature of the meet will be
a tug of war between teams from the law
and medical schools. There will be some
well contested events, too, as some of
1
| tered in the various races and 6ompetl-
| tons.
| The regulation gold medals given by
Georgetown in its big winter intercolleg-
| late meet will be awarded to those win
ming first places.
Technical High will have the material
for one of the best teams in its history
next fall. The Maroon and Gray eleven
will have practically the whole of last
seasons squad back in school. with the
exception of Morris, and from it should
turn out much better aggregation of
players than it did during the fall just
passed. Morris will be lost to the team
and 1t will be next to impossible to fill his
place, but the other ten men should i'm
prove enough to more than make up for
any deficiency in the matter of individual
play The great weakness of the Tech
eleven in its championship game this
year was the fact that its line was gen.
orally crushed and its plays broken up
almost before they We're started. Next
fall. with the experience gained, the Man
ual Trainers forwards should be more
able to open holes and box their oppon-
ents so that their backfield can &c:
formed and started on a run before some
opposing end or tackle gets in and
smashes the play.
1t is very probable that Mccarthy. who
played center on the Carroll Institute
basket ball team last year, will be shift
ed to play forward on the Georgetown
five. Mccarthy started the opening game
OF the season at center, but failed to use
as good headwork in giving the signals
as he might have done. The former Car
roll man is a good individual player and
is one of the best men in the District to
jump up and shove the ball into the bas-
ket in a scramble around the goal. To
utilize McCarthys ability is necessary,
and it is likely that Coach Collifiower
will send him in to play one of the for
ward positions. where he will not have
to give the signals and still Will give the
team the benefit of an extraordinarily
good player.
There is a great deal of comment be-
ing made in the west regarding the fact
that Walter Camp failed to place single
man west of the Alleghenies on his all
American foot ball team. In cartoon
in one of the western papers map OF
the country Is shown giving emphasis TO
the small strip of land along the At
lantic coast and the great territory which
lies 20 the west of it.
In the territory representing the west
are printed the names of Nebraska, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Kansas. Illinois. In
diana, Minnesota, Ames. Iowa, Chicago,
and about a dozen other big schools in
that section. and above it all flies pen
nant with the words The Great West
written on it. Under the cartoon was
the following: LAS usual. Walter Camp,
in picking his all-America team, recog-
nizes only the strip of land lying along
the AtIdntlc coast.
Western experts think that there are
| players among the institutions in that sec
| ton who should have been placed
| the big team There is little doubt in
their minds that men like Shonka of Ne
| braska and Rosenwald of Minnesota de-
| serve places on the honor team picked by
| the Yale man.
Georgetown has arranged a basket ball
! game with the Navy to take place Feb
| ruary %. Negotiations have been going
I on for some time between the managers
| of the two quints. but it was not until
| this morning that the Hilltoppers were
assured of the date with the Midshipmen.
the lame with the Navy Will prob
abe be the one which will decide the
championship of the south Atlantic sec
ton. There is little doubt that George
town if il improves in proportion to
! the strength shown in its first contest,
| will be ranked next to the Navy, and
/ if 1t should win from the midshipmen
will be granted the premiership of the
south.
| Georgetown will give it's foot ball
team a big banquet tonight. The com
mttee in charge of the arrangements
| has tried to make the event the big
| gest of the kind ever given to a Blue
! and Gray foot ball team. and accord
| ing to the reports of what may be ex-
pected success has attended its efforts.
! Ingram Church and the National
| Guard indoor base ball teams will meet
! tonight In their first game in the City
| League 1t will be the second game of
the series.
| The Carroll Institute five turned the
| tables on the Y. NJ. G. A quint last
night and won the second game be-
| tween the two teams by a good margin
