Johns Hopkins did against the Navy
last Saturday, Hopkins being the spe.
cial opponents of st. Johns.
Head Coach Douglas Howard, who
started his career by playing on St
Johns, said that no effort will be made
to run up a big score on the repre-
sentatives of his old college. Many new
players will be used, and It IS not GER
tain that Captain Dalton or I;odes will
get in the game at all.
The game Is not likely to be much OF

contested between the five Washington
high schools, the Business High eleven

the eighteen or twenty huskies who are
trying to honor the colors of the school

their school and almuni.
Averaging in the neighborhood of 150
pounds, the Business boys go through
their preliminary work so fast and with
ton for one on the side lines to see
exactly what play is executed. There is
probably no one eleven among the high
schools that has so well perfected its
forward pass, drop kick, and shift plays,
and the speed with which the Stenog-
raphers execute the end and center
rushes is worthy of varsity eleven.

Indian Game to.
Be Filled With
Thrilling Plays

Undoubtedly the game between
Georgetown and Carlisle, on Saturday
next, will develop into one Of the most
spectacular contests ever played in this
locality, for Coach Nielsen, of the Blue
and Gray eleven, is planning to meet
the Indians with their own style of
attack, the open field play. With both
teams using forward passes and onside
kicks, the spectators are certain of
receiving the many thrills in which the
gridiron fan exults, and the satisfaction
which results in being able, at all times,
to see the ball.
Coach Nielsen, realizing that his fast
but light backfield will experience the
greatest difficulty in piercing the Car
lisle line, is training his men in the art
of making the best use Of their speed
and is instructing them in deceptive
forward passes and tricks of all kinds,
which plays, IL they get well under
way, Will permit the Georgetown backs

Well Balanced Card
At Pimlico Today,
With Results in Doubt

BALTIMORE, Oct. 11.-Pimlico offers
a well balanced program this after
noon, in which the fields are better
matched than at any time during the
meeting thus far.
Nothing seems to stand out very
prominently and picking winners is apt
10 be attended with considerable hazard.
The track will be slow, and the form
student Will not have q clear field for
their calculations.
The first event, for two-year-olds for
maidens. looks very open, and any. ons
of four or five might win. Elton Blue
has a royal chance, with Garry for the
place as good as anything. Henotic
might improve OF his race Of the OPEN
ing day.
For the second race, Marona-a and
Shelby look like the contenders. Gold
| wick showed a flash of speed Monday,
and will bear watching.
The third race brings out a big batch
of maidens Of no very particular mo-
ment- Sam Rank, vino has been trained
at Benning, showed a clever perform
6nce at Laurel last week when he was
Just beaten out by Doc Streets CaRdi-
date, and might win here. Bob Vernon
and Patton may go well for the place.
Waterway looks like the goods in the
steeplechase- Jimmy Lane, which won
yesterday, may not go this afternoon,
in which case old ColigDy would seem
to be good place prospect. Firestone
will make his first appearance through
the field in this event, and If he should
take kindly to the going it would be
all over.
The fifth race is another open affair.
If Chiffon Sduaw can stick 1t out she
should win. idle Michael or the Wilson
entry may get the place.
Beaucoup looks a good thing In the
last race with Superstition and Busy the
contenders.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa. Oct. II.
-Lehigh put in an afternoon of hand

gle today. The formations planned for
use in the contest Were tried out thor
oughlv. Dayton spent part of the after
noon practicing punting and Dazzetti in
placement kicking. The men are all in
fairly good condition and expect to give
Princeton her hardest struggle of the
season. Coach Reiter, and the squad Of
about eighteen men left for Princeton
early and at noon a special train carry
ing 200 students and towns people fol-
lowed.
Because of his good work in the Buck
nell game, Flick will start at left half
and on the line Bailey will be shifted
from end to tackle instead of Knox. who
will alternate at left guard with Nc
Kenzie. Dayton and DaZzetu will both
start the game at left tackle, and quar-
terback, they having recovered from
their bruises.

During the drop kicking practice, Nc

star, while endeavoring to block one

Browns Tackle Breaks
Nose in Last Game

PROVIDENCE, Oct. 1.-THE practice
of the Brown eleven yesterday was
light, and only few Of the varsity men
were out, the team in signal drill being
composed almost entirely of substitutes.
1t was learned today that Victor Gelb.
the A0-pound tackle, broke his nose on
Saturday. Tenney, the right halfback,
has the jaundice, but Is recovering.
The coaches will now work to build up
the defense of the eleven. The line is
fair as 1t stands, but there are no good
substitutes. Bartlett, 200-pounder,
who can play guard and tackle, is badly
needed. He is ineligible now, but will
take an examination in a few days to
try to work off his conditions.

The Redskins were givsn short talk

going to the field were drilled IN start

fundamental exercises with snap. Coach
Warner has devised q gauntlet run

with great effect today.
The signals were put through with
lots Of steam. and the concluding scrim-
mage between the varsity and second
teams was as brisk as probably any
midway season game of the country.
