The foot ball season, which ends tomor-
row, has undoubtedly been a success
among the local colleges. While there
have been some defeats registered against
the local Institutions, the schedule Of
each has been more or less of a success.
Georgetown has SO far had the most
successful year Of any of the local
schools. The Hilltoppers, although re-
ceiving % to defeat in their first big
game Of the season, have come to
the front since, and have played a tie
game with one Of the best teams in the
country. besides winning it's most import
ant contest of the year. II the Blue and
Gray eleven takes the long end of the
score in tomorrow's game with Lehigh it
will have finished what is probably the
most successful year that any foot ball
team in the south has ever enjoyed.
Catholic University has done just as
we'll and better than could really be ex-
pected from a team which has played its
governed the work of the Brooklanders.
The only crushing defeat sustained by the
team was the one received at the hands
of Virginia Military Institute.
Gallaudet has also had it's best season
out extraordinarily well, but owing to
injuries to it's star players it failed to
maintain the standard set in it's early
games. The Kendall Greeners though
linisned their season in good style ana
with much better record than has been
made in some time.
The Maryland Aggtes started poorly
and failed to snow their best form until
iate in the season. The team came fast

series of disasters. the Farmers won
from Western Maryland for the first time
IN eight years, but lost to their greatest
Tech and Central will play Friday. 1t
has been definitely decided that the .
streeters will meet the Manual Trainers
The day after Thanksgiving at 2:3O. The
teams. which were booked TO line up yes
terday, failed to do SO, because of the poor
condition of the field, and it was decided
before the conference ended that Friday
would be the best day on which to play
the contest. The conditions yesterday
would have favored Central had the game
been played and If the field is dry Friday
the Technical aggregation will stand a
much better show Of getting away with
the game than 1t would yesterday. The
majority of Techs successes so far this
year has depended on the ability of two
men to run in the open field, and had the
game been played yesterday they woulo
not have shown at their best.
Georgetown will endeavor to put a fin
lshing touch to what has been the most
successful foot ball season that school
mas had in many q year when it faces
Lehigh tomorrow. The Hilltoppers, while
they will be at a disadvantage because of
The poor condition of the field, will in all
probability give their opponents on of t! e
iardest games they have had this year.
The Blue and Gray defense, while it won d
not be as good against the heavy Lehigh
backs as 1t would If the field were in
better condition. will put up a stubborn
opposition to the advances Of the oppos-
ng team under any conditions. The one
great factor wherein the Georgetown
cam will be at a disadvantage, though
is in that its fast backs will not, be able
10 get as much power In their driving
4ttacks against the Pennsylvanians' line
nor will they have the same chance of
