GALLAUDET QUINT
READY FOR WORK
Good Games on Buff and Blue
Schedule.

Manager Michael Lapides, I3, Of the
Gallaudet College basketball team. has
completed his schedule of games and
yesterday placed it in the hands of the
faculty athletic committee for final ac-
ton. 1t is rumored that there will be no
Georgetown-Gallaudet games this year,
owing to the Hilltoppers' unwillingness
10 give the Kendall Greners dates later
than Saturday. December 9, and if the
report turns out to be true, 1t will be
great disappointment TO the District in
tercOllege basketball enthusiasts, but
there cannot be any blame attached to
the Gallaudet manager, who used all his
efforts to have the championship games
pulled of in the same satisfactory man
ner as was done last season. when
Georgetown cinched the title, with Gal
laudet second and Catholic University
third.
AS usual Catholic University has been
given two dates on Gallaudet's schedule,
but il is announced that Maryland Agri-
cultural College will not have basket
ball this season, much to the regret of
the Kendall Greeners, who had reserved
two dates for their Farmer rival When
the Gallaudet faculty approves Manager
will be found on the Bun and Blue list
Capt. Arras is having a part of his
large squad at practice. The varsity
football players intending to play basket
ball are excused until next week in order
to recuperate from the hard gridIron

Big Scholastic Game.
atGeorgetown To-day
Technical and Central High Elepens Meet on
Gridiron to Decide Supremacy for the 1911
SeaSon-Marine Band to PLav
'Are you going to the biz game to-day!'.

Are you going to the big game to-day
That question is popped at you at every
turn. for the play-off of the tie in the
scholastic football series will be staged
on Georgetown Field this afternoon, the
battle being started by Referee Cans
promptly at 2:45 p. m, with Technical
High facing the crack Central eleven.
The Manual Trainers had their final
workout yesterday at Potomac Park, and
when the team was seen returning from
practice It was o'clock, so the boys had
great day Of final instructions for the
big game to-day.
Coach Thomas and the several we'll
known football stars who have been as
sisting the Central boss, worked the D
Streeters yesterday until II was too dark
to see the ball, and that the wearers Of
the Blue and White will go into the battle
fit to fight to the last second Of play, and
confident of victory, is an assured fact.
The teams are about evenly matched,
and a scoreless tie was the result of
their last game, some freak play, a
blocked punt or tumble seems likely
to decide the winner. On form, the o
Streeters should win, but with Country
Morris and Eckendorf in the Black
smiths back field the Maroon and Gray
eleven will be able to put up a mighty
battle. "Mooch" Peake is slated to start
the game in the back field for Technical,
but just what position is hard to say.
Reuter- TO Play.
Fritz Reuter- is once more in condition
and will be seen in left half back, with
Van Dyne and Hamilton as his running
mates, while King will play left tackle.
Should Reuter- be injured, "Murph" will
be shiIIed to left half and Zappone will
go into the tackle position.
Coach Thomas. CnnDinPhan1
and Phil King are through with the Cen
trail team now. and the boys will receive
their final Instructions from Jim Sprig-
man, the famous Central and George
town baseball coach just before the game.
What 'Sprig' wilLtell the lads will never
be learned, but il is safe to say that they
will receive a good talking to, and will
go into the game ready to put up the
battle OF their lives.
Both elevens are ready for the game.
the TechpIcal squad being in tiptop shape,
while the Central aggregation will go
into the game with every man in perfect
condition. Reuter- is once more able to
put up his usual classy game. While the
game will not decide the championship
the winners will be looked upon
as the holders of the title.

GEORGETOWN HAS
STIFF SCRIMMAGE
Plenty of Work for the
Lehigh Game.

The Georgetown football team had a
stiff scrimmage with the scrubs yester-
day on the Hilltop in preparation for the
big game with Lehigh here Thanksgiving
and the boys were worked as hard as
any time this year.
The scrubs put up hard fight, and the
varsity was unable to do much with the
second team. Coach Nielsen will have
the men out to-day for a good, long
workout, after the Tech-Central game.
as he expects LehIgh to put up a hard
battle, and that the Hilltoppers will be
outweighed Is a sure bet.
The same team that. started against
Virginia will start the Lehigh game, at
the present outlook, and that the Blue
and Gray will be able to give as good
an account of themselves as they did in
the Virginia battle is the opinion of all
the Hilltoppers.
Costello and Fury tore of long end
runs, while White was a demon plung-
ing through the line. The forwards held
good, and every man seems fit to put up
great game against Lehigh Thanksgiv-
ing afternoon.

likely spot for the battle.

Union League Park is the one In favor

Harry Grant was the first to get away,

In the various colored uniforms, head

their mechanicians presented a weird
spectacle as they sped away on the long
grind.
Mulford was the eighth to start. but
before the fifth lap had been completed
he had wrested the lead from De Palma,
and he held II until the finish. De Palma
held on, and il was a terrific struggle
between the first four cars until the last

wild dash and finished with a comfort

Standard Oil company divided after
the supreme court decreed it's disso-

stock certificates containing proper

were mailed to the 5000 odd stock

No provision has been made for the
elimination Of the fractional shares

Street practice of having fractional
shares listed on the stock exchange
and dealt in until they become con-
solidated into full shares is not pos
sible in this case, because at present
the oil shares general cannot be list

plan undoubtedly would be worked
out.
