The schedule for the Georgetown Uni
vcrsity football team for the So, ,on OF
i9l has been given out by Manager
Walsh and at present includes eight
games II is most probable. though, that
before the Gridiron season opens up next
fall one or two more games will bo
added. most likely with some Southern
universities OF athletic rcpute.
The season opens up with Randolph
Macon on the West End grounds. on
September 3n and while the Blue and
Gray will probably find their opponents
easy. it will give an early line on Vir-
ginia'S and GeorGetown's relative merits,
sine" both Of them will play this eleven
carly in the season, and cOnscquently,
because of this fact, much interest will
be attached to this contest
The week following, on October 7.
Georgetown Will line up against William
and Mary. another Southern team. which
she has never before met, but which she
will probably find an easy proposition,
Judging from the past records of the
S"uthern"rs. Again there will be 4
chance to compare Georgetown with Viz
Einia, as the OranG, and Elue will no
doubt play them an early season game.
Play Carlisle Indians.
Two games such as these will put
Georgetown in line fcttle for the Indians
on October II, week later This will
he the first time these two teams have
met since 1873. when the Carlisle team
defeated Georgetown At American League
Park by the worst score ever suffered bv
a Hilltop eleven, IS to o. Because of this
iaCt Georgetown was dropped from the
place Of holding a Thanksgiving date
on the schedule of Gen. Warmers men.
and it is only now that the locals have
been able to win back date BIZ their
showing last season.
That they would have made worthy
opponents for the Indians last season is
attested by comparing the scores Of the
Carlisle-Nirgn!a and Observation-Disclosures
contests. both played in tins city a week
apart. The first WAS y to =, while George
town hIhnked Virginia. l. to o. the follow
ing Saturday. Richmond College has
again been included on the Blue and GRAY
schedule. after an absence of TWO wears,
Georgetown playing thi eleven in Rich
mOnd on October 21 in the first game
away from home. Although the Rich
mond team has not been budstiug Of
championship clnvcnS still they may give
Georgetown a hard fight as thCv did
when last they took the field against
the HiltOppcrs.
-. Johns comes to Georgetown on the
2Nth for the first time in football Al
though several times before they came
to play baseball. Neither one OF these
last TWO games should he very trouble
some for Georgetown, but will he rather
a rest after the Indian game and at the
same time an excellent practice for get
ting in trim to meet the West Pointers
at West Point on November l.
This will undoubtedly hn the -lardcSt
game on the Blue and GRAY schedule.
and the locals are more than anxious to
make a great showing in this contest.
rather than in any of the others. bar
ring. of course. the Virginia game. The
game will be played at midscason. when
both teams should be in the pink Of
condition, and it will give Georgetown
her only chance next fall to he rated
among the big eIrvenS Of the Fast. The
Cadets have terribly hard schedule, and
always put forth d wonderful team, and
consequently if the TIilltOppors could
take fall out of the Army, she will
have a great feather in her cap and will
receive a reckoning when it comes to the
close of the season.
The season closes again this year with
Lenigh on Thanksgiving Day, and if tho
struggle with the PennSylvanians will be
as close as il was last year, nothing bet-
ter could be wished for a more spec
tacular and hard-fought game could not
be imagined, the ball zigzagging up and
down the field until the victory finally
rested on the shoulders of Georgetown
by the close score of to ;.
There is no doubt that Georgetown
would find V. p. I. a worthy opponent,
but no date could be settled between
these two schools. Moreover. it may be
that the success which attended V. p. 7.
may now be transfer ed to North Caro-
lima. since Branch BocoCk. an old George
town player, who successfully coached V.
p. l. for several years. has now gone to
North Carolina.
It is probable that next season will
see the athletic field possessed of a much
larger seating capacity, which always
has proved inadequate for the crowd
which attends the Virginia game. At
present only about 1900 can he held on
he bleachers. but it is the intention Of
Father Emmett. the faculty director OF
athletics, to erect stands after the man.

hitch in the plans for such stands, and
