CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October o
AT meeting of the executive committee
OF the q. A. A. held Friday the resigna-
ton OF Thomas C. Carter as manager of
this years basket ball team was received
and accepted Eppa Rixey. jr., assistant
manager of the team, was elected to fill
the position made vacant by Carriers
resignation. An assistant manager will be
chosen later. Carter's reason for resign
ing was that he would be unable to re-
turn TO the university before January,
when he will take charge of the base ball
team, of which he is captain.
Felix a. Jenkins was chosen cheer lead
er for the season Manager Moore of the
base ball team submitted part of his
schedule for 1912. Amherst will again be
seen here Friday and Saturday, March

Negotiations are now being carried on
games, and II these are arrangned they
will doubtless be great drawing cards. as
Columbia has not appeared in the south
for several years.
Nothing definite has Yet been arranged
about the Yale game In Norfolk, but it
is thought that this will take place about
the same time as that scheduled for last
year. The usual Carolina trip will be
made and the third game played at home
and Pennsylvania have been secured and
An attempt is now being made to have
Georgetown play here during the week.
The season will end with a southern trip
as well as a number of road games to be
played both In the east and south.

GEORGETOWN TEAM
BEING PUT THROUGH
Blue and Gray Eleven Work
Hard to Get in Condition
for Indians.

In another hard workout yesterday
afternoon on the Hilltop the Georgetown
University first string men outplayed the
scrubs, as the former showed their
superiority in every department Of the
game. The scrubs were only able to make
first down in a few instances during the
scrimmage. as the varsity line held like
stone wall. and repeatedly threw the
second string men for losses. On the Of
fensive the first team tore off good gains
with apparent ease, and if they improve
as rapidly next week as they did this
they should make a good showing against
the redskins in next weeks big game.
Hart, the big tackle. is just beginning
to come up to his old-time form, as he
played a most important part in yester-
days scrimmage. He opened large holes
in the scrub line without seeming to use
any effort, and would keep ahead of the
play and take off couple of the men
thus making possible good gains by the
backfield men. Hart is not only an ex-
cellent offensive player, but is equally
as good on the defensive. The big local
boy is often through the opposing line
and has the leather down before the play
gets under motion. If any of the elevens
with meet the Blue and Gray this fall
wish to keep Hart boxed up they will
nave TO select TWO or tnelf OeSt men 10 90
the trick.
Quinlan. who has been attracting much
attention while playing on the scrubs,
was promoted to the varsity yesterday
afternoon. and acquitted himself very
favorably as a first string halfback. He
is not only fast but is able to pick an
opening in the opposing defense as soon as
it presents itself. and then rushes through
for a good gain In the scrimmage yes
terday afternoon he gained considerable
ground for the varsity, and If he con-
tinues to keep up his present gait he
should make a strong bid for a place in
the regular Blue and Gray backfield. This
new varsity halfback is also able to drop
the pigkisn between the bars from the
center of the field.
Carrigan and Kelley reported for work
on the Hilltop gridirOn yesterday. and al
though neither of them will be In condf-
ton in time to get in the Indian game,
they will, however be seen in action in
some of the big games that are to follow.
The former is this years captain of
track team and veteran halfback,
while the latter is a local boy and played
half on last years Central High School
team, being able to carry his IT'S pounds
at a good clip in the quarter-mile.

they will have the best chance in years
to win from their great rivals.
The training table for the law school
students will start this evening in George

department of the university do not have
time to go to their homes for dinner
after practice and get down to the school
before classes begin, and it is for that
reason that arrangements have been
made to give the men their meals at the
college.
