Indians The Hilltoppers will do a who're
lot better work against the Soldiers wheh
they journey to West Point next week 10
do battle against the eleven that defeated
Yale than they did against the oarilsie
Indians.
The shifts which have been made IN the
Pine and GRAY lineup are working well
and it will have much greater offensive
power in its game against the Army than
it had against Carlisle. Its defensive
power will also be greatly increased, as
it has had the benefit of a hard game
and a lot of work lately, and it is TO
be regretted that there is not an eleven
ON the schedule for this coming Saturday
that could be depended on to give the
tean q harder workout than the one from
st. Johns.
Watch Georgetown against the Army.
IT is likely to surprise somebody, unless
something unforeseen happens

saw enough to make them feel sklttlsn

If the practice being held on George

varsity eleven is any criterion the shiits
made in the eleven have strengthened II
and are causing it to play better article

Some of the men playing the positions on

When ST. Johns comes to Georgetown
Saturday the Hill .opers will have chance
to give sort of comparison between
themselves and Virginia. The Charlottes-
willie team could score only points on the
ANNAPOLIS collegianS in the game last
saturday. but it is probable that George
town will do much better than that. The
Blue and Gray eleven Will win by much
larger score than that. 1t would be no
, surprise If it should score forty points
II ten-minute quarters or longer are play
ed St Johns will come to Georgetown
with a light teanl-one that will be no
heavier that the one faced by George
town Saturday in Richmond. OF course.
the eleven is likely to be better drilled
and some of the men will have more in
dividual ability than Richmond College.
but in appearance the two will be very
much the same Georgetown will con-
sidera bly outweigh st. Johns, and it's
players are very much older as an aver
age. q
Incidental to the GeorgetOwn-St. Johns
game Saturday it might be mentioned
that there is likely to be goodly collec-
ton of Maryland Agricultural College
men in to see the contest. The Maryland
Asgies meet st. Johns the following Sat
urday in the annual game between the two
schools, and as the Farmers had rather
win from the mentioned team that all the
