The only local foot ball game to he
played today is the ono between the Mary
land Agricultural College and Gallaudet.
Georgetown had contest scheduled with
the University of Maryland, but deemed
it advisable to cancel because of the fact
that the field is in such poor condition
that 1t is practically impossible to prac-
tice on it without danger of the men
twisting an ankle, and it was therefore
thought wise to notify the Baltimore
school that the condition of the field
was such that il would be next to i'm
possible to play.
Out at College Park this afternoon,
when Gallaudet and the Maryland Aggies
meet, there is apt to be one of the best
played games of the year. The Farmers
arc playing above the standard set during
the early part of the season. while Gal
laudet from it's work against Washington
College, has not deteriorated in the least
from the excellent knowledge of the
game that it has showed all season.
Ciallaudet will probably be without the
services of one or two of it's best men,
while NJ. \. &. will have the adva ntage
of the Kendall Green aggregation in this
respect, as it will place the strongest
combination possible on the field The
Farmers will he in shape to play their
hest game of the season. and 1t is hardly
probable that the Kendall Green aggre-
cation will be in poor condition, as 1t has
been looking forward to the game for
long while, and desires to win it above all
others.
The published lineup of the Army team
as it will face the Navy today shows
Dean to be absent. but it is not probable
that the game will be very old before he
is sent in. AS plunging and punting
year that stamps him as being one of the
hest players on either of the two. service
clevens. and it is likely that he will get
his chance to show his ability soon after
the contest starts, even If he does not
start in the first place.
The game scheduled for next Tuesday
between Technical and Central Will in Al
likelihood draw the largest crowd of the
scholastic season. There is much interest
in the contest. both in the schools and on
the outside While ii has been published
that the contest is to be merely an ex-
hibition, and such it is technically. still
it will be just as well if not better played
than the regularly scheduled game be-
tween the two was. Both Central and
Tech are making every effort to place
their teams on the field in the best con-
dition possible. The general conception of
an exhibition game is that 1t is contest
in which the players do not do their best,
and show desire to get 1t over as soon
is absolutely necessary to get 1t finished.
Such will not be the case, though. when
Tech and Central meet Tuesday. The
two elevens will battle for all they e
worth, and will likely put up the best
gridiron exhibition of the year.
Georgetown is just as we'll Off today
without a game as with one. The Hill
toppers have not as yet recovered from
the lethargy into which they naturally
fell after the Virginia game, and the
fact that they have no contest scheduled
today will take their minds of of foot
ball just about enough to have them in
the best condition for the game with
Lehigh Today year ago, when V. M. /.
was played, il was the week after the
Virginia game. and the sort of foot ball
played by the Blue and Gray aggregation
would not have done credit to a good
high school eleven, and had 1t met the
University of Maryland eleven today the
same kind Of game would likely have
been the result though it is barely pos
sible that the small game would have
given the team a chance to get the poor
play out of its system and show none of
it when it faces the Pennsylvanians next
week.
Yale will average three pounds heavier
