CAPT. BATTISTE Is
BADLY INJURED
Gallaudet Leader Is Hurt in
Practice Scrimmage.

With the game against the fast st.
Johns College eleven, at Annapolis, on
the list for Saturday, there is gloom in
the Gallaudet football camp, as Capt.
Hume Battiste, the star Indian left end
and best broken field runner in the Johns
Hopkins game Saturday, is on the hos
pital list, with a remote chance of re-
covering in time for the game with the
Annapolis cadets.
The Bun and Blue leader was serious
ly injured in a practice scrimmage Tues
day. when the Western High School
backs were trying an end run.
It is likely that Jones,sa fast new can
didate, will take Battistes place in event
the Indian cannot play. Meantime,
Hub" West, the veteran right guard, is
acting captain of the Gallaudet eleven.
Left Half Back Classen is back in his
togs. but still shows the effects Of his
old Norfolk injury. Rockwell, the won
derful little right end, was in uniform
yesterday, but could not engage In the
scrimmage against the scrubs on account
Of the pain due to his Mount Washing
ton injury. That the scrubs, who have
been under the careful coaching Of the
Reserves coach, Harris, held the varsity
to only two touchdowns in an unusually
rough battle Of eight-minute quarters
Yesterday. is a great disappointment to
the football authorities at Kendall Green.

Coaches Enthusiastic Over
Shevlin's Plays.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. s-Several
new formations. devised by Tom Shevlin.

thirty minutes drill on these plays con-
stituted the practice. The other coaches
are enthusiastic over the plays and will
keep the men at work on them for sever
al days.
Several varsity men have not recovered
from last Saturdays game and were
idle to-day. The workout was one of
the lightest of the season. Dave Dunn
was again played at full back, assuring
him, It is said. Of a regular berth. Mer-
ritt, Anderson, and Reilly. varsity Grip

VIGILANTS MAY
PLAY GEORGETOWN
Southeast Team Likely to
Battle Saturday.
TAKES MT. ST. MARY'S PLACE
Open Date Left by Cancellation of
Game by Mike ThOmpson's Eleven
Be Unable to Play, Seamen Gum
ners VIII Face HiIItOppers.

In all probability the crack Vigilant
football team will play Georgetown on the
Hilltop Saturday afternoon, taking the
place of the Mount ST. Mary's team,
which Cancelled the game the early part
of the week
Late last night it looked as if the Vigi-
lants would surely be the opponents OF
the Hilltoppers Saturday, the only hitch
in the proceedings being the inability
of the Vigilant manager to corrall all
his players. This will be attended to this
morning, and 1t is almost a certainty
that the southeast aggregation Will be
seen on Georgetown Field against the
Blue and Gray eleven.
Manager Walsh is anxious TO arrange
game for saturday, and should the
Vigilants be unable to play the Hilltop
pers. the Seamen Gunners or the Troop
d eleven, from Fort Myer, will battle
on Georgetown Field.
Secret practice was the order on the
Hilltop yesterday, as Coach Nielsen tried
out several new plays, the ones he ex-
poets to use against the Virginia aggre-
cation Saturday week.
Jimmie Dunn, who played a great game
against the lads from Charlottesville last
year, was again in the back field, and
looked good, tearing big holes in the sec
ond team. which lined up against the
first string men.
Capt. Daley was out in uniform, look
ing none the worse for his hard battle
against the Army team last Saturday.
Mike Cunniff is expected back this aft
ernoon, leaving Moriarity the only mem
Der of the Blue and Gray squad that is
not on hand. Moriarity is at his home
and reports from there last night stated
that he is improving and that he will be
here Saturday morning.
There was no regular line up, the back
field being shifted time and again, prac-
tiCally every man that is out for a place
being given a chance. The new plays de-
vised by Coach Nielsen worked good, con-
sidering that this was the first time they
had been tried.
The Hilltoppers are not taking any
chances of going stale before the big
battle. and stiff practice against the sec
Ond eleven will be the order from now
on. Coach Nielsen will not allow any
spectators on the field whatever, the men
working behind closed gates.

CATHEDRAL BEATS
BUSINESS HIGH
Stenographers Defeated by
II to @ Score.

Business High School football team,
minus the Services of several regulars,
held the strong Cathedral School eleven
to a II to 0 score yesterday at Tennally-
town in a fast. Cleanly played game.
CathedraTs attack was well concentrated
in contrast to that of Business. while
her defense was almost impregnable, and
the superior physical condition of her
men showed to an appreciable extent at
the close OF the game, when she scored
two, and almost three. touchdowns in
whirlwind fashion.
Cathedral scored in the first period on
Smalrs recovery OF a long punt by Gar
Der and Garber's goal and twice in the
last quarter on two long off-tackle runs
by Capt. lockwood. CARRIER kicked one
of these goals. Capt. Lockwood played
the best game for the Episcopal School.
with Cleyborne and Harris playing well,
while Harris and Wise were the best per-
formers for Business.

BY WILLIAM PEET.

I'm glad the Washington club has
hired Griffith. He is the best man they
could possibly get for manager" said
Scout Mike Kahoe yesterday, and he
added:
I've known Grih ever since I have
been in baseball-which is a few years
and have always admired him. This talk
about having poor material is a little
premature. Wait until he gets q look at
those three youngsters I landed from the

stronger next season than he did the

Virginia has forced Johns Hopkins to

Eastern plays Western tomorrow on
Georgetown Field in the game that will
decide the holder of second place in the
scholastic football series. now that Cen
tral and Tech are almost sure to finish
the season tied for the first honors, and
a battle royal should result.
Eastern should defeat the Red and
White aggregation on the form displayed
by the lads from Capitol Hill in the
game with the Stenographers last week.
In this contest Eastern used every style
of football, including end runs, straight
line plunges, forward passes, and on-slde
kicks
The work OF the backs could not have
been better, Capt. Weaver, Cohill, and
Hawley Smith doing great work against
the heavy Business aggregation. The
headwork of young Wells in quarter back
stamps him as being one of the best
in the series, although he cannot carry
Schoenfeld. Wells is good, and It VIM
be the generalship of this lad that will
defeat Western tomorrow.
Eastern Has Good Line.
Easterns line held good against the
onslaughts of the Business backs, and
the playing of the ends was one OF the
features OF the struggle Fisher and
Manning made a pair of guardians on
the point positions that is hard 10 beat
Williams and Pope did good work. the
former making many holes with ease for
the backs to plow through.
Western will not be outclassed by any
means, and with little the best of luck
might spring a surprise on the lads from
the Hill. Curley Byrd's eleven is not
the weakest team in the series by far
and the line OF the Red and White team
will prove a stumbling block for the
Eastern backs. McArdIe and Howard
are two good men, and should they once
start using an open style of play may
get the Eastern eleven on the run, and
in that event land the title
But the majority of the followers Of
high school football pick Eastern to win.
Coach Shea has drilled the lads in the
open game every day, and Capt. Weaver
is confident of victory Last year East
ern defeated Western in the only game
the Red and White played, the team
disbanding after that contest. And the
boys from the Hill arc confident of re-
peating the trick of last season.
Another large crowd is expected, as
there is a great deal of interest in the
game, not only from the view that it
will decide the holder OF the second
place position, but also the fact that
these are the teams that have to play
Technical and Central Should either of
these teams defeat the leaders, or even
tie them, the other eleven will be the
champion for the season.

CORNELL IS HOPEFUL.
Ithacans See Chance to Defeat
Michigan Saturday.

Ithaca. N. Y, Nov. S-Cornelrs show
ing against the scrubs this afternoon
gave the student body new hope for the
Michigan game. The varsity scored
twice, and for forty-five minutes with
stood the heavy attacks Of the strong
subs. Everything was in the game.
Two notable changes were observed in
the line-up-Miller having replaced
Whyte at center and Champagne play
ing at right tackle. Both men made a
good showing and they will probably be
played against Michigan. With the ex-
ception Of these two changes the Itha-
cans will tackle Michigan as they are
now placed.

SCHOLASTIC
ATHLETICS

Eastern will enter the game tomorrow
against Western the most confident ag-
gregation that has ever stepped on a
local gridiron. Since the boys from on
the Hill handed Business that 9 to 0
trimming last week, the by-word has
been, "On to Western and it looks as
if the Light Blue and White aggregation
will more than keep their promise.
Buck" Howard, of baseball fame. will
again be in the western lineup to-mor-
row, and from the work of this lad in the
other games, should prove to be the lead
ing ground gamer on the Red and White
team.
Prospects are bright at Western for a
corking good baseball team next spring.
Chief Myers will again lead the nine,
and Chief says that his club will hand
the other teams a good beating.
Central will again have good track
team, IL the material at the school counts
for anything. There are plenty Of good
cinder path artists on the o street eleven.
and Coach Foley will bring out the best
in them.
Eastern will once more make strong
bid for the interhigh basketball title.
As there is plenty of material at the
Capitol Hill institution, their ambitions
may be realized
