Just as was predicted yesterday, Skip
Wymard. the Georgetown tackle. will be
out today for the first time this season
to begin regular practice with the Blue
and Gray squad. 1t was pointed out that
Wymard was not the kind of fellow to
let any little differences that might eX-
list in the college interfere with lending
his services to the foot ball team when
he knew they were needed, and such has
proved to be true.
The rumor was strong that Wymard
would not play this year. and there were
some grounds for it, but the big tackle
stated this morning that he would be out
this afternoon to give the team the best
that is in him for the remainder of the
season.
While there was not much doubt enter
tanned from the first that Wymard would
eventually come ont for the team. his
attitude caused the coach a great deal OF
worry, because his lateness in reporting
for practice might cause him not TO be
in good condition for the opening games
Now that he is out the squad Will get
down to real work with what will prob
ably be its regular lineup for the re-
nainder of the season.
Four of the big foot ball teams start
their season this afternoon Yale will
line UP for the first time this year against
Wesleyan. the Carlisle Indians will meet
Muhlenburg; Cornell will try conclusions
with Allegheny College. while Dartmouth
will have it's first real try-out against the
Norwich University team.
Wesleyan is reported as having the
best prospects in years, and is very hope
full of being able to cross the Dark Blue
goal line Yale has not had the amount
of practice that Wesleyan has. and prob
ably is not in as good condition 10 go
through a hard struggle. 1t is needless
to say that Yale will go great ways 70
keep it's goal line safe Cornell should
have an easy time of it with Allegheny
and Carlisle will probably beat the Muh-
lenburg team by thirty points or more
Dartmouth should also have little trou-
BILE getting away with the Norwich
eleven.
the east which will be watched closely
by the followers of Georgetown, that be-
ing the one in which Lehigh meets Leb-
anon Valley. 1t is known that carlisle
has one of the strongest teams in its
history this season and if the Lehigh
eleven manages to run good score on
the Lebanon aggregation, anything near
the fifty-three scored by Carlisle against
the same team, it will be certain that
Georgetown will have it's hands full when
it meets the South bethlehem eleven
Thanksgiving day.
The Technical High team will play its
first game today, when 1t meets the
Maryland Aggies out at College Park.
Whether the Manual Trainers stand much
chance to give the Farmers a close game
is a question. The next to the last time
that Tech met the College Park team was
in 1907, when it was defeated by a 13-to-0
score. The year before that the High
School boys lost by only 5-to-O tally.
1t was in 1908, though, that the Farmers
met their waterloo at the hands of the
local scholastic aggregation, they being
defeated by margin of one point. 3

With Morris in the lineup, the Tech
meal eleven would stand an excellent
show to come out with fair measure of
success in today's contest, but without
him it is doubtful if it will find itself a
good match for the Aggies. 1t is barely
possible, though. that Tech will show UP
