Attempted by a Southern School.

Mechanical.
Whether or not the Army Will be played
again Is question. There is an attempt
being made to get either Princeton or
Pennsylvania to come to Washington for
toppers went to West Point last year, but
1t is very questionable whether the idea
can be put into effect There IS one thing
certain, though, and that is that George
town will meet one of the big four
teams at some period during next season.
1t is generally thought that either Penn
syivania or Harvard would be glad to
have the Blue and Gray eleven appear
on its field. but IL Pennsylvania or
Princeton can be induced to come TO
Washington II Is not probable that
Georgetown will take a northern trip at
all, II having been given out on the Hill
top that II a game is arranged with either
of the "big four" elevens the Soldiers
ouakers' Alumni Want Game.
There has been a great deal OF senti-
verstty Of Pennsylvania alumni toward
having tho Quakers play q game in
Washington next year, and Il Is known
that representative Of the school went
to Virginia to consult with the authorities
OF that institution as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF arranging game to be played I'm
Washington. 1t would appear that
Georgetown would have just as much
chance to get the Quakers down here for
a game as would Virginia.
After the game with whatever big
school is scheduled. there will be an open
date In concurrence with the practice fol-
lowed In recent years of arranging no

that unless It gets what IL wants Virginia

toppers, but men who ara supposed to be
on the inside OF affairs are OF the opinion
that the matter will be smoothed over and
the regular meeting take place. IL the

be November 16. the one corresponding to
the time that the game was played last

games from that team during the past
two seasons, and both have been GOOD
financial Investments.
With its change In coaching policy
GEORGETOWN will have to undertake the
hardest task ever assumed by any south
era institution when ii opens its schedule
next fall. There is not a particle of doubt
that the Blue and Gray will be up against
proposition more difficult than 1t real
ICES at present, and IL it gets through such
list of games with success IT will be
deserving Of a great deal OF commenda-
ton, no matter how good the material
with which 1t begins its season.
