Astonishing as it may seem. it never
theless is a fact that players on the
Georgetown foot ball team have peen
encouraged to break training this year,
and It is rumored that it is because or
certain laxity in the adherence OF the
players to the laws laid down by the
coach in regard to this that the recent
shake-up in the Blue and Gray eleven
took place 1t seems that. according 70
a very accurate report, two or three
of the players on the squad were invitei
out to worship Bacchus,. and after much
insistence they accompanied their hosts
and worshiped for the evening at the
feet of the god of merriment.
Such a condition at first glance would
seem to be almost impossible. and yet
it is certain that this is just what did
happen, and while 1t would appear that
men who cared little for the university
would be the ones to invite the players
TO break training rules and thus injure
the chances Of the team in its first b.,
game. just the opposite was the case

morrow in the scholastic series on George

The Giants deserve lot of credit for
| the eameness they displayed once they
realized that they had a chance to hit
Coombs. They stuck to the task to the
last and were properly rewarded. Once
the Athletics gained the three-run lead
they acted much like a team which
did not need any more runs. True they
tried to hit. but they did not exert them
selves as they usually do when the score
is close.
