KALAMAZOO, Feb. 21.-Joseph
Radziczcsca accuses two associates OF
trying to burn him to death in a fire
under one Of the boilers In a paper
mill. His arms were nearly burned
of. Radziczcsca, who is in a serious
condition, declared that 1t was only
fear on the part Of his assailants
which saved his life. He alleged that
his arms were in the fire and he was
fighting to prevent them from showing
him into the blaze when the two for
eigners thought they heard someone
coming Both ran and he crawled
from under the boiler. Officers who
are investigating, have been unable to
locate the two men accused by Rad

GEORGETOWN PREPS
TO HAVE GOOD TEAM

Georgetown's prep team has decided
upon it's lineup for this year. and from
all indications ii should have a very
formidable eleven. Capt. Marum will play
one half, while Crow. new man this
fall will undoubtedly be in the other
halfback berth. Cusack will most likely
be at full. and should make good, because
he is heavy and fast. Hurley and Cass
will be the guards. both being in the
300 class, while Mccarthy, a veteran
player and a star Of the prep base ball
team, is sure of his place at tackle.
The prep squad will play Western Wed
nesday, and should have an easy time
of it, as the Westenders are light and
are nearly all novices at the game.
However when the former meet the
Boys Latin School of Baltimore on the
latter's grounds next Saturday a very
close game should he played. II Is
questions whether the preps can work
their tricks and open game against the
Latin students, who are nearly all vet
eran players and equal the props IN
weight. Nevertheless, Capt. Marum Is
very enthusiastic over the game, and eX-
poets his team to return home with an
other ball as a token of victory.
George Childs, captain OF the prep track
team and one of the best interscholastic
elected assistant manager of the Blue and
Gray foot ball team in meeting held
yesterday at the Hilltop. Childs should
make very good manager, as he is very
enthusiastic over the gridiron sport.

BY II. C. BYRD.

While it is too early to give very
definite idea as to what teams in the
south will rank in the forefront this fall,
it is certain that from the present indica-
tions Georgetown and the North Caro-
lima Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege will again develop the best elevens.
Down in Raleigh the North Carolina
Farmers have the nucleus OF last year s
powerful eleven back, and it is certain
that, with the new men who are out for
the team, it will serve Coach Greene with
groundwork on which to build a team
which will be even more successful than
the aggregation turned out by the Ra-
leigh team last fall. Robertson and Cool.
the two crack halfbacks. and Stafford,
ca plain and quarterback, besides the best
linemen, are back and doing good work.
The only two men lost from the line
are Seiffert at end and Bray at center.
While both were cracks in their positions,
there are many other men from whom to
fill their places and it is not likely that
their loss will be felt to any great extent.

will have as good or better team than

last, which now is improbable. Vir-
ginia, the other eleven which. is gen.
orally in the forefront of the southern
universities in foot ball. is not apt to
be strong enough to win from George
town.
Georgetown will have better eleven
this year than last, even though the
team has not shown as we'll so far this
season. The Georgetown coach was not
at all pleased over the showing made
by the team against the Seaman Gun
ners, and that in itself is enough to
guarantee its coming to the front rapidly
later on
All things considered, it is pretty safe
to predict that when the end of the
present season rolls around the cham
pion ship of the south Atlantic section
will go either to the Blue and Gray OF
Georgetown or else to the Red and

Had GEORGETOWN arranged a game with
the Western Maryland College eleven
last year for this week, when it had an
opportunity, it would have had good stiff
game to play before it's hardest contest
of the season, instead Of having to go
up against two teams which do not suffice
to give 1t good practice.
The Seaman Gunners game as make
shift with which to open the season, was
not a poor one. but that the eleven will
have no stronger team to play before the
Carlisle game than the William and
Mary is certainly to be regretted. If
Western Maryland had a place on the
Georgetown schedule this coming Satur-
day 1t is certain that the Blue and Gray
aggregation would be treated to rough
scrimmage, the Marylanders held Lee
high to a IL to D score last week. VIII
liam and Mary in its game against Vir-
ginia Saturday showed that it had moth
ing in the way Of strength which would
justify the prediction that it Will give
Georgetown even fair game. In fact,
1t now seems very doubtful whether or
not the Southerners will do as well
against the Blue and Gray as did the
Seaman Gunners
There seems little doubt that at least
two of the big universities will have bet

Yale and Princeton are developing their
teams along entirely different lines this
year and by the time of their big games
should be much more formidable than
they were last season when they played

lost it's big game of the year with Yale.
