CENTRAL SHOULD HAVE AN
EASY TIME IN SCHOOL SERIES
Blue and White Eleven Looks Much
Stronger Than Any of Other As
pirants for Scholastic Title.

just what is wrong with it when it comes
to scoring tallies is a puzzle. The backs
seem to be as good as they were last
year, but for some reason or other can
not get across the line for touchdowns.
Whether 1t is lack Of unison or weakness
in the backfieId or just poor work on the
part Of the whole team will be shown
when 1T strikes its first big game. If
there is latent power in the eleven it will
be evidenced when it goes up against a
team of the caliber of Johns Hopkins.
While Central has good team, it is
composed of youngsters who are much
younger than the Farmers. and that
alone should have enabled them to
beat the high school boys, and that
they should receive a 14-to-0 beating at
the hands of such an aggregation was
entirely unexpected 1t was the first time
in the history of Maryland Agricultural
College foot ball that any thing of the kind
ever happened. Tech managed to defeat
the poorest team Maryland Agricultural
College ever had 6-to-5 score. but
that was the only time that the Aggies
have ever been humbled by foot ball
team from a local high school.
With Georgetown playing the Indians
and Virginia meeting SwarthmOre, a fair
ly good line on the comparative strength
OF the two rival eleyens will be gained.
While of course. the Quakers are not as
strong as Carlisle they are a formidable
aggregation. and it will be the first OPP
pOrtunity Of the Virginia team to show
its real strength. as it will be George
towns.
Business looked a whole lot better
against the Props yesterday than did
Western when 1t played the Georgetown
youngsters. The Props scored three touch
downs against Western, while against
Business they could negotiate but two.

charge of brutality in boxing was wide OF
the mark The matching OF Wells ana
johnson had created wide interest IN
army circles, and If they only knew how
the tickets had been bought in Chelsea
barracks (the barracks Of the Household
Brigade, the flower Of the British army
they would require no further assurance
on that point He could only say that
speaking as the secretary of the House
hold Brigade Boxing Club. and as one
who for many years has been a spectator
at professional matches. he had yet to
see sights that would warrant charge
of brutality being leveled against box
ing. Mr.. G. T. Cunning said that he
spoke from forty-year association
with boxing. The objections to the match
were, it appeared to him, based on three
grounds: Brutality. the color question
and the size of the purse.
Big Purse Not a Factor.
AS to the latter it was beside the mari
as regards boxing. To get the best il
was necessary to pay the best price. Al
experience went to show that brutalit!
did not enter into boxing. and as to thu
color line it had never obtruded itself
before. o
Mr.. Eugene CORR said that he failed tt
understand how in common, ordinary fair
ness the contest could be stopped; thai
as most of them knew he had had a fair
ly long experience of refereeing boxine
matches had seen .n many ,, meeti ns ,s es
boxing matches had been in his expert
ence always conducted most fairly and
in a proper spirit.

NO GREAT CHANCES
Light Work Will Be Done To.
day and Tomorrow in Prep
aration for Big Game.

Secret practice was again carried on al
the Blue and Gray field yesterday after
noon, when the Georgetown University
foot ball squad went out for its daily
workout, which proved to be the lightest
in many days. There was no scrimmage,
as Coach Nielsen does not wish to take
any chances with his men on account OF
the big game with Carlisle Saturday. The
varsity team was driven through snappy
practice. the coaches giving greatest at
tention to the development of more speed
both in the backfield and on the line.
A great improvement was shown in the
running Of interference, as the men work
ed well together and there was notice
able snap 10 every play that was pulled
off during the afternoon. The coaches
also used substitutes in the regular line
up, so that in case Of injury to any OF
the first string men substitutes may be
put in without weakening the eleven.
Most of the new plays that have been
worked up for the Indian game were
gone through yesterday with great sue
cess. Today and tomorrow there will be
very light work given to the squad. as
it is the intention of the West End
coaches to give their men a good rest
and send them fresh against the red men.
Skip Wymard. the big tackle, was abb
sent from practice yesterday owing to
slight injury on the knee which he re-
ceived in Tuesdays scrimmage. 1t is
hoped. however. that the big fellow will
be out today, for his absence from the
Carlisle game would greatly weaken the
Blue and Gray line.
The greatest possible enthusia SIN is be-
ing shown by the students of the hilltop
university. as new yells and songs are
being learned for Saturdays struggle.
Section &C. Of the Georgetown stands,
which is the one on the west side, is to
be reserved for the rooters for all the
different departments of the institution.
Appropriate words have been written to
several of the new tunes and the team
which meets the Indians will not be beat
en- for want of announcement.
According to the latest reports. the
tickets. which have been put on advance
sale at Spaldings and Whites sporting
goods stores. on 14th street. are going
very fast. There is little doubt that a
crowd will be present at the Georgetown
Carlisle game which will break all pre-
vious records Of attendance on any OF
the local gridirons.

BY II. C. BYRD.

Just what Central will do to the other
teams in the scholastic series which is
booked to start one week from tomorrow
begins to be more clear with every game
in which the Blue and White figures.
The Central team, basing the opinion
upon the showing of the various scho-
lastic teams to date, will win the inter-
scholastic championship with the great
est ease. At present there does not seem
to be one of the other schools which
looms up strong enough to make even
good showing against the Streeters.
The Central team had about the best
material ever seen in one of the local
schools at the start of the practice sea-
son, and with King, the old Princeton
man, guiding the eleven for the past few
days it has shown remarkably improved
form and yesterday trimmed the Mary
land Aggies by a 14-to-O score. There
is no other high school team that could
even give the Farmers a close fight, I'M
less II be that Tech might. but it is de-
cidedly improbable that the Farmers
would experience much trouble winning
from the Manual Trainers. as the Gal
laudet reserves trounced them yesterday
by 10 to score.
II Central fails to walk away with the
high school championship it will be due
TO one Of the greatest upsets in form
that has ever taken place in local foot
ball circles.
In Yesterdays battle against NJ. A. c.,
King. the Central tackle, added great
deal of strength to the line and braced
up what has so far been the teams only
weakness.
Every game played so far this season
by teams by which an idea OF the
strength of the Carlisle team could be
gained has sufficed to show the Indians
great strength this season. YESTERDAY
when Dickinson penetrated the defense or
the Pennsylvania eleven for two touch
downs IL did something that 1t was UNI
able to do once against Carlisle. Judging
by the result of the game yesterday, Car
isles defense must be stronger than
Pennsylyania's. as against the former
Dickinson could make little impression,
while against the latter 1t twice crossed
the goal line. Whether Georgetown has
a better offense than Dickinson remains
to be seen.
II Wymard were kept out of the In
dian game because Of injuries there is
no doubt that 1t would cause the weaken
ing of the Blue ard Gray. 1t is doubtful
81 any man could be placed in the posi-
ton to do as well as Wymard, unless
BRYANT could be shifted to the position
and some scrub placed at guard in his
position.
Again 1t seems that something Is lack
ing with the offense OF the Maryland
Agricultural College eleven. The team to
date has shown fairly good defense, but

and sent a right to the jaw for which
he was given more body marks.
In the fifth Nelson rushed Beecher to
the ropes, but the East Slider fought well
in close until Nelson forced him away
by swinging his right to Beecher's left
eye. Beecher landed a solid left to the
jaw without rocking his opponent. Mel
son came fast at the end. and when
Willie tried to box at long range Mel
son bored in. Nelson had a slight margin
in his favor at the bell
Thereafter both boxers wearied under
the whirlwind speed of the previous
rounds. but Nelson at the end Of the
tenth had the better of the argument.

Cannot understand home secretary in

tween Slavin and McAuliffe the judge de-

Clergyman Makes Defense.
The Rev. Edward Digby said: "What is
one to think, what can one think, of the
whole affair, from beginning to end?'' 1t
gave him real pain to find himself in OPP
position to a man who had done so much
good in the world as had the Rev. F. B.
Meyer Mr.. Meyer was conducting his
case like the very astute general that he
was, and small blame to him for that,
for if a man entered upon fight he
might as well fight hard. He ventured
to say he could get hundred clergymen
to sign a counter petition, a hundred
that would be far more representative.
Personally. he said, he would never at
tempt to run slum mission if he could
not have boxing as very real help. He
had known not one case, but countless
into decent. clean-minded citizens by
their boxing.
Color Line No Argument.
He must just say one word on the col
ored question. This particular part of
the protester's case seemed to him the
strangest anomaly. For years Chris
tan nation had been saying to the black
race, You are our brothers, but today
they turned round and added, You may
be our brothers, but we're hanged if
you are going to share our sport" He
considered that they could send from
that meeting a petition to the home sec
rotary ten times as influential as the one
he had already received.
The Rev. Father Boulder said that he
spoke after an experience extending over
a widely differing field among the work
ers of England and he should feel in
clined, if he were prevented from using
boxing as one of his means Of work, to
give up that work altogether. He be-
lieved that the present opposition to box
ing would in the end have a beneficial
effect. One thing that it would prove at
any rate was that big section of the
clergy were not killjoys. He was per-
fectly sure that boxing had a great deal
to do with the cultivation of strength
Of mind and moral life in every man. and
he was dreadfuIly sorry that the ObJec-
ton to this match had been raised in the
name of religion.
The Rev. Mr.. Brown Defends Sport.
The Rev. Darrell Brown followed and

Endorsed what his fellow-clerics had said

The death roll Of the number of
trespassers on the Pennsylvania
railroad lines in this State for the
past two years was twenty-one. Be-
sides eighteen were injured. From
January 1st, 1909 to November 30th,
1910, eleven people were killed on the
Maryland division of the road, and
nine injured between Claymont and
Iron Hill. On the Delaware division
of the same road ten were killed
in the period extending from January
1st, 1909, to December Both, 1910,
while nine were injured. This is
the toll of disaster among those in
dividuals who persist in trespassing
on railroad property. 1t does not
include those injured while in pur-
suit of their duties. Trespassing
on railroad property has proven to
be so deadly that the Pennsylvania
system as we'll as other railroad sys-
TENS is waging a warfare against
trespassing, and its efforts along
this line have evidently been re-
warded. Since 1907 there has been
a reduction in the death rate of
trespassers of almost 300 and tn,
toll is no longer two a day.
