Georgetown Will elect It's foot ball cap
tain for next Year Sunday morning. 1t
was intended 10 make q choice OF a man
to lead the eleven in 1912 iast Tuesday,
but certain matters interfered with the
arrangements and the meeting was post
roned- The men who have won their
letters during the season are tie players
on the squad who are allowed 10 vote for
the captain. and as the ones to receive
the insignia were not designated until
yesterday the election had To hc deferred
There are two men s.anfIng ont promi
Hently for the place, ard they "a Costello
haIfhack, and Hesarty. end. Just waica
of the two men VIII get the place VIII NOT
be definitely known until after tho elec-
ton is held 1t has been Thought that
Hegarty would win easily. hUt II = proba
Bile that Costello VIII make q better
showing than is generally expected when
IL" ballot is taken.
Both men are good individual perform
orS. being as good a. there are IN the
south in their respective positions, bat as
far a. the ability 10 lead the team i
concerned the general opinion Is that
Iesarty is the better man. Ia some
quarters IL is expected that Costello VIII
win and in others t is thought that
Iieearty Will De the man chosen.
Tie Maryland Aggies' foot ball team
will be given biz dinner this evening
al he COLLEGE Covers viii be laid for
about forty people, and besides the mem
Lers OF the squad who VIII be preseu- il
Is expected that several alumni will at
tend.
The annual dinner given The Farmers
eleven is generally the occasion of mucI.
JOY making and is one Of the real events
of the year at the college. The officials
of the college arc generally III attendance
and whether or not the season has been
Il success IL so far as GaneS won and lost
are concerned they always EXPRESS their
appreciation of the work done by the
men. individually and collectively Or.
Sylvester. president OF the college. and
Prof. Richardson. faculty director. Of am
lctics are expected 10 make addresses
II is probable that Immediately after
The banquet this evening there VIII be-
meeting of the members OF the eleven
and election Tor captain viii lac held.
The prevalent idea seems To be that ship
ley who led the team this wear will be
accorded the honor again for next SEA
son. a though there are other men eligible
for the place and who would probably
make good if given the leadership.
Gallaudet Will be the first of the local
. colleges 10 open its basket bali Sched-
ule. The Kendall Green five VII start
its season tomorrow against the s.
Johns College quint. The game Is ~
p~cted to give good line on the prob
able strength of the CaIiaudet team dur
ing the cominG year. just how strong the
team Will show itself To- be tomorrow is
a question. but it Is Very probable that it
will be one of the best nVes that has
ever represented the institution /, i
made up Of practically the same MEN as
composed last years squad. and with the
experience which they gained throughout
last season they should have little trou-
BILE playing much better bali during the
season at hand.
Battiste, Arras. FoltZ, Roller and
DURAN constitute Il veteran team. Be
fore the season Is over they should show
as good an article of basket ball as any
other minor college quint in this section.
While the schedule is rather hard for Il
secondary college there is every indiCa-
ton that the team Will play through it
with much credit TO itself.
While from spectators standpoint
there Is little more to basket ball than
SbIowtng the ball from one man TO an
