Big SOCCER GAME
BOOKED MORROW
Washington Club Tackles the Fast
Sons of St. George of
Baltimore.

Washington fans WIN see one Of the best
soccer games ever staged In the Dis
trict Sunday at Capital City Park. when
the crack Washington Soccer Club
champions of the South, tackle the
speedy eleven representing the Sons OF
ST. George. Of Baltimore. Last Sunday
the Washington aggregation defeated
the local Sons of St. George team. and
the Baltimore clubmen are out for re-
venge.
The local team has played three games
this season. winning them all by good
sized scores. and the game tomorrow
should be by far the best Of the year.
There is bitter rivalry between the locals
and the lads from the Monumental City;
and a battle royal may be expected.
Manager Mortar and Capt. McGinty
have been working hard all week to get
the men in shape for a hard battle to-
morrow. and they stated last night that
when the Washington team goes on the
field tomorrow, the best succor outfit
which has ever represented She District
will be seen. The succor game will start
at $50 O'Clock. at the conclusion Of the
Marcury-Meridian football game.

PRINCETON KBBTS

TIGERS CONFIDENT
Orange and Black Men Still Claim
Victory Although Steady Rain
Has Dampened Their Spirits.
CORNELL AND WILLIAMS MEET

Princeton. N. J.. Nov. 1.-Few thingl
could shake Princeton's self-confdence
as effectually as to-dsy's steady down
pour has succeeded in doing. The one
burning question here 10 whether Jupiter
Pluvius will favor Harvard or whether
n watery field will help Princeton as II
did against Yale last year.
It may not have rained at Cambridge
rs 1t has at Princeton, but even II II
has. the Tigers are not going to give up
victory which they look upon a. al
ready belonging to them. The general
tone of conservation was not so bright
as the train pulled out in a drenching
rain this afternoon but the confidence was
still there and Capt Pendleton 10 ex-
pected to bring back a still undefeated
eleven.
Twenty-six men picked as the varsity
squad left on the 9:33 train this morn
ing with the coaches and Kerne Fitz-
patrick. They were given a rousing
send-on by several hundred undergrad
yates who cheered and sang continuously
began to pull out. the last strains of
"OId Nassau rang out and were fol-
lowed by locomotive" cheer for
Princeton which made the putting Of the
real locomotive sound like a toy.
When the undergraduate special went
out this afternoon it was crowded by
nearly GOO students bound for Cam
bridge.
Harvard the Heavier.
The Crimson eleven averages six
rounds to the man heavier than the
Orange and Black, but little attention
is paid to that since overcoming a
rwelve-pound handicap in the Dartmouth
game.
Neither team can hope to win by a
large score, but Capt. Pendleton's team
has not only a clean record to keep
clean. but a precedent to live UP to since
Harvard has won only two games from
the Tigers in all their football history
Not the least incentive to do their best
is the fact that the 1872 football cham
pionship probably hinges on this game
The probable lineup leaves "Hobey''

poned to next Tuesday. Rain and the
sogsy condition Of the gridiron are the
reasons given by the board Of faculty
advisors.
The faculty advisors Of Eastern and
held . conference yesterday at noon. and
declared the game postponed, much to
the chagrin OF the Stenographers and
to the delight Of the Eastern squad. II
was figured that should the game b
played Tuesday. Capt. cohill and sew
eral other Eastern stars would be In
The game.
Advisor crandall. Of Business, spiked
this. however. when he refused to agree
to . postponement unless the same elisi-
bility rules. which would have governed
the game yesterday, would be in affect
Tuesday. This will allow all those who
did not fall IN their studies in the first
advisory to play. and will prohibit those
who were eligible before the mark
went in from playing. In this way.
Capt. Cohill Of Eastern, will not be
able to get in the game Tuesday.
But there is another angle to the
story. Principal Small. Of Eastern. IL
Is said, stated yesterday afternoon that
CohiH would play Tuesday. or there
would be no game. This 70 in direct op-
position to the agreement made by the
faculty advisors
Crandall. Of Business. wanted to play
the game. as did Wallis. Of Eastern. but
Principal Small. OF Eastern. refused to
allow the team to play. and the game
was called of.
Now. under the agreement made yes
terday. should cohill be played In the
game Tuesday. somebody will be break
ing q promise. and that will not loSk
very good for the party involved.
Why the game was postponed in the
first place lis q mystery hard to solve.
It is true that 1t was raining about noon.
but 1t cleared up later and the game
could have been staged. This idea Of
calling on football games on account
Of wet grounds IL foolish. n football
does not require the same kind Of field
as baseball. The game could have and
