about put the whole Brookland eleven on
the hospital list. The team is in a very
crippled condition because the heavier
men on the northern eleven bruised and
battered the players so much they have
hardly been able to get out in uniform.
A loss which was suffered this morning
by the c. Z. eleven was in letter re-
ceived by Mcdonald from his parents,
which forbade him playing this season.
Since he reported few days ago it was
mainstays Of the backfield and that he
will not be able to be a candidate for the
eleven again this year means that a green
man will have to be developed for the
place.
Georgetown will probably meet the In
dians this year in better shape than it
met the Army last season, as far as the
physical condition of the players is con-
cerned There Is hardly a man on the
Blue and Gray squad who is not in shape
to go into the contest right now, and
with the rest which is to be had in the
next two days it is probable that the
players will display more dash and spirit
There has been great deal Of discus
sion about the st. John's-Maryland Agri-
cultural College game which has been
unnecessary. The Farmers were origi-
nally scheduled to meet the Annapolis
school Saturday, October g. but when it
was found that faculty edict demanded
that several of the regulars on the eleven
would be compelled to go to Chicago. st.
Johns was notified and was asked to
consent to a postponement Of the date.
No attempt was made to evade the issue
and it was simply stated to Prof. Cecil.
the faculty director at st. Johns. by
Prof. Richardson, faculty director at the
NJ A. c., that the poStpOnement was de-
sired because the Farmers would not be
able to send their first eleven on the field
the date scheduled. Prof. Cecil agreed
to the postponement. and stated that it
would be perfectly satisfactory to play
the contest Tuesday, October %.
After having accepted the promise in
good faith. and after working according
to that, the Farmers were notified by let
for ST. Johns to hold to what had been
agreed upon, and that the game would
have to come off as per the original
schedule.
Had st. Johns stated in the beginning
that the game would not be postponed
and that If the M. A. c. regulars would
be missing it was NJ. A. C.'s misfortune,
guments forthcoming. but after the
promise was given out of good sports
manship they do feel that they have not
been dealt fairly with by having 1t re-
scinded at the last moment.
Washington College will come here
Saturday to play the Catholic University
without having lost a game. The east
ern shore lads have yet to meet defeat.
and have won every contest played by a
fair margin. They have a scrappy team,
which is heavier than the average eleven
Of that class. the forwards being excep
tionally bulky.
Under the conditions, Western High will
have to hustle to win a game this sea-
son. 1t is not likely that the Red and
White team will be able to finish in front
in either the Tech or the Central con-
test, and if Eastern has the same
backs as it had on the field last year 1t
will be an even-up choice when it meets
the Light Blue and White.
The Maryland Aggies eleven will go
into the game against st. Johns Satur-
day with at least two Of their regulars
out of the game, and perhaps three. They
will be handicapped to the extent that
some capable individual performers will
be missing and the team play will, in a
measure, be sacrificed.
Whether or not the Aggies will be able
to rise to the emergency Is a question
st. Johns has a powerful eleven and
the whole problem will center in whether
or not the Aggies. defense will be able
to stop 1t.
