FE|NL| MAY PITCH
IN TODAY'S GAME
AGAINST COLUMBIA
Georgetown Team Hopes to
Win After Whitewash
Victory Over Lafayette.

Georgetown will meet Columbia this
afternoon in the second game of the big
week holiday games. Coach Sprigman
has selected Chris Felnh to work for
the Blue and Gray team and from the
exhibition given by the pitcher against
the Nationals on Saturday an eXcep-
tional performance should be credited
to the popular twtrler. Fury will do
the backstopping.
Columbia comes with several star
players. notably Keindl, reputed the best
first baseman in the colleges today.
Keindl is also basketball player OF
ability and has played for several years
on the Light Blue and White. The Co.
lumbia team has had but few games
this year, but on form should be a
strong contender in today's game.
With the first game of the big series
OF the week safely tucked away with
Lafayette's defeat yesterday by to 0,
Georgetown is looking forward to the
games to come with the assurance that
big Dave White Is there with the goods.
The big fellow had everything yester-
day that goes to make a heady pitcher
and combined with faultless support be-
hind him succeeded in shutting out La
fayette with ease.
Ryan, utility fielder for Georgetown.
furnished the sensations In the game by
grabbing everything that came his way
including one catch that was thought
to be out OF his reach.
