NO SECOND TEAM
Will Be Had at Maryland Agricul.
tural College This Year.

1t has been decided not to have a sec.
ond team at the Maryland Agricultural
College this fall. Although a schedule
has been arranged and the necessary
preparations made for the carrying of a
second eleven, the whole matter will be
called off and the schedule cancelled
No reason has been advanced for the
action other. than that the men who
generally compose the scrubs will be car
ried along with the first team. It Is
thought that a greater impetus will be
given to the game and more enthusiasm
developed In this manner than by allow
ing the second string men to play a few
games against some of the high and Sec
ondary prep schools.
The practice this week has been excep-
tionally hard. It has been realized that
If the men are to be in the best condi-
ton to open the schedule against the COL
leges they will of necessity have to
be put through some grueling workouts
There have been several shifts made. but
whether or not they will be permanent is
not known.
Another scrimmage will be held this
afternoon with Technical High. The
Manual Trainers. while they are not
capable of showing the Farmers to any
great extent, should furnish just about
fore the opening of the schedule Satur-
day.
The result of the practice today will
determine who will start the games
Richmond. The majority Of the men who
started against Tech last week will like
ly be sent In. but there are two or three
positions which are doubtful.

CATHOLIC j. HOLDS
BIG MASS MEETING
Much Enthusiasm Shown and
Students Urged to Sup
port Athletics.

"A Dig mass meeting was held in Nc.
Mahon Hall at the Catholic University
yesterday afternoon. 1t was attended
Dy fully four hundred students. This
Is the largest number of students ever
brought together in the history of the
institution. Walsh, Maloney. Blewett,
Greer and Mcdonald were the speech
makers. Walsh spoke on the necessi-
ties of an athletic association. Man
ager Maloney, Capt. Blewett and As
slstant Coach Greer spoke on foot ball
and urged the men to come out and
nsht TO the end of the season for posi-
tions on the eleven. Capt Mcdonald of
the base ball team requested the fresh
men to organize ball team and play
the sophomores a series of three games.
This is being done to get line on the
freshman ball players. Charley Moran
will be on hand to watch the games.
Coach McDevitt was out of town on
business and the squad was handled
by his assistant, Greer, and Capt.
Blewett
In the morning the men were given
one of the hardest workouts of the
season. The varsity linemen were sent
against the scrub linemen to get prac-
tice in breaking through and blocking
punts, while the ends have them down
and the backs receive them. Lee and
Clancy did the punting and both
showed good form.
For the first time this year two teams
We're lined up and sent through a sig

Clark. the Mount st. Joseph's star, re-
placed Cronin in center in the varsity
lineup. Cronin needs a lot of work in
passing. Clark showed up fairly we'll
and his passing was made in fine Style
Boyle replaced Silk at guard. Silk will
be unable to play, as his parents have
objected.
The whole afternoons practice was de-
voted to signal work and perfecting the
forward pass. From the amount of time
it looks as though 1t will be used fre-
quently during the games. In Robinson.

to make center on the eleven this fall,

it finally decided bys the faculty of the
School of Letters to admit him in the
senior year.
Croakin, the quarterback from ST.
Mary's. Kan, reported. Croakin weighs
about 40 pounds and is very fast.
Butler was out again, but could indulge
in light work only. as his injured shoul-
der has not entirely healed.
Scrimmage will start today, and 1t is
the last day two practices are to be held
as the classes start tomorrow. In the
future practice will be held at o'clock
in the afternoon, and every man is ex-
pected to be on hand at this time.

WILL DIVIDE SQUAD
INTO TWO SECTIONS
G. U. Coaches to Have First
and Second Teams Work
Against Each Other.

Again the Georgetown varsity foot bal
team was given a very stiff workout yes
terday, and was pitted against the second
team for a thirty -five-minute scrimmage
The second team scored once on the var.
sity, while the varsity was unable to
score at all Murray was the whole show
for the scrubs, repeatedly carrying the
ball for long gains. The work of Foley al
quarterback throwing forward passes to
Murray was also a feature.
From the showing made by the scrubs
yesterday it is evident that all of the
varsity candidates will have to show real
form in order to hold their jobs. Not one
man in the varsity lineup is certain of
his position. Heiskell, at tackle on the
scrubs, and Barron, also on the same
team, look like real foot ball players:
Big Bryant and Dutch HoIlander of
the base ball team were the new men to
report for practice yesterday. Bryant is
very fat, and the hardest kind of work
for the big games. Once Bryant is in
shape he will be big help to the
team, as his defensive work of last year
is fresh in the memory of those who
watched him in action. In the case of
Hollander. 1t is not known whether he
Will De dDle u III duy VI tlc
games, because last spring Hollander
broke his leg, and since that time 1t has
been very weak. 1t is thought that no
chances will be taken, and that he will
not be used.
1t Is proposed by the coaches to divide
the squad into a first and second squad.
This seems best because it will take a
great deal of work on the part of the
coaches to look after both teams. pro-
viding they have the same signals. 4
separate set Of signals will be given to
each squad. and they will be worked in
this order.
It is proposed also to give the second
team plays that are used by the Indians
and Virginia. This will be of great help
in developing a team to meet these two
elevens.
The case of Tormey remains about the
same. 1t is doubtful if he will be able to
play again this year.
Donnelly. who injured his shoulder
some time ago, was used for a short time
in the scrimmage yesterday, and as a re-
suit his injured shoulder received such
q severe blow that he was laid out. Dom
nelly will not be allowed to come on the
field at all. He is willing worker and
also a star performer, but he is too en-
thusiastic, and as a result, he will be kept
On the injured list.
