Camp Bengar. Nd, Nov. H.-This after
noon the entire Georgetown University
workout and signal drill, which lasted
until long after dark. Every play that
the Blue and Gray will use against Vir-
ginia Saturday was gone over several
times and judging from the remarks
that were made by the West End coaches
after the practice, the work OF the var
sity eleven that will line up against the
| Orange and Blue Saturday afternoon was
very satisfactory.
Although the coaches of the local team
are confident OF victory in the cham
| pionship battle. they are not letting
up in the work that's being handed out to
| the West End gridlron heroes to any
great extent. The workout that was
given the eleven here to-day would be
considered a hard practice for a team
| in the East. However, the West End
| ers have seen their last hard workout
before the game, as tomorrow afternoon
/ will be devoted to a very light signal
| drill, which will be the only work that
| will be required of the men all day. In
| the workout tomorrow afternoon the
| coaches will in all probability only drive
the men through each play once, and
will then send them back to take of
| their toys. With the exception Of the few
minutes that will be given to light foot
ball practice this afternoon. everything
possible will be done to keep the mems
| minds of the coming game, and so they
will go out on the gridlron tomorrow
well rested to battle for the supremacy Of
the South.
The weather prediction made late yer
terday afternoon by the Rev. Francis
Tondorf, S. j.. at the Hilltop observatory.
is that the game Saturday will be un-
der the finest kind OF football weather
| 1t was announced that It would be clear
and much cooler for Saturday. and IL
this report turns out to be true there
| should be one of the largest crowds Of
the season out to see the game.
There will be a mass meeting held at
the Georgetown Law School Friday even
iIE at $40 in order to practice the cheers
land songs that will be given az the Vir-
ginia game. Plans will also be discussed
| for getting the embryo lawyers
to attend the game in a body.
All the men that will be in the
cheering section of the game on the Hill
will be in line OF march from the law
school at Sixth and E Streets and will go
from there up F TO Fourteenth and up
Fourteenth to II, where they will take
special cars to Thirty-1rst and P Streets
In Georgetown. They will be met at this
point by all the men from the college de-
partment Of the university and will con-
tinue from this point to the Hilltop field.
The parade will be accompanied the en-
tire distance from downtown by a band
of forty pieces of music.
Judge Gould will preside at the meeting
at the law department of the university
tomorrow evening at O'Clock. while the
following men will address the students:
Sy Cummings. Mr.. JamisOn. Manager
LoichOt. Of the football team; Capt. He
garty. and Coaches Dennis and Gargan,
as well as Graduate Supervisor of Ath-
letics Daley.
The meeting at the law department will
follow one that is to be held at CASTOR
Hall on the Hilltop earlier in the even
ing.
Although the seating capacity at the
Hilltop field has been increased to 1000
seats. from the present outlook every
seat on the entire field will be taken for
the game. 1t seems that as fast as the
Hilltop management erect new seats the
demand for tickets increases and con-
sequently the demand for tickets remains
| the same each year for the Virginia
game.
Billy Fitzgerald. the old guard of the
Hilltop field in 1910, was here this after
noon to watch the Georgetown team go
through their workout After the prac-
tice had finished he congratulated the
BLUE and Gray coaches, and said that in
his opinion the West End institution had
better team this season than at any
time before in the history of the game
at the local institution.
Botchie Barron and Husk Ritch have
added another man to their burlesque
troop in the person of Lelor, and keep
the entire camp amused each evening at
Practical jokes, that generally accompany
such a trip as the local football men are
on now. together with an imitation of
Southern dialect, form the principal
means by which the above mentioned
trio amuse the squad.
The officials for the game tomorrow
afternoon have been finally decided upon,
and the three men that oficiated last
season will again do duty tomorrow.
.Donnelly, Of Trinity, will act as referee,
while Tom Thorpe, of Columbia.-and
Land, OF Navy, will act as umpire and
head linesman. respectively. In these
three men the arrangements of both
teams may be sure that they have three
men that will be masters Of any situa-
ton that may arise, and will handle the
game with the greatest possible efficiency,
as they have always done in the past.
All three officials have been appointed by
the Collegiate Football Association Of the
East.
