pionship Thursday, when it meets the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical College. The Blue and Gray
squad will leave here tomorrow evening.
arriving in Raleigh the morning of the
day on which the contest will take
place.
That Georgetown should win by fair
margin is certain. The showing made by
the Hilltoppers in the games so far is
conclusive enough evidence that there are
few of the south Atlantic elevens In its
class. The comparison by scores OF the
North Carolina and Georgetown teams
would appear to show that the latter is
the better. with lot to spare.
In it's first game Of the season Wash
ington and Lee defeated the Richmond
Medical College by score of to .. n
week later A. and NJ won from the same
| institution by the same margin. Judging
by that. 1t would seem that the local
eleven has every chance In the world to
run up score of at least fifteen points.
1t will probably outweigh the North
Carolina combination, and ought to put
up better article Of foot ball.
North Carolina y. and NJ. is seldom an
easy team to beat on it's own grounds, and
| 1t may develop that the Blue and Gray
will have all kinds of trouble getting
away with the game at all: Judging by
| reports, had things broken better for
I Washington and Lee the score would
| have been closer, and the chances are
that a. and NJ. will really prove more
difficult proposition than did the Lexing-
! The squad will leave here tomorrow
evening. 1t is probable that about twenty
men will be taken along. The same line
| up as that which started against Wash
| ineton and Lee will be the one which
! will open the game in Raleigh. with
! the exception that Van Brockline's place
| at end will be taken by Bergen.
Van Brockline was the only man who
| sustained any injury in the games last
week which will keep him out of the
contest Thursday. He could probably
| play under necessary. conditions, but it
is figured that he will profit by the lay
off. and will, therefore. be in shape for
/ the Indians week from Saturday.
Rheinchild had his knee slightly wrench
| ed but he will be used Thursday, after
receiving a rest of three days.
! After having been defeated by the Lee
| high eleven the Navy will have to get a
| big move on or else it will lose to another
smaller school before the end of the pres
ent week. The Swarth,nore team will 90
| to Annapolis to meet the sailors. and. If
| the victory of last week over the tniver-
sity of Pennsylvania is any criterion.

! back in 1905 and 1905. when they had al

because of the wonderful prowess they

The Navy, though, has always shown

1t will be remembered that in 1905
| when Swarttmore had a neleven which
I was about the most powerful in its his

| in it's intention to roll up many points or

| differently and when the game was over
| the score stood ; to 4 against the Penn
| made by Swarthmore was the field goa
kicked by O'Brien. who was perhaps one
! of the most accurate drop kickers who
| ever lived.
! 1t might be mentioned in this con.
F., nection that Morris Rath, playing second
| base Tor the Chicago American League
| club now. was the other quarter back on
| the Swarthmore eleven that year. Rath
| was better general. and "A much better
| broken field runner than O'Brien, but the
| latter had the call for the regular place
| because of his wonderful ability to place
| the ball between the bars from almost
, the :5-yard line.
Notwithstanding the fact that Gallaudet
met defeat at the hands Of the Virginia
Military Institute by a decisive score last
| week. II is certain that it has an eleven
which will show well against the others
| in It's class. Ga1audet was pla wing under

could had it been hardened to the game
after having met other aggrega tons of

They have some opinion Of Ed Null
,laney, who is playing guard at George
town. up in the country where he lives,
and not without reason. Mullaney. after
foot ball and base ball teams. went home
last summer and managed an independ-
ent base ball aggregation. 1t was about
the fastest combination In that section
and in a post-season series defeated the
Wheeling Central League nine.

say about Mullaney:

TENDER Is. when he was compelled to
leave in order to resume his law studies
at Georgetown University, at Washing
| ton, d. G.
After the Bellaire games Manager
Anderson Of Wheeling said of Mul!aney:
He is the best looking young catcher
have seen this season. and If he decides
to play professional ball next season,
only hope l will be able to sign him to
a Wheeling contract
Mullaney has wonderful arm, only
allowing five stolen bases in seventeen
games He Is hard heter and handles
his pitchers with rare Judgment. He viii
