raised. Scalps from Virginia, v. p. /,

dangle from Georgetown's belt, every vic
tim an easy one, with the lone excep-
ton Of Virginia.
For an An-South Atlantic eleven, the
task this season is unusually hard, for
the reason that the teams in this sec
ton present so many hrst-class men for
every position.
Individually Georgetown was much
stronger than last fall. but the team as q
whole was weaker. Messrs Gargan and
Dennis, the Hilltop coaches, worked hard
and faithfully, but were unable to pro-
duce such a smashing, smooth running
machine as the eleven coached by Fred
Nelson in 1911
In spite of this the players knew foot
ball from the ground up. and were able
to win every game on their schedule Wi
the exception of the Indian contest. and
after all results are what count.
Ends and half backs in this section
were plentiful and of high class. In
fact. each South Atlantic eleven pos
sessed one or more backs who stood out
prominently in nearly every game.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. SO.-The Ath-

the Cuban players that they are worlds
champions at baseball. are now on their
journey home. They finished up their
schedule of games on the island last
Thursday. During the trip to Havana
they won ten games and lost two, a
record such as no team from this country
has ever been able to accomplish.
The players started on their return trip
yesterday morning. They left Havana by
boat and landed in knights Key, Fla,
last night. They at once took the train
for this city, and are due to arrive here
some time tomorrow.
Jack Coombs and his wife Will not re-
