BROOKLANDERS MAY
MEET GALLAUDET
ON THE GR|D|RON
Manager Hughes, of Ken
dali Green, Offers
Choice of Dates.

Manager Frederick Hughes, of the
Galleudet College football team. is in
receipt of an offer for football date
management, the game to be played at
University Field.
While Gallaudet is willing TO open
football relations with the Brookland-
ers, as the great college game is now
an assured institution at the university,
Hughes believes that, as Gallaudet has
exhausted the allotted number of dates
away from Kendall Green 1t would be
necessary for the first gridiron game of
many years between the two rivals to
take place at Gallaudet Field the COM
ing season, so he offered the Catholic
University manager a choice of several
to consider the offer.
The latest addition made to the Buff
and Blue gridiron schedule is a game
with Mt st. Mary's College for Sep
tember IS, at Emmitsburg, Md. The
Mountaineers are coached by Mike
Thompson, the Georgetown graduate
and among the worlds most famous
football referees. and, for whatever col
lege he Is an athletic director, Gallaudet
wants his college to be on the Kendall
Green schedule, for Thompson is both
personally and officially popular a Gal
laudet College, and his ability to put a
compa ratively unknown college on q
prominent plane in the rCollege ath-
letic world, as in the case of Mt. ST.
Mary's, is a splendid result of his good,
clean coaching.

Hilltop authorities will be unable to

only be accomplished with a small num-
Der in the field. the squad will be cut
materially soon after the first outdoor

Richmond Motorists Suggest
Change in Proposed
Route of Trip.
By HARRY WARD.

Harrington Mills, president of the Au-
tomobile Club of Washington, will call
a meeting of the board of governors some
time this week to discuss plans for the
coming season. The proposed Chesa-
peake reliability tour will receive atten-
ton at this meeting and It is probable
the governors will authorize Capt. Ru-
dolph lose TO get out entry blanks and
make such other plans as may be re-
quired.
Captain Jose yesterday received a
communication from the Automobile
Club of Richmond, stating the club had
taken the proposed tour under consider
alton and that many members thought
favorably of It, The Richmond motor
lists suggested a change in the route and
this will be considered by governors OF
the Washington club at the coming
meeting.
Norfolk motorists are also said to be
greatly interested in the proposed tour,
and If that city is included in the itin-
erary, will be we'll represented in the
entry list. The Automobile Club of
