Cabin John Bridge. Nd, Oct. "a
Georgetown University's football squad
arrived here this afternoon, numbering
twenty-five men, and took up its quarters
at the tavern, where special preparations
had been made for the Blue and Gray
warriors. The men were all in high
spirits and seemed to be exceptionally
Pleased with their new location. The
Georgetown team will be here until Sat
urday morning and will not be allowed
to leave the camp until II returns for
tie game Saturday afternoon.
4 short time after the men arrived they
were ordered to don their moleskins by
the Blue and Gray coaches and get out
for signal drill. The signal drill did
Lot take up more than half an hour. dur
ing which time the work Of Capt. He
gartys men was fast and run on In fine
shape. After the signal drill was over
the players donned their camp clothes
and went for a seven-mile walk with the
coaches in the lead setting the pace for
their men. After their return from the
walking trip the wearers Of the Blue
and Gray. although tired from their long
jaunt or foot, did justice to the country
training meal that was placed before
them.
Early to bed and early to RISE" is
the motto of the Blue and Gray coaches
concerning their charges while at the
training camp up in Maryland Half-past
seven sees every man on the squad out
of bed and at the breakfast table. while
the men turn into their beds shortly
after nine at night.
The coaches plan to get all their work
in with the men between breakfast and
dinner, and give the men their evenings
free to amuse themselvs around the
camp. CampazZi at the piano. surround
ed by a dozen or SO husky voices, gener-
ally furnishes amusement enough, and
as a matter of fact, affords better
amusement than many vaudeville shows.
Practical jokes on ''Husk" Ritch and
''Botchie' Barron complete the amuse-
ment Of the camp.
Jim Fury, who will be used in the line
up against the Indians in Saturdays
game, did not go out with the team yes
terday noon. but will leave here to-day
for the Georgetown camp in the woods,
where he will remain until the men re-
turn tomorrow.
Rev. Francis Tondorf, S. J., of the
Georgetown University observation sta
ton. gave out report last evening
that the weather would be fair and
cooler for the game Saturday. Ideal
football weather is in order for the game
with Carlisle tomorrow afternoon, ac-
cording to Rev. Mr.. Tondorf, and as
the reverend observer seldom misses
on the weather forecast there seems to
be nothing to prevent the game to-mor-
row from being absolutely the largest
football battle that has ever been held
in this section of the South.
4 few days ago there was q report cir
Oufated that Capt. Jim Thorpe. captain
Of the Carlisle Indian eleven. would not
lie in the lineup against the Georgetown
University eleven tomorrow afternoon.
This was found to be absolutely false,
and without foundation. as Glen Warner
himself. in a message to Manager Loichot
last evening, stated definitely that the
Carlisle captain will be in the game to-
morrow afternoon The men from Car
Isle will take absolutely no chances
against the local eleven, as they fully
realize that the Blue and Gray SQUAD
will be very formidable eleven to de-
feat.
The Carlisle Indian team will arrive in
town this evening in time for dinner
Glen Warner will have over twenty five
men in his squad, the best warriors that
the Indian school can produce.
