the forward pass.
Harry Costello, the halfback Of last
years eleven, made an appearance yes

punts which frequently went more than
sixty yards. Costello looks ready to
get into the game right away and re-

That the Carlisle Indian game on
October 2S will be the objective point
Of the 1912 football campaign for the
team was the rumor on the Hilltop to-
day. although none of the coaches would
vouch for the fact. A glance at the
schedule will show that Manager Loichot
has done we'll. and that the coaches

which Is two weeks ahead of the annual
struggle with the University of Virginia,
70 prepare the team for the big game OF
the season.
The FIRST three games for the Hill
toppers will serve merely to get the
team into playing condition, and moth
ing difficult Is expected from the oppo-
nents. Randolph Macon is expected to
be easy in the first contest. and while
Mt. st. Mary's, with Mike Thompson at
the head. is likely to prove troublesome,
to be a serious stubling-b block.
The manner in which Georgetown is
taken away on its trip South after its
game with Washington and Lee on
October Y. reveals the nicely with which
the schedule was planned. Georgetown
will be far In the South on October L.
a Thursday, and its big game will be
at Georgetown on the Saturday week
following. There will be ten full days
after the Carolina A. and NJ. team Is
met before the Indians are taken on.
During this interim the team can
be rapidly whipped into shape. following
anv possible slump In the Carolina
game. and the veterans and new mem
bers of the team will get ample oppor-
tunitv to arrive in shape for the contest
on October &C. which is Tullv expected
to be the big game of the season here.
On October 10 Carlisle Is likely to run
burgh, which is capable or putting up a
great struggle.
Last year schedule included two un-
usually hard games, one with West
Point and the other with the Indians.
This year the Indian game is arranged.
and West Point is not found on the
schedule. A ten-day period after the
Carolina game is found in which to get
the men into tip-top shape for the Car
lsle team.
Fully prepared and expecting a great
fight from Virginia the schedule is so
arranged to take on an easy game after
the Indians are met. Washington Col
lege is brought here for the date on
November g. before the Virginia game
on November l6. From what can be
Carolina the team will not be as strong
as IN years past. After Brides finished
there Branch BoCock took the team.
