1t is more than probable that the

galore and each OF the eight council
members is said to have a favorite.

more enthusiastic over their man than

ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN.
Uhlan and Lewis Forest Trot to a
Pole and Go Mile in 2.03 IA.

LEXINGTON, KY. October 12.-Another
worlds record was broken at the trotting
meeting here yesterday. when Uhlan
0.,S) and Lewis Forest t206i4). owned by
G. X G. Billings, were sent out to lower
the record for pair of trOtters to
pole. The original record stood at 2.0I4
until this pair of famous trotters made
the mile in 2.O3A, thus clipping off AZ
seconds.
The horses were sent away on the sec
Ond scoring, and il was evident almost
from the first quarter that the record
would be shattered. Not a break was
made during the trial. both horses work
ing like machines. They We're given a big
ovation. after the announcement was
made that a record had been broken.
The racing card was featured by the
pacing division of the Kentucky Futurity
for three-year-old PAGERS, with a valua-
four heats by Anna Axme. by Askmenot.
This game little filly went to the post
heavily backed favorite. but put her
hackers on the uneasy list when she
broke soon after the start in the first
heath and finished fourth. However. she
came back strong and captured the next
three heats in easy style.
The first heat went to Ed LOcanda. but
this took all the go out of him and the
best he could do was to finish third in
the succeeding heats and land second
money.
The 215 class trot brought out large
field. but was nothing short of walk
over for Miss Davis. She won in three
heats. each in 2.1OA.
The closing event of the day was post
poned after the third heat because of
darkness. After this heat Dr. Mack stood
with the first heat to his credit, while
the second and third were won by Jack
London.
During the afternoon the seasons rec
ord of 2.06la for a four-yeN-old trotting
mare, held by Margaret Parrish was
lowered a quarter of d second by this
mare. Hester C., yearling fiIly by Silent
Brook, also made a new world mark of
221&4 for a yearling filly.

DRISCOLL IS WINNER.
Defeats Chesley for Y. M. G.. A. Ten.
mis- Championship.

The singles of the annual fall tourna-
ment of the Y. NJ. G.. A closed yesterday
in an exciting contest, F. B. Driscoll de-
feating A. M. Chesley in the final round.
The two contestants were very evenly
matched, and worked hard at all times.
DriscOll weakened perceptibly at the be-
ginning of the fourth session, but with
the score 50 against him, he made a
final rally and won five straight games,
pulling out the set at 10, and winning
the match. He will now meet Charles I.
Chapman, the present champion OF the
Y. NJ c. A., who was runner-up in the
district tournament this year, having
been defeated by Gordon in the finals.
The tournament has been a very sue
cessful one. and disclosed the fact that
a large number of the members are de-
velopine into real tennis players.

BY n. c. BYRD.

Washington and Lee figures that
Georgetown will be Overconfldent In
the game today in which the two uni
versities meet. The. statement was made
last night, by one who comes from the
Nirsfnians camp. To the effect that
the hopes for victory on the part or
Washington and dee adherents Jay
greatly In that factor. 1t was the given
opinion that Georgetown will not have
the easy time it expects and that 1t is
certain to lie caught off its guard to
a degree
To judge by the talk of the majority
of those who are here with the Wash
ington and Lee eleven. Georgetown is
due for a surprise. II is claimed that
the Lexington eleven is heavier than in
years and is composed of men of such
caliber that the Blue and Gray will be
extended to win. In fact, one en-
thusiastic adherent of the White and
Blue went so far as to say that there
was not much doubt in his mind about
Washington and Lee winning
of course. ii is a little arfetched to
say that Washington and Lee will win.
but back of all the talk there must be
enough strength in the eleven to guar
antee its making whole lot better
showing than it has done here since
ii met Georgetown ana defeated IL III
1908.
1t is hardly likely that Washington
and Lee will win. hut it is probable
that il will show better form than has
been evidenced by Il Washington and
Lee eleven in quite while. 1t appears,
from general report. that the eleven
is stronger offensive and defensive
combination than in years
Georgetown. of course, has lot more
experienced material with which to work
than has the Lexington school. but there
is not much likelihood that il will show
comparative superiority. There is no
question though, about the fact that il
ought to win.
Georgetown is the only local institution
which plays at home today All the 9th
ers viii ltake part in contests, but they
will be on foreign fields. Catholic Uni
versity is in Baltimore to meet the Rock
Hill College eleven; the Maryland AggieS
are playing at Homewood Field in Balt

laudet is al Lexington. Va, to go against
the Virginia Military Institute
All the games should prove difficult
ones for the local teams. Nj. y. {. Is
meeting a team which last week held the
Navy to single touchdown: Gallaudet is
playing against an eleven which is genes'-
ally conceded first place among the sec
ondary teams. and Catholic University is
not likely to have any sinecure in the
game with Rock Hill. In fact, the Eli
colt City lads are apt to shove the
Brooklanders to the limit to win if they
win at all
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute, un
der Branch Bocock, will get its first real
trial of the season today when ii meets
the Princeton eleven. 1t will he real
trial. too. and if good showing is made
then it is assured that thte Polys will be
right up with the best of them at the
end of the season when a final ranking
is made.
Princeton will prove a very difficult
team for Bocock's bunch to make a cred
liable showing against. in view of the big
scores it had been running up against
the smaller institutions.
Some of the big universities are apt to be
harder pressed today than in any of the
games so far. Yale. Harvard and Prince
ton should win rather easily, but Penn
sylvania is not apt to have such an easy
Swarthmore ran up against the Lafayette
eleven last week.
With the exception of Pennsylvania. it
is probable that the other larger schools
will get away with their games rather
easily. always excepting. of course. Cor
nell. there being little on which to figure
what it will or will not accomplish.
The University of Virginia is still meet
ing the smaller schools. 1t is scheduled
to play the Hampden-Sidney team this
afternoon. The Charlottesville eleven Will
probably win by five or six touchdowns,
If not more.
Gallaudet will meet the Virginia Mill
tary Institute today. and it will be lucky
if il gets through the game without nav
ing some of its men injured. 1t will prob
ably be against an eleven which will av-
erage eight or ten pounds to the man
more than 1t, and whenever that happens
the result is very apt to be that several
of the men on the light squad will be out
for quite little while with bad ankles
or knees.

nearest contender, and he was two

MULLIGAN TO COACH.
Former G. U. Track Star May Tutor
SQUAD This Winter.

Rumor has it that Georgetown will have
as coach Of the track team Jimmie Null
ligan. who once ran on the Blue and
Gray relay team.
Mulligan has not been. appointed to this
position as yet, but it was learned last
evening that his name was being
considered by the authorities on the hill
top. and that he had a good chance of
landing the job on account of his for
mer connection with track teams at the
hilltop.
Other men who are mentioned for the
Job are Bill Foley and Bradley Gish.
Both of these men have proved success
