one % the greatest drawbacks with
switch the Mar3la land -tgstes had 20 con-
tend last year was the same as that
with which Georgetown Is faced-not get
ting strong enough opposition really TO
develop and concentrate the play. The
Farmers went along last season winning
every game they played by big scores

teams when they failed u show rs Well

That Georgetown viii lie benefited by
the work Is certain Every big team
IN the country would be mighty glad
20 have a foreign eleven against which
10 practice. especially with that eleven
II little weaker than itself. one great
trouble with the foot bali practice in
the colleges is that the second or scrub

plays and signals Of the varsity. with

rather than IN accordance with good
foot ball. OF course. the biz universe
ties have freshmen teams. which have
no knowledge Of the varsity plays and
ri Snals but Ceora etowu is not blessed
with such ideal conditions.
o;allaudet is scheduled to start prac
AZ. today. IN u communication re-
ceived last week from Manager Pat
terson il was stated the squad would
be called out today, and that pract-
cally all last years men would be
present. The work of the men will be
light at the beginning. though the
SQUAD must be pushed forward at a
much more rapid gait than ordinarily
would be the case in order to have 1t
in shape to go against Washington
and Lee October 4.
II is really unfortunate that Gallau-
Diet will have to play the heaviest
team on it's schedule in the first con-
test Washington and Lee will surely
have a much heavier and more ex-
perienced eleven that the local inst-
tuition, which may result in the latter
having some players put out of the
game for two or three weeks. Gallau-
det has never had many very capable
substitutes and it is hardly likely that |
this season will be an exception. With
out capable substitutes a team is in
bad way when its regulars are not In
shape. in which position Galiaudet may
