C. j. FOOT BALL LIST
IS NEARLY COMPLETED
West Point, A. and N. and
Carlisle Dates Are Prac-
ticaIIy Certain.

The Georgetown foot ball team will
again journey south next fall, and will
play the Agricultural and Mechanical
College Of Raleigh, n. c., Thursday aft
ernoon, October o.
This game will take place during the
big state fair, which is held in Raleigh.
A big crowd will surely be on hand for
this game, as was the case last fall.
The Blue and Gray eleven last year
gave A. and M. terrible beating, win
ming by a score of 4s to O. This was the
first time that the southern institution
lost game on its own field in eight
years. AS a result Of this terrible de-
writing Manager Barrett for a game on
his 1913 schedule. After the trip south
last fall, it was practically decided upon
by the hilltop management that they
would not go down to Raleigh again, be-
cause of not having the proper conven-
fences. Last fall the foot ball team did
not get a good nights rest. It was
forced to ride all the way to Raleigh in
sleeping car the night before the big
contest. This. of course. did not. by any
means. place the players in good condi-
ton. but at that they played one Of the
best games of the year against A. and NJ.
Another date that has been practically
decided upon is the one with Carlisle.
Manager Barrett has been doing every
thing in his power to get Carlisle here
for Thanksgiving day game. Warner
of the Indians refuses to consider such
a thing. and has asked the Georgetown
management to hold November 1 as the
day for the annual contest. This will be
one week later than last years date The
Indians played here October %. OF course,
this will be an advantage to the local
team. as the men will be in better shape
after getting in month of good train
ing.
Manager Barrett received a telegram
from the West Point management asking
If Georgetown would be willing to meet
the Army November 1. OF course Bar
rett had to send word back that Novem-
Der had been already taken. He asked
for another date. and expects to play
West Point next fall
Negotiations are already going on with
Holy Cross for a game in the north.
Holy Cross Is willing to meet the Blue
and Gray team November or November
%. 1t is out Of the question to think Of
playing Holy Cross the Saturday pre-
viOus to the Virginia. game, SO that the
22d OF November is being carefully con-
sidered by the Georgetown manager. The
tnducement offered by the Holy Cross
is SO good that Manager Barrett
stated that he thought that these two
teams would surely meet in the fall.
For the Thanksgiving day game here
Bucknell is the latest team to try for
this date. The Georgetown manager has
written Virginia Polytechnic for this date,
but has heard nothing from them. He
also stated that negotiations with the
Vanderbilt manager for Thanksgiving day
had been closed. Vanderbilt will play
IN, Nashville this date Mar.
ager Barrett stated that he would like to
have his team meet v. p. I. Thanksgiving
day, and that he intended to do all in
his power to bring about this meeting
OF course, il v. p. 1. will not accept this
date, Bucknell will be played. Buck
nell usually produces good team, and
IL such a contest Is to be booked It
should prove interesting.
