-ETOWN WANTS GAME
: Cancellation of Seamen-Gun-
ner's Leaves Blue and Gray
'iithout Opponent in Opener
By BRYAN MORSE.

Capt Harry Costello, of the George
town University football team the
youth who put the feet ana reat in the
defeat of the Virginia team for the
past three years, will arrive in town
tomorrow primed for anything in the
football line that he happens to run
across.
Costello writes from Camp Misha-
waka. Grand Rapids, Minn., that he is
in fine shape. The Blue and Gray lead
er went to the lake region of Mesaba
Iron range with George Green, OF
Cathedral School. and was a councillor
in Green's summer camp. For the en-
tire summer Costello has done nothing
but get into shape for the football sea-
son.
Arriving in Minnesota about the first
of July Costello Immediately got down,
to serious work. Canoe trips and long
walking expeditions have filed in lot
of the time during the summer vacation
and Costello has played baseball and
taken hold Of the track work at the
camp for the past twelve weeks.
The Georgetown captain is in the best
shape of his career and is right now
ready to tackle the Indians. Virginia or
the Navy and should, If it is possible,
be even better than he was last year
at this time. There is considerable
speculation as to whether Costello will
be able to go through another brilliant
year, but the doubling Thomases are
likely to be discountenanced when Cos"
Is seen in action in about a week.

neat compliment as he has ever re-
ceived. I'VE had Costello stopped" said
the Virginia mah, speaking of the last
engagement on the Hilltop. He
couldn't gain around the ends and save
for one run, was checked at all times.
We had his number and he really got
but one chance- When the crucial test
came Costello was there absolutely. He
has been the jinx of the Virginia team
for the past three years and seems to
be unbeatable
Just which team will face Georgetown
In its first game of the season is NOT
known, but Manager Ed Barrett is get
ting in some rapid-fire correspondence
trying to arrange for team for Sap
tember q to take the place of the Sea-
nen-Gunners.
From present indications the vigilants
are going to cut quite swath in foot
team getting an early start this sea son.
Practically all business incident to get
ting line on the team was completed
at q meeting last night which was gen.
erorsly attended. :
Manager Oliveri has ordered all can
didates for the eleven to report TO
Captain Turner for their initial practice.
which will be held at Vigilant Park
Monday evening at 5 o'clock. Although

agement has two or three reputable
