Historic old Georgetown Field. tn

Historic old Georgetown Field. the
scene of numerous hard-fought battles
between those ancient rivals Georgetown
and Virginia, will once more stage con-
test between these worthy foes this aft
ernoon in a game that will decide the
Southern championship. Shorty" Hughes,
who will officiate. will call the game at
$3.50 o'clock.
A Virginia team has not made it's ap-
pearance on the Hilltop field since that
memorable football game between these
institutions last fall. Coming to this city
apparently defeated before they came on
the field. the Orange and Blue surprised
their followers and all but defeated their
rivals
While the Southerners do not come to
us today in the same condition, yet fol-
lowers of the two schools can expect
just such rivalry as cropped out during
the football game to appear during the
battle this afternoon. BY reason of the
overwhelming defeat that the Blue and
Gray sustained at the hands Of the Vir-
ginians a few weeks ago, the Georgetown
aggregation will be out for revenge, and
a typical Virginia battle is
sure to be witnessed.
virginia Has Good Record.
As far as records go. Virginia has made
a much better showing this year than
has Georgetown. The Charlottesville
boys, working under ideal conditions such
as professional coach, Jack Ryan, one
of the best diamonds in the country, and
the undivided support of the student
body. has accomplished more than a team
of less ability would under other condi-
tions.
Georgetown started the season with the
best prospects in years, but there has
been a cog missing somewhere, and the
team has not made the showing that it
was expected to make. There is posi-
bility. though, that under the conditions
that will prevail this afternoon the team
will Guido itself and win.
Virginia will present a team that can
both steal bases and hit the ball. Capt.
Ed. Finlay, the popular Virginia cap
tain, has been switched to the initial
sack from the catcher's position, and Is
said to be star there. Doug Neff,
whom Clark Griffith is said to have APP
preached with contract, will be seen
in short. This youngster has an iron
arm and covers acres of ground. In
him one of the best college shortstops
in the country will be seen.
Grant to Pitch.
"Uly" Grant. the Southerners' giant
southpaw, probably will start the game.

veteran trainer, will accompany the boys
on the trip.
Coach Harley has been grooming Chris.
Feinle for tine battle and. IL the vet
eran is right, the Orange and Blue will
be compelled to travel fast to conquer.
The Hilltoppers arrived home yester-
day afternoon from their Northern trip,
losing one game and winning one. The
Yale game, which was won by the Old
Eli aggregation. 8 to 0, was a great con-
test, and only baseball luck turned the
tide.
