me schedule as arranged for next fall
Is one that appears very we'll balanced.
me games appear to be of the right
caliber from the beginning to the end
OF the schedule. The contests that may
be termed practice affairs are with
schools that will likely not prove so very
institutions of recognized standing.
The schedule. as announced by Man
ager Barrett follows:
September 27-Seaman Gunners at Georgetown.
october 4-Randoph- Macon at Georgetown.
October 11-Navy at Annapolis.
October 1S-Medical College of Virginia at

November carlisle at Georgetown.
November s-West Virginia Wesleyan at
November l5-yirginia at Georgetown
November 27-Holy Cross at Georgetown
The bringing of Holy Cross to Wash
ington for the Thanksgiving day game
next fall Is more or less of an expert
ment. The Hilltoppers were unable to
secure any of the other colleges In the
middle Atlantic section that looked as
though they would prove good induce
ment to the crowds and the southern
schools have proved failure as far as
their drawing capacity Is concerned. The
result was that the Blue and Gray man.
agement was compelled to look further
for an attraction on what is really the
big day OF the year here. Holy Cross
being the other big Catholic school in the
east to be represented by a strong
eleven. 1t was decided that it would prove
good drawing card. Negotiations were
taken up and. matters arranged so that
the New England school will appear
here.
The appearance of Holy Cross here
next fall will be the first that has been
made here by New England college in
a long while. If the financial results
is every chance that Holy Cross will be
brought down for an annual game.
There is more than a. chance that
Georgetown will strike the Navy next
year at time when it will be able
to give the Sailors more than they
bargained for. The Blue and Gray
