BOWIE MEETING TO
CLOSE TOMORROW
Public Has Patronized Open
Bookmaking to Satisfaction
of Prince George Officials.

Tomorrow marks the close Of the
meeting at Bowie, which opened October
/, and will have continued ten days
racing in opposition to Laurel.
The public has followed with much
interest the conflict between the two
tracks, as it has been in some measure
an indication Of the relative popularity
Of the two systems Of betting-the
books and the pari-mfutuels machines.
Bowie has been badly handicapped
from the fact that 1t was racing against
an old-established course with plenty of
money behind it. and with its big stake
list Offering superior attractions.
Despite these drawbacks, the new
track has made a most excellent show
ing. and in point of patronage has
clearly beaten out its rival.
The conflict. of course, has been in
furious to both tracks. each of which
has run under a loss. where each would
have made money had the other been
out Of the way.
It Is safe to say that there will be
no more of these conflicts, and that
next season Bowie will receive recogni-
ton from the Jockey Club, and will be
assigned dates which will give 1t
clear field.

BROOKLANDERS FAIL
TO SCORE VICTORY
Second Start of Catholic Univer-
sity Shows Lack of Punch
and Weakness in TackIing.

Catholic University has yet to win a
football game, dropping the second con-
test of the season to the st. Johns Col
lege Of Annapolis eleven, by to due
mainly to the fact that open playing in
the final period found the passes going
awry.
Heise, the visitors quarterback. drop
kicked his team to victory In the third
period of yesterdays contest. Coach
Madden will spend the greater part of
the week in developing an attack for
the necessary punch to make the team
a better scoring machine. The Catholic
University players failed to demonstrate
their ability to gain distances. and
showed weakness in tackling.
Ostergren, Lynch. Dobbins. and Hinch-
cliffe played well for Catholic University.
The team showed marked Improvement
over the performance in the NJ. A. c.
game a week ago. and the necessary at
tention will be given during the week
in order to round out a better eleven.

Captain Whitney was out of the

Dartmouth team, discovered the
weakness Of the Williams line at the
end of the third period and sent Ger

through for substantial gains.
A crumbling defense paved the way
for some exceptional teamwork by

distance only once when DeWindt

Repetition of North Carolina
Score Keeps Players From
Coming to Capital for Game.

Fear Of a defeat like that admins
tered by North Carolina, when sixty-f1ve
points were rolled up against the Vir-
ginia Medicos is today ascribed as the
real cause Of the failure to appear
against the Georgetown team in yester-
days contest.
Manager Cox, Of Georgetown, today
regrets the fact that the Medicos dis
appointed the Hilltop followers in fail
ing to show up for the scheduled con-
test, but those who came for the fray
We're treated to two rare games when
the varsity lined up against a second
team and the reserves battled the Tech
nical High School players in another
game.
Marked improvement was shown in
the attack of the varsity players. Which
holds out the hope that the contest
against Washington and Lee next Sat
urday will be waged in favor Of the
Blue and Gray. Golden. Murray and
Noak, the varsity backfield played with
better success yesterday than before
this season.
On the sidelines was logger" Elcock,
coach of the Washington and Lee
team, and the Generals mentor agreed
that the Hilltoppers had greatly i'm
proved over their previous performances
this season. A Al to 0 victory for Cap
tain Murray's charges showed the
ability of the varsity to score. Golden
