BY II. c. BYRD.
The only foot ball game scheduled to
be played in Washington tomorrow is
the one between. the Catholic Univer-
sity and maryland Agricultural Col
\ lege elevens. Both the other fnstitu-
tions are booked for contests on for
eign fields Georgetown is to go to
Annapolis to play the Naval Academy,
and Gallaudet will be seen in action in
New York against Fordham.
Catholic University is banking on the
best team in it's history, and there is
much reason for its hopes because of
the acquisition of much new material
Several men have entered C. U. this
year who will be of exceptional value
to the eleven, and it will be the heavi-
est combination the .Brooklanders have
ever had. They-and practically every
body else, for that matter-are expect
ing the team to administer a defeat to
the Maryland Aggies, and probably
will be disappointed If they fail.
M. A. G. will send the lightest aggre-
cation that has represented 1t in five
years against the Brooklanders. The
back field is extremely light, the heavi-
est man in it Weighing only 152
pounds, and the lightest 1874 Whether
these backs will be able to accomplish
much against G: US heavy forwards
remains to be seen. The Farmers NAV
make a better showing than is gener-
ally expected, though their task, with
green material. in facing a combination
such as the Brooklanders are said to
have will be a great one, to say the
least.
A victory for Catholic University will
mean much to the school. Foot ball
at the institution and many times it
has taken strenuous efforts on the
part of those Interested in the sport
to keep things going. If this can be
made successful year, and particu-
larly II the opening game can be won,
much will have been done to boost the
game and give it the prominent place
RAPIDLY growing institution such as
G. y. undoubtedly is.
There are those at Georgetown who
expect to defeat the Navy. The Blue
and Gray supporters have every con-
fidence in their team ,and they do not
hold themselves in reserve in their
statements: taen .S CHARLEY Cox. graduate
is the most optimistic of these ir
charge. Here is the substance of his
l opinion:
You know We do not expect any
too strong and the rivalry between the
] two Institutions too great for any
thing of that kind, but do think We
have the best chance in many a year to
finish wfth,-a victory over the Midship-
men: They. wild not outweigh us
much, ii any and about the only place
they are likely to have the advantage
is in their veteran backfield. You
know the Sailors lost lot of their
linemen, but their. backfield is almost
! intact from last year. However, we
ing better work all around now than
week ago. The team showed as good
form as could haye been expected in
the contest, with Eordham. despite the
n mt Tim !,
we had a splendid opportunity in the
last few minutes of play. We may not
defeat the Navy. but l feel sure those
Midshipmen will know they have been
in foot ball game if we do not"
Coach Crafts of the Gallaudet eleven
cannot figure why anybody should think
his team ought to be favored in a game
with Fordham. The Kendall Greeners
probably will hot be much outweighed.
but they will be against an eleven of
is the way Crafts puts it:
my team has no license to beat Ford
ham: That New York bunch has been
playing foot ball a long while. and the
the average. OF course. my boys are
going to put up hard fight but the
only advantage l can see that will be
at the start Is that Fordham will be
very ovefconfident. But as far as Gal
, laudet being considered a probable winner
Is concerned cannot see wherein there
is sufficient reason to lean that way"
Gallaudet will leave here this after
noon at o'clock. and the players will be
entertained by the students Of the New
York School for the Deaf
The only contest scheduled between a
big northern and southern institution
this season is to be played tomorrow

face Yale. The Orange and Blue is said
