to a statement recently made by one
closely connected at the Hilltop. Not
only will the strong teams met this
season be on the list of 1914, but in
place of the less prominent institutions
will appear at least one or two of the
big universities.
Just which teams are intended to
make up the Blue and Gray schedule
in 1915 is hard to foretell. but there
have been rumors that both Cornell
and Harvard would be on it and pos
sibly Notre Dame. OF course, it is i'm
possible to say definitely what names
will be seen in the. list of the teams,
but there is no question that it will be
the most difficult schedule ever at
tempted by Blue and Gray eleven.
Here is what a Georgetown man has
to say relative to the teams to be met:
Il cannot say just what we Will do
relative to the schedule for next year
other than that it is, the present m
tention to have Georgetown repre-
sented on at least two of the big uni
versities' calendars. Georgetown has
too long confined its efforts to elevens
in the south Atlantic division, and it
was not in this division that George
towns reputation was made; nor does
it's future lie in absolute and almost
closed competition with schools below
the MaSOn-DlXOn line.
'The great mass of Georgetown's
! alumni are in the north and west, and
it is in those sections that the de-
mands for games are being heard. The
alumni have always been behind
Georgetown and their appeal will bear
a lot of weight. Then it is worth a
great deal more to the school itself to
play the big northern institutions than
it is to meet those in the south. 1t is
not known as yet just what northern
nj tor will hxa 10 -ad hut
the chances are that the entire list
will be made up from teams represent
ing those two sections, with the pos
sible exception of two. Georgetown
ington, just as it is doing this year,
Though it is doubtful if it will be able
to get one of the big five" universities
to come here yet awhile"
1t is rather interesting to note that
the Naval Academy foot ball team has
played away from home prior to this
year, though many reports had it that
that had ever taken place off the An
napolis field with the exception of the
contests with the Army. John Hadley
Doyle. formerly of Georgetown and
now closely affiliated with the affairs
of the Potomac Boat Club, comes for
ward with the statement that the Navy
team came here in 1888 to meet an
eleven composed of Georgetown and
course, what was meant was that the
Navy had never been off it's home field
under the present foot ball regime, but
1T is interesting to know that the
Sailors did at one time go away from
Annapolis to play, even if it was before
any Of those now playing the game
were born.
And here is a question:: If the Navy
came to Washington in 1855 and could
go to Pennsylvania this season, why
could 1t not be brought here in 1915
for game with Georgetown?
Northwestern University of Evanston.
ILL.,, has been making a poor showing
out of it in the western conference this
season, and here Is one of the reasons
for it. according TO an item culled from
a daily paper printed by the students
of Ohio State University:
Athletic Director Lewis Omer of the
Northwestern University foot ball team
gave the girls of the university credit
at recent rally for Northwesterns s
poor showing in the conference SO far
the girls are inviting foot ball men to
go walking along the lake shore when
they ought to be out at practice"
\ circular announcement concerning
the Pennsylvania relay races for next
spring states there will be two days
given over to the sports this year in
stead of one. as has been the case in
the past. The great number of en-.
trants and the many events crowded
too much into one afternoon last sea-
son. and as several more events are to
be added and a greater number of con-
testants are expected to take part,
much more time will be needed to carry
out the program. The only manner in
which the authorities of the Quaker
institution could meet the case was to
give two afternoons to the event in
stead of one. This will be done.
A penthaion, with events like those in
the Olympic penthalon will be held Fri
day, and Olympic rules will prevail, Two
other Olympic contests have been added
to the prosram-running hop, step and
jump and throwing the ffty-six-pounG
weight for distance. If time permits
there viii be 40O-meter hurdle race,
as held in the Olympics, and already a
new style OF college relay champion
ship has been carded. in which the first
man will run quarter, the next a
half, the next three-quarters and the
fourth mile.
Business and Eastern meet today in
the scholastic series. The result of the
contest will have no bearing on the
championship. 1t is reported that
Business will be considerably weaker
than in either Of its previous appear
ances because of injuries to one or two
of it's star players.
Washington and Jefferson has rather
easy game itself this week, and conse-
quently ought to be in pretty good
shape when it faces Georgetown No
vember 2l. 1t was thought during the
early part of the year that the Penn
sylvanians would not be able to keep
their star players in action after the
grueling list of contests they would
be compelled to play. but it seems that
little trouble has been experienced in
that particular. Washington and JEFF
ferson will likely place its strongest
team on the field at the start, and it
will do SO with every belief that
Georgetown is ready to give it a real
battle. The Blue and Gray agsrega-
tion prevented Pittsburgh from driving
the ball across its goal line by legiti-
mate foot ball, and even the Pittsburgh
papers gave the Hilltoppers the credit
for outplaying that eleven, and when
Washington and jefferson remembers
that it was on the short end of the
score in its battle with Pittsburgh until
late in the second half. when it man
aged to score the touchdown which
gave 1t the victory by three points. 1t
is not likely to be especially overconi-
dent of running up big count on the
local institution.
There is no doubt that Georgetown
has a wonderful chance to make a
great reputation for itself in the con-
test with W. and J.. and it stands to
lose little in any event. The Blue and
Gray is hardly from a general stand
point to be considered In the same
class with Washington and Jefferson
the Pxpnsylvanians to very small
