FOR c. US ELEVEN
Blue and Gray in Good Condi-

Game of Year.
NEW OFFENSE DEVELOPED
FOR W. AND J. CONTEST
Hilltoppers Likely to Gain More
Ground Than Is
Expected.
BY n. c. BYRD.

work in preparation for its biggest
game of the year Saturday-that with
Washington and Jefferson. The Blue
and Gray team has put in strenuous
time for the last five days, but it's diff
ficult practice for the entire year is
ended; little will be done other than to
play the two remaining contests, Sat
urday and Thanksgiving day
Whether Georgetown will hold Wash
ington and Jefferson to close score
cannot be foretold, but anyway the
Blue and Gray seems to be convinced 1t
is going to put up the greatest battle
of the year in it's final effort against
big eleven. Washington and Jefferson
comes here, not fiuke organization
that has made wonderful record IN
one or two games by reason of chance
plays, but one that will go down in
foot ball history as the strongest that
has ever represented that college and
one of the most powerful of the year.
Georgetown knows full well that that
is Just the kind of team 1t is scheduled
to play. The Hilltoppers will go into
the game with the realization that they
must put forth titanic efforts to hold
their own.
even terms, Georgetown must show
better form than at any previous time
this season and that is What the ach-
es believe will be the case. 1t is up
to the players on the hilltop now; the
j coaches have done all they can toward
perfecting the work of the team, as
individuals and as whole, and it is
now up to the players to meet the real
test-that of pitting their strength and
knowledge and cunning against an
eleven which scored two touchdowns
on Yale and defeated the Dark Blue.
Just what players Georgetown will
start in the game. especially in the
backfeld, Is not yet known, as no an
nouncement has been made. A pretty
good guess may be made. though, as
to those who will get the first chance
to show their capabilities. Ward and
Gormley will certainly be in at the
tackle positions, with Fitzgerald and
Barron playing the guards places be-
side them Petritz is a sure starter at
center, while Campbell will propab bly,
be at right end and Cusack at left.
Cusack has been under the weather
with bad leg for some time, but has
rounded into such shape that he can
now play a high-class article of foot
ball And right in this connection it
may as we'll be said that Cusack is
about as good an end as Georgetown
has had in a long while, and certainly
Is the pick of those on the hilltop now.
Georgetown's backf1eld presents a
problem that probably will be difficult
for even the coaches to solve, notwith-

Resourcefulness may count for much
next season so far as the Athletics and
Nationals are concerned. Connie Mack
has ridded himself of three of his vet
eran pitchers and expects to make up
for their absence by developing his
youngsters.
Griffith may be in u similar position
should Johnson jump to the Federals.
for it would leave him only set Of
young pitchers, whose future remains
to be decided.
Neither team is apt to have yeter;'1i
pitcher next season. None of Mack :
twirlers has been with him more THAI
about two years and that would be
about the case with Grif1ith's staff j.
Johnson should decide not to come
here.
Mack contends that the going ..
Bender and Plank will force him to
their development will be more rapid.
That, too, is true of Griff1th's staff o.
youngsters. With Johnson no longer
on the team the young fellows would
have to assume more responsibility and
if they are of the right stuff they are
sure to come to the front rapidly.
Hughey Jennings is not overlooking
any chance to pick up young players

number already and the other day add

President Ed Barrow of the Interna-
tional League is among those who
seem to be pleased with the calling off
of the negotiations for the sale of the
Cubs to Weeghman. Here is what Bar
row says in the New York Sun of this
morning:
From the very first it seemed to me
rather bad policy to treat with Weegh-
man, and I am glad that he is not to be
considered further. OF course. it was
a National League affair and might
have Strengthened out a complication
in Chicago. 1t seems to prove that the
Federal Leagues talk of continuing
the war is mostly bluff and bluster
Weeghman did not exercise his option
on the Cub stock because he could not
command the necessary capital. He is
in the same position as many of his
confederates.
Peace will come in base ball more
quickly than most people imagine. but
not through compromise. There is alb
solutely no chance of the independents
either being recognized as of major
rating or of amalgamating with my
circuit"
That Barrow is planning for vigorous
action with his circuit in the 1915 field
is shown by his determination to trans
fer the Jersey City club to Brooklyn
next season. Whether or not William
S. Devery disposes of his stock in that
club. 1t Is likely that Tom Fogarty's

the Dodgers.

Touch on the Bears.

Some time ago Walter Shaw, known
as one Of Gardeners most persistent
wags, wrote letter to the New York
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals. It was deplorable, he said,
the way the government men in charge
of the Yellowstone park treated the
wild animals. Their cruelty was aoso-
luteiy barbaric. Just to cite one in
stance, he said, these scoundrels did
not give the poor bears anything to
eat during the entire winter, when the
whole park is blanketed with snow.
The society Immediately started an
investigation, beginning at the Office
of the secretary Of the interior. Such
cruelty must be stopped. It>2ressed its
investigation until some friendly nat
uralist told them that bears hibernate
all winter.
