Georgetown is making a strong
effort to obtain a game with the
winning Pittsburgh football eleven
for next season. Graduate Manager
Charles r. Cox will go to the Smoky
City next Monday for conference
with Graduate Manager Davis and
Coach Glenn Warner Of Pittsburgh
University, and he hopes to obtain
Penn States date, Thanksgiving
Day.
Communications have also been
sent to Brown University, at Provi-
dence, R. l., relative to having the
Brunonians battle the Hilltoppers on
turkey day. Carlisle has usually
had this date, but the Indians may
not play such a strong team as
Brown in 1916, according to the
latest plans at the Government
school. The Brown authorities, how
ever, have yet to be informed by
Carlisle that the date Is open.
1t is possible that only one Southern
eleven will be booked by Georgetown
for next season. The North Carolina
AEgies have become strong rivals Of the
Blue and Gray. and may have the only
date given q team in this section WASH
