SECOND PARADE IS
SEEN BY BIG CROWD
Cheers and Confetti Greet Floats
and Actors in Tour
OF Town.

The Mystic Tribe of Capahas made
their farewell 1915 pilgrimage through
the city last night while crowd e5-
timatcd at 14,G00 lined the streets and
chccred the procession. The specta-
tors outnumbcred the army that wit
messed the parade Wednesday evening
and they gave the actors a more en-
thusiastic welcome.
4 roar Of cheers marked the prog
ross OF the floats around the city. At
every corner stood Il fleet Of automo-
biles ard the occupants gave the Mys-
tic actors hearty greeting
In Haarig and on North Broadway
the crowds were larger than on the
first appearance Of the floats. At
some points the people were unable
to find room on the sidewalks and
were compelled to stand in the gut
tCrs.
Confetti made its appearance last
night with small horns, giving the per
Torrance L somewhat metropolitan
t;ngc.
Several changes were made on the
floats, NEST Of them due to slight
colds contracted by the absent per
formers on Wednesday evening. The
tight-clad men shivered around the
city last night, although it was some
what warmcr than on Wednesday
evening.
Sam Sherman surrendered his post
as shief Of the harem to Ed Mcssingill
last night. Mr.. Sherman thought he
could find more enjoyment i'll watch
ing the spectacle than by riding 2
float. The Harcm float was one Of the
Invest Of aIl last night. Every ''inmatc"
got into the spirit of the celebration
and danced the buck and wing, the

BY n. G. BYRD.

With one or two exceptions. every
big foot ball team in the middle west
and east will engage in games tomor-
row. For the first time several of the
universities in the Western Conference
and the Army and Navy are to meet
elevens in regular contests. Also there
will be the first intersectional battle.
The most important game for Wash
ingtonians is that between Georgetown
and the Navy. The Blue and Gray will
go to Annapolis with high hopes for
victory, and there is no denying that
it has better prospects of beating the
Midshipmen than in years. The local
eleven is pretty sure to be as heavy
as the Sailors, and there is every rea-
son to believe that hard, evenly
fought game will result: Georgetown
has the advantage of already having
been through grueling contest, Its
game with Princeton being of inesti-
mable worth in conditioning the men
individually and as team.
There may be one or two changes in
the line-up. but practically the same
eleven that faced Princeton will go
against the Midshipmen. There is not
likely. to be any difference, except in
the ends and center. The backf1eld,
composed of Wall, Gilroy, Dempsey and
Maloney. is pretty certain to remain in
in place of Mccarthy. and Cusack, Cos
tello. Cronin, Corcoran or Tracy may
get the end positions.
The Maryland Aggies play their first
college game. one being booked with
Haverford. The Farmers have never
played Haverford, the contest being
the first in which they have ever met
an institution in that section of rec
ognized caliber. Haverford has usually
had teams much more capable than
| those that have represented NJ. A. c..
| but the latter is expecting to put up a
| creditable exhibition. with the odds
| not much against them.
Virginia Meets Yale.
| A great deal of interest in this sec
ton will be centered in the contest in
which Virginia meets Yale. The Orange
and Blue met the Dark Blue last year
and lost by to 81. making a very
creditable showing. This time the Vir-
| ginians realize they are up against a
stronger proposition, but hope to dc
| just as well. Down at Charlottesville
no secret is made of the fact that the
material is about the best that has trod
| Lambeth Field. and it is confidently ex-
pected that one of the most powerful
| combinations in the history of the
| institution will be developed.
| That Princeton will meet an opponent
capable of giving it hard game is
