BY n. C.. BYRD.

Each of the foot ball teams here will
engage in hard struggles saturday.
Georgetown meets the strongest OPP
ponent. being scheduled to face the
Army at West Point; Catholic Univar-
sity is to try conclusions with Villa
nova, which has been taking the meas
ure of all the secondary colleges in
its section: Gallaudet will have the
Carlisle Indian Reserves to go against
at Kendall Green and the Maryland
Aggies are to meet the Pennsylvania
Military College at College PARK.
Georgetown is conceded by those ia
miliar with the strength of both eLav-
ems to have an even chance to defeat
the Army. The Soldiers are strong, I'M
doubtedly. but so are the Hilltoppers.
Georgetown has the best foot ball
squad that has ever represented it and
would make a splendid showing against
any university team. Whether or not
the Blue and Gray will win from the
West Pointers cannot he foratold. but
it is certain that the Army will know
it has been through a foot ball game
If it gets away with the long end of
the count.
II looks as if Dewhurst will be at
fuilback for the Blue and Gray
against the Soldiers. provided he can
familarize himself with the signals
and plays sufficiently by that time.
Dewhurst had experience in the back
field at Mercersburg and is expected to
develop into something of a star.
Dempsey. who has been holding down
the position regularly, is not in very
good condition, still being troubled by
his lame knee.
Georgetown will leave here at noon
tomorrow. Practically the same squad
which made the trip to Princeton will
be taken. The party will be in charge
of Charley Cox, graduate manager, and
with it will be Manager Butler, Physi-
cal Director John O'Reilly and Coach
Exendine.

HARVARD TEAM BACKWARD.
Scrubs Drive Varsity Almost to Its
Own Goal Line.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. October 21.-Sol-
diers' Field was soft and slippery yes
terday. but this did not prevent the
Harvard coaches from sending the first
team out for a driving scrimmage
against the scrubs. The session was
not as long as had been planned, but
was long enough to convince Percy
Haughton and his assistants that this
years team Is still a great distance be-
hind last years team In its midseason
stride. Try as they would, the varsity
men could not score against the scrubs.
who, in turn, and with the Cornell at
tack. made some big gains through the
regulars line and drove them almost
down to their own goal
The varsity was held at the black
boards longer than usual, and then
went out to the base ball cage for sig
nal drill and defensive instruction. The
limits of the cage would permit little
hard foot ball, and this was reserved
until the elevens came out onto the
stadium field. In the cage Enwright

however, Is ready to play, and will get
into the game. Bigelow's work at

figures on using him providing Yale
and Princeton make no objection, and
neither Is expected to protest. Wal
lace's return to the lineup may mean
placing Taylor at guard. but no shift
is likely until after Harvard meets Cor
nell. Harte was back at end, and Will
cox directed the play as quarterback.
Watson is still under the weather, and
Wilcox has a big lead over the field of
quarterbacks. who are working for a
regular place on the team.

they will do no harm. and I should not
have thought of asking, except for the
opinion expressed by some one that
they would be damaging to the gun and
maybe dangerous by reason of corro-
sion, etc.
Ans Black powder shotgun shells or
black powder rifle ammunition will
keep indefinitely without any change.
There is no reason why the shells you
have, even II they are twelve years
old, should not give good results. H.
Illustrating this point: When the bat
tleship Maine was sunk in Havana har-
Dor. there was a quantity OF 1910 gov
eminent cartridges on board. which
were used in the navy at that time
ward a number of these cartridges
were found which when dried. gave
just as good results as new cartridges,
SO I think you are safe Il go ahead
with your ammunition.

P. F.:
!. Meeting an old gunner, we were
talking about the best kind of powder
to use in 12-gauge gun, that is, to
prevent pitting OF the barrels He
claims that smokeless powder contains
picric acid" and does great harm to
barrels. Which is better, black pow
der or smokeless. as far as keeping the
barrel in condition goes?
Ans If shotgun becomes pitted
when modern smokeless powder, fac
tory loaded shot shells or factory load
ed black powder shells are used, there
is only one answer and that is, tho
hunter is careless in his cleaning None
of the reputable manufacturers load
powder ntaining picric acid, shotgun
smokeless powder being made from
nitrocellulose or nitroglycerin or a
coIt Animation of the two. They do not
ha I'm the barrel if the barrel is prop

powder than with smokeless powder,

Gallaudet Plays Indian Reserves.

Gallaudet's game with the Carlisle
Indian Reserves should be interesting,
inasmuch as the play of the Indian
squad generally is well worth watch
ing. The Kendall Green eleven is bank
ing on getting away with the contest,
though it Is felt that the task Will
not be other than difficult.
Gallaudet has lost both the games 1t
has played. but the morale OF the
team is good. Every player Is con-
WINGED that the remainder of the sea-
son is going to be successful, and the
squad is working hard to bring that
end about. Gallaudet has some very
capable players, but, as has been said
before, poor headwork on the part or
the quarterbacks has been more or less
responsible for the undoing of the
team several times in the two games 1t
has played.
The Maryland Aggies will be opposed
by the team coached by Bill Hollen-
bach, former Penn State instructor
and University of Pennsylvania player.
Not much of the power of the Pennsyl-
vania eleven is known, though IT Is
said to be very heavy. The Farmers
have not worked up to the game es-
pecially and probably will not have
their entire strength on the field at the
start. The AgEies are expecting A close,
hard struggle with the odds about even.
They expect to be outweighed. but that
counts for little with them, as that is
rather the usual in their contests.

Cool School Game Is Expected.

Two of the best scholastic elevens
that have been developed in Washing
ton in years will face tomorrow when
Tech and Business meet on Georgetown
Field. The Stenographers have the best
eleven that has ever worn their colors,
and the members of that eleven realize
the nature of their accomplishment If
they can defeat Tech--it will be the
first victory Business has ever won
over the Manual Trainers.
Tech, too, has strong combination.
Wayne Hart, who is coaching the
Manual Trainers, stated yesterday that
he thought his eleven is the best Tech
has turned out since 1907. That should
be sufficient to guarantee the power of
the Manual Trainers. because it is well
known that they have turned out some
pretty strong combinations. The work
of both elevens should be exceptional
for local high schools and the game
ought to be the most brilliantly played
of the year. 1t will be no surprise if to-
morrow'S victor is the high school
champion at the end of the season, and
as a matter of fact that result will be
more or less looked for.

Some good marks have been register
ed in several of the matches in the Ma
sonic League this season. In fact, the
records for the year compare very ia
vorably with the majority of the high
class circuits. Individuals and teams
have set figures above the ordinary.
Lord of the Washington Centennial
Lodge has obtained the highest game
registered by the players, having
knocked down 142 pins in one of his
contests. Milt Baer of the George c.
Whiting Lodge and Wolfe of King
Solomon Lodge are tied for second hon
ors in this department with counts of
1871. Lord, besides holding the record
for high game, has scored the best set
of any of the players. $50. Wolfe has
the second high set, 329.
Centennial Lodge Has Honor.
The Washington Centennial Lodge has
exceeded the score of any other quint
for one game, having 544 pins to it's
credit. Stansbury Lodge Is runner-up
with. SIS. The George c. Whiting
Lodge gets the high team set with 1911
and the Stansbury next with 1909.
The Masonic League started the sea-
son with eighteen teams, but the cir
cult has been made larger by the addi-
ton of two clubs. the Mount Pleasant
and Anacostia organizations having en-
tered quints.

I would certainly recommend a IL

C. q. Meets Villanova.

Catholic University is to go against
. strong team. Villanova being much
more capable than at any time within
the past two or three years, to Judge
by the results of it's contests. Villa
nova has been defeating the secondary
teams in Pennsylvania with great reg
ularity- and is said to be heavy and
fast. Also ~Villanova has won a couple
of games by the margin of a field goal,
showing that it has another method of
scoring within its offensive power.
Catholic University may have to
play the game without its two regular
tackles and center. If such happens
to be the case 1t will be placed at a
great disadvantage. because those
three men are the backbone of the
teams defense. Take the tackles out of
team and il means that the defense
is lessened by 20 per cent, unless there
are just as capable men to take their
places. Murphy, the regular center, is
d great defensive factor, too, and is
sure to be missed. Killion and Kerr
are the bigget men on the team, and
against such a slashing attack as the
Pennsylvanians are likely to put up
