MRS.. GAIT CHOOSES
ROCHESTER PASTOR
Son Of Rector NJ Her GirIhOOd
Is Expected to Officiatc at
Wilson Wedding.
PLANS ARE KEPT SECRET

WARRINGTON. Dec. i5.-with Presi.
dent Wilson'S marriage TO Mrs. Norman
Gait only three days on. the plans for
the ceremony are still shrouded in
secrecy. No announcement has been
made as to the clergyman who will per-
form the ceremony and even the hour AZ
which the wedding will be held has been
guarded closely by the President and
his fiancee.
In fact. all that is known officially OF
the wedding plans, was given out about
ten days z in a statement from the
White House. merely announcing that
the ceremony would take place on Satur-
day at the home of Mrs. Gait and that
It would be witnessed by the Prcsident's
DAUGHTERS. his sister and brother and
BY the near relatives OF Mrs. Calf. This
was supplemented by the statement that
the President would not have "A best man.
Further than this the White House has
refused TO comment on any plans for
the wedding or honeymoon. The Presi-
dent In said to be determined that the
wedding shall be of a strictly private
character and In doing everything pos
sible to bring this about.
The wedding guests have already be-
gun to gather in Washington. especially
the relatives of Mrs. Gait.

While no authoritative statement has
been made in regard TO the officiating
clergyman. friends OF Mrs. Gait said to-
day that she had selected the Rev. W. A.

Washington and that her old as wei.

Apparently Mrs. Gait has tactfu'iv set

Many gifts ave been received both at
the White House and at Mrs. Cats
home, but few OF these are OF an official
character. The President made II known
hat he would he happier IL no gifts
were presented on the occasion OF his
wedding. and for the most part the dip

For this reason II Is expected that

much less impressive than those which
were seen at the White House when the

Mccoy-SuIIivan Fight to

Manager Jimmy La Fontaine. Of the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club, has
postponed the fight between Al Mccoy.
of Brooklyn, and Knockout Sullivan. of
Shenandoah, which was scheduled to be
held on Monday night. Sullivan asked
for one more day in which to get him
self into condition and with the consent
of Mccoy was granted the same and
the battle will be held at the Ardmore
Club on Tuesday night.
In booking the McCoy-Sullivan match
Manager La Fontaine is furnishing the
local fighting public who petronize the
battles at the Maryland arena with the
best middle-weight battle among the
second raters In the East. as both boys
have fought their way within striking
distance Of the near champion.
The Brooklyn lad has rocketed to the
top OF the middle-weight circle in the
last two years defeating all the good
men that have faced him In meeting
Sullivan he faces a man that has come
to the front at q rapid stride. He held

but instead of doing much blocking

good protection.
Mccoy and Sullivan have agreed to
weigh in at 15S pounds at 3 o'clock and
each have posted 500 as a forfeit should
he fail to make the requirement At this
weight Sullivan probably will have an
advantage Of several pounds when they
step into the ring.

OTHER GRID COMMENT

Heavy going due to recent rams did
not halt the Georgetown football team
from engaging In a lively half-hour
scrimmage on the Hilltop field yesterday
afternoon, in for the game
against West Point next Saturday.
As the scrubs were familiar with the
varsity signals Coach Exendine gave
the regulars q brand-new backield for
nation and started several plays from
this formation which at FIRST puzzled the
second team: later the scrubs checked
the regulars IN fine style. .-

Academy star. played at fullback on the

the scrubs. Dewhurst Is q strapping big
fellow with plenty Of speed. and II he

believed that Coach Exendine will start
him against the Army instead of Demp-
sey, the last named being bothered with
wrenched knee sustained in the
Princeton game.
Prior to the scrirnmage, both the var
sity and scrubs engaged in a long sig
nal drill, when several new forward
passes were tried out. Preceding the sig

Gallaudet.

The varsity squad at GaIlaudet College
was put through long signal drill
yesterday at Kendall Green. Coach Hart
was assisted by DIR. Ely. a member or
the college faculty. Coach Hart was
able to do more with the Kendall
Greeners In the offensive line than al
any other practice this season. The
Kendall Greeners are working hard for
the Indian Reserves game Saturday.
The practice was the most spirited
held this season and the eleven seems
to have acquired its customary
aggressiveness- During the signal drill
which lasted nearly two hours, Rock
well was shifted back to the quarter
back position and Wilson was WORKED
at left half. Capt. Marshell is still
suffering from the injury received early
in the season and may not start the
Carlise game.
The Tech High second team lost to
the Gallaudet Reserves "a to 0. The
school boys were heavily out-weighed
and never succeeded In seriously threat

Many of I<he mainstay OF the Farm

Princeton. n. j.. Oct. 20.-The Tigers
were put through the best practice of
the week today when Speedy" Rush
sent his charges against the freshmen
team. The showing was much better
than when they faced the Cubs two
weeks ago. and the vrasity had little
trouble scoring. Persistent hammering
against the freshmen line by Shea and
briggs scored two of the touchdowns
and a third was made on a series of
forward and lateral passes to the ends.
Moore was at end today, and while
he showed an abundance of speed IL
is apparent he will need considerable
coaching before he can hold down the
position.
