hold down the other forward position.
Georgetown figures it ought to win
from st. Joseph's. but that quint is like
ly to be much stronger than those that
have represented the institution in
past seasons. The contest will start at
$50 o'clock.
Gallaudet's team will also begin play
today. when it lines up against the
Baltimore City College at Kendall
Green. The local institution will begin
the contest with about the same play
ers who made up the team a year ago,
and it should have no trouble winning
by big score. Rockwell and Kelley
will start at the guard positions, the
two Wenger brothers at forwards, and
Rassmussen at center. This makes
formidable combination. one which
will give the best of the colleges in this
section mighty difficult struggle.
Local college foot ball teams are

seems that Washington is a poor foot
ball town, as far as drawing crowds is
concerned, because that appears to be
the main reason why the strong elevens
do not want to come here. They all
