Thanksgiving Gridiron Classic Between
GEORGETOWN and G. w. u. to Be Resumed

F, left -hander, who has pitched some very
, creditable ball. Gallaudet holds a place
| unique, toe. in that it may start its sea
| son with its regular lineup of last sea-
son.
The mainstays of the team a year ago
We're Rockwell at shortstop Marshall at
first. Kendall behind the bat and Ras-
| mussen on the mound. There were several
other men who played fine ball, particu-
| larly Treuke at second base. The Kendall
GreenerS are said to have some very good
new material-better than is usual for
then-and they expect some changes to
be made in their team for this reason.
The same men who were in charge Of
the teams in 1915 will direct their ener-
gies this spring. John OReilly, physical
director at Georgetown, also coaches base
Catholic University, is coach OF base ball,
and Johnny Priest has been obtained to
teach the Gallaudet players before he re-
ports to the International League for the
regular season.
| 1t is practically certain that the
gridiron classic between Georgetown
and George Washington will be re-
sumed next fall. There have been
some reports to the effect that the
Hatchetites might meet Catholic Uni
versity. instead of the Hilltoppers. but
those in charge now at the downtown
institution hold fast to their belief that
the old contest between them and
Georgetown. if resumed, will prove the
same big game of the year that it was
at that time.
Negotiations have been going on for
some weeks between the two institu-
tons looking toward resumption of
the contest, and conference between
officials representing them will be held
today at Georgetown. which probably
will result in the scheduling of the
contest. George Washington officials
said they did not want to say any
thing about their schedule as yet and
men in charge at Georgetown would
make no statement concerning the
playing of the game Thanksgiving.
1t was learned, though, that Dave
Baer. graduate manager of athletics a
George Washington University. is to
meet in conference today at George
town with Father Emmett, faculty
supervisor of athletics at Georgetown.
and Charley Cox, graduate manager of
athletics at Georgetown. to arrive at
a definite understanding. Baer is
known to favor the playing of George
town. and officials at Georgetown will
find in the game that for which they
have been looking since the severance
of athletic relationship with Virginia
game that would prove financially
productive as was that with Virginia.
If Georgetown and George Washing

assured. Catholic University and George
Washington probably will play the
Saturday prior to that. November 25.
Nothing but the proverbial covered
itself with glory" fits the st. Adams
track squad in the Meadowbrook meet
in Philadelphia last night. Brooke
Brewer -an second in the open fifty
yard dash and the relay team won the
one-mile championship races, defeat
technie. The time for the event gave
st. Adams new record for the
Meadowbrook track, the mile being
done in minutes SO rs seconds, which
is remarkably fast for a prep school
four indoors.
The real triumph of the St Alban's
representatives. though, came in the
scratch invitation 50-yard dash, in
which Brooke Brewer defeated about
the best aggregation of sprinters that
which equaled the Americai indoor rec
ord Howard Drew, proclaimed by
many the greatest sprinter in the
world. finished the event in fourth
position. The winning of this race by
Brewer undoubtedly places him in a
position where he may lay claim to as
high honorS as can be awarded in the
world of sprints. Brewer stands an
even chance against any sprnter in the
world at any distance from so yards to
220 yards. to judge by his performance
against the Teputed best to be offered.
1t was a wonderful victory for the
local boy, and one which gains for him
premier laurels amog the country's
best runners.
The relay race in which Catholic Uni
versity lost to Lehigh was run in very
fast time, the Pennsylvanians doing
the distance in 3.32 and a fraction.
That pace indoors is too fast for most
any quarter in this section.
