Seven Games Arranged
For GNU. Gridironers
First with Gettysburg Octo-
Der IA and Last with George
town on Turkey Day.
COACH Is NOT NAMED

With the signing of the contract for a
football game on next Thanksgiving Day
between the gridiron teams of George
town University and George Washington
University. Student Manager Donall Har-
rison McKnew announces his schedule OF
seven games
Owing to the necessity of completing
the organization of the squad. the first
game has been booked a little late. being
scheduled with the Gettysburg College
team at Gettysburg on the 18th OF Oc-
tober. Western Maryland viii be played
here the following Saturday. and Johns
Hopkins will be met at Homewood Field
In Baltimore on the last Saturday OF the
month.
The four games which are scheduled
during the month of November will all
be played in this city. On November 4
the crack Ursinus College eleven will be
played. and a week later the Eastern Col
lese team. of Manassas, Va. will the
Buff and Blues" opponents. The Hamp-
ton-Sidney eleven will battle the locals
on the 18th, while an open date ia on the
schedule for the following Saturday.
Manager hcknew is not overanXous
to I'LL this date. as two weeks after the
Hampton-Sidney game the G. W. U. grid
lroners clash with their ancient rival
from the Hilltop. This game has always
proven to be a big attraction from a
financial standpoint for both teams. and
has drawn bigger crowds than the old
|Georgetown-Virginia game. Washington
followers OF the gridiron game are now
assured OF a good local attraction for
Turkey Day.
The question of the coach has not been
decided upon. but the management has
the applications of six thoroughly capable
tutors under consideration. The faculty
committee on student activities will make
some decision in this line some time be-
fore the end of the month.
Negotiations are under way with the
oft1clals of the local American League
baseball team for the use OF the Ma
tlonals' park. In case Manager McKnew
Is unable to obtain the local league
grounds. he will attempt to secure the use
of the new Central High School stadium
Manager McKnew has already obtained
an option on the grounds at Fifteenth
and II streets northwest, which were used
during the past four years by the Vigilant
football team.
The schedule announced is as follows:
October l+Gettysburg at Gettysburg.
October 21-Western Maryland at home
October 2s-Johns Hopkins at BaIti-
more.
November 4-Ursinus at home.
November l1-Eastern College at home
November 1S-Hampton- Sidney at home
November 25-Open; no game.
November 50-GeOrgetown at George
town Field.

YANNIGANS HAND
zEROS TO REGS
Grif's First Squad Is Handed
Trimming by Rockies in
Six-inning Game.
BENTLEY SHOWS FORM
Sandy Springs Southpaw and Charlie
Humphrey Allow Six
Hits.
by WILLIAM PEET.

Charlottesville, Va, March 16.-Zero
weather and a biting wind from the
snow-capped Blueridge Mountains did
not halt the Nationals in their daily prac-
tice here today, for Griffith had the
boys out at noon and staged a six-inning
ball game, the Yannigans banking the
regulars, to o, outhitting and outfield-
ing them at every stage.
Sloan and Dumont, the pitchers as
signed to toll for the first team, were I'M
mercifully hammered. Three hits in the
opening chaper brought in as many runs,
while four healthy wallops in the fifth
inning added quartet of tallies.
The regulars faced Humphreys and
Bentley, southpaws, and could do little
against them. Perfect fielding by Alt
rocks crowd at critical stages precluded
runs. Jameson and Moeller, for the
Yannigans, carried on the batting hon
ors. Clyde Milan, with a single and
double, led the regulars.
While 1t was much too cold for good
baseball, the Yannigans were full Of pep
per and fight. Carl Sawyer, on the
coaching lines was the life OF the whole
party. Griff shook up his Yannigans a
bit, playing Parks on second base and
Sawyer at short, benching Leonard
Schwab. Parks drove in a run in the
first inning and scored in the fifth The
opener, singles by Moeller and shanks,
a walk to H. Milan, and Parks double
sent over three runs
In the fifth, with George Dumont pitch
ing against them, the Yannigans smashed
the ball all over the lot Singles by
Jameson, H. Milan. Sawyer and Rippy
Williams, two bad throws by Clyde
Milan, and boot by Dumont, let four
runs trickle over the plate. It was so
cold that after the men had gone six
innings Manager Griffith wisely decided
to call off hostilities.
The score:
