GEORGETOWN TO PLAY
EASTERN TEAM TODAY

Local football followers will journey to
the old Hilltop Field today to get a
chance at watching the GEORGETOWN
eleven in action against the Eastern Col
lege team. in the first home game.
Coach Exendine has been putting the
Blue and Gray through some real drills
during the past week in order to have
them in shape for this contest. The Hill
toppers were handed quite a setback
last Saturday by the Navy eleven, but
Coach Exendine has corrected the many
faults which blossomed forth In this con-
test and feels confident that the Blue
and Gray warriors will trim the visiting
Virginians.
Not much is known of the strength
Of the visiting eleven, but reports from
Manassas state that they will make
things interesting for the Hilltoppers
quite shake-up has been effected dur
ing the past week in the Georgetown
back field. Wall and Leighty will not
start the game today because of in
jurtes while Johnny Gilroy, the SEN
sational running half back of last sea-
sons team, will not get into the opening
lineup, but will be used II 1t becomes
necessary. McQuade will start at full,
with Whalen and ]. O'Boyle in the halves
and Jackie Maloney in the quarter, back
position.
The same forwards will start against
Eastern as started the game last Satur-
day against Navy with the exception
of Connell, who has replaced Cusack at
the right flank. This game will be
called at 3 p. m.

BROOKLYN DODGERS
MAKE new DISCOVERY
Robins Now Convinced that Champion
Red Sox Club Is the Class.
BY ARTHUR sTRUWE.

New York, Oct. 12-On the anniversary
of the day that Christopher Columbus
discovered America there was another
discovery made in these United States
The Dodgers discovered that they did not
class as a team with the world champion
Red Sox.
Today is another anniversary-that of
Black Friday. 1t was not a dark day
for the Bostonians. but Friday the 18th
was full OF bugaboos for the National
League champions.
They came, they saw, but they did not
conquer.
Grave rumors are in circulation that
the Department OF Justice will be appeal
ed to to bust" another trust-that OF the
Boston baseball monopoly. Four years
ago this monopoly was established when
the Red Sox came through and success
fully annihilated all opposition for the
world title. In 1913 the hand of the law
stayed the monopoly But after a legal bat
tie 1t cropped up anew in 1914 and has
continued to have strangIehold on all
competition.
Today the alibiests OF the National
League are offering excuses for their non
success in capturing the titular honor
But there can be no alibis. The simple
truth is that the Dodgers were outplayed
and outclassed throughout. As a team
they were not in 1t with the worlds cham
pions.
The old war song 'Tessie" has been
buried. The Boston Royal Rooters'' are
through. They are having their throats
sprayed today to relieve the soreness
coming as an aftermath for their con-
tlnual cheering-because the Bostonians
were the only ones who had opportunities
to hurrah for their team
King baseball is dead for 1916 King
football has taken his place
Long live the king!

MOHAWKS TO PLAY
VIGILANTS SUNDAY

The Mohawk Athletic Club football
team which at present appears to be the
only likely looking rivals in this vicinity
Of the Vigtlant eleven will battle the
big W. team Sunday afternoon at Union
League Park.
Both elevens were without a game for
Sunday and Manager Mcclure and Man
ager Oliveri closed arrangements last
night for this contest. The "Indians''
were scheduled to play the Vigilants late
In November. but when Oliveri offered
this game to the Southwest club, they
jumped at the opportunity, as many are
of the belief that the Mohawks have a
good chance Of slipping It over on the
champions in this contest
All arrangements for this battle have
been completed, and one of the best
games of the season is expected. The
game will be called at D. m.

SNODGRASS MAY BE
COACH OF HARVARD

New York, Oct 13-Trailing along with
the Boston baseball rooters who invaded
Brooklyn for the world series games
came a report that the Harvard baseball
management had approached Fred Snod-
grass, OF the Braves, with reference to
coaching the Crimson baseball players.
No contract has been offered to him, but
he was asked, it is said, if he would con-
slider the proposition to teach the base
ball idea to shoot at Soldiers Field. Snod-
grass Is one of the highest types of pro-
fessional baseball players, he knows the
game. and undoubtedly would fit in very
well at Cambridge. Fred Mitchell, also
OF the Braves. had great success with the
nine last season, and would have been re-
engaged had 1t not been for a new con-
tract with Haughton's team which will
prevent his serving Harvard.
