There are three weakIings in the

from opposite ends Of the circuit are
decidedly expensive and have caused

more promises to have the entire

town, Pa, parading through the
streets of the Capital before going
to the field. This will be Washing
toms only chance of seeing the boys
who are training Tor work in France.

of Georgetown, Lieutenant Raken
says, Your letter received and in
reply will state that II pleases every
one In the camp from the commanding
officer to the lowest private to have
scheduled the game with Georgetown

shown in this matter is certainly a
fine one in contradistinction to some
other universities with whom we
have tried to arrange games"

is known, has no money. Its share
OF the Georgetown game receipts
