HUME BOYS MAKE
GOODAT WESTERN
ONFOOTBALL TEAM

Thomas L. Hume, former University
OF Virginia athlete and well known In
this city, is contributing largely to
the success of Western High School
football elevens.
Three years ago Tom Hume. Jr., was
right guard on Westerns football
team. Last year Charles Hume was
left end on the team, Tom having
graduated. This year the third
Hume, James l., is playing left end
on Westerns team.
Western appears to be q great
school for brothers who follow each
other on the athletic teams. Last
year Hume, O'Brien, and hcKelway,
regular members OF Westerns foot
ball, all had had brothers who earned
their letters before them.
This year besides Hume there is an
other youngster, a Davidson. who
had a brother playing on the team
last season. But the latest Hume to
make a bid for football honors is
James, OF the Hume family. Jim, as
he is called, is just sixteen. He stands
six feet and one inch and weighs IA
and IL still growing. Jim also goes
by the nickname OF Lily" which is
fair enough
There will be more Humes for
Western, according to the father, who
says Dick Hume, another, and Patrick
Henry, still another. are being
groomed to take their places on West
ern teams in the not too distant fu-
ture.
Five brothers on Western teams
would be q record second to none in
the city. More power to the Humes
Central appears to have everything
in its favor in tOday's game, and
should run through Eastern at will
The Fasteners, with a team pounds
lighter than Central, and possessing
less experience, cannot hope to cope
with the Centralites. Surprises are
often noted in scholastic games, but
unless the unexpected happens Gen.
trail will win by a large margin.
The Centarl team however, may be
caught off its stride. 1t must be re-
membered that Central developed
quickly, much more rapidly than the
other teams, and that II is impos-
sible to keep any football eleven at
top speed during sn entire season.
In Long, Macdonald, Wulson, and
Belknap, Central possesses by all
odds the most capable aIl-around
backfield in the high schools. The
line appears to be stronger than any
OF the other high school lines, and
all the team needs to guard against
is overconfidence and staleness.
UP there, and the players will not lack

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown has been notified by
Eastern College, of Manassas, Va,
that the Virginians will have no
football eleven this season and that,
accordingly, the game scheduled for
the Hilltop a week from Saturday,
cannot be played.
Whether or not the Blue and Gray
will make any endeavor to book a
substitute game depends wholly upon
Trainer John D. 0'Reilly. The Hill
toppers have passed through two Sc
we're contests, those with Springfield
Y. N. c. A. Training School and
Lehigh. Cody, the gritty little full
back, has a broken nose, received in
the Lehigh game last Saturday.
Practically every other member of
the eleven is bruised and sore. A
rest may do them all good.

'taeorgetown's linemen took q hard

Pennsylyanians all through the first
half and again in the final period. In
the third period Lehigh did gain

occasion in the fourth period and Tom
