Real troubles may develop in the ar
rangement of schedules for next fall.
1t is not secret that Georgetown has
had an unsatisfactory list of games for
the last two or three years. The Blue
and GRAY has not arranged a series of
games with the institutions Ii most de-
sires to meet and with which it would
make the best showing. A date on
Pittsburgh's schedule would look good
to the Hilltoppers and SO would one

Georgetown would like to haye-really
ought to have-a contest in one OF the
big cities with a college or university
located there. The Hiiltoppers are in
a Quandary about arranging big home
| games. Support for them here has
| been lacking and the athletic associa-
/ tion is not now in such a financial con-
| dition that 1t can afford to accept what
| may prove heavy burdens.
| There is a possibility that the man
| agement of the Hilltop school may at
| tempt to arrange a game in Atlanta,
| Ga. with Georgia Tech. With both in
stitutions turning out strong eIeyens
as last fall the game would prove par
| ticulaFly attractive. Incidentally IL is
said that foot ball fans in Atlanta
| would not be averse to going out to
watch a team which had a good chance
| to beat Georgia Tech. Most big elevens
have not been laundering after games

years. and If the local university can

lucky. West Virginia University or
Rutgers might be willing to come to

the same kind of schedule il had last

the one lament of the Navy men was
mat, mat they had no big teams to play.
ne sailors used to have strong elev-
ems come to Annapolis for games, but
all the big teams are trying to ar
range financially profitable contests,
ana such are not to be found in the
MARYLAND capital. There are no gate
receipts at Annapolis. and the Middies
cannot we'll afford to pay exceptionally
large guarantees. The income from
loot ball in most large colleges sup
ports the many branches of minor
sports. and it is for that reason that
the financial end of the game is looked
after 50 carefully.
There is to be little more in the
way of sports here until after the holt
days. The games last night were all
that are scheduled in the Intercoi-
legiate Basket Ball League until jan
uary. and Georgetown plays the only
remaining collegiate contest with the
University of Maryland. That should
result in an easy victory for the Hill
toppers. as the Navy last week scored
more than 30 points against ] for the

contests are to be staged this week,
