FINAL GRID DATES
Local Institutions Have About
Finished Foot Ball SChed-
ules for 1919.
BY II. C. BYRD.

Foot ball schedules of local col
leges for next fall are almost COM
plete. Georgetown has one or two
dates on its list yet to be straight
ened out, Catholic University is in
about the same position and Gal
laudet has its probable schedule
pretty well worked up. Maryland
State has about completed its ar
| rangements, with just shade of
doubt existing in regard to one con-
test. All the big" games seem TO
be settled, as far as dates are con-
cerned.
Principal games on Georgetown s
schedule are with Virginia Pol! :

be the features of the season. tTal-
laudet is to play most of the teams
it usually meets, with the eEcSl tIoi,
of st. Johns of Annapolis Mary ID
State has made some changes IN ~
list of contests. being due TO meet
four institutions it has never before
faced. At the most, only three other
eleyens in Maryland viii be played
and possibly only two. ..
The Washington and Lee-George-
town game may be looked forward 70
as a brilliant possibility. It is well
understood that both institutions WIZ
have back practically the entire M en-
hership of the greatest eievens lney
have developed, those of 1916. me
contest between Georgetown an, anu
MARYLAND state still is a possibility
Both institutions want the game, but
so far something seems to have come
IN to block It. While much was sain
at one time about Georgetown ana
Catholic University getting together
those schools have not yet reacheo
any agreement for a game or gau'"'
in anything
MARYLAND state got it's base ball
squad out yesterday for the hrSt
practice. Not much real work was
done. The squad batted the bar
around a little, the pitching being
nothing but fairly fast straight ones
right over for the purpose of taking
a good crack at the ball. About
twenty minutes OF infeld work, be
sides the batting. constituted the
days workout.
Several former Washington high
school men reported for the team,
and others are to come out within the
next few DAYS Those out yesterday
were Snyder, Eiseman, Clark and
Stabler of Tech; Molster. Edmonds
,o1s MyrD n
western and Raedy of Business. Sny-
der and Eiseman were members OF
last years nine. Neither Groton nor
Bailey. the players expected to do the
ca atching, were on hand. but VIII be
in suits today. In their absence NC
Ceney, an outfielder or last season,
worked out back of the bat. Other
old men present were Bobbie knode.
Capt. Riggs, Stewart knode Moran
and Gilbert of Frederick High, Will
Hanson of Alexandria High and Bur
roughs of Surrattsviile High looked
TO be about the best of the other
players.
The first game of states season is
scheduled March % with Georgetown.
A Galiaudet "rooter,'' who is espe-
cially enthusiastic about Downes'
plav at center on the basket ball
team. believes that the lanky fellow
will make a fine halfback. Here IS
the opinion expressed in the kendali
Greener's own words:
"Downes will make one of the best
foot ball players that have ever worn
GaIlaudets colors. He probably VIII
never develop the bulldog strength
that Andre had, and he may never be
quite so good in one or two ways as
Brick, but he has the essential quail
fications to enable him to outclass
either Of those men as an ail-around
performer. He is much faster than
either of the mentioned stars, and he
has ability to keep cool at all times
and under any kind of conditions. Not
much was heard of him last fall, be-
cause that was his first year in foot
ball. but just you keep your eyes open
for him in another year If he fails
to make a star of the first water l
shall be greatly surprised"
