Sunday. is to meet the Navy Yard on
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge; the

the strongest Independent organiza-
ton playing in the state of Delaware,
is to be the opponent of Rex.
Both games should develop good
foot ball of that kind. The Navy Yard
VIII put forth great efforts to beat
the Ewing team in order to show
more favorably than the Rex team
1T cannot afford to do much losing if
1t is to stay in the good graces of
followers of the independent game
In all probability the Ewing outfit will
be somewhat stronger against Navy
YARD than 1t was in the game with
feS, as 1t promises to have in it's
lineup Reds" Moore. who is said not
to have lost any of the cunning which
made him while at Haverford one of
the best collegiate punters in the
east.
Another Independent game. which
should be interesting. is to be played
at Boiling Field between the Boiling
Field team and the Dreadnaughts of
Alexandria. The Boiling Field outfit
is anxious to obtain a game with Rex

That Washington and Lee is going
to make great effort to beat George

circular letter it is sending out to
asking them to be at the game to
form a cheering section. Here is the
appeal the Lexingtonians are making
to their graduates:

team has come across. Will you? The

this is a drive.

Georgetown is down at Atlanta for a
struggle with Georgia Tech which
should go down in the records of the

south. Georgia Tech is known to
have strong combination. and
Georgetown's victory over the Navy
means that it is not to be taken light
