G. VIC. u. BATTLE IS
CARD FOR TURKEY DAY

There is going to be no champion
ship at stake when George wash
ington University and Catholic Uni
versity clash at the American League
Park Thanksgiving Day morning,
but the battle will mean just as
much to the players of the two
elevens. 1t will bring to a close
their seasons, neither of which has
been particularly successful, and the
winning machine will feel in a
measure compensated for its work.
One of the biggest crowds of the
season is expected TO turn out for
the occasion and a close battle is
assured. On comparative records,
there is little to choose between the
two.
George Washington took a lay-off
Saturday as far as a game was con-
cerned, but put in a stiff practice.
At the same time, c. U. was defeated
13 to by Villanova, a team which
was beaten 10 to by George Wash
ington here.

TECH AND CENTRAL TOBATTLE
FOR SCHOOL TITLE WEDNESDAY

Central and Tech have left the
high school field behind again and
stand ready to settle differences in
the annual classic for high school
fans in a game Wednesday after
noon at American League Park
which will decide the local gridiron
championship.
The windup to an unusually in
teresting football season for Wash
ington high school followers car
ries an air of added keenness. in ad-
dition to the usual atmosphere of
rivalry, for ii is rumored that Cen
trail, title holder for the last five
years, is due for the severest test
in this meeting. Yes, the dope
churners say Tech is all marked up
with a through ticket for ride to
the title this season.
Tech has not been scored on by
a local high school eleven, neither
has Central. But-Central faltered
last week when it failed to count
against Western and was held to a
tie in a game which appeared none
too favorable from the Blue and
White viewpoint. And this is where
the dopesters figure it for Tech.

There is some truth in the state

more to this clash than to all other
games and the natural consequence
is the teams will be at a different
pitch Wednesday than at any other
time this season. Then Is when the

I wandered back to Mudville, Hop,
where you and 1 were boys;
And where we drew in days gone
by our fill of childish Joys;
Alas, the towns deserted now, and
only rank weeds grow,
Where mighty Casey famed the air
just forty years ago.
Remember Billy Woods place.
where in the twilight shade
The old bunch gathered to discuss
the home runs Casey made?
Dog fennel now grows thick around
that joint we used to know
Before old Casey biffed the breeze
/ some forty years ago..
The grandstand, too, has been torn
down-no bleachers met my gaze,
Where you and I were wont to sit
in bygone, happy days;
The peanuts which we fumbled there
have sprouted in a row,
Where mighty Casey swung in vain
just forty years ago.
Oh. how we used to cheer him, Hop
each time he came to bat;
And how we held our breath in awe
as on the plate he spat:
And when he landed on the ball
how loud we yelped-but oh.
How loud we cursed when he struck
out-just forty years ago.
The ball field Is corn patch-tht
outfield's overgrown
With pumpkin vines and weedy
plots-the rooters all have flown
No one could bear to linger on wher
you, in that dim age,
Exploded Mudville's awful shamt
each night upon the stage.
The village band disbanded soon
the. mayor, too. resigned:
The council even Jumped its graf
and in seclusion pined;-
The marshal caught the next trair

Began to leave in fiocks and drove,

We print this week the following
poem, by Robert Louis Stevenson,
for the consolation of the bereaved:
Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutIy step by step with you,
Your whole long, gusty lifetime through
BE gone a while before,
Be now a moment gone before
Yet doubt not soon the seasons will restore
Your friend to you.
He has but turned a coner-still
He pushes on with right good will
Through mire and marsh, by hedge and hill,
That self-same arduous way
That self same, upland, hopeful way
That you and he through many a doubtful
day
Attempted still.
He is not dead this friend, not dead
But in the paths we mortals tread
Got some few trfling steps ahead
And nearer to the end,
So that you, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again as lace to face this friend
You fancy>dead.
Push gaily on strong heart! the while
You travel forward mile by mile
He ioiteTs with a backward SMILE
Till you can overtake;
And strains his eyes to search his wake,
Or, whistlng. as he sees you through the
brake,
Waits on a stile
