TURKEY GAME
FOR CHARITY
Catholic University and George
Washington Stand Financial
Loss to Meet Tomorrow.
By BRYAN MORSE.

In these days when football costs
more than ever before in the history
of the gridiron game, George Wash
ington University and Catholic Uni
versity will stage their annual en-
gagement in the Central High
School stadium tomorrow afternoon
for charity. Over and above the ex-
penses of the contest, the institu-
lions are pledged to give to a worthy
charity the profits of the contest.
Counting upon this game to recoup
the losses of the season and the
maintenance of the gridiron season,
the institutions involved could make
no other arrangement They are
standing a huge loss In Difference to
the wishes of the clergy, who pro-
tested that the game as set IN the
morning came at the hour OF service.
At a meeting of the representative
of the two institutions with the SUI
perintendnt of pubic schools yester-
day afternoon, the Central High
School stadium was obtained for the
big game tomorrow afternoon. The
original place of playing the game
was American League Park.
In consequence of shifting the time
and place of playing Washington
and Catholic University, through
ruling of the Board Of Education,
accepeed the stadium rather than dis
appoint their own students and foi-
lowers
The game then will be played a:
$50 D. m. tomorrow afternoon with
charles Guyon, of Carlisle; J. l.. Gam
mel of Brown, umpire, and George +.
Green, TIE .nple University, linesman.
Representatives of the two instt-
buttons extended today to the high
school principals an invitation to the
Washington high schools to attend
tomorrow's game. Holders or hlgh
school athletic association tickets are
TO be admitted for twenty-five cents
and will be seated in specially re-
geryed sections. The high school
Football teams have also been in
vited to attend the contest
George Washington and Catholic
University will turn over the surplus
funds to some charity when all ex-
uenses are paid for the game. 1t 10
expected that the institutions will!
each face a dead loss Of considerably
more than a thousand dollars. AS
,psr agreement the students OF both
institutions will be admitted to tue
,ontest on their association tickets.
Some time ago Catholic University
and George Washington University
found IL possible to play their game
1t American League park Thanks
giving Day morning. In difference
10 the wishes of the clergy the in
stitutions agreed to play the game In
he afternoon, only to find that not
a single field in the city other than
he Central stadium, was available
'or the game.
The only way the stadium was OBJ
tained was under the stipulations ex-
blamed. which proffer was accepted
ny the institutions.
The fact that arrangements for
he game were hurriedly concluded
will in no way change the aspect OF
the game as a football contest. Both
institutions will go through with
their scheduled programs.
The teams arc said to be in first
Glass shape. Practice during the
week has shown both Catholic Uni
yersity and George Washington Uni
yersity to be in fine fettle. The re-
cent Villanova contest served to put
he Brooklanders on edge. The rest
gained by George Washington Unit
versity when the Navy game was can
relled helped materially in boosting
the morale Of the Hatchetites.
Tomorrow's contest Will find two
FAIRLY well matched elevens with lit
lie TO choose in the way OF actual
playing strength. The records Of the
teams indicate that a first class con-
test Is in prospect.
