Oh the team are yet 10 De nedTu iTo
Little pretention marked the open
ing meeting of the candidates last
night. Forty-nve signiied their will
ingness to help in putting the univer-
sity on the football map. The out
look in the way OF an impressive
chedule in no way daunted the
George Washington men.
They looked with more than pass
ing interest upon the fact that they
are listed to meet such giants OF the
gridiron as West Virginia, West
Virginia Wesleyan. Fordham. and the
Navy.
Coach Bryan Morse who takes up
the athletic reins at the downtown
Institution, outlined the campaign and
plans for the season q. w. U. ex-
poets to have its freshman team as
well as the varsity. The new direc-
tor wants to build from the ground
up. He believes in encouraging the
youngsters. To this end football as
we'll as other sports will find fresh
men teams competing.
Wednesday the team candidates
meet in Potomac Park. The field
house at the bathing beach has been
obtained for the football candidates.
Provision has been made to work
early or late as the case may be with
the candidates.
George Washington faces Difficult
ties Starting the new athletic cam
paign the Hatchetites have nothing in
the way of known or tried football
material. less in the matter of own
ing and operating an athletic plant.
Nothing daunted. they have started
on lines which they believe will bear
great fruit.
Preparations in Potomac Park are
Of the best. The team will be housed
in thoroughly modern field house
with all the perqulsites necessary to
take care Of the athletes. The field,
laid out in Potomac Park. will be ex-
ceptionally good. Provision has been
made for practice after dark, as cleo
trio light will make the gridiron as
light as day.
Assistance will be obtained in de-
veloping both the varsity and fresh
man elevens. The backing of the fac
ulty and student body Is promised.
George Washington expects few vic
tories, but looks for the development
OF a spirited eleven and unusually
fine support from the student body.

HOPES TO TUMBLE
FLAG C0NTENDERS
Clark Griffith Will Use Best e.
forts Against White Sox
and Indians.
by SID &. KEENER.

ST. LOUIS. sept. 1l.-When the
Griffmen go against the two western
pennant clubs on this final series In
this section. the Old Fox will close
his eyes and play bis cards to the
limit. Griffith is not going to play
favorite with the White Sox and the
Indians. SO far as Griffith Is con-
cerned II can be either club, the
Yank ees, too. Anyway, the West VIII
get the best Griffith has and the
Griffs believe that they will be the
one to deal out the surprise party
when entering Comiskey Park.
The weakest record for the Grifrs
has been made against the White
Sox for some unknown reason. Ihe
Griffs simply cannot play up to the
top mark against the White Sox. Il
there Is one thing they like. II Is 10
beat contender. They have tried
and tried against the White Sox. put
usually something con- along 10
spoil their plans.
The sentiment in the West swings
entirely to the Griffs, owing to the
death OF Ray Chapman. Missourians
especially are pulling for the Indians
but the sentiment Of the rams ana
their sympathy does not cut any ice
on the ball field.
Ball games are won on the diamond
and not in the grandstand. The last
time Cleveland was nipped at the
wire was by a st. LOUIS entry back in
1905. when the four Western clubs
were locked down the stretch. The
Indians lost to st. Louis with Bill
Dineen on the hill and that game
prevented them from winning the
flag The White Sox lost TO the
Tigers and Detroit performed In It's
second worlds series.
Griffith is not talking about such q
thing for his team for 1920. but he
has his eyes peeled on 1921 and. like
all second division magnates. becomes
enthusiastic about the next season
during September.
Griffith really has something to
brag about. He brought In three new
infielders and placed them alongsloe

Griffith will be ready to ADMIT hiIh-
self for the pennant.
Against the Browns the Nationals
have won nine out of nineteen, Which
is not so bad considering that the
Browns are in the first division, ana
If they can get the two games TO-DAY
they will own the verdict on the sea-
son with the Browns.
Just when the Griffs were prepared
to make it three straight over the
Browns yesterday rain came along
and spoiled the party. A double
header is scheduled for today and yes
terday's postponement will not be dis
posed of. with a left-hander and a
rieht-hander winning Thursday, Grif-
nth intends to use the same comblna-
ton today and has Courtney and Bic
miller booked to do the hurting. They
will oppose Dixie Davis and Carl Well

Pipetown athletes to death. Errors
after two were down, combined with
three solid whacks. put Silver Spring
far enough in the lead to win.
Treasury looked like a winner al
most up to the end of yesterdays
battle with Shops at Union Station.
Lefty Kagle got away none too well
as a starter. and Treasury led for six
irnings. until Shops got three across.
Two more runs followed in the sew

Senator Penrose to
Play Golf

Senator Penrose has decided
TO take up golf although he
admitted the other day that he
doesn't know the difference be-
tween a brassie and catcher's
mitt:
The only game the Senator
has ever played is the political
game, at which he is universal
ly known. He does like 70 hunt
and fish and probably will de-
rive great pleasure in hshing
his golf balls from the creek.
During Senator Penrose's re-
cent illness he lost about twenty
pounds and he is feeling SO
good at his present weight that
he entertains fears that he may
regain the lost avoirdupois.

WINTER HUNTING
FOR YOUNG GARDENERS

Winter should not be a dormant
season for the activities of children
enlisted in home gardening The fall
ing of leaves and harvesting of last
crops are not signs to cease effort.
Nature is preparing for the spring
rush. Her forces for good and evil
will be ready early to work for and
against the garden. There are null
titudcs of things for children to do
now.
The cutworm and white grub have
made little earthen cells in. the soil
and will be as "snug as a bug in a.
rug" until time to eat crops if the cells
are not broken by blowing and spad-
ing and the insects brought to the
top to be killed by freezing weather.

garden enemies are sleeping Drag
away their blankets by burning the
large stems and placing the leaves in

Garden enemies may be hunted in
the trees after the snow falls. Look
for the little rings of eggs of the
tent caterpillars on the twigs of cher
ry and apple trees. Every time one
of these egg rings is put in the stove
or furnace there will be several hun
dred less caterpillars next year.

the tussock moth make good winter
