G. ". j. GAME
OPEN TOPUBLIC
Coach Morse's Men Open
Season Saturday With
Western Maryland.

George Washington University in
vites the football public to its first
game which will he staged Saturday
in Potomac Park at the foot of -Four:
teenth street, just south of the Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing
Building and east of the Tidal Basin
bathing beach house.
Their opponents will be the Wes-
tern Maryland University. The game
will start promptly at o'clock.
The Hatchetites have been unable
to obtain a field for their first game
The opening of the university on
Wednesday gives the authorities
such a short time to distribute the
student activity tickets that it was
decided to open up the first game
and invite all the G. w. U. students
and the public.
Delaware College, which will be
played here on October 9, will be
played at Union Park, Fifteenth and
II streets northeast. Arrangements
have been completed whereby the
Hatchetites will stage their home
games at Union League Park.
1t is expected that with the open
ing of the university a number of
candidates will report. The G. w.
U. squad last week numbered thirty
six but with injuries and the drop
ping of several candidates not more
than twenty-six were on hand at
any one practice during the week.
James Moyle, former Western
High School student. who played
guard on the Western football team
reported yesterday to Coach Morse
for football practice. 1t was gen.
orally understood that Moyle was
going to the University of Pennsyl-
vsnia, but reconsidered and entered
the local university.
Arthur Gronna, right guard on the
Hatchetites eleven, injured his
shoulder in practice yesterday and
will probably be unable to play in
the game Saturday. Jim" Hume
and Giblin, who have been on the in
jured list, reported for practice their
injuries having healed sufficiently to
permit them to join tho squad.

SPEED SHOWN
BY GEORGETOWN
Coach Exendine Hopes to
Put Exceptionally Fast
Team in Field.

Coach Exendine yesterday divid-
cd his squad into four sections,
which. under his direction. went
through long and fast drill in the
signals and formations. All the
men seemed to have mastered the
signals. for the practice went with
such speed as is seen usually only
in midseason. The formation were
executed with snap and precision.
Everything was well co-ordinated,
and Georgetown is sure to have a
well-drilled team and a team that
will act as a unit.
TnckIing Practice Begun.
There was some tackling practice,
but on account of the terrific heat
the coaches did not drive the men
hard in their tackling. The coacnss
say that the heat is retarding the
practice and prevents them from
sending their charges through thu
sCrimmsges that they would like
to engage in. However, they agree
that the team is in fine condition
and well able to stand the strain
of a hard campaign. which starts
next Saturday with a game with
ST. Johns, Of Annapolis at the
American League Park.
The finishing touches will be put
on the team during the coming few
days to make it ready for Satur-
Gays game. ScTimmage Will start
on Wednesday. even If il has to
be done in spite of the weather.
Work al the tscklinG dummy and
at the chaAing machine will start

Fast Team Expected.
Special attention is being direct
ed toward making this years team
an unusually fast one and the
coaches say that there are all in
diCatiOns that the team will be eN-
ceptionally fast. and well able to
make speed counterbalsnce weight
not that it is a light squad, but
il is not OF unusual weight
Today the coaches will pick eIcy-

George Sisles Equals
Cobb's Record of Hits

The old-time records are going
fast. First 1T was the record for
runs in the American League
held by Cobb, who, in 1911, scor-
ed l47' times, that was passed
by Ruth. Then Babe comes
along and takes away the home
run record of Perry Werden
who made forty-five homers in
season. Now Ruth has made
his fifty-third. But the last of
the junior league records-that
of hits-is also to pass into obliv-
ion. Yesterday George Sisler.

have the advantage. The Indians
