Washington in the line by an average
of nine pounds to tho man. The Blue
and Gray forwards. end to end. aver
age 1S9 3-7 pounds and the Hatchet-
ties. $50 81. There are many who will
argue. though, that the 1S0-pound

than the 1S9-pounder
Roth BackFelds Heavy.
In the backfieId Georgetown's su-
periority in weight is not quite so
marked. as its margin there is only
seven pounds. The four men who are

The average weight of the George
town team is II little less than 1S4
pounds, being exactly 1873 9-ll
George Washington's average weight
Is 1i5 3-11 pounds. making an advan-
taee for Georgetown of Il little more
than eight pounds.
Both schools are planning to make
the day one which will long be re-
membered by students and alumni.
Bands have been hired and every ef-
fort is going to be made TO put the
game on the same popular plane 1T
enjoyed fourteen years ago. when the
contest was ranked as one of the most
important in the south Atlantic sec
ttUn and by far the most important
of all the struggles staged annually
in Washington.
Three of the four officials for the
game have been agreed on. Courtney
OF Cornell will referee. CouZenst Cf
Pennsylvania is due to umpire and
Harmon Of West Virginia is to be
head linesman. The other man, field
judge. will be selected from four
names sent down by the central boa rd
on officials.
All high school students holding
athletic tickets in their schools will
be admitted TO the game for one-half
the regular admission charge. This
will give the Schoolboys an oppOrtu-
nifty to see the contest for 50 cents.
and juasmuch as there will be plenty
OF Yeats available an opportunity is
offered which seldom opens up in
connection with Il big foot ball game.
Authorities on the Hilltop admit
their team is stronger than George
Washington. but say they are not
Understanding the Buff and Blue by
amy means. In other words. George
town people think their team is going
TO win but that it will have to extend
itself more than anybody expects.
George WaShington's supporters sim
ply are sitting tight in the determine
tion to back their eleven to the limit
to make the best showing possible.
They know they Will be against d

the weaker team in foot ball games
sometimes is the victor.
While Georgetown and George Wash
ington are battling at American
League Park the University of Mary
land and Catholic University will be
facing strong opponents on foreign
fields. Maryland goes to baltimore
for n meeting with the University of
North Carolina and Catholic Cniver-

will have their hands full. to say the

The average weights of the two teams
