describe

Soccer Is Better.

TT Georgetown University,

- as a major sport, is searching
for substitute, it might do far
worse than to adopt soccer foot
ball.
Soccer is a fine outdoor game
for winter use in this climate. AL
most from the close of the foot
ball season to the opening of the
baseball season soccer might be
played here in the District, and
too, in places adjacent. Wash
ington's open winters are just
made for this lively game.
