1t is estimated that, with the funds
in hand, the memorial cross can be
completed with about 1880 addition
al. and the foot ball game at Mary
land is to be used to put the project
over. Tickets for the game are in
the hands of members of the Ameri-
can Legion and will be sold through
out the county and in Washington.

alumni will be carried out. In the

The project for using one-half the
proceeds of the game to complete the

part of the university to devote half
the proceeds of one big athletic event
each year TO further some special
project of one of the social organiza-
tions of Prince Georges County.
Catholic University has determined
definitely to maintain it's strict eligi-
bility code adopted two years ago.
The following announcement to this
effect has just been made public by
Dtr rector of Athletics Charles V.
Moran.
The faculty of Catholic University,
having established one-year rule has
recently determined that this rule
must be applied to all games, regard
less OF the eligibility rules of the
institution that is being played.
In the special case of games with
teams of the Southern Conference,
Catholic University has determined
that it will abide by the rulings of
the conference to the strict letter of
the law, regardless of the conse
quences to its own teams
Fort Benning's foot ball team is due
to scrimmage against Georgetown
this afternoon. The soldiers and col
legianS are expecting to benefit con-
siderably by the mix-up. Fort Ben
ning's eleven is quartered here this
week at Washington Barracks. Last
week it played the Sd Army Corps a
tie game, 90, in Baltimore, and re-
manned here rather than make the
long trip back to Georgia.
Both teams will use the practice to
trim up for Saturdays games, George
town getting ready for it's contest
with Furman University at Green
vile, S. c., and Fort Benning for it's
meeting with the Marines here.
While Fort Benning and George
town are scrimmaging on the Hilltop,
the Third Army Corps and Maryland
will be engaging in their weekly
sctto at College Park. For the first
time in several weeks Maryland yes
terday had its full backfeld strength
on the field, one man excepted. Pugh
was out for his first practice since
the game with Washington and Lee,
October 4, while OSBORN was on the
field for the first time since the scrim-
mage with the Third Army Corps in
which he was injured two weeks ago.
The only men the Marylanders now
have on the injured list are George
Lucky, left guard, and Ed Tenney
quarterback. Both of these men are
expected to report the latter part of
next week.
George Washington goes to Balti-
more this week for a game with Johns
Hopkins University. Last year the
Hopkinsites trimmed the Hachetites
by big score, but Coach Crum is
figuring on giving the Baltimoreans
real run for their money this time.
The team will be in good shape for
the frs. time in two weeks.
ElIerton Urann, who played a good
game at shortstop as well as hitting
heavily for the Georgetown nine last
spring, has been elected to the cap
taincy of the 1925 nine at the Hill
top. Urann came to Georgetown from
Maiden, Mass.
