MARKED CHANGES
IN CARDS LIKELY
Georgetown and Maryland
Due to Hold Many of
Their 1890 Rivals.
By H. C. BYRD.
A ARRANGEMENTS for next


"A are holding the attention
of local colleges right now
iust about as much as preparation
Cor games that remain to be play
I'd this year. Plans are being
made in at least two cases to
make many shifts and to get
many new teams for 1880 con-
tests, while in at least two others
the present commitments are
such that very few new ones can
be made. It is possible that the
1891 season will find the same
fault in the schedules that has
been found this year-lack Of
enough attractive games for To-
cal fields.
Catholic University and George
washington are trying TO arrange
different from their 1880 lists. Out at
Brookland it Is reported that Dutch"
Bergman, new athletic director, Is not
at all satisfied with the list of games
he inherited this season and wants new
teams for next year.
Not much has been said about the
1891 schedule, but considerable work Is
being done on it and when it finally
appears probably will not be recognized
IS the same thing.
George WASHINGTON is in the same
position as Catholic U. and also wants
bigger and better foot ball teams In
1881, to test the mettle of what Is likely
to be one Of its greatest elevens, or, at
least, what it expects to be one Of its
greatest.
Georgetown and Maryland already
have schedule commitments which
bring back next year many of the
elevens on this seasons list. As q
matter of fact, Maryland is more tied
up in this way than any Of the local
institutions. The Old Liners will meet
only one new school.
A new team on Georgetown's list
probably viii be BuclSnell, as it is under
stood that negotiations have about been
completed for game to be played here.
Gallaudet and American University
are likely to play about the same type
Of schedules they have this Fall.
Just what games win be booked here
Is not known, and 1t may be that the
season viii not produce enough attract
tive local contests. It Is understood,
too, that the West Virginia game which
has always proved Ceorgetown's most
attractive setto may next Fall be played
at Morgantown.
However. If Georgetown plays Buck
nell here, that should be well worth
while, as Bucknell has a far stronger
team every year than 1t gets credit for.
Maryland win play some good home
games. As q matter of fact, the Old
Liners home schedule next Fall Is likely
30 be the best they have ever had.
There Is strong possibility that two
conference championships, the western
and Southern, may be settled this
Saturday. Northwestern and Michigan
IN the Western Conference and Georgia
and Tulane ii the Southern. Michigan
and Northwestern are the only unde-
1eated elevens in the Big Ten, while
Georgia and Tulane, Alabama excepted,
hold the same status In the Southern.
Both these games ought to be among
the best played Of the season.
Tulane has another great eleven, all
though its position at the Southwestern
tip Of the Southern Conference brings
IL little attention here. Georgia has
played more games in the North and
consequently is better known, but
Tulane probably has almost as good an
eleven as Georgia and may win. North
western generally is regarded as the
favorite In the Western Conference,
although Michigan's stock has risen
considerably since its defeat Of Harvard.
Local schools yesterday had almost q
DAY Of rest, little practice being In
dulged In by any of them. Georges
town and Maryland gave their regulars
. complete rest and did very little with
other members Of the squad. The Blue
and Gray, starting its season with d
poor outlook, now Is riding on the crest
Of the wave after two sensational VIC
tories, and figures it has only to hold its
present form to stand an even chance
IN its remaining games. OF course,
Coach Tom Mills Is not minimizing In
his own mind In any way the strength
of New York University. However,
Georgia showed that the Gothamites
can be whipped by a fighting. cour-
aseous team, and in these two respects
Mills thinks his men do not have to bow
70 anybody.
Maryland has its work cut out for it
at Norfolk against Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. as it seems that the Blacks-
burg students during their slaughter Of
virginia last week set up the battle cry
m the stands. Come on, Maryland!"
Maryland thinks 1t has at least an even
chance.
Catholic y. at Manhattan. George
Washington at Albright and Gallaudet
at Langley Field constitute the other
games, and not one is likely to see any
thing except the local teams struggling
with all their might and main against
opponents worthy Of their best
