Wesleyan and Navy played to a

COLONIAL COACH
RESTS VETS

Satisfied that his regulars are
in top condition, Coach PiXlee this
week is centering his attention on
the reserves of his George Wash
ington varsity squad. Yesterday
he sent them against the fresh
men in a Scrimmage and plans to
repeat the process again today.
The Colonial reserves have seen
little service in the past three
games, and the Colonial mentor
is anxious to have them ready for
use Saturday night against Salem
College if he finds that he can
give his regulars a rest.
While the reserves are toiling
arduously the regulars are far
from loafing, but are being
kept out of the contact work.
Everything else in the line of prac-
tice is part of their daily work.
= lot of Time is being devoted to
perfecting the execution of plays
and in smoothing up the forward
passing attack.

For Idle

Arrangements are to be COM
pleted by the Central &C" Club
for a charity game December q
between the Central eleven and
Washington and Lee High School,
of Ballston, Va.
The contest, originally Sched-
uled as the &C" Clubs annual
football attraction, was turned
into a charity affair when nego.
tiations were satisfactorily COM
pleted with officials at Washing.
ton and Lee High, after a meet
ing Of the &C" Club last night.
Plans Are Complete
Sylvan King, football chairman
of the &C" Clue, is in charge of
arrangements. All plans have
been completed for the actual
playing of the game, according to
King with the exception. of final
approval from DR.. Harvey A.
Smith, principal at Central, and
E. C.. Graham, chairman of the
District of Columbia Committee
on Unemployment. Their sane
ton is expected to be forthcom-
ing today.
There is no question in the
minds of &C" Club officials about
the interest which the game will
draw. Central and Washington
and Lee have been torrid rivals
for many years and have put
on" spirited battles each time
they have met
Central Is Stronger
The Mt. Pleasanters were de-
feated by their Ballston oppon-
entS last year, but as the Blue
and White possess much stronger
team this season, a turn of the

Washington and Lees record
for the season is quite imposing.
The Little Generals" have not
lost O game to date, and have in
cluded several local high schools
as their victims.
The proceeds, after expenses
have been deducted, will be
turned over to the unemploy-
ment relief fund. Another meet
ing of the &C" Club will be held
shortly in conjunction with com.
mittee members from Washington
and Lee High, and the employ

ing of final plans for the affair.

'BAMA MEETS
G. v. HERE
NEXT YEAR
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


There will be no interruption to
the Georgetown-W Western Mary
land football series as the Green
Terrors and Hilltoppers will clash
October % next year in the Balti-
more Stadium.
It will mark the fourth meeting
between the two elevenS, the Ter
rors coming here in 1923, and jolt
ing Lou Little's team, TO, at the
Hilltop.
The 1880 game, contested in
Baltimore went to Western Merry
land by a 10-to-0 tally but George
town turned the tables on Dick
Harlow's boys this year, winning,
25-7, at the Griffith Stadium.
Bitter Defeat
The defeat was bitter for West
ern Maryland being the first in %
games. Previously, Western Mary
land had collected IS victories in
27 engagements, two of which
ended in deadlockS.
Though the signed contract has
not reached Athletic Director
James E. Pixlee, there is every as
surance that Alabama and George
Washington University will meet
here in a football game on Octo-
Der 8, 1882, in connection with the
Bicentennial. The contest looms
as Washingtn's greatest football
attraction since the Penn State
Navy game of 1922.
Game Headlines Schedule
The Alabama game is the head
liner of a George Washington
University schedule which also
includes contests with Iowa and
Oklahoma as high spots. Iowa,
which defeated the Colonials by
a 10 score at Iowa City last
Saturday, will come here October
20. The Oklahoma game will be
played on Thanksgiving Day.
Georgetown, preparing for the
Bucknel skirmish, has been fur
ther incapacitated. Donoghue,
halfback, is quartered in the
Georgetown Hospital with a high
fever. Viskovitch, another half
back, suffered a wrenched shoul-
der in yesterdays scrimmage.
Callahan, regular center, was
also injured and may not play
Saturday. Jim Patterson, sub
fullback, was another suffering
injuries.
Maryland Gridmen
The Maryland footballers de-
parted today for Nashville, Tenn,
where they stack up against
Vanderbilt on Saturday. It's a
team of iron men," this 1881
varsity aggregation wearing the
Black and Old Gold colors. Coach
Curley Byrd has used but four
or five substitutes all season and
there are several regulars who
have played every minute OF
every game.
Charlie May will probably re-
main at quarterback, though the
injured AL Woods has recovered.
Woods, however, may be kept for
emergency purposes and called
to action in case Maryland men
aces the Vandy goal. A victory
over Vanderbilt would give Mary
land the highest position it has
ever gained in the Southern Con-
ference football world.

the new marks, it was announced

In the same breaLh IN
which Connie has said he is
to concentrate on building up
his reserve strength during the
winter, cutting loose men who
did the club no particular good
either as field substitutes or
pinch hitters, he has said that
in about a week he will have
an announcement to make
which will be far more impor-
tant than his utterance about
bolstering the supporting cast

GEORGETOWN Backfield Star 1908

Georgetown Backfield Star 1908
Two games fraught with i'm
portance for two of the major
elevens of the District are on
tap Saturday following meager
attractions for the last two
weeks.
GEORGETOWN meets Bucknell, and
Catholic University clashes with
Manhattan College.
In a third encounter. slated
for Saturday night, George Wash
ington tackles Salem College in
the Clark Griffith Stadium.
GEORGETOWN, still badly Grip
pied, will have its hands full
with Bucknell, and may again
meet defeat.
Catholic University, provided it
does not attach too much signifi-
canoe to the recent tie between
Manhattan and City Colleee OF
New York, should win and gain
further gridiron prestige.
George Washington should en-
counter no particular difficulty
with Salem.
Two Dangerous Spots
Georgetown and c. u. how
ever, are in dangerous spots Sat-
urdav. The former by now is
team fighting mad. 1t must be
Just that if it hopes to win over
Bucknell, which is fresh from
scoreless tie with Villanova.
Catholic University may enter
it's game with Manhattan over
confident. If the Cardinals over
develop their present ideal super
iority complex there will be sor-
row at Brookland Saturday night.
Technically there is much to be
desired in the offenses of both
GEORGETOWN and c. U. Mills and
Bergman each have lost a key
cog in their attacks and probably
will not be able to replace them
out o. their squads to gain any
improvement.
Mills has been less fortunate
than Bergman in that the injury
jinx has followed him ever since
the Western Maryland game.
Defense Has Cracked
Georgetown's defense this sea.
son to date has had tendency
to crack under pressure. This is
natural for a team struggling url-
der the load of injuries. Against
Michigan State, however, the
Blue and Gray were strong de-
fensively.
Bucknell's offense will not be
as heavy as Michigan States
was, but it will be hard to stop.
It is the Georgetown offenSe
which must click Saturday. The
Hoya attacks is there. One of
these days it will click and the
result will be the wrecking Of
some team.
C. us off tackle smash and
sweep end run should go well
against Manhattan. If Whelan
has his usual good day the Card
inalS may run up a sizeable score
against the visiting team, al
though John Laws teams are
generally very capable defen-
Sively.
The Cardinals, like George
town, must click more consis-
tently on attack. Each play Of
each team this weekend should
be called with the intent not Of
scoring, but of demoralizing the
enemy.
The Georgetown -Bucknell bat
tie and the c. U.-Manhattan
games should prove most inter.
