partureS from recent years IN the
matter of schedules. Whatever
may be the result, it is apparent
that at least three, possibly four,
of the universities that play their
home games here are making
great efforts net only to broaden
the scope of their competition
geographically, but also to change
the aspect of their lists of games
even among the schools that are
played in this more or less i'm
mediate section.
Nobody who has charge of athletics
in a local college is more thoroughly
dissatisfied with the schedule his scnool
plays than is Dutch" Bergman of
Catholic University. Bergman said
early last Fall that his main job at
G. U. for the first year or two was to
try to get a more comprehensive list
of games, and he has been working
along that line. New alliances in foot
ball, of course, are not made at the
drop of the hat, but Bergman is making
progress, and it is likely that c. u.
will face some new opponents in 1882,
and by 1888 the whole aspect OF its
schedule may be almost new.
George Washington has given out
very little of what its intentions are,
but apparently is going in for games
almost everywhere or possibly to put
1t more aptly, anywhere, because no
school could play everywhere. How
ever, it seems to be the intention of
the present schedule makers at G. w.
to play much larger schools than 1t
has heretofore met and to cover a much
broader territory.
Georgetown in recent years has had
quite a problem with its schedule, play
ing many difficult teams. Georgetown
does not mind its opponents being
strong but it would like to have some
of the strong elevenS it faces repre-
sent larger universities. For one rea-
son or another, Tom Mills started to
inaugurate at Georgetown a different
schedule policy, and it is understood he
was making some Roadway, but schedule
making has been turned over to Grad
uate Manager Murphy. The presunp-
ton is that Murphy will follow along
the lines laid down by Mills.
Maryland is the other school which
contemplates some changes. The Old
Liners are well satisfied with the COM
petition they have in the Southern
Conference, but probably will adopt
policy which may result in the playing
of fewer teams in the State of Mary
land and alternating them so as to
bring into the schedule each year one
intersectional contest. OF course, games
with the Southern Conference institu-
ton and the Navy probably will con-
tinue to form the backbone OF the
Maryland list.
1t will be a great surprise II, within
the next two or three years. many new
teams do not come to Washington. The
new alignments now being sought by
local schools. If some of them are con-
%.I rI1 fyiN n
followers more attractive games than
they have ever had.
The Foot Ball Rules Committee, which
has Just finished its midwinter session,
evidently is carrying out its expressed
intention, and the recommendation
made to it by the association OF foot
ball coaches, not to tamper with the
rules. Only one change, and that so
slight 1t is hardly TO be noticed, has
been effected That has to do with the
kicking of a goal from try for point
after touchdown. Heretofore, II the de-
fensive team committed a foul the Of
fensive eleven was given the point
whether or not 1t actually earned a
score. II the offensive team commit
ted foul then there was no score cred
tied even If the score were made. Next
Fall, though, If one Of the teams COM
NIT a foul the penalty will be inflicted,
exactly as it would be on any other play
in another part of the field. If the Of
fenSive team commits the foul the pen
atty will be inflicted and second try
for point allowed. II the defensive
team commit the foul then that team
will be penaliZed half the distance TO
the goal line and another try for point
allowed, unless the first try were sue
cessful and the penalty refused This
seems to be a more equitable way of
-, lie No. h. rl1
provided. With the exception of this
change, the code next Fall is to be the
same as that which governed the game
last season.
Baltimore University comes over here
to engage Catholic University in the
