TN THIS new dear era the
Nationals are promised one
as regards preseason con-
ditioning work for the 1884
campaign.
Announcement already made
that exhibitions with the Chi
cago Cubs have been listed for
April 7 and 8 at Wrigley Field
probably will be followed soon
by the release of other choice
bookings against opponents of
comparable strength, to the
end that the American League
champions may be primed for
the arduous task of defending
their titular status.
Over a period of many years
the Washington club has la
bored under the handicap of
lacking testing opponents dur
ing its Spring conditioning
period, due to the relative. in
accessibility of it's camp at
Biloxi, Miss, and the ban
which previously existed
against American League teams
meeting in any save regular
season contests.

Unraveling the Mystery

Unraveiing the Mystery.
TT MIGHT be interesting to unravel
some of the mysteries Of 1888 foot
ball. It's all simple enough. For
exampls:
Georgia Tech, George Washington
and Duke all trim Auburn. Then
Auburn turns and beats an unbeaten,
united Georgia team.
Washington runs up six first downs
to California's five. Washington PUSHES
and passes the ball for 1875 yards to
CALIFORNIA; 125. California beats Wash
ington, $50.
Minnesota and Stanford can't score
on Northwestern. Notre Dame doesnt
score against Kansas. Pittsburgh.
Carnegie Tech. Navy and Purdue. Than
Notre Dame scores on Northwestern.
Stanford scores a total of only 3
points against U. c. L. A, Northwestern
and Washington, and then runs up IL
points against Southern California.
The Washington team that beat
Stanford 60 lost to California by $50,
and vet Stanford Is an even bet against
California this week.
This is only starter. But you can
see from this how simple 1t all Is.
October and November Strength.
TN WORKING out your lunches and
your prophecies, it is just as well
to remember there often IS wide
gap between October and November
strength along the foot ball front.
For example. Columbia Tennessee:
Stanford, Pittsburgh and Tulane have
been far more powerful in November
battles than they were in october.
Against this, Michigan and MINI esota
have begun to show the effects OF bat.
tering schedules and have lost some OF
their earlier steam.
In this matter of national ranking
not nearly enough attention is paid
to the types of schedules PLAYED.
Taking no credit from the fine teams
of Army, Princeton and Duke. suppose
any one of these teams had to face
Northwestern's schedule-Iowa, Stan
ford. Indiana, Ohio State, Minnesota,

rivals.

ties with Brooklyn among
the two dozen odd tits
staged prior to the start of
the league race, the others
being with minor league teams
incapable of furnishing the
type of opposition considered
essential to adequate prepa-
ration.
This situation is expected
to be remedied next Spring,
when, il plans now IN the max

the skirmishes staged by the
Griffmen before the pennant
race gets under way will be
with major foes.
Although the Washington

He is 23year-old Tom Ottey, lanky
blond from Ardmore, Pa. who outstep-
ped field of lib in the classic yester-
day and paved the way for his school,
Michigan State, to capture the team
championship, which never before had
gotten further West than Pittsburgh.
Ottey was clicked in 30 minutes fiat
for the gruelling course in Van Cort-
landt Park as he beat Joe Mangan of
Cornell, intercollegiate mile champion
in 1892 by 20 yards and duplicated the
feat of Clark 'Chamberlin, another
Michigan State star. who won the in
dividual crown three years ago.
Ottey took the lead before the first
mile was over and held it throughout

Colby finished third, rs yards behind
Mangan; Tom Russell of Manhattan

burton's work stood out.
Against Washington State he
broke up a tight ball game with
dashes of rs and 80 yards to touch

lateral which put the ball on the s.
yard line for Troy's first touchdown
against st. Marys.
In the Oregon State game he spon-
sored the attack which took the ball
to the Beaver 15-yard line in the

him out to put more power and beef
into the backfield and the drive
ended there.

California single-handed. The pic

From Coach Jones such remark
about a player, not to mention a

senior stars ever rated that much.
