M son a matter of finished
v v business, directors of ath-
letics in local colleges are
bending their efforts to wind up their
schedules for next year.
Georgetown, it is understood, has
completed its list of contests, while
Maryland is in the same position ex-
cept for Thanksgiving date left open
when Johns Hopkins finally deter
mined not to give much attention to
foot ball.
George Washington and Catholic
University are busy with their nego-
tiations while Gallaudet and American
University plan to play about the same
opponents they met the past season.
GeorgetoWn's schedule, although
complete, has not yet been announced.
1t is said that it will play New York
University again and that Maryland
also is down for another setto.
One of Maryland's big contests next
Fall is to be with Indiana in Balti-
more. George Washington has an ex-
Alabama for october 5.
No Systematic Scheduling.
MO EFFORT is being made by the
N local universities and colleges to
arrange games in any way to
avoid conflicts such as existed last
Fall when George Washington met
Vanderbilt, Catholic University played
Western Maryland and Maryland
faced Virginia all the same afternoon.
The local schools might take a cue
from the three big colleges in North
Carolina-Duke, North Carolina State
and North Carolina University-which
are working out their schedules to-
gether so that there will not be two
big games in that triangle the same
afternoon.
Virginia, washington and Lee, Vir-
ginia Military Institute and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute met here two
weeks ago to go over their schedules
for 1886 and 1887 to avoid conflicts
among themselves.
1t is not known what conflicts may
develop here next Fall, as those han
ding the schedules of local UNIVERSE
ties are not saying much about what
they are doing. But it is expected
that Catholic University will play
Western Maryland here again That
should be big game, and it ought to
be fairly easy for the other schools to
give the Brooklanders clear field.
Then Catholic University could recip-
rocate on some other dates.
In schedule making, though, the
situation here is somewhat different
from that in any other city. Six
colleges have home fields, and it
probably would be next to impossible
to avoid all conflicts, but it ought not
to be difficult to avoid major ones.
More New Year Games.
TINE Rose Bowl foot ball game at
Pasadena seems to be the stimu-
luS for other contests of the
same type in the South on New Year
day. New Orleans is staging one to
be played between Temple University
and Tulane, this to be known as the
Sugar Bowl game. The city of Miami
also is trying to get an opponent for
the University of Miami for a New
Orange Blossom Festival game.
4 GOOD deal of conjecturing al
~ ready has begun as to the posi-
bility of Alabama beating STAN
ford at the Rose Bowl. Those that
know the Alabama eleven are of the
opinion that Alabama should win. A
more versatile offense and a generally
superior squad is granted Alabama by
some people familiar with both Ala
bama and Stanford.
1t really is too early yet to foretell
what may happen. Weather condi-
tlons, injuries or any number of
things may enter into the situation
between now and New Year day to
lessen considerably the chances of one
eleven and enhance the chances of
the other.
