if the serious tide, is exaggerated
on every side, and Sol Metzger
will tell readers of The Washing

story,for an incident at Annap
olis is'described, bringing in some
College Park boys. -
Brown, tomorrow, at. Boston, Is
wasting no time. Though heavy snow
was falling, the Hanoverians went
through their signal practice and then
engaged in a short scrimmage. They're
rugged fellows, these Hanoverians.
Fritz Pollard, Brown's colored half
back, is Ineligible to play for the
Brunonlans this "year, but he is doing
good work on the second eleven.
Hardly a day passes but brings with
it a story of his prowess against the
varsity.

Naval Reserves game at Brooklyn
tomorrow. Edward B. Cochems, of
Wisconsin, a former coach In the

Johnny McGraw is able to purchase
Al Mamaux from the Pittsburgh Pi

Mathewson, manager of the Redland-

up a winner here, and he thinks Ma
maux win greatly strengtnen nis
mound staff for 1918.
Barney Dreyfuss, thus far. has not
given Matty much hope of obtaining
Mamaux. but the pitcher has gone on
record as refusing to play In Pitts
burgh again, and so Barney may
listen to reason during the annual
session next month in New York.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
TO CLOSE SERIES
Business and Technical wind up the
high school championship football
series in Central High School stadium
today. The Tech lads are picked to
win by a goodly margin, as Business
has shown nothing to warrant the
prediction that it will stand' a ghost
of a chance to even score on Tech
by straight football.
The Manual Trainers are expecting
to defeat Business by at least four
touchdowns, and are in better shapr
now than they have been for some
weeks.
Tech will put Its best team on the
field. Johnny Barnes, Tech's cap
tain, who sustained a broken leg
early in the year, will probably be
In the line-up. Gurevlch has been
shifted to fullback and Shrider to
quarter.

FRED RICE SAYS "OIED,"
THREE O'BRIENS ANSWER
Any time Coach Rice, of- the Cath
olic University hollers, "Oh, Ed
O'Brien?" he gets a triple reply.
There are three of them.
This is a fact, "posltlvel," as Able
says, and one of the most unusual
things ever happening on an athletic
team. Trying out for C U. in basket
ball are three O'Brien boys, and each
one is named Ed O'Brien. They are
no relation to each other, and, save
for a-sllght trace of Hibernian blood,
are different as could be Imagined in
build and characteristics.
Now, Ed L. O'Brien is the captain
of the Catholic University basketball
team, and as Don McKIaney, manager-elects
Is near the Eiffel tower,
in Paris, w,ith. the American expedi
tionary force, Ed W. O'Brien is man
ager of the team. '
Third One Tries Out.
The third Ed O'Brien, whose name
is Ed A. O'Brien. Is trying out for the
varsity along with Ed L. and W. The
three Eds, one mlgnt almost say
Three Graces, stand an excellent
chance of making the varsity, accord
ing to reports.
Capt. Ed OBrien was one of the
best forwards in the South Atlantic
sestlon last year, and Ed W. O'Brien
played guard awhile last year. The
third Ed Is trying for forward tbla
year. If all tnree crurlena land
berths on the varsity the official
scorer is going to have a tough time
of it in the Intercollegiate Basketball
League.
Never Saw Each Other.
The Catholic University captain
halls from Northampton, Mass. Man
ager Ed W. O'Brien comes from
Troy, N. T.. and Ed A. O'Brien comes
from up Springfield, Mass- wsy. So
far as can be learned, none of the
O'Briens ever heard of each other be
fore landing at C U.
Gallaudet will make no appoint
ment of basketball coach until the
football season is over. It is thought
that Fred Moore, who Is handling the
football eleven at present, will take
charge of the tossers as soon as he
gets through on the gridiron. Gal
laudet will have Kenneth Wlllman,
who played center and guard, as cap
tain this season. Henry S. Austin is
msnager of the basketball team.
"Reds" Wilson and "Baldy" Heist
are the only veterans fro-n last year's
basketball team at George Washing
ton University. Charle Allen, who
played for awhile last J ear, is man
ager of the team this season. Heist
Is the probable selection as captain
this year as Harmon, captain elect
and center last year, failed to re
turn. Coach Curley Byrd, of Maryland
State, ssys he will have difficulty In
putting a team on the floor this win
ter. Many State boys will leave for
the third officers reserve camp slated

for January, it is understood. More
than fifty men have left State since
October 1 to enlist in some branch
of the service.
Two Western High School lads,
Donald Herron and Johnny Johnstone,
of the basketball team of last season,
are trying out for the G. W, U. team
under coacu Bertram Groesbeck.
Georgetown has already slated fe
basketball game with the Allentown
ambulance corps, team to be played
In Allentown on February 7. " The
Allentown quint will probably lack nb
opponents during the winter.
There Is a big gap in the District
Intercollegiate Basketball schedule
from December IS to January 12, oc
casioned by the fact that the colleges
stage their mid-year examinations
and the annual Christmas holidays in
tervene. The fact that Georgetown Univer
sity has announced lta annual track
meet to be staged in Convention Hall
will probably start activities on the
boards as soon as the date is an

HARVARD HOCKEY TEAM
WANTSTO.PLAY GAMES
CAMBRIDGE. Mass- Nov. 23. Har
vard may place an informal hockey
team on the Ice, after all. xnere is
a movement among the students with
this end In view, and W. J. Louder
back, goal tender on the freshman
team last year, with others, has
talked over the situation witn -Manager
Lombard, of the Boston Arena.
The university authorities are not
disposed to favor such a team, but In
all probability will not Interfere it
the students themselves decide to go
ahead. The plan of the athletic of

with the olck of the company players
meeting; neighboring schools, men
an informal team on the ice. Harvard
can play as many games this winter
as In the past. It not more, dui iney
will be against prep school teams,
and probably put on In tha afternoon
at the Boston rink.
A number of last year's freshman
team are In college. Including Walker,
thebrllllant captain. None of the 1917
varsity returned this fall. If the
powers behind the formation of the
Informal! win out, the team will
probably be coached by theolayers
themselves.
