Virginiaand Maryland Plan Big Game : Carnival Ends Season - LOOK FOR GRID CONTEST TO FEATURE SCHEDULES Old Dominion Institution This Season Is Expected to Develop One of the Strongest Elevens in History of Foot Ball at Charlottesville. BY H: C. BYRD. IRGINTA and Maryland plan to build up one of the big foot ball games of the South out of their meeting October 24 at Charlottes- ville. The present arrangement between Virginia and Maryland calls for two contests, at Charlottesville this in 1926. An arrangement in which Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland figure provides each school with one big game at home each year. Mary- land plays at Virginia this Fall, Virginia plays at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina at Maryland. Maryland hopes eventually to effect an arrange- ment by which it will meet both Virginia and North Carolina in/ Wash- ington This Fall Virginia is making the Maryland game its home coming, and is putting in 2,700 extra seats to take care of what it expects will be one of its largest crowds. Next Fall when Virgimia comes here Maryland expects to make the event one of tie biggest in the history of foot ball in this section. With prospects for a strong team Virginia is looking forward to the coming with more optimism than it has known since the \great eleven of 1915.

To use a well worn expression, there is “one more kick in the old mare,” from a local standpoint. The ray Fall tournament of the District Ten- nis League, which ends today with the finals at Columbia Country Club, usually clpses the season for Washington enthusiasts, but this year an added attraction is offered in the intercity matches which are being plan- ned between picked teams from the tennis league and Baltimore Country Club. Keen interest has been evinced by both the Washington and the Oriole players in the inauguration of this series, which it is hoped will be made an annual affair. The team representing Washington probably will consist of Louise Kelley, Frances Krucoff, Frances Walker, Helen Sinclair, Mary Hall and Corinne Frazier. The Baltimore team, as an- nounced by the tennis chairman at the Baltimore Country Club, probably will fnclude Mrs. C. H. Boehm, Mary- land State champion; Eleanor Cott- D. C. Wharton-Smith, nn, Mrs. Robert Merrick and Mary Cromwell. The date of the opening match has not yet been set, but it probably will take place next week. There will be three meetings, the first in Baltl- more, the second in Washington and the thitd on the courts of the team winning the toss-up. Six singles and three doubles matches will be carded at each meeting. Another late riote is sounded on the tenni® trumpet with the announce- ment that Washington, Athletic Club will hold & Fall tournament, opening Tuesday afternoon, on the Henry Park courts at Sixth and B streets northwest. Becky Krommah, chafrman of the committee, has announced the draw- ings and the sghedule of matches. All matches will begin promptly at 1:45, except those scheduled for Sep- tember 15. On that date matches will begin at 5:45. ° Players are to turn in their scores to Miss Kronman immedlately after their matches are played.

Even while the 1925 tennis season is teecering on the brink of the grave, a few sages have a weather eye fixed on the prospects for 1926. And some claim to see a banner year in view their propheex heing based primarily upon the announgement riade by Max Decugis, captajn of the French Davis Cup team, which just concluded its sesies of matches with the American stars at Philadelphia M. Decugis declared that the famous Syzanne will invade America once more. She will “try her luck” Forest Hills when the international stars gather for our national event, which is fast becoming worthy of a world championship ratng.
