THOMPSON FOR COLUMBIAN.
Well-Known Athletic Manager to Re-
main in Washington.

There Is a great probability that Column
bian University will secure the services of
NJ. ]. Thompson, late graduate manager at
Georgetown, for the position of director of
athletics. For years the students of CO.
lumbar have been making attempts to
have their alma mater assume leading po-
sition in the athletic world but have not
been successful The Orange and Blue in
stitution with a student body over three
times as great her sister university
across Rock creek has had foot ball and
base ball teams nearly every season, but
only once in about every five years have
these branches been successful. The fail
ure of the teams is justly attributed to the
lack of head of athletics.
Now that the university has secured Van
Ness Park as a future building site a great
handicap of the past. lack of practice
grounds. has been overcome and the stu
dents are justified in expecting a great
athletic revival in foot ball, base ball and
track sports.
Georgetown and Columbian are natural
rivals. Situated in a great city. each univer-
sity has a large following of friends and
rooters. On Thanksgiving day. 1898. when
Columbian succeeded in playing a game
with Georgetown which was decided only
in the last two minutes Of play, the Blue
and Gray winning by a score of II to 9. 1T
was thought that the Orange and Blue had
that Washingtonians would see the two
universities meet annually on the gridiron.
But there was no head to athletics and the
great game soon became memory. Last
spring Columbian again gave her rival a
great surprise when the base ball team
played the Blue and Gray a to 2 game,
which was decided in the ninth inning.
Columbia University. New York, Is stu
ated very similarly to the local institution,
and for years her athletics amounted to lit
tie. But with the coming of Morlay, her
foot ball captain, great revival occurred.
This man took entire charge. and although
1t is but five years ago Columbia Is now one
of the great athletic universities.
M. ]. THOMPSON seems to be the man
needed by Columbian He is an authority
on all matters pertaining to athletics and is
a thorough business man. That he did good
work at GEORGETOWN Is admitted by all.
When he took charge the finances Of the
Athletic Association were in a deplorable
state. while the purity of athletics was
questioned on all sides. But he made money
for the association and by enforcing the ell
gibility rules placed the Blue and Gray in
a better light In the intercollegiate world
President Needhan realizes that athletics
are useful and necessary auxiliaries to the
lege spirit and serve to keep alive interest
in the alma mater. Mr.. Thompson is now
at his home in Waterbury. Conn. but 1t is
believed that within a short time arrange
ments will be made to have him In charge
of athletics at Columbian. The candidates
for the Orange and Blue foot ball team
commence practice within short time, but
without competent director in charge lit
tie success will attend their efforts.

was far from satisfactory, and he was
duly impressed with how difficult 1t

mind. But at least one man. who was
stranded near the door Of big Bos-

wife, witnessed an incident which
cheered his spirit.
Near him was handkerchief coun-
ter, and as he idly watched the tide
Of women surging round 1t. his glance
was arrested by remarkably pretty
and somewhat conspicuous blue jack
ct, curiously braided in black. He
gazed at 1t with approval for some
moments, as the wearer's back was
toward him most of the time.
AT last he looked away. AS he
turned his eyes toward the door, his
glance fell upon another blue jacket
exactly like the first The woman who
was wearing it was just entering the
store. He glanced back to the hand
kerchief counter. There was the
other jacket, and what was more,
the eyes of the woman who wore it
were fixed on the approaching coun-
terpart of her own garment. AS she
looked. an expression Of anger and
disgust crossed her face, and the man
who was waiting said to himself,
"There's trouble ahead"
The two women approached each
other slowly, but with evident inten-
ton. The wearer of the second jack
ct had conciliatOry air as she pre-
tended to examine a fur scarf that
hung near the door.
"She won't speak unless the other
one does" thought the man, but he
was mistaken. When the woman from
the handkerchief counter reached her,
the other suddenly turned with smile
on her face.
