The foot ball representatives Of George
Washington University and Georgetown
University met last evening at the resi-
dence Of Manager Heflebower of George
Washington University. on New Hampshire
avenue and Washington circle. Those
present were Capt. Ben G. Stevenson OF
the George Washington team and Manager
He1ebower, also Of the Buff and Blue team,
Mr.. H. P. Blair. the remaining George
Washington member. being unable to be
present. Georgetown University was rep
resented by Mr.. Aston Cockrell. president
of the athletic association of the univer-
sity; Manager Gerald Egan of the base ball
team of the university and Manager HAM
gan of the foot ball team.
Both sides were expecting that several
players would be challenged to their
eligibility to play in the game this after
noon, but the representatives of the Blue
and Gray announced that Georgetown would
not question the eligibility Of any gridiron
warrior of the George Washington Univer-
sity team. Capt. STEVENSON said that the
only player that the George Washington
management did not want to play in the
contest was Quarterback Bocock Mr..
STEVENSON stated that he did not believe
that Bocock should be played in view Of the
fact that he had been coaching the foot ball
team of Western High School, and that he
quarterback had received remuneration for
his services on the foot bali team at George
town University Manager Hanigan speak
ing for Georgetown, stated that from the
records at Georgetown University 1t was
shown that Bocock had never received any
remuneration for his services. He also
stated that the free scholarships which had
been given by the university did not in
clude the quarterback's name. Manager
Hanigan also stated that the quarterback
had heard of Capt. Steenersons charges
and that he was very wrathy at the George
Washington captain.
This caused lively discussion Steenerson
maintaining that the charges he was MAX
Ing were correct and that II the GEORGETOWN
quarterback wished to find him he knew
where he lived" President Cockrell also
been made against the Georgetown quar-
terback and that he believed them to be
unfounded. 1t was also stated back and
forth that Bocock is one OF the most gen
tiemanly players that has ever played upon
q local gridiron and is a student who is uni
versally liked and respected. His work at
Western was Of the highest order, and the
books Of the Western High School Athletic
paid one cent for his services as the coach
for the Red and White during the present
season. Still Capt. STEVENSON was obdurate
and wanted the Georgetown quarterback
taken from the Blue and Gray line up this
afternoon, but the Georgetown representa-
tives were strongly in favor of Bocock.
and Capt. STEVENSON finally yielded, after
saying that Bocock would play under the
protest of the George Washington manage
ment.
