SEITZ DEBARRED
At LAST MOMENT
Georgetown Decides He's
Had -Four Years.
FRESHMAN YEAR RECALLED
Part of Football Game and One Race
Constituted Year of Athletics.
Blow to Team.
FRESHMAN YEAR RECALLED

Charley Seitz. of Georgetown Univer-
sity. and the champion indoor spTinter
of America, was yesterday afternoon
declared by the lately reorganized ath-
letic association ineligible TO represent
his alma mater in college athletics.
II was learned yesterday that Seitz
has had four years of college athletics.
In 1901 the soriuter enrolled as student
OF the Blue and Gray, having formerly
attended Fordham Preparatory School.
He was a football player, and although
he did not make the varsity eleven he
was one of the first among the subs
and in the game with Virginia Military
Institute in the fall Of his freshman
term he was put in because of an injury
TO one of the regulars. The following
spring he ran the fifty in the annual
Georgetown meet q gainst men from No
tire Dame and University of North Car
olina-
Blow to Team.
Seitz also competed in the indoor
games of 1903, %. and %. besides being
a member OF the crew which went up
against the Naval Academy in the an
nual regatta between the Two. These
facts. while they were perhaps known,
had not been thought Of until Father
Macksey began an Investigation last
week AS soon as the matter had been
thoroughly looked into, Manager Les
lie Brennan was nOtihed that according
to the four-year-rule. Seitz is barred.
The athlete graduated last spring
with his class, but returned for a post
graduate course, and expected to run
for the university, since 1t was not
thought that one foOtbaIr game and one
race would constitute years part-ci-
patton in athletics.
Seitz won the American indoor cham
piunship at the Madison Square games
.ast year and would undoubtedly have
brolght more. credit 10 the university.
0s he is running ia good form, and is
faster than he has ever been. Il is
most likely that he viii now become

According to the HindOOs, lunar
eclipse is the contact between the
moon and another planet called Rahoo
but the masses believe that, owing to
the will Of God, Rahoo, or the serpent

by it's hideous mouth and releases it
after a short time At first contact

iously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur

MUSKRAT BUILDERS.

1t IL Constructed.

1t IL Constructed.
I have always been told that musk
rat houses mean severe winter. In
stead of sign Of cold weather, the
muskrat house means simply that one
or more muskrats have chosen to live
in the low meadow or at the shallow
head of the pond, where there is no
chance to burrow underground and
have bedroom that cannot be flooded
by the high tides of winter.
These same muskrats. along the steep
banks Of river, would tunnel into the
earth and there dig bedroom out of
reach Of the highest fool They do not
often washed out of their winter beds
by spring freshets.
The house in the meadow is usually
built over a tall. stout tussock, whose
grassy top forms the bed. This is dom
ed over, making large room big
enough for one or for half dozen, ac-
cor'ling to the num,er of muskrats
sharing the work. AT least two open
ings or dives lead from the bed into
open water at the font of the tussock.
And this water never freezes. When
ice forms outside, tn, warmth of the
muskrats' bodies is Sufficient to keep
the doors free. through which the
jewellers shoot at instant alarm, for
these passages lead into winding bur
rows and waterways that run far out

The name ''parliaE,ent' is derived
from the French wjrd "parler,'' to
speak. The word was originally writ
ten ''parlement," as in French. and,
although the spelling has gradually
changed. the pronunciation remains the
same The earliest mention Of the
word parliament" in the English stat
utes is in the preamble to the statute
Of Westminster in 1917. For the origin
of the institution itself we must go
back to Anglo-Saxon times. when 1t

of lords and commons. and the delibera-
