BEST ROUTE FOR AUTOMOBILES
TO JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

Augustus Post. the automobile path
finder of the American Automobile Assoc
citation, has written from Norfolk saying
that after making an exhaustive investiga-
ton of all the highways between Washing
ton and Norfolk he has finally decided TO
recommend the famous Shenandoah valley
turnpike as the best to the Jamestown ex-
position, and that he has no doubt that the
report to be made at the regular fall meet
ing of the association will be adopted. Mr..
Post will be member of the Gldd1n party.
which will make a trip to the exposition
during the early part of the summer.
Mr. Post says that the route from Wash
ington to Richmond through the Shenan-
doah valley is one of the most delightful
and picturesque in the country. The dis
lance Is about 4Jo miles, and practically all
of the roadway is of fine macadam. being
superior to many city park driveways. The
tour of the association with the Glidden
party is to start at Chicago, Indianapolis
and Columbus, Ohio, and Mr.. Post says
that over 125 cars will participate, carrying
from $50 to 375 and possibly 400 tourists,
most of whom are men and women of great
wealth. There is no doubt of their being
received along the route in Virginia with
that old-time hospitality for which the
state Is noted.

has enjoyed since the old one, which was
situated in an open shed, and was torn
down ten or fifteen years ago. The track

Of the main building of the university.

NEW GYMNASIUM OF
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY

built Of brick and iron work. and Is to be
steam heated. The roof is made Of glass.
SO that there will be plenty OF light.
The basement Of the building will con-
tain two rooms at each end, one for foot
ball and the other for base ball, and each
will contain lockers. There will also be
twenty-one shower baths in these rooms.
In the center Of the basement will be the
instructing room for boxing. fencing and
rowing. On the second floor, which will be

1t is expected that the new gymnasium at
the Georgetown University when completed
will be one of the finest in this part Of
the country. Everything is practically
finished with the exception Of the laying of
the hardwood floor. and II no unforeseen
difficulties arise it is expected the building
will be completed and the gymnasium APP
paratus installed by October 1.
The new gymnasium. which Is situated
just north of the main building OF the
Georgetown University, was built by the
athletic authorities from a fund OF $4,000
presented by Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan Of this
city. The site Of the building Is on the
old tennis courts, and the erection Of the
building was begun about April l, this year.
The building Is about 100 feet long, from
north to south, and about 80 feet wide.

cause the English game has been found to
be fully as rough as the college game
which II had supplanted. The California
team has been practicing the game for sew
eral weeks, and the players there are al
most unanimously opposed to 1t as sub
stitute for the American game. When the
California authorities abolished foot Dali
they stipulated that the ban might be lifted
in one year if the American game under the
new rules eradicated the evils complained
of a year ago. AS it is quite evident that
foot ball is to be vastly improved under the
new rules, the California players hope to
play it In 1907 once more.
Both California and Columbia have found
much trouble in arranging a schedule or
games to be played this fall. The English
game is practically unknown in this coun-
try and there are very few organized teams.
AT best they cannot secure more than three
or four games. and this number is entirely
too small to either interest the students or
demonstrate the value of the game. II the
English rugby ever gets a foothold in this
country it will only be after it has been
modified In many ways.
The Training Table.
Apropos of the reforms which are to be
introduced into the game of foot ball this
year. the training table will get its share
of it. In the middle west the training table
has been virtually tabooed by the big
Nine" Such radical action as this has not
been taken in the east. but at nearly all the
institutions of the big Five the order has
gone forth to pare down. The Yale faculty
made special investigation of the situa-
ton at New Haven and decided that the
Undergraduates had been spending alto
gether too much money on their foot ball
teams, their diet, trips and other luxur1es
AS result fewer athletes have been taken
to the training table and the price of the
table board has been greatly reduced. The
students have accepted conditions with
good grace, admitting that they had been
extravagant. Similar action as that at Y ale
has been taken at Pennsylvania and Har-
ward, though Princeton and Cornell have
announced no changes.
Much sympathy is expressed for the coll
legians of the middle west. who must worry
along without the training table, which
they contend is absolute necessity II
athletes are to do themselves justice in
trying to uphold the honor OF their Anna
Matters
You can't play foot ball If you don't
have enough to eat" says Coach Yost of
Michigan. How to get around this edict OF
the faculty is the problem OF the western
coaches. 1t is quite likely that they Will
do it just as they got around the rule
which prohibited preliminary practice be-
fore the last week in September. Although
the western institutions have announced
that their practice will not begin before
this coming week, it is to be observed that
the coaches have been on to the scheme Tor
several weeks and have been holding prac-
tice in secret for some time. And no one
blames them for 1t. either.
