TWO TEAMS IN A DEADL OCK
LOCAL ELEVENS CANNoTAGREE
ON THANKSGIVING GAME.
Indications Are That the Annual
Contest Will Not Take Place.
G. W. Managers Indignant.

The management of the Georgetown
foot ball team has made demands upon the
George Washington University manage
ment which are Objectionable to the lat
ter. and from indications the annual game
which was scheduled for Thanksgiving
| Cay on Georgetown Field will not be
played.
Manager Ball of the George Washington
team received word from Manager Fitz-
gerald of the Georgetown team several
days ago that stands had been built
on Georgetown Field, and in order to pay
for their erection he proposed to have
Georgetown take GO per cent of the re-
ceipts
Manager Ball at once sent word to the
Georgetown manager that he would not
consider such proposition. He declared
TO Star reporter today that he would
not agree to the terms, for he claimed
that George Washington University is
better drawing card than Georgetown, and
II the athletic advisory committee does
not decide against him he will stick to his
demands He announced that he had al
ready opened negotiations with SWarth
more and several other colleges for a
game on Thanksgiving day at National
Park.
The George Washington manager said
/ further that he would agree to play

ing the winning team take 60 per cent

propose TO pay for the stands on George
town FleId. as, he contends, they are a
permanent fixture. and that if it is com
pelied to pay for them. then Virginia
ought also help nay for them
Manager Fitzgerald of Georgetown said
that the George Washington management
had refused his terms of co and 40 per
/ cent for the game on Thanksgiving day
or an even division for a game the Satur-
day previous, and that he had secured

son of the George Washington Cniver-
sity foot ball team today Then the
leader of the Buff and Blue declared that
the calling off of the Thanksgiving game
between the teams of the two universities
by Manager Fitzgerald of Georgetown
was an apparent effort to eliminate the
sport enjoyed by the annual meeting of
the representatives of the two universi-
ties upon the grdiron.
In years past said Mr. Wilson, "the
athletic Arrangements have agreed on an
even division of the receipts after the
expenses have been paid. Then this year
Georgetown builds new stands and comes
forward at this time with the ultimatum
that If George Washington does not agree
to take 40 per cent of the net receipts
the contest is off. You can just bet it is
off. And it IS going to stay off unless we
play Thanksgiving day, and for haf of
the net receipts.

When it was announced that Gov. Edwin

States senator 1t was generally thought
here that he would have no difhculty in
carving Montgomery county at the SEN
atorial primary election At the outset no
one seemed to care very much whom the
county indorsed. and as the governor was
a resident of an adjoining county and had
numerous personal friends and off1cehold-
ers to look after his interests, II seemed
to be the impression that the other candl-
dates would concede him this county
Former Gov John Walter Smith. however
had other ideas, and a short while ago ne
inauelrated a determined fight for the

his favor grew very rapidly, and, 1t Is
said. has assumed such proportions as TO
cause much uneasiness in the camp or

In Defense of the Teachers.

10 the Editor or The Star:
In the controversy over sanitary condi-
tons in our public schools between the
president of the board of education and
the building inspector, the former can
well care for himself, but the building in
spector is reported as saying; The trou-
BILE with them De, officers of the schools)
rs that their idea in school structural
work is to see to their own comfort The
comfort and convenience of the children
attending the school is a secondary con-
sideration with them. / often visit schools
that are in urgent need of repairs and
am approached by teachers who more
anxious to have picture holdings or
shelves for flower pots than they are for
f new roof on the schools"
If these aspersions are true. then Off
GERS and teachers should be discharged; If
untrue then the building inspector should
be reprimanded by those in authority
That they are untrue is obvious to any one
who has the merest acquaintance with our
school officers and teachers. And l un-
hestatingly assert that they are unfound-
ed IN fact With a personal acquaintance,
and in many cases a friendship, with
nearly all of the officers and scores upon
scores of our teachers, l know from per-
sOnal knowledge that the officers and
teachers of our schools are working pri-
marily for the benefit and advantage of
our children. There is no more Self-Sa cr1-
fcing body of men and women than Is
found among our public school officers and
teachers, and it is simply outrageous for
one of our public officials who has a con-
troversy with the board of education, and
he may be in the right, to drag in school
officers and teachers who perceive them
selves unjustiy held up, to public obloquy
and must quietly and patiently submit to
detraction and insult without being able
to make any defense.
This letter is unnecessary to those who
know our public school people and the
splendid work they are doing for our chill
dren, but l feel that the building inspect
or's aspersions should not pass unchal-
lenged. w. H. SINGLETON.
