Severance of Relations VIII
Affect Treasury of Both
Schools.

The unofficial announcement, made
tine day after the Thanksgiving game
between Georgetown and George Wash
ington, that athletic relations between
the two universities would be broken
Off, was verified yesterday when the
executive committee OF the Georgetown
University Athletic Association voted to
drop the downtown school from AL
Georgetown schedules.
The executive committee instructed IS
secretary 10 transmit a copy of the eX-
plaEatiOn for this action 10 the George
Washington managers The letter fol-
lows: LAS a result OF observations dur
ing the arrangements for the Tharzs-
giving Day game Of football this year,
emphasized by the indecOrous happen
ings on Georgetown Field on the occa-
sion OF the game, we feel constrained to
forbid the managers OF any OF the attn
letic teams Of Georgetown University to
engage for eny games hereafter WITH
George Washington University. Oh t1S
grounds that there is not sufficient coin
ity between the student bodies CT the
two universities, nor such nice apIrecia-
ton Of the properties OF a public con-
test as would prevent rivalry dcgener-
ating into feud, and save cOD2pet1tlVe
contests from losing the characteristics
tlemen..
Or. Phillips. athletic adviser at George
Washington, declined 20 discdss the
question, and stated that nothing would
be given out at his school until the
letter had been discussed BY the COM
mittee on athletics
The effect cf GeOrgetown's action will
be far-reaching on the athletic associa-
uons at both schCJis, as the annual
Thanksgiving receipts constituted the
chief source Of maintenance Of athletics.
The committee also awarded the G's
to football players as follows: e Fitz-
gerald. manager; Thompson, end; Todd.
tackle; Glennon, guard: Cullen. center;
Woods. guard; Munhall tackle; Miller,

and Conan, who figured conspicuOusly
in the big games the latter part of the
season.

Scott, w. Fitzgerald, Moran, Caine, Van
Emmon, Chapman, Mulcaire, Holiday

shows than in any other city Of its
size IN the country. Many cities, larger
perhaps, but IN which not half as many
machines are sold In a year, have ex-
hibitiOns and races which attract al
most naional attention.
The reason of the lack Of interest
in this city Is the absence Of an ef-
fectlve organization OF the dealers.
They do not seem to understand that
they must first 7rouCo an interest in
the whole subject of automobiles before
they can hope to successfully push any
special brand. The time. for bringing
before the public the merits Of any spe-
cial line of machines is only after a
general interest has been worked up In
the advantages of the automobile itself.
The manufacturers understand this, and
their press bureaus spend enormous
amounts on disseminating general mat
ter about autos in which the name OF
their machine IS never hinted at.
Big Thing for Dealers.
THAT is why this endurance run VIII
be the biggest thing for the dealers
ever pulled off in this city, aside from
the fact that many OF the carz will
be further advertised by making the
run with perfect scores. That is why
The Times is TO be congratulated by
the dealers for bringing the idea 10
a practical working basis. II has done
for them what they have, through their
lack of organization. failed to do FOR
themselves"

The Observer.
On one point entrants seem to be a
bit hazy-that about the provision Ter
a disinterested observer in each car.
The person must be designated IN the
space provided for on the entry blank.
This observer will not ride In the car
OF the contestant by whom he was ap-
pointed. Competitors, while they may
take any number OF persons with them,
must leave room in their car for an
observer.
Questions regarding technical points
OF the machines entered are coming up
daily. and these are being passed upon
by the committee before the entry
blank is accepted. Comm UnicatiOns con-
cerning any requirements OF the run
should be addressed 20 Arthur G. New
meyer at The Times, and will be laid
by him before the committee for action.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4.-The University OF

Coach Stagg has been given 70 under

wish the reform rules changed at this

Sealed Bonnet Endurance Contest on &C
count Of snow, rain, hail, a thunder
storm. and several other remote posi-
bilides.
None OF these, nor anything else short
OF an earthquake. VIII Interfere with
the run. It is strictly an endurance con-
test, and neither the dealers nor The
Times has any desire 20 minimize the
endurance feature OF the competition.
In the words OF one Of the committee;
The run win start promptly at O'Clock
on December 10. whether anyone Is there
or not" That statement is open 70 rea-
sonable doubt, but the principle remains
the same.
Officials Not Named.
Queries have also been received regard
ing the appointment OF starters. timers
and other officials. All these will be
chosen from the committee printed else
where IN these columns, but the exact
duties each one will perform will not be
known until the morning OF the run.
Some Of the committee members may
not be able to be on hand. and it will
merely complicate matters TO assign the
duties to each now. This method is also
IN conformity with the policy OF the pro-
mOters Of the run TO keep the whole af-
fair free OF any possibility OF suspicion
OF unfairness. Therefore, the names OF
those who viii affix the seals and per-
form the other duties viii not be known

poses Of the run was about as con-
else and as clear as anything which has
yet been said on the subject "Asida

the biggest boom TO the automobile

claimed. The Capital City is logically
