IN a pamphlet Just issued Georgetown's
position may be summed up as follows:
The position OF Georgetown on the
question Of athletic sports among our
students is that they are a legitimate
source Of recreation, OF healthful eX-
ercise. Of generous rivalry. and manly
spirit; in q word, that they are a use
full means for the physical and moral
development Of the students
''The college, therefore, has put with
in reach Of students whatever viii make
for these. purposes and has set such re
st-ictions as will prevent as far as
may be. the abuse o. college sport 10
the dstriment Of scholarship, maaliness.
and gentlemaniy &C drtesy. Our idea OF
inJ collegiate competition in the field
Of sport is to bring such contests as
closely as possible TO the model Of oLe
gentleman Playing with another for a
genucman's recreation.
Students AppTeciative.
The student body has shown its hearty
and high appreciation Of the absence Of
UnschOIarIy athletics. Of coarse cOmpan-
ionship, and has readily learned 70 win
by fair, clean methods, with manly
spirit, and TO take the defeat in its turn
with the self-controI Of gentlemen"
The new rules will probably have some
effect upon the size Of the squad TO
represent Georgetown in her own indoor
meet March Z, for those in power have
made 1t known plainly that the rules
will be followed out TO the letter. An
uouncement OF those who have been
placed under the ban will be made the
first week IN March.

lively. II is said that no protest was
made, for any reason, by the members
Of the other teams. but the medals
were withheld. Since that time, It is
understood by the students. Dr. W =.
r. Phillips, chairman Of the athletic
council has given practical assurance
Of the disqualification Of the Engineer

medals and the University champion

finished second in the running. This
has caused an indignant protest on the
part Of the Engineering students and
their friends.
What Caused Protest.
The reason for the re9orted susnaD-

track man and relay runner Of several
years standing. had failed at the time
Of the race 10 comply with certain regu-
lauons of the athletic code regarding
satisfactory relations with the treas
Urer's office. For this reason he was
unable TO compete in the varsity race
with Virginia, but did run on the
victorious Engineering team. Cunning
was aware that ne ran under protest
from DR.. Phillips who, it is understood,
held that the regulations governing the
competition of athletes with the rerre-

Cunning Explains.
Cunning is popular with his fellow
students. has played on the football
team for three successive years. and
was captain Of the 1907 eleven. He has
been a student in the university for
four years. When seen in regard to the
discussion over his running on tho EN-

more West Branch Y. N. c. A. basket
ball teams Of the Tri-City League played
here tonight and the local five reversed
its defeat Of last Saturday night in the
Monumental City, by % to 8.
The result indicates the relative form
displayed by the teams. The Balti-
mOre8ns were surpassed both in passing
the ball and locating the baskets. The
locals opened strong and maintained the
pace until the close Of play. While Riley
did COmmendable work for Baltimore,
the redeenaing feature of the game was
the playing Of Grouse, one Of the York
guards. He scored u points. Rough
tactics were used in abundance and
York was the chief offender.
