Results.

With a balance OF over $i.JU on hand
over and above outstanding debts and a
lcng string OF successes on the athekc
field set down as history. the George
town University Athletic Association
practically terminated its work for 1905
~ at the annual meeting he'd yesterday
afternoon I'm CASTOR Hall. The cond:-
tion of the finances of the association is
the best in years and speaks well for the
ability of the officers OF the past twelve
month. since ii was by their economy that
the affairs were put into such a flourish
ing state.
Those whose terms expired were Jo-
seph ". Montgomery, president Percy
cnikiu. secretary: Thomas Boyle, treas
urer: A. Vincent Lynch, manager OF foot
ball: Vincent 4. Corcoran. manager OF
field and track: John 3. r. lie Plante.
manager Of crew; Thomas Stuart jr.
manager OF base ball. and J. Edward
Dilkes. manager of basket ball.
The different reports Of the managers
showed that foot bail. usually the most
profitable sport on the list. was an eN-
pense this year. the income being far
short of the expenditures. Nearly 500
was also lost en- basket ball. These def
cits however. were far overbaianced by
the profits of base ball and the track de-
partment. and by the surplus of the coll
ege store, which usually goes to en-
gaging a crew coach.
The question of whether a basket ball
team should be retained az a department.
of the general athletic association was
taken up. and after considerable argu-
ment 1t was found that there was not
enough interest taken in the sport to war
rant the expense being paid from the cof-
fers of the association. 1t now remains
for those Interested I'm the game to follow
the plan proposed two years ago and
form basket ball club for the purpose
of financing the quint and arranging the
schedule. 1t is probable that this will be
done by the law students since all of the
players on the team are In that depart
ment of the university.
The elections resulted in the three ex-
ecutive officers being unanimously elected
from the class Of 1910. and the three as
sistant managers being chosen from the
class of 1919. The assistant managers OF
the past year were promoted to the man
agerships without objection, the new ex-
ecutive committee being made up OF
Frank Carlin. president; Daniel Mccain.
secretary: Edward Carr. treasurer: Dan-
iel Murray. menager of foot bali: Jos epi
McNulty. manager of field and track;
Harry Brown. manager of base ball. and
William Byrnes. manager OF the crew.
The three assistant managers who were
elected at yesterdays meeting and who
will succeed TO the managerships a year
hence are John Crosby for base ball. Nor.
man Wymard for field and track and
Vincent Daley for crew. william Fitz-
gerald was elected assistant manager OF
foot ball last December.
All of these officers will enter on their
duties next September when ii is hoped
that new era in the athletics OF the
Blue and Gray school will be inausu-
rated. The old officers can be thanked
for making IL possible for their success
sors to promote the intercollegiate COM
petition in sports toward the high goal
once reached by the hilltoppers. while the
incoming. executive committee Is thought
to be made up of men capable OF booming
the different teams of the university In
the way In which they used to he.
