MAY REINSTATE FOOT BALL.
Late Action at Georgetown Would
Indicate Such a Course.

The action of the Georgetown Cniver-
sity Athletic Association yesterday In
providing for the election of an assistant
manager Of foot ball at the general as
sembly of the members, December II, and
the fact that the proceedings of the meet
ing have received the approval of the
faculty, would indicate that there is a
strong possibility for foot ball being re-
sumed at the hilltop school another fall
This is the first action that the executive
council has taken since the faculty man
date came out abolishing the sport, and
as there has been plenty of time for ex-
tensive investigation into the matter, the
decision to make preparations for a sea-
son has raised the hopes of the students
to a great extent.
Immediately the different classes inter-
ested. these being the sophomores and
freshmen, will make nominations of can
didates for the Office, and from then until
the vote Is taken some warm campaigning
may be expected. 1t is notable fact
that the fall elections are usually more
holly contested than those in June, as
victory by the first-year men means that
they will have considerable prestige during
the remaining months of their plebeian-
ship. Because of the uncertainty of the
election that has been IN the air up to
forth any tentative candidates, but many
are sure to crop out today
The executive council also awarded
the ''G's" to those who had fulfilled the
requirements of the constitution, these
being those who had played in fifty per
cent of the total halves played. and those
who have taken part in the battle against
Virginia. Capt. Stuart, Paklen, McNulty,
Cunniff. Daley. Sitterding and Wymard
received the coveted insignia for the Sec
w pur
Carter, Carrigan, Vlymen, Mcnamara,
Dunton, Barricello. Fitzgerald, F'eenan, j.
Daily, Smith, Stohlman, Waldron and
Jamison were honored for the first time.
McFarlane. l.. Murray and Connolly.
Although the question of soccer was
taken up, nothing was done in the mat
ter, as 1t was believed better to leave
any decision until the possibilities of the
game had been demonstrated more ex-
tensively among the class teams. Candi-
dates for the different teams practiced
for nearly two hours yesterday under
Coach Williams and showed much i'm
provement over the work OF the first
day out. The class teams will be organ
lied today and the schedule will probably
be announced tonight by the respective
captains.
Tomorrow morning on the varsity field
two teams from Caledonian foot ball
club, of which Coach Williams is a men,
Der, will give an exhibition game. AS
not only the students at Georgetown, but
people throughout the city are curious
to see the manner of playing the game,
1t is likely that large crowd will be on
hand to witness the event
The managers of track and crew both
made lengthy reports at the meeting of
the council. The first mentioned has de-
cided to postpone the call for candidates
until after the holidays. by which time it
is believed competent coach will have
been secured. Numerous repairs to the
boo I@<l e..
preparation to the boat club. which will
probably put everything in first-class
shape so that the oarsmen will be able
to get on the water early in February.
