out Of respect TO Archie Christian. the
young Virginia player who met an un-
timely death during the Georgetown game
here Saturday. the president Of the
Georgetown Athletic Association has
Cancelled the two remaining games on
the schedule.
/ such action deserves the highest In
dorsement OF all football fans. II was a
mighty fine thing TO do, and VIII but
serve to cement the closer athletic re-
lations between these rival institutions.
/ AS yet no word has been sent out 20
/ the effect that Virginia Will cancel the
remaining games on its schedule, but
such action will doubtless be taken when
/ the athletic association meets. Even II
| these games were not Cancelled. II IL
doubtful II the Orange and Blue men
would agree to play any more football
| this season. so keenly do they feel the
/ loss OF their team mate.
/ Perhaps the saddest part Of the whole
affair Is the fact that Capt. Yancey, OF
! the Virginia team, had planned 20 take
I Half Back Christian out OF the game
right after the rush which resulted in
| the young mans death. Had Yancey
been possessed OF clairvoyant powers

The football season proper Will close
next Saturday, when Harvard and Yale
meet at Cambridge for their annual bat
tie. and this game will be worth going
miles to witness. so evenly are the two
elevens matched.
! Last year the Crimson won. 20 0. a
goal from the field turned the trick.
This season Yale appears TO be a bit
! stronger and more powerful on the Of
Tense. but It must be borne in mind that
! the New Haven collegians have Just gone
! through a gruellng battle with Princeton,
and i've days is none too long for re-
! cuperation Harvard also has a slight
advantage, as the game IS played in the
/ Cambridge Stadium.
/ 1T is pleasing news that the story OF
tho overthrow OF John Heydler as presi-
dent OF the National League was bit
premature" says the Philadelphia North
] American, and. continuing. the writer
adds: Reports had led one 10 believe
| that his most aggressive opponent was
August Hermann, the Cincinnati owner,
/ but this the latter denies. which virtually
| assures the reelection of Heydler.
/ The opposition now against the IN
! cumbent Of the Office is so small and IN
! significant that there IS little chance 20
Gust Heydler. all OF which IS gratifying
| 70 those who watch baseball matters
| closely, for they recognize in Heydler an
uncommonly competent and well-bslanced
baseball executive"
Logan Cunningham. the former Central
High School football star. had only one
| chance 10 try drop kick from the field
I in the Yale game Saturday. but Cunning
/ ham earned his varsity letter. and that
means a whole lot TO a college man.
/ Last year Jack Field. at one time an
! Eastern High player was sent in for
! Yale against Princeton and earned his
/ letter. Field, on account of an injury,
/ has not been able TO make the varsity
( this year. but had he done so there would
have been quite a Washington favor 20
the annual Tiger-Bulldog battle, with
Field in Yale's back field and Cunning
ham on the job for Princeton.
