What cannot help being an interesting
game of foot ball will take place on
Georgetown Field tomorrow afternoon,
when the Blue and Gray Props will match
up against an eleven picked from among
the employees of the Department OF Agri-
culture. So far this fall the Aggies have

greatest victory to date is the one cred
tied to them over the Reserves Of the

and at the same time it makes them IA

"A. A. u. HOT ON TRAIL
OF OUTLAW LEAGUE

NEW YORK, October 19.-The Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States il
hot on the trail of the new outlaw
league. which was formed recently in
Chicago. President James L. Sullivan
of the A. A. L. has directed that the
central association waste no time In put
ting the new league out of business.
In a letter to Otto E. Schmidt of the
Central Association Mr.. Sullivan writes:
Mr. Otto Schmidt, Chicago. Ill.
Dear Sir: My attention has been called
to the formation in the central associa-
ton of the Amateur Athletic Union OF
an outlaw athletic league. The formation
Of this league means that a certain group
of men will endeavor to tear down the
controlling body in amateur sports. The
group Of men responsible for this out
law organization represents an element
in the United States that never create,
never organize. but when some one else
does the organizing they do their best
to tear the organization down.
The element is usually termed 'athleti:
anarchistic element. They do not believe
in law and order. but would like to see
the present healthy condition of amateur
sport in this country cease to exist.
'Your duty therefore is plain one.
The minute they hold competition.
disqualify each and every man who COM
peteS, nave your registration committee
pass a resolution disqualifying all the
men that officiate and forever refuse
sanction to the hall of athletic grounds
or building where they held the meet
ing. In other words. if they desire
manly fight with the Amateur Athletic
haps there is room in Chicago for an
outlaw league. but l do not know OF
any other city in the United States that
would tolerate an outlaw league. You
have a duty to perform and l hope you
will perform II promptly.
Bear in mind one thing: If there is
any group in the United States that is
interested in athletics. that desires to
compete among themselves, they can do
so. but the minute they endeavor to
bring into competition those not directly
connected with them the sport becomes
open sport, and there is an organization
in the United States that is pretty
healthy, strong and full of fight. that is
willing to fight if necessary to keep
sport in America where 1t should be and
where 1t is today, in a good, healthy.
wholesome condition. We do not want
to go back to where We found sport
twenty years ago. We have progressed
too much for that and l could recon-
Chicago, take 1t out and use it vigor-
ously Yours truly.

When seen yesterday Mr.. Sullivan did
net seem worried over the trouble in
