GEORGETOWN MEETING
TO Be HELD SUNDAY
Semi-AnnuaI Gathering of Ath-
!. Ietic Association Promises
to Be Warm Affair.


annual meeting of the Georgetown Uni
versity Athletic Association drawing
closer the students of the hilltop school
are rapidly warming up for what prom
ises to be one of the warmest gatherings
held on the heights for some time. The
assembly will take place shortly after
noon Sunday in CASTOR Hall. All the
students of the school who are members
of the athletic association may attend,
and from present prospects large num-
Der will be in evidence.
The prime object of the meeting is the
election of an assistant manager of the
foot ball department. Under the custom
at Georgetown the assistant manager
each year Is elected to the fnanagership
the following year, and hence the Office
of assistant is very important one.
This fall the assistant manager of the
foot ball department was James Welsh
of the class of 1913. He has now assumed
the managership of the team and IS work
ing on next years schedule.
For the place left vacant by his pro-
motion both the sophomore and freshmen
classes have candidates, and as the cleo
ton is strictly a contest between these
two classes all kinds of electiOneering is
now going on. The nominee of the sOphO-
mores is Raymond Loichot of Canton,
Ohio. This man is very popular at the
school, having spent a year in prep be-
fore he entered college. He also has
plenty Of business ability, and there Is
no doubt that he will make good man
for the Office if he Is elected.
But the same may be said of the can
didate for the freshmen. This Is Ronald
Waldron of Greensburg, Pa. Coming to
Georgetown year ago, the Pennsyl-
prominence as an al-round athlete in
the prep school. He played on the foot
ball. basket ball and base ball teams. At
present he is president of his class and
has a big following behind him. A
unique fact in connection with his candi-
dacy is that his brother, David Waldron,
is president of the sophomore class and
hence is bound to work for the sophie
more candidate
Besides the election Of one of these to
the assistant managership, the associa-
ton will also act on number of amend
ments which are to be proposed to the
constitution. These amendments are at
present being prepared ~ the executive
committee, which has to ratify them be-
fore they can be put before the meeting
They relate to the awarding of the varsi-
ty letter and the Redistribution of the
letters to be patterned for each sport
The idea in view IS to make the coveted
&C. greater honor by making it more
difficult for a man to obtain it. The
present rulings in regard to the letter
are very unsatisfactory inasmuch as they
are too arbitrary and often work out
contrary to the spirit of the rule
Especially was this SO this fall when
much discussion was aroused over the
manner the foot ball "Gs' were given
Trouble last year also was encountered
which resulted Ill the crew letters not
being awarded.
What the nature of the new rule will
be is hard to determine just now. 1t
seems, however, that the letters for each
sport will be limited TO certain number
49, fnr nix-ip 1nxko
will be raised. Some want to make the
Virginia game letter event and only
have the insignia awarded to those who
take part in the one battle.
This is the custom at Princeton. Others
want the number to be limited to fifteen,
and those who are to receive them be Sc
lected by a committee of judges, as is
done at Michigan: AS the many ideas
advanced are widespread and varied the
question is likely to cause much discus
sion before 1t is finally settled. as every
member Of the school takes keen in
terest in the awarding of the highest ath-
letic honor that can be obtained.
Besides deciding on holding the general
mittee IN its meeting yesterday also drew
up resolutions thanking Charles Cox for
the interest he has taken i'm the eleven
this year. Cox assisted in the coaching
department and rendered gratis help that
Is incalculable. The association rendered
the communications to him by mail after
the meeting. They expressed the thanks
of the foot ball department and the whole
association to the loyal alumnus for his
work and encouragement.
Another meeting of the executive COM
mittee will be held later in the week. at
which the final plans will be made for
the general gathering Sunday The MEM
bers Of the committee are President
Power, Secretary Carter and Treasurer
Flume of the general association: Man
ager Crosby of base ball. Manager Daley
of crew. Manager Wymard Of track and
Manager Joliat Of foot ball.
