TOM0RR0W'S MEETING
IMPORTANT AFFAIR
Business of Vast Consequence
Up for Settlement Before
Georgetown Students.

Much excitement reign today among
the students of Georgetown University,
the cause being the impending semi-an-
nual meeting of the general athletic as
ISOLATION, which will take place tomorrow
in CASTOR Hall. AS there are q couple Of
amendments to be proposed to the con-
stitution. besides the election Of an as
sistant manager of foot ball for next
year. great interest is being taken by the
undergraduates. and much discussion may
be looked for before adjournment is
taken.
The fight for the assistant manager
ship, which has been going on for con-
siderable time, has gotten up to fever
heat. with both factions claiming victory.
The freshmen. with class enrolment of
fifty-five. declare that they have pledged
to them enough additional ballots to
make it certain that Ronald Waldron will
receive the coveted position. On the
other hand. the sophomores are equally
sangufne that their candidate. Raymond
LOichot. will land the job. Electioneer-
ing. however. is still going on. from which
1t may easily be gathered that neither
class is as fortified against defeat as the
leaders would imply by their statements.
Besides the election there will also be
discussions on the constitution. as amend
mentS are to be proposed concerning the
awarding of the varsity letter These
amendments are to be put before the ex-
cqt1ve council today for approval. and
will be placed before the meeting in
their final form. 1t will take q three
Iourths vote to get any of them by.
The amendments. concerning the base
ball letter will probably not cause any
discussion at ALL Foot ball is due for
considerable comment, as is also track.
Whether or not a monogram will be
awarded to the basket ball players may
also be the subject of much controversy.
The topic, however. which promises to
call forth the greatest contention is the
awarding of the crew &C.
In this department. the letter has not
been awarded for three seasons. Last
year at this time an amendment was
made providing that the eight should be
honored If it took part in two varsity
races. According to the schedule the
conditions were fulfilled, but the execu-
tive council refused to recognize one of
tiers were given out.
This year the crew management is in
tent on having a full understanding OF
just how the letter is to be given out in
the future, and hence the rowing ques-
ton is sure to be looked into carefully in
its every phase. There is even a pos
sibility that more than the crew letter
question. will be brought up, in which case
the debate and vote may be of the great
est import in relation to the future of
aquatics at the school.
The meeting will start promptly at i
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t will be called
to order by President Power of the ath-
letic association. after which the different
financial reports will be heard and the
election held. The miscellaneous business,
under which the amendments will be Of
fered. occupies last place on the progrom.

The latter goes after everything. Some

very we'll be charged with something
which they cannot avoid, and the result
is that Chase is given errors because ne

How much better to have that qulck

and there is where Chase is great.
Records. so far as he is concerned, are
not worth the powder to blow them up.
His ball-playing ability is worth tnou-
sand times the paper and ink which are
necessary to make a record of his work
For such reasons a skillful and capable
manager like Hanlon was sure that ne
could beat an Al-American team with a
nine Of his own selection. In other wor9s,
he figured that the man who chose the
original eleven would probably pick the
"topnotchers,'' while Hanlon would rely
upon his judgment Of ball-playing ability.

selected by his rival There have been
actual efforts In base ball to put what
might almost be called All-American
teams On the field. and it is rather inter-
estirg to note that not one OF them ever
won a championship. and one or two had
quite a time to get into the first division
of the race.
When the stars found themselves on the
same team they. discovered that they
could not play base ball as well as when
they were separated, and there's the real
test Of the game-team work.
II you can't get it out OF your players

Now and then almost every one is pos

together an All-America base ball nine.

only represents personal belief. There

Human beings are not machines A Di-
vine Providence never meant that they
should be. Occasionally they perform
mechanically, but they are more chided

An All-America team selected from the
highest records is a mental possibility
but playing impossibility. An ALI
America team selected from combina-
ton of records and personal Judgment is
better The best of base ball managers
are inclined to believe, however, that it
is out of the question in any year to
choose an All-America team which can

RAILROAD NOTES

A new type of gasoline railway
motor car which has been built by the
Bettendorf steel works at Davenport
is being tested out on the D., r. /. &
n. W. line between Clinton and Daven
port The car has made several trips
to Clinton and while there attracted
a good deal of attention. The car looks
like a large passenger coach, with a
front compartment which contains the
power machinery. IN case the car
proves a success it will be placed in
use on one of the lines of the BurIing-
ton railroad in western Iowa.
Another eastern railroad combiaa-
ton will open an agency in Davenport
and establish an Office there to handle
its business in the tri-cities and in
eastern Iowa and Mississippi river
towns. The Pere Marquette and Lee
high Valley fast freight line will on
next Monday handle all of its business
through a special agent. The bust
ness of this combination of fast freight
lines has been handled heretofore by
travelling freight men. The opening
of an office here indicates the incTeas
ing importance of the tri-cities and
vicinity as a freight producing point
and shows that the big eastern freight
lines are awakening to the fact that
they must have personal representa-
tives in the community If they would
secure their share of the business and
handle it properly Three other rail-
roads. the New York Central, the
Pennsylvania and the Erie roads, now
have permanent agents in Davenport.
