The proposed triangular athletic
meet between University of Virginia,
Georgetown University n the Car
Isle Indian School. II held, will be
one of the most interesting athletic
events Of the present season. Man
ayers Cecil, Of Virginia, and McNulty,
Of Georgetown, and Coach Warner. Of

but II seems that Manager McNulty
is not f~avorably inclined toward al
lowing Carlisle to enter the meet he
would rather make 1t a two-sided at-
fair between Georgetown and Vir-
ginia.
The manager gives no reason for this
but II must be that owing to the ex-
ceIlent showing made by some OF the
Georgetown athletes at the games last
Saturday night. he thinks his Hill
toppers will be able to trim Virginia
and they can be met alone

big universities would create great in

OPPOSITION TO BILL

OPPOSITION TO BILL

There will be no football legisla-
ton during this session OF the State
Legislature" This vas the state
ment made by a prominent member
OF the legislative body when asked
about the bill that was offered by
Senator Parks. of Page county, ITO
Prevent the Playing of Football"
While the question has caused no
particular concern In athletic circles
in the State yet there has been a
certain mount of uneasiness on ac-
count of the uncertainty of the prop
osition. II could not be said abso-
lutely hat the legislators would not
favor the bill but 1t was generally be-
lieved that 1t would never be passed.
-TAe-b4A brought UP Il number
of times n each time met strong
opposition from Senators Farley, Holt.
i4assiter. and Fletcher, some of whom
have been football stars in their school
days and know a thing or two about
the game. These senators have sue
ceeded in preventing any action on
the bin So far as the present session
Is concerned.
There is now no possible chance of
the bill being acted upon at this ses-
sion. The Senate during this last
week of Its session Is working under
fules that proniol uebdte anu every
bill that is prevented and will bring
on debate is laid aside and another
taken. An effort was made to have
favorable action on the football bill
hut the senators IN the opposition de-
clared that they would each very
probably like to have Mt least an hour
to debate the question so under the
rules the bill was perforce put aside.
There viii be at least one more
good season of football before any
legislative action will intervene and
even at he next session the same OPP
posing senators may be counted upon
to keep for the State the favorite
college sport. i.
