some definite action will be taken
toward improving the street. 1t is
getting rather monotonous awaiting

selves into action by Tuesday night,
Il is the intention Of few members
of council at least to push the pro-
ject along regardless of the feelings
and desires Of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Co. The idea Of
improving twenty feet on either side
of the railway right Of way has
been advanced several times, and II
Is quite likely this method will be
resorted to unless the street car

their part without further delay.

GEORGETOWN RESUMES
VARSITY BASKET BALL
Association Formed This
Morning to Further
Indoor Sport.

Georgetown will again put a basket ball
quint on the floor this winter. The de-
cision to do this was reached this morn
ing by the executive council of the gem
eral athletic association. and sanction
was given to the devotees of the sport
to form a basket ball association for the
management of a basket ball team. This
association Is to be known as the George
town University Basket Ball Association,
and will be differed by the manager, as
sistant manager and captain of the
team.
Although the minor association will be
Independent in all its workings from the
parent body. it will nevertheless be super
vised by a representative from the ex
ecutive council of the general athletic
association of the university, to whom
will be delegated complete power of over
seeing the management OF the auint The
officers of the basket ball association will
be responsible to this man, and he will
act as their representative on the eX-
ecutive board of the general association
With this sanction obtained, the basket
ball enthusiasts have lost no time in per-
fecting their organization. Thomas L.
Fortune, senior in the law school, was
elected to the management of the quint
this morning, and George F. Goegin. an
other member of the senior law class
was selected to assist him. The election
OF Fritz Schlosser to the captaincy OF
the quint was made at meeting OF the
old players last spring, and has been
ratified by the association.
With these matters satisfactorily dis
posed OF the men will now get down to
hard work with view to getting out a
quint capable of coping with the best in
the country. A tentative schedule already
formed contains games with some of the
leading teams in the east. and these will
be signed up without delay All of the
home games will be played at the Arcade
skating rink. while many of the battles
will take place out of town.
That there is plenty of material for d
speedy five cannot be denied. Schlosser,
the leader, has been playing at the Hill
top school for some time, and has demon
strated In the past that he is we'll able to
hold down q place on the best of teams.

CLASS TRACK MEET
FOR c. ". j. RUNNERS
Board of Faculty Advisers
Sanctions important Event
for Saturday, November 26.

George Washington University will go
in stronger than ever before for track
athletics this season.
This fact was decided at a meeting or
the board of faculty athletic advisers of
the university in the college building on
l street last night. AS means of arous-
ing interest of the student body in the
sport an interdepartmental field and
track meet will be held the afternoon of
November 26, at a place to be decided at
a later date.
Manager Harold Keats. who was only
recently elected to succeed Earnest Eaton
of last years team, has issued call
for candidates, and training will start
Immediately on the newly constructed
track in Potomac Park. Already three
members of last season s squad nave
started work and number of others
are expected to join them i'll the near
future. Fleming and MaXson. both long
distance men, have been WORKING out
for several weeks, and Brady or last
years speedy relay. Joined the force
last week.
According to Manager Keats, there Is
an abundance of material among the
students registered in the various depart
ments and prospects for a winning team
are brighter than in many years.
The possibility of holding an indoor
meet this season depends for large
part on the interest manifested by the
athletes at the university. Should the
interdepartmental event prove successful
there is little doubt but that the man
agement will go ahead with plans for the
annual attraction.
Outside of the decision in regard to the
class meet the board Of advisers did moth
ing that could be given out for publlca-
ton at this time.
It is understood that several subjects
relative to foot ball interests were dis
cussed, but no definite action was taken.
Prof. Mumma, the newly elected chair
man Of the board presided for the first
time since his election to the important
position. He outlined briefly his policy
to be followed out during the coming sea-
son, and convinced the members of the
board of his sincerity in the encourage
ment Of all branches of athletic pursuit.
