That GEORGETOWN is due to lose the man
who has been most prominent in its attn
Ietic development. unless certain changes
are made in regard TO the management
of athletic affairs al the university, IS
rendered certain by the following state
ment made By Bill Foley. coach of the
track and field team: Unless there are
radical changes in regard to the depart
nent of athletics over which | have con-
troll. within the next few days. ! shall re-
sign my position as coach OF the track
team and have nothing else whatever 10
do with athletics at Georgetown.
Foley, in discussing the situation, went
even further, and said that, had il not
been for the fact that it would have left
Manager Wymard. who. according TO the
roa CHI. is doing good work in a big hole.
he would have quit at the end of the first
week of practice. Foley discussed the
matter at length and gave several reasons
for his expressed purpose.
The two main reasons given by the
Georgetown coach for the stand he mas
taken are these: The first is that since
he has teen coaching the Blue and Gray
squad instead of leaving everything in
his hands and trusting to his Judgment in
regard TO the selection of men for the
,eams and for the different events, some
OF the men nave urea 10 us
decisions and favor their friends on whom
il seems that the coveted positions were
not bestowed. The elimination of this
part Of the affair came when preparations
were being made for the relay team TO
make the trip to Boston. When the team
was selected il seems that because one or
two men of certain clique were not
placed on the quartet others used every
effort to prevent the four taking the trip
by subjecting the chosen members of the
team to conditions that were not exactly
in accordance with the right usage OF
athletes. and besides used their personal
influence to get men off the team who
had been chosen TO represent the uni
sersity.
The second reason is that there are
several men who are prominently 1dentl-
fed with athletics in the university who
are not willing TO give the men from the
law and medical schools a fair show.
The day students are more or less under
the same ban. also. 1t is customary. so it
is reported. among some of the students
in the collegiate department. 10 run down

MAY BECOME COACH.
Ed Carter Has Decided to Try for
Western Appointment.

Ed Carter, for three years varsity end
on the Georgetown foot ball team, has
decided to enter the coaching field in
Seattle. Wash, the coming fall. He made
public his intentions last evening, when
he admitted that friends of his in the
western city had requested that he allow
them to put his name in for appointment
as coach of one of the high schools in
that vicinity. He has given his consent
and seems to be confident that lie will
land contract before great many days
pass.
His record at Georgetown has become
we'll known in his resident state, and as
a result of this he has gained an enviable
reputation. While not a man of great
stature his work on the Wset End grid
iron was always of the highest character,
and on more than one occasion during his
career at tine school his playing has at
tracted more than passing notice.

1t was not because Bob CngIaub had
a poor year that Jim McAleer decided to
get rid Of him. There is always chance
OF a player OF his type coming back to
his best form, but even if Bob had play

The fact that Unglaub's conversational

Mr.. GARDNER SCORES
SECOND 18.2 VICTORY
Amateur Billiard Champion
Defeats Mr.. Mayer in Inter-

Standing Of the Players.

NEW YORK, February 1I.-EdWard w.
Gardner of Upper Montclair, y. j.. the
present amateur champion, won his see
ond contest in the international IS. baIk-
line billiard championship yesterday af-
ternoon at the Liederkranz Club. His OPP
ponent was Joseph Mayer. the Philadel-
phia expert. OF whom much was expected.
but who has been a disappointment to
his followers. 1t was Mr. Mayors third
defeat. and the result of yesterday s
contest practically spoils all chance Of
his winning the title. The score was 400
to 327.
1t was steadiness that won for the
champion. There was plenty of reason
for Mr.. Mayer becoming discoura ged
over the breaks that came his way. lie
played in the worst sort of luck, and
only in one inning did he get the balls
running nicely for him. This was i'm
the twenty-fourth. when he was more
than hundred points behind. He start
ed with a bad leave. but in four shots
had the balls under control. He then
clicked off a., the highest run of the
match He failed in characteristic
manner on an easy two cushion shot
ont Of the corner when il looked as
thought he might go on almost indefi-
niteiy.
NJ. Gardner was left in good position
IN the next inning and scored 10. his
best run. With only il to go for an
average of 1G the champion fell down
on single cushion carom, and il took
him five more innings to complete his
string.
Mr.. Mayer in the meantime threatened
strong finish. In his next to last inning
after tallying 30, he missed i'm exasperat-
ing style on a very easy draw shot. The
tbfrtieth inning found the Philadelphisn
PLAYING in promising style. but just when
m8tters looked rosiest the climax of his i'll
luck came with freeze that necessitated
an almost impossible masse. Mr.. Mayer
missed by hair and it was easy for his
opponent to run the four he then needed

INVESTIGATION Of
WILKINSON CASE
COMES AS SURPRISE
Committee Named by Anna
teur Commission to Hear
Charges.

Amateur baseball players and follow
ers are today talking about the &C.
ton of the amateur commission in ap-
pointing a committee to investigate the
charges Of Manager Wilkinson, Of the
st. Martin team. that players are being
paid to leave his team to play on
others. The stand taken by the CON-
mission was announced by President
Robert H Young yesterday in The
Tisaes, and was a complete surprise, as
the commission IN the past has treated
such matters lightly, never having
charges to act upon.
President Young stated yesterday that
he would ask to have the matter cleared
up If no charges were preferred. but
Manager Wilkinson, through the pres
ident of the Independence League, O.
w. Roakes, presented his case.
Two votes by the commission were
necessary before the letters were ac-
cepted, and a committee composed of
Captain Edwards. of the Marquette
League; Zed Copp, of the Olympia
League; S. E. Beach. of the District
League, and Col. J. w. DeGrange, of
the Sunday School League, was given
ten days in which to look up the
matter,
