Western Roads to Submit to Ruling

NNNNeA AsNaho w RubAA4Ak w u
The action of the western railroads
in accepting without further protest
or appeal the decision of the Inter
state Commerce commission in the
freight rate cases will surely affect
the course of the eastern roads, IL It
does not ultimately determine it. No
doubt there are local conditions which
differentiate between the consequences
of this decision on different roads
and, perhaps, not ably between some
eastern and western lines, but
since the railroads of the west have
come to the conclusion that they can
afford not to appeal from this ruling,
any further recourse of the sort by
eastern lines will naturally be some
what discredited forthwith
Leaving out of all consideration the
element of comparative earnings or
earning power and looking at the mat
ter from the basis on which the west
erni roads came to their conclusion
that they could make no stronger
showing before the new commerce
court than they had made before the
commission--it is dificult to see what
ground is left on which the eastern
lines may hope to base their case.
In the meantime the Hartman sys-
tenn is showing its contempt for the
whole controversy by proceeding with
its stupendous outlay of capital neces-
sary to complete its double tracks
from Omaha to San Francisco, which
is in itself rather sententious com

PENNSYLVANIA FIVE
CANCELS CONTEST
No Game Friday with Blue
and Gray Quint.

1t was learned last night that the game
ket-baIl team and the quint from the
University of Pennsylvania has been
Cancelled by the latter. The reason given
was the lack of practice of the team.
This leaves no game on the Blue and
Gray schedule for Friday night.
The squad worked hard last night pre-
pairing for the game with the fast Balti-
more Medical College quint tomorrow
night at the Arcade, and Coach Colli-
flower expressed himself as being we'll
pleased with the condition of the men.
The teams played two twenty minute
halls, and went through the hard work
with plenty of pep" After the scrim-
mage. an hour was devoted to signal
practice by the quint. The boys will rest
tonight. as the game with the Medical
five is expected to be hard fought from
the start.
Coach COlliflower reported that his men
are all in perfect condition, and stated
that the following goal shooters would
be carried as regulars for the present:
Forwards, Capt. Gibson, Sam Foley, Hol-
lender, and Whalen: centers, Schlosser
and Mccarthy; guards, Collifower, Heis-
kell. Doherty, and Graham.
Foley has been showing some speed on
the floor. and it is more than likely that
he will land a regular berth as a for
ward. Capt. Gibson has been practicinE
daily, and should be in the best of con-
dition.
The team is going great at present, and
from the showing of the quint in practice
another successful season is in store for
the Blue and Gray five.

GEORGETOWN PREPS
TO TACKLE EASTERN
First Basketball Game of
Season This Afternoon.

The Georgetown Preparatory School will
inaugurate its basketball season this aft
ernoon on the Arcade court, when they
clash with the fast quintet representing
the Eastern High School. Because of
aS rule prescribed at the erection of the
Ryan gymnasium, namely, that no fees
be charged for athletic games taking
place in this gymnasium, the Hilltop
youngsters have been more or less
at a disadvantage in making their bas-
ket-ball season Il financial success, so
this year the Props are going to expert
ment in the course taken by the varsity
and play their games on the Arcade floor.
Should this move prove satisfactory to
all concerned after the "try-Out" this aft
ernOOn, there is no doubt that all the
games on the Prep schedule will be
played there.
The Prep team under the coaching of
Prof. Joyce, Las improved wonderfully
during the past week, and it expected
that it will more than hold its own
against the high school teams of this
vicinity.
Billy Martin. the clever all-around
athlete. is captain. This is Martins third
year on the team, and a better all-around
player cannot be found. on account of
having two good forwards on the team
this year, he is playing one of the guard
positions, and his work in the game at
Baltimore Saturday evening was wonder
full.
Lane and hInot are che forwards, and
these two youngsters are the stars of
the team. Lane was a member of last
years crack five, and his star playing
is fresh in the minds of those who
saw him in action. Minot was captain
of Holy Cross Prep team Of Worcester.
Mass, last year, and although he weighs
$50 pounds, he is lightning fast on his
feet. for a big man. In the game against
Loyala College of Baltimore, on Satur-
day, Minot twisted his ankle, and 1t is
doubtful whether he will be in condition
to play this afternoon.
Daley, brother OF Capt. Daley. OF the
varsity football team, is the center on |
the team, and although this is his first
year playing basketball, he is putting |
up a great game, and it is thought by |
many that under Coach Joyce he will be |
developed into star player.
Marum, the captain of the Prep foot |
ball team, is playing the other guard |
position with Capt Martin. Marum Is |
a strong defensive player. and it is sell |
dom that the man he plays against ever
outclasses him.
The team is fortunate in having such !
good substitutes as Deer, Grove, and |
Wordlinger. These men are sure to pIay
in to-day's game, and they are expected
10 give good account of themselves.

GEORGETOWN PLANS
DRAINAGE FOR FIELD
Gridiron and Diamond Will
Be RemOdeled.

That Georgetown Field will be thor
oughly equipped with r. drainage system
next year is assured from the present
outlook on the Hilltop. Contractors are
expected TO visit the field some time this
week to draw up plans and to give a
rough estimate of what the job would
cost.
For some time past this has been the
topic Of much discussion on the Hilltop
among the student body. 1t will be re-
membered last spring that Georgetown
was forced to cancel her game with
Dartmouth College and one Of her games
with Princeton and Pennsylvania simply
on account of the condition OF the field.
On these three OCCASIONS the day was
ideal for baseball, but the field was So
muddy and dead that il was utterly i'm
possible for Il game to be played. Those
who witnessed the Virginia game can at
test relative to the condition Of the field.
A great deal OF money Is lost yearly by
the school I'm trying to remedy this fault,
but without success. Work Is expected
to begin at once. and II Is hoped that by
springtime the trouble which has for a
long time bothered Georgetown will at
last be remedied.

Country Morris, the crack alI-around
athlete of the Technical High School,
will enter Staunton Military Academy
after the Christmas holidays. This was
learned from Morris last night.
That the Staunton athletic teams will
be greatly strengthened, goes without
saying, as Country has made a great
reputation while in the high school ranks
AS a football player, Morris ranks
head and shoulders above the other
backs, his long end runs and line plunges
being as good as the best ever witnessed
in a high school struggle. AS a punter.
Morris is the best of the year. although
in the Tech-Central game Hamilton QUIZ
punted him. This was due partly to the
weakened condition of the Tech star,
who played through half the game COM
pletely out of his head
Playing baseball Country is as good
a catcher as the next. being a good
thrower and a swell hitter. 1t was the
stick of this lad who really won the
championship for the Technical ball club
last spring.
In basketball, Morris is good, belng
a member OF the crack Westminster
quint last season. 1t is understood that
Morris will play basketball with the
StauntOn five at once. and that the
management of the military team is try
ing to arrange a game with Georgetown
for the near future. Games with Cath
olic University, and Gallaudet are also
being sought after by the boys from
Staunton.
While it is an assured fact that Morris
will not stay at Staunton very long. as
there are too many real colleges after
him, he will finish out the present
scholastic year. 1t is understood that.
Morris has received flatterinG offer to
play professional baseball, and that he
may play up in the New England
League next year.
