Sporting Gossip
"Epery Knock Is a Boost" !"
Blow to athletics.

Blow to athletics.
1t is too bad that conditions were
such that it was necessary for the
board of trustees of George Washington
University to abolish sport.
But, at that, the announcement did not
come as a great surprise. Even in the
old days, as Columbian, the university
always had hard shedding in athletics.
At times the teams were good, but
then again they would fall far below
with the result that financing sport be-
came too great a burden.
The trustees deserve credit for not
abandoning the association entirely for
the action in leaving the question of
paying the debts to a special committee,
will probably result in clearing up all
matters connected with the athletic as
sociation.

Institution ImmediatelyWi
draws From Intercol-
legiate Athletics.
NO MORE FOOTBALL
WILL BE: ALLOWED
Track and Baseball Teams Must
Disbsnd by Edict Sent to
Captains.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

George washington University will
not have a football team on the field
during the season of 1911. Athletics
have no official status at the university
and, unless there is an unexpected
change of opinion, the institution will
withdraw from all forms of intercolle-
giate sport. q. Zee. ,
1t became known today that the
board of trustees, after considering
the question from every viewpoint. has
formally decided that IT would be mex
pedient to be represented on the grid
iron, track or diamond in the future.
The secretary at the order of the board
has sent to all athletic officials notice
which sets forth the following:
No football team shall represent
the university during the academic
year of 1911.
The athletic council shall be abol-
ished at once.
That all outstanding indebtedness
be referred to the presidents COM
mittee.
Notice to Hart
Among others who received this notice
was Capt. Wayne Hart. of the football
eleven last fall, and, as a consequence
of the decision of the board of trustees
there will be no election of a manager
or captain for any future teams that
might be organized.
1t was the failure of football last fall
that led the board to issue it's sweeping
edict.
Three years ago the gridiron squad
was the most successful in the history
of the university and as a result there

MICHIGAN WORRIED .
BY PENNIS POLICY
New Eligibility Ruling by
Quakers Places Wolverines
in Precarious Position.

ANN ARBOR, Mich-r Jan. s.-An-
nouncement of the new, ruling by the
University of Pennsylvania authorities,
that will prevent the Michigan-Pennsyl-
vania football games after 1911, made a
noise like the explosion of a bomb shell
in the Wolverine athletic camp.
The Michigan authorities have had no
intimation of the Quakers' intention to
drop the Westerners from their football
schedule, and refused to give entire
credence to the story until they received
official notification.
At the same time. although they will
not admit it. the action on the part Of
Penn is causing considerable anxiety
among the men who are guiding Mich
igan's athletic fortunes.
The loss of the Penn game is bound
to prove blow at the very backbone
of the argument upon which the ath-
Ietic authorities are standing in refus-
ing to attempt to effect reconciliatory
measures with the Western Conference.

GEORGE WASHINGTON DROPS ATHLETICS DURING NEXT YEAR
CUBS HARD PRESSED /,
FOR GOOD PITCHERS
Signing of Veteran Vic Willis
Emphasizes Chances
Need of TWirlerS.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The addition of
Vic Willis to the pitching staff of the
Cubs only goes to prove that Man
ager Frank Chance is in dire distress
over the hurlers for the National
League champions next season.
Chicago was lucky in the draw with
Cincinnati for the veteran. and yes
terday II was announced he will be
Cub. The st. Louis club had asked
waivers on him with the idea Of dis
posing OF him to either Baltimore or
Toronto, but the Reds and Cubs claim
ed him and in the draw the Cubs
won.
Vic Wills is one of the great twirl-
ers of the past. He had a good year
in 1909 with the Pittsburg sIuggers
behind him. In spite of that period
of success, he was sold to st. Louis.
His work with the Cardinals last year
was weak and il was easily seen he
was not the grand pitcher OF other
years when playing with Boston and
Pittsburg.

No scoring boards.

That idea Of John 1. Taylor, of Bos-
ton, to have scoring board of three
in each city will hardly appeal to any,
one who has sat through a game in a
press box. .
Seldom day passes that there is not
some sort of dispute, and before any
committee could reach decision it
would take Captain Doyle and half a
hundred of his choice henchmen to re-
store peace and quiet among those who
had opinions to express each afternoon.
Taylor is a nice sort Of fellow, but he
ought to put that scoring idea IN cold
storage and throw the key away.

Getting suits ready.

Pink" Bowie, manager of Harry
Whites store. told me yesterday that
he was sending out blanks for the
measurements for the uniforms which
the Nationals will wear next season.
The suits will be the same as last
year-white at home and dark ones for
abroad. With each suit will go a
sweater.
Bowie will also make the uniforms for
the Chicago White Sox.

ceipts were so small that a string of
unpaid bills was left behind. When the
creditors could get no satisfaction from
the football authorities they carried
their complaints to the officials of the
university, and in this way the matter
was brought before the board OF
trustees.
While realizing that legitimate aG-
vertising coming from athletics was de-
slrable, those directing the destihies Of
the institution failed to sec any indica-
lion of prosperity, so it was decided to
stop sports without delay.
The announcement will come as a
blow to the athletically inclined stu
dents of the university. and there will
be a number of stars who will either
retire from the gridiron or go to some
other college to complete their four
years.
May Enter Georgetown.
While nothing definite Is admitted, II
is reported that Captain Hart will enter
Georgetown and, after fulfilling the
residence requirement, will become q
candidate for the football team and
crew He should be a valuable recruit
for the Blue and Gray, as he is con-
ceded to be the best tackle in this Sec
ton of the country, and is an expert
oarsman, having rowed on the cham
pion Potomac Boat Club eight.
II is understood that the action OF the
trustees will have no effect on tht
indoor meet which is planned for Feb
ruary 4 at Convention Hall.
The track management has already
closed its contract for the hall and
has out invitations. Should this meet
be held it will probably be the last
under the sanction of George Washing
ton, at least until two years from now

Interest in basketball.

The crowd that attended the New
York Georgetown basketball game at
the Arcade, was one of the largest in
the history of the sport in the Dis
trict and would indicate that there is
to be a revival of interest in the win
ter indoor contests. -.
The Georgetown team lacked smooth
ness in team play, but the individual
ability was there, and with few more
weeks of practice the quint should be
in excellent shape for the large games
that are to come.
The whole of Georgetown seemed to
be there, including all the coaches and
probably the largest gathering of alum
nj that ever saw Georgetown basket
ball team play.

GREAT MOTOR SHOW
IS ON IN NEW YORK
Exhibits on View Said to
Be Worth Over Two
Millions.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Automobile men
say today that what is unquestionably
the greatest automobile show ever held
in this country was successfully inauGu-
rated at the Madison Square Garden
last night, when the Association of Iii
censed Automobile Manufacturers, who
make cars under the Selden patent,
opened their eleventh annual exhibition,
which was attended by a tremendous
crowd, which packed the building from
floor to rafters.
While. some horseless vehicles were
shown in connection with bicycles way
back in 1898, the first real automobile
show was held in the Madison Square
Garden early in November, 1&10, when
there were thirty-one exhibitors pf com
plete cars and twenty c)ncer1s show
ing parts and accessories.
Exhibits Numerous.
In this years show some faint con-
certion of the wonderful growth of ths
industry can be gained from the state
ment that during the two weeks Of The
pre- sent exhibition no less than 101 mo-
,torcar exhibits will be shown, together
With 57S accessory and motorcycle eX-
htits
Curing the first week OF the show no
less than sixty-rine distinct types of
leaSure vehicles will be shown, while
during the second week. whica is de-
voted to commercial cars. 20 less t..aI:
thirty-two> different MAX IS of trucks
Wal i,e shown.
According TO the official statistics of
the show the lowest priced car sells for

while General Manager Reeves claims
that the total value of the exhibits is

ers and repair kits, robe rails, foot
rails. extra seats for the mechanic or
others, storm fronts and many other
things which are often necessary, but
which in any event add to the comfort
and serviceability of the cars.
Change Noted.
In the past the buyer had to secure
these fittings for himself at retail prices,
with the result that the total expendi-
ture amounted often 10 hundreds of dol
lars, most of which is now included in
the original purchase price without ex-
tra cost or worry to the buyer.

Penn on right track.

A Pennsylvania alumnus tells me
that Carl Williams. head of the foot
ball committee, is responsible for the
latest change In the eligibility code
at the Philadelphia University.
Williams realizes that It is useless
for Penn to attempt to arrange games
with other colleges of standing as
long as it recruits its teams from the
medical, law, and veterinary depart
ments, although, as 1 recall it, Will
liams had his first experience at an
ether college-Oberlin-b he be-
came a real star for the Quakers.

TOO PROUD TO TELL
His Relatives How Hard Up He Was So
He Said.

Burlington, Feb. 2s--several cases
were disposed of in city court yester-
day all the offences being minor ones
except that Of man who said his name
was Percy Hunter. who was arraigned
on the charge of being a tramp. Hunt
er has been hanging around the city

OF the ordinary except two feet which
seemed to be bothering him some. He
said Yesterday morning in court that
he had been hard up for some time
and in the course of the hardships en-
conntered he had frozen his feet which
had made it difficult for him 70 earn his
living. He said he had good people"
who could help him, but he did not
want them to know of his plight. The
court sentenced him to 80 days In jail
for vagrancy, to which charge he plead
ed guilty.
John Kennedy of Wallingford, Clifford
Shambo and Louis Phille of this city
were fined SIS and costs for intoxication.

thur Dennis, who has figured in court
before was also fined SIS and costs OF

not guilty. He took an appeal and
