HILLTOP ATHLETES
UNDER SUSPENSION
Midyear Exams Give Condi-
tions to Track and Basket
Ball Stars.

The usual supply of conditions from the
mIdyear examinations, has placed a mum
Der OF the Georgetown athletes under the
faculty ban. which will keep them from
competing in intercollegiate competitions
for the next couple of weeks or until
the deficiencies are made up. The an
nouncement that the condition rule was
to be enforced came yesterday as soon
as the results of the January exams were
compiled At the time no names were
gwen out. and hence it is not known pub
licly as yet just how many Of the stu
dents come under the restriction.
Because of the ruling, though, three of
the basket ball players were prevented
from taking the southern trip, a reor-
ganization of the squad having been nee
essary at the last minute. Only seven
players were in the party that left the
tniCn station yesterday afternoon, one OF
the absent ones being a regular. Nor
will the suspended goal tossers be able
to go to EmmitSburg next Wednesday, al
though it may be possible for them to
play against the Navy at Annapolis
week from today.
Unless the suspended trackmen sue
coed in passing their f1unks off the early
part of the coming week, the suspensions
may result disastrously TO both the
Boston and Baltimore trips on the
18th. A fifth of the total number of
| candidates out are at present deficient
in their studies and will have to make
up to compete in either meet. Special
examinations next week will make it
possible for some Of the difficulties to he
cleared up SO that the ban may not re-
suit as destructNely as it would other
wise.
The disqualifying of number of ath-
letes after the midyear exams has al
ways taken place at Georgetown. The
January tests are usually very difficult
and it is hardly I" be expected that the
many students would come through the
whole program without few conditions
being obtained. The promptness with
which the ban was laid and the fact that
no complaint has been made against the
| justice of it only go tc show that those
who take part in the athletic activities
of the university are expected and COM
PEELED 10 satisfy all scholarship require
ments.
A meeting of the executive council of
the Georgetown University Athletic AS
ISOLATION is being held this afternoon to
, elect manager of the crew department,
the previous incumbent of that position
having resigned. The general belief
among the students is that Assistant
Manager Brosseau will be raised to the
| coveted position.
| Despite the abolition of the crew at the
university LOT the present year. II would
not be surprising to see Coach Dempse y
engaged in supervisory capacity of
| caring for the boathouse. A whole lot
of class rowing is to take place.
which will require some sort of over
seeing. If Dempsey can be persuaded
| to accept such position there is every
reason to believe that it will be given
him.
| The Georgetown Prep base ball man
! ager announces that he has succeeded in
| listing two games with Technical High.
Such series will certainly attract lot
of attention because of the strong rivalry
| between the two schools.
| The Georgetown College Journal hands
out the following in connection with the
article announcing the re-engasing of
! Fred Nielsen as foot ball coach for the
coming fall: His success with the men
/ on the gridiron this past fall. together
| with his accurate knowledge OF the new
| rules, is sufficient proof to attest to the
! fact that the move in holding him at
| Georgetown is both wise and popular
