Reform in Postal Service.
Washington.-Post General
Hitchcock expressed his approval
Of the proposal to remove the
post Office department from political
influences.
Il believe" he said. that the entire

this be done was contained, In SO

1910. 1t is apparent that the highest
effectiveness in the conduct of this
tremendous business establishment
cannot be attained while thousands of
postmasters continue to be political
appointees. AS an important reform.
presidential postmasters of all grades
should be placed in the classified
service"

Moriarty received his G last year and

than made good.
To fill the positions left vacant by Hart

and might be developed into a star

Special Dispatc to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEXINGTON, Va, September 21.-Pros-
poets for a winning foot ball team at
Washington and Lee are exceptionally
bright this year.
Under the direction OF Coach Riley the
men are fast rounding into shape Nearly
fifty candidates are being put through
the preliminaries daily. Three squads are
running through signals every afternoon.
AS yet no scrimmage has been held, but
this will be started in few days.
The coach, although confident that his
team will be returned the winner from
the Georgetown game in Washington Oc-
tober IL, seems anxious to develop the
team slowly, so that it will not be stale
for the big games toward the end of the
season, as was the case last year.
Seven Of last years regulars are out
working for their old places. There is a
possibility of Burk and one or two other
old men coming out in the next week or
two.
OF the 1911 team the following are
back at work: Moore. center; Rogers and
Stewart, guards; Capt. Miller and Niles.
tackles; Barker and Francis. ends; 1-aI-
terry. quarter: Beuring and Bone. backs.
There are many new men Of great
promise out for the team. Nearly e, cry
member of last years team who is back
will be hard put to keep his place.
Some of the most promising men are
Barrow and Barton. centers; Walton.
Finnerty and Harris, guards; Schultz
Whitelaw and Neblett. tackles; Ramsey.
Heat and Motley, ends: Smith. quar-
ter; Peck, PEBBLES. Terry, Carver and
Wade backs.
1t Is impossible to pick the team that
will start against Georgetown on the 18th
Of October. There Is no doubt, however,
that Washington and Lee will send to
Washington an exceptionally heavy and
fast team, and the best coached team
that has ever represented 1t.
The 1912 schedule arranged by Man
ager McWane is as follows:
September % Medical College Of Virginia. at
Lexington
October 5-Western Maryland. at Lexington.
October 12-Georgetown, at Washington.

c. j. BASKET BALL
Sport Again Established on
Hilltop.
MADIGAN Is THE MANAGER
Team to Come Directly Under the
Executive Board, Which Will
Control It Entirely
MADIGAN is THE MANAGER

At meeting Of the executive board
at Georgetown yesterday 1t was finally
decided to reinstate basket ball. 1t was
decided. though that the management of
the team will be wholly under the super
vision of the executive board and will be
handled wholly by this board, so that a
good team can be looked forward to.
Jim Madigan of Houlton. Me, was elect
ed manager of the team. Madigan is
a senior at the college. The manager
will begin work Immediately in getting
games and proposes to have an excellent
schedule.
The sport will be on the same level as
foot ball and base ball, and only 6.
B. B. will be awarded the members Of
the team.
No action was taken on the hall where
the games will be played. The Arcade
was used for this purpose last year, but
1T is doubtful If this place will be used
again.
The captain Of the team will be chosen
some time in the near future. when Man
ager Madigan sees fit to call the men
who played last year together.
