What promises to involve Georgetown
University and the University of Vir-
ginia In another bitter wrsngie with
serious consequences resulting in the
severing, OF athletic relations. Is the
ANNOUNCEMENT today that Virginia In
tends to go through with her protests
on Derby's eligibility. N%E ..,3-
Advices from, Charlottesville reveal
the fact that Derby and Rheinschild
have beenYprotested. Rheinschlld has
been declared ineligible, and 1t: was
intimatedt at Georgetown that Derby
would not ;be played against either Viri
ginia or v. r. ]. Supervisor ofjathletics
Mt Georgetown, Vincent Daley, said
today that nothing definite had been
heard from Virginia, and that Derby
would be played unless Virginia could
show that he was Ineligible.
Dailey's announcement today puts u
different phase on the situation which
would appear to show that Georgetown
was prepared to fight the Virginia as
sertion that Derby was Ineligible. I'm
der the existing conditions both uni
Nersities have right to question the
status OF athletes and Georgetown will
no doubt hurry to the front with
proofs as to Derby's right to play on
ahe team.
The fact that Rheinschild was de-
'rlared Ineligible by Father Kilroy, fac
.nlty supervisor of athletics at George
town, would make 1t appear that Vr-
.Einia's protestation of the player was
Wen founded. AS soon as Georgetown
found out the facts OF the case Rheims
child was Immediately barred
There is little doubt that 4
acting we'll within its rights and accord
,hg to the agreement between the two
3 universities has moved for the best in
z terests OF Its team. Just what George
. town is going to do is a matter Of con
: lecture.
Z 1t is not to be supposed that either
Georgetown or Virginia Is seeking to
a.. disrupt relations. Matters OF this kind
) are taken UP every year and in some
, cases have been made more of than
was warranted. 1t is thought by those
high In athletic affairs at the Hilltop
, that the question will be satisfactorily
" and speedily arranged.
At the same time Virginia and George.
town just before their annual struggle
always have men to protest or players
whose eligibility Is questioned This Is
lent than Is warranted and sometimes
made more of than II calculated to NEE,
with the approval of interested and dis.
interested parties.
Georgetown Is playing Washington
College tomorrow afternoon. The Ches.
terwood team. under the direction OF
John Porter. the former captain and
fullback OF last years team. has gone
= through the season without a single
, defeat In an enviab1e record
Washington College first spranG into
prominence In 1910 when Mike Thomp.
Son had charge of II. Coming from
obscurity. the team jumped into the
. hpl1
low score, springing the most complete
u surprise and astonishing the foot ball
world by holding George Washington
i TO an S-to-5 score on the following Sat.
urday.
-. This year the team has shown exccp.
fionally good form, has a number OF
1ast players and runs off its plays with
dash and surety that may argue an.
. olher surprise for Georgetown. Will.
Washington College Is in no danger OF
defeating the Blue and Gray. owing t,
the fact that the team Is too light tC
make much more than a hard fight foi
: one or two periods, the game should b,
well worth seeing.
The Maryland Aggies and GaIlaudet
are hooking up tomorrow at College
Park IN their annual game. Last veal

Aggtes coming out ahead. The Agglc.

have finally gotten into the propel
shape where the Gallaudet team Il
likely to find them hard to scor,
against.
The game, however, should he wei
