a-Recent sharp insinuations regarding
the purity of Virginia athletics coming
from a Washington newspaper, the writer
OF which purports to express the senti-
ment of Georgetown University itself,
has infiamed the entire college community

an article of scandal, which will test the
utmost diplomatic relations between the
two institutions in order to avert a rup-
ture such as unfortunately existed five

in athletic councils here do not consider
Georgetown in any way a principal TO the
matter, but rather the goat of certain un-

Sets His Own Pace.

Frederick l.. set his own pace. and at
one time was six lengths in the lead. He
was taken to the center of the track in
the homestretch. where the going was
dry. and won under wraps. Tartar had
no trouble in disposing of Leochares.
Frederick l. is a fast youngster, but,
unfortunately, practically all his starts
since leaving Havre de Grace have been
over a heavy track. With dry going in
his favor. ii is doubtful IL any two-year-
old can take his measure.
War Horn was the class of the third
race, which was at mile and three-six-
teenths. and after taking pace to the far
turn drew away To win by five lengths
from Patton. The early going was set by
Breaker Boy, and there was a strong tip
out on this one. Breaker Boy had all the
run taken out of him after going a mile
and but for the fact that Jockey Fergu-
son took him TO the center of the track
i'm the homestretch would have given
Patton a better run for second place, he
finishing a length away.

entirely satisfactory. In return we have
our regulations and they have approved
ours. incidentally, | might remark, both
are extremely similar. The only compact
is that we both live up to them. Those
articles under fire are: No student who
has been member or substitute MEM
ber of a foot ball or base ball team OF
another college or university shall be per-
mitted to become member OF elther
team of this university during his first
session. but in no case shall such student
be eligible for these teams at this univer-
sity unless he shall have been student
here at least five months.
THE faculty committee on athletics is
directed to assume responsible charge of
the details of the athletic situation, and
permit playing of intercollegiate games
with such colleges only as express gem
eral conformity with the code of rules
adopted by this faculty.
THE term general conformity as used

the faculty to mean conformity in regard
to period of residence, maximum period OF

Todd was loath to rest any blame upon

athletic relations between the two schools
demanded this action on the part of Vir-
ginia. AS said before, no official charges
have been sent here from Georgetown.
However. these attacks appear to emanate
from one close to affairs of the Blue and
Gray institution, and they should be
smothered before feeling becomes too in
tense.
Student interest in the approaching
game has grown to fever heat 1t is
figured that no Virginia team that has
ever gone up from Charlottesville will
carry such craving for victory. Mem
bers of the Virginia team regret the dis
barment of Rheinschild and Derby, per-
sonally feeling confident that they can
lick Georgetown with these stars in the
game. There is sure to be plenty of Vir-
gina money at the last moment.

Aggies' Advantage in Weight.

The Aggies will probably have slight
advantage in weight today. Their back
field is probably little heavier than that
of Gallaudet, while their line will also
be a little huskier. This should not serve
them to any great extent, though, as far
as the score is concerned.
Georgetown has reported that it will
use substitutes during the greater part
of it's game with Washington College
today and that it will use no plays of any
variety for fear Virginia scouts will get
them. If the Blue and Gray scrubs fill
in during the greater part of the con-
test, the game is liable to be closer and
harder fought than would be expected.
1t is not probable that Washington Col
lege will be able to score, but if the
regulars are not in there is small lkeli-
hood that the Blue and Gray will tally
many points.
No predictions were made as regards
the result of the Technical and Central
High game. 1t is certain that both teams
will give their best efforts toward the ac-
complishment of victory. Tech will
have about the same kind of lineup
as will Central, and there is not likely
to be much difference in the weight of
the two elevens. 1t Will be a typical
Tech-Central contest. Any game which
is played with these two scholastic ag-
gregations as contepders is not going to
be won without the losing eleven giving
all that is in it.

THREE GAMES TO

Should Be Very Close.

AGAINST DICKINSON
GaIIaudet and M. A. c. Booked
for Close Game-George-
towns Scoring.
BY n. c. BYRD.

Three of the games to be played on To-
cal gridirons today will be hard fought
The game in which Catholic University
will meet Dickinson will be bitterly con-
tested because of the desire of the Brook
landers to make a good showing; the
game which the Maryland Aggies and
Gallaudet will play IS always given the
best that is in the teams. and there never
was a meeting between Tech and Central
in which both elevens have not put forth
almost herculean efforts to finish in
front. 1t may be also that the contest
at Georgetown will be a hard one. es-
pecially so if the Blue and Gray fails to
send in it's regulars. as has been reported
will be the case.
Catholic University, while it will proba-
bly, be outclassed to a certain extent by
Dickinson, will work mighty hard tc
make the right kind of showing. The
contest in which the Brooklanders met
the Villanova eleven was one of the hard.
est played which has taken place here
this year, Notwithstanding the fact that
the northern aggregation was much the
stronger.
Dickinson is here with much more
powerful combination of men than has
the Brookland institution. but it will
have to work to get away with the game.
because OF the fact that Catholic tnlVer-
sity will have increased confidence be-
cause of the victory of last week, its
first of the season
There has not been contest played
between the Gallaudet and Maryland Ag-
ricultural College elevens which has not
been of the slap-bang variety, with both
aggregations fighting to the last ditch
to keep away defeat. The Kendall Green
ers held the advantage in the score last
year by the small margin of two points,
the result of safety in the early periods
of the contest, until the last two min-
utes of play, when Hoffecker, this year. S
captain of the Aggies. broke away and
ran forty yards for a touchdown. The
final score was 6 to >.

MR.. RoosEVELTs COLUMBUS SPEECH.

Theodore Roosevelt in the epochal address on
present-day governmental problems which he made
al Columbus today, appealed to the philosophy and
the utterances of Lincoln for forfcaton of almost
all his most advanced proposals. The emancipation
of the last generation is summoned to sustain the
new emancipation proposed for this generation.
Never has Roosevelt impressed so forcibly in this
speech the realization that his chosen work is, like
that of Lincoln, Of emancipation.
The rugged figure of Roosevelt aAame with
courage and conviction as the champion of the peo-
pie themselves, never stood out bigger and holder
than in this address. 1t is courageous presenta-
ton, for while it will convince people of the
desrability of supporting him, it will doubtless cost
him the support of some others.
The outcome, however, is not difficult to judge
if we look back few months and make a sweeping
survey of recent developments Inc two great
dominating keynote utterances of the campaign OF
1910 we're:
The Wnona speech by President Taft.
The Osawatomie speech by Mr.. Roosevelt
The President, at Winona, committed himself
to the utmost that sandpatism could demand-that
the Aldrich tariff was the best enacted.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his Osawatomie speech, took
vigorous step forward from the most democratic
position he had yet assumed.
Roosevelt forward; Taft backward
The two notable political utterances of this year
are the Taft speech on Lincons birthday, and that
of Roosevelt today.
Taft denounced the prosressives as "neurotics. >
Roosevelt presents their case summons Lincoln to
sustain him in it, accepts full responsibility for the
most vigorous statement of progressive demands
and rests his case with the people upon it.
Roosevelt forward; Taft backward
These two contrasts, Osawatomie against Wi
mona, Columbus against the "neurotics" outburst
give the gage of the two men, the measure of the
nations opportunity this year.
Will it have Roosevelt and 60 forward or Taf
and go backward?
If the matter be left to the popular expression
to the masses of the people, there can be no uncer
tainty about the answer.

HANGING UP A PATRONAGE PRIZE.

Two factions of North Carolina Republicans
are fighting for control. The President having nom-
mated several members of one faction for Federal
Offices, the other threatened to send an ant-Taft
delegation to Chicago
Note how easily the President settled it all:
He withdrew the nominations and hung up
those jobs a capital prize. The faction that wins
gets the jobs.
Of course, the winning faction will be for Taft
because the real purpose of maintaining party
there is to get the jobs
No wonder Senator Bourne observes that the
purchase Of votes for Federal patronage debauches
not only the parties to the transaction, but the ma
ton itself"
Yet it is on that very debauchery that the ma

pies case and has recently done an effective public
service. II has sent circular letter to newspapers
Legislators judges, ETC., all over the country care
fully stating the facts in this case, and asking pub
licity of them, we'll as legislative consideration.
This is practical way of getting the facts about
such cases before the country. There are thousands
of like instances. If the people realized their num-
Der and gravity there would be early reform of court
procedure that would make such cases impossible.
If newspapers and public-sprited citizens would
follow the example of the Detroit News, the lesson
would be impressed on the country, and reform
would come.
Recently the executive of a Washington street
company served notice the city government
that if universal transfer bill were passed. it would
be fought to the last ditch in the courts, AND AT
LEAST FIVE YEARS WOULD BE NECESSARY
TO GET AN ADJUDICATION.
MEANWHILE NOT A SINGLE TRANSFER
WOULD BE ISSUED UNDER THE PROVISION
OF THE ACT.
In Washington, as in Detroit, the laws delays
constitute the bulwark of privilege.
1t is so everywhere. If the specific cases were
generally understood, as result Of widespread
campaign of education such the Detroit paper
has undertaken, reform would be expedited, and the
justification for criticism of the courts would be
largely removed.
