&c. v. j. MAY NOT
HOLD ITS MEET
1t Is Reported That George
Washington Indoor Games
Will Not Take Place.
LACK OF FINANCES
GIVEN AS REASON
Local Colleges Will Have
Strong Nucleus for E|evens
Next Fall.
BY n. C. BYRD.

Inc George Washington University may
not hold its track meet this year. It is re-
ported on credible authority that the
annual set OF games will not take place.
A lack of money to finance the meet
Is the reason given as to why it will pr OBJ
ably not be held. At present the Univer-
sity Athletic Association is in debt some
thing like $500 as a result of the failure
of the last two meets to pay all the ex-
penses of running them, and there ap-
pears to be no one who is willing to
shoulder the burden by taking up the
reins this winter.
The school id not stand back of the
meet which was held last year in a finan-
cial sense, and if it Is to take place this
season 1t will have to be under the per-
sonal responsibility of whoever manages
it. Whether anybody will be willing to run
the risk of dropping a few hundred dollars
by taking charge of the games is a ques-
ton. 1t Is probable that the meet could
be run as a money-maker If directed iI
the right manner, but the person or per-
sons who managed it would very likely
make himself or themselves. whichever
the case might be, liable for the debt
which now stands.
AS the matter now stands it appears
very much as though the meet will not
be held. 1t is to be hoped. though, thai
somebody will get back of it and shove i,
along so that the games will not be
dropped. Some kind of arrangement
ought to be made whereby the event
could be pulled off without a great deal
of trouble A few hundred dollars in a
school which numbers as many students
as does George Washington should not
prove such a great obstacle to overcome
George Washington has a great many
supporters in this city and there would
of the meet which has been one of the
annual features of the indoor season.
Unless somebody gets back of the
George Washington meet and shoves it
along, there will be only one indoor set
of games here this year. This will be
a bonanza for the Georgetown meet. but
it will hardly provide enough sport for
the school and college track squads nor
is the one meet likely to satisfy the pub
lie. There is not the least doubt in the
world that the followers of track ath-
letics in the District will support two
big meets If both are of high class.
Another game of indoor base ball will
be played this evening at the Arcade.
The Nationals and the Arcade teams will
meet. Both will be made UP of the best
semi-pro and professional performers in
the District.
The Eastern High School foot ball team
will be rendered a banquet at the home
of Greer, the lad who played exception
ally well in the line all year for the
team. 1t is expected that the coach, cap
tains and others will make speeches.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

There is much speculation as to what
the will of John T. Brush provides so
far as the ball club and McGraw are con-
cerned. 1t is believed by some who were
close to the late president of the New
York club that he recommended the cleo
ton of McGraw to the presidency of his
club. Hampstead and McCutcheon, to
whom Brush turns over his affairs, are
not experienced base ball men, and for
this reason would not be of much help to
the New York club in the councils Of
the league. McGraw, on the other hand.
is not only good field general. but he is
familiar with the political end of the
game and knows the ms and outs Of the
National League. 1t is argued that
Brush knowing this, would have PREFER
ed him to be at the head of the club to
any one else.
Rumor that the club is to be sold is
strenuously denied. That New York club
has been gold mine. and it is not likely
that Brush would want his estate weak
ened by disposing of its greatest asset.
It is whispered among those who might
be in the know that a sensational deal
will be pulled off during the American
which will send Hughey Jennings to the
New York club and bring Bill Donovan
back from Providence to manage the
Tigers. Owner Navin of the Detroit club
SO the story goes, has consented to let
Jennings take charge of the New York
club, where he would prove great
drawing card and incidentally stand a
chance of improving condition. Just
how much foundation there is for this
story is hard to say, though those who
pretend to know whereof they speak in
sist that the announcement of the deal
will be made during the coming meeting.
That such a move would meet with IA
vor of all the other clubs in the league
goes without saying. Jennings at the
head of the Highlanders would make
wonderful difference in the team. and
with the chances of playing on the Polo
Grounds every club in the league would
be benefited for it would be the first time
since the American League has been rep
resented in New York that visiting clubs

game of the season came within an ace Of

guards. are the men who finish their
courses but Wilson is pretty sure to re-
turn. This season was. his first In foot
ball, but he developed wonderfully toward
the end, and is probably as capable
guard as there Is to be found on any of
the state teams. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was not considered by the Balti-
more papers in selecting an All-Mary-
land eleven. Koehler graduates and it
would be impossible for him to play even
if he did return. There is a possibility
though, that White will come back. In
the last two games played. both White
and Wilson displayed an article of bali
which would compare favorably with that
of the guards on any secondary college
eleven. Koehler has been considered one
of the best centerS in the state for three
years.
Catholic University and Gallaudet will
also have practically their whole teams
back while Georgetown will be the heav-
lest loser of the three. Catholic Univer-
sity played with practically a freshman
and sophomore eleven this year and it
should develop to a considerable extent in
another season. Gallaudet hardly loses
a man off this years squad. and 1t should
start the 1913 season with its most bril-
liant prospects in years. Georgetown will
lose one or two Of it's backfield men and
two or three of its most capable linemen;
White and Hegarty, its two strongest for
wards. will not be eligible next season.

Ever a happy and never blue year.
You cant do much? But you CAN do your shar-.
You can be gentle and kindly and fair,
You can forget all your rancor and hate,
You cut out all your crouch against fate;
Let's have gay year--not dull gray year
Make it a regular hip-hip-hooray year!
Here's to a glad year, never a sad year,
Get in and help so it won't be a bad year.
Make it your business to smile-not to frown,
Reach out your hand to the fellow who's down;
Work hard, of course but keep this in your ken,
Ours is world not of money-but Men
That means bright year, a laughing and light year
Yes, and an honest and noble and Night year.
Here's to a fair year-make it a square year,
Boost for a rich and royal and rare year!
Play the game hard but abide by the rules.
Leave all the cheating to swndlers and fools,
Here is your place. brother, come and take hold
Pick up the new burden throw off the old.
This is the new year-the smiling and true year,
Let's keep it smiling, a bthe-not blue year!
