Georgetown Team
is Improving Fast

WASHINGTON, Nny-4-Afthongn
h Georgetown football team was
scored upon by North Carolina in the
contest ut Richmond. still IL should
feel proud of it's showing. The
coaches had keyed the team up for
the Carlisle game. and had strong
hopes OF winning the big contest.
They worked all during the fall with
the hope of winning from the red
skins. II is the usual thing that
after a big game similar to the one
that was staged on Georgetown field
against Carlisle the team would mees
with a setback All during the past
week III men have been worked very
easily and given the rest that they
needed. The coaches feared that If
thy worked the team hard the eleven
would 60 stale.
When the team left for Richmond
the coaches believed that the men
were In for a hard game. because
with Dunn out OF the lineup the tea IN
by no means looked formidable. White
was In very poo physical condition,
and was forced into the contest.
One thing noticeable about the Blue
and Gray eleven ia the distinct style
of football played by the team in
both halves OF the last two contests.
The team never seems to get under
way until the last half has begun. At
Richmond saturday Georgetown look
ed very weak against North Carolina
during tha early part OF the contest.
Fol a time It looked as though the
hilltop team was in for a defeat. Now
1t is believed that the team before
the contest starts does not receive
enough warming up. This might ac-
count for he weak showing made
by the men in the early part Of the
game. because never do they run
through signals n longer than two
minutes before the ga me starts. Every
team this seaso has been able to get
the jump on the Georgetown eleven.
and at no time has Georgetown been
able 10 show its best form IN the carry
part of the contest.
The coaches are to work on this
fault during the coming two weeks.
They are going TO try TO get the team
started early. SO that they will NOT be
forced to play an uphill game.
Several changes are to be contem-
plated during the remaining games
Captain Hegarty and Petritz, the two
tackles, were injured in the game Sat
urday. and they will not be able TO
play until the Virginia game. Pet
ritz injured his knee early In the con-
test and was snpplanted by Moriarty.
captain neEaFtf injured noth MS knee
and his ankle. He is at present Mt
the Georgetown University hospital,
and will remain there until the In
juries have healed sufficiently to al
low him to don a suit again.
The showing of Moriarty at tackle
was gratifying, and there is a strong
possibility OF him playing in this po-
sition during the remainder OF the
season. Moriarty liz fast In getting
down the field under kicks. and this
Is what the team Ia after.

President Lynch
Sees the Great Ban

.SEWY1Rk. New. Mystery still
attends the movements of the ba Sc ball
magnates. Following the guInshoe
visit of c. w. Murphy. of the Cubs,
to confer here with G. P. Taft, and
later with Horace Fogel. of the Phil
adelphia National league club, comes
a hurried trip by President Thomas
j. Lynch. TO Chicago. presumably to
confer with Ban Johnson, president of
the American league. Murphy arriv-
ed in Chicago on Saturday at almost
the same moment that Lynch showed
UP there, but according to the latest
information. they did not meet.
1t is understood that Lynch's pub
lished announcement that Fogel must
prove the charges rejecting upon the
honesty OF the recent National league
race or be driven out of the league
has stirred up a hornets nest, Fogel
has become defiant and says thai
Lynch will not have the unanimous
support of the seven other club own
ers when the National league meets
on November 26th TO take final action
In Fogei's case, 1t Is said in baseball
circles that Murphy. bitterly opposed
to Lynch, has suddenly decided to take
Fogels- end of the controversy for
the purpose OF publicly embarrassing
the president OF the league. With
out Murphy's vote the league can do
nothing to FogeL.
Lynch's trip to see johnson, there
fore, Is taken TO mean that IL the Ma
tional league finds that II is impossi-
BILE to deal with Fogel on the lines
laid down by Lynch, the National
Johnson and Hermann. will begin
a investigation on its w account.
Two weeks ago it was boldly stated
by Lynch that the commission would
discipline Fegel II the National league
failed to act. Lynchfs sudden desire
to confer with Johnson may be
prompted by n desire to find out what
can be done. Johnson and Hermann
are known TO be in favor Of drasno
action not only in the case of Fogel,
but also OF Murphy. Lynch has been
openly insulted by Murphy. also
charged with something worse than
prejudice in handling the umpire
stan. II Murphy. therefore, sticks
TO Fogei il is believed tina the conn
mission will attempt to hand some
thing 10 both OF these worthless. In
which event It is predicted. Mr.. Taft
might become either curious as to the
case or bent upon fghting the COM
mission TO a finish.
Baseball men who are dis~interested
seem TO think that the trouble over
Fosel is slowly but surely growing
into a dangerous proposition. Lynch
has been advised by an eminent legal
authority that the National league can
investigate the charges against the
Philadelphia magnate, and, X the
evidence warrants. Fogel can be voted
out OF the councils of the organize
ton. This legal status also applies TO
the commission. hut there's an I'M
preston In some quarters that base
bail cannot stand a seige In the State
and Federal courts. To a nan up
a tree it looks as II the easiest way
TO settle the controversy Is TO pay the
price asked by Fogel for his retire
ment, but so far the ~hagnates have
shown an inclination to treat Fogels
demands with levity.

special scholarships and privileges
such as often fall to the lot Of star

love Of the game. and to give Medi-
cal College Of Virginia a name in the
football world. Also. their great aim
is to defeat their rivals, the Univer>
sity College Of Medicine in the yearly
contest. They have a great team this

Medical College OF Virginia Is
elated at the victory of the football
team over ". p. I. and already the
students are talking of being eligible
for championship honors.
There liz no doubt tha the medicos
have turned out a grand eleven this
year. Pat Krebs mas performed won-
ders. but he certainly has excellent
material.
Most all of the men are veterans.
Foster, Schenck, Johns, Hardy and
Elder are a great auintette. Arnold,
BrockweIl and Walker are regarded
as equal to the first five named Con-
s%eauently eight of the eleven may be
said to be stars.
Medical college has It's own eligibility
rules and any bona fde student at the
college may play on the team. From
a strictly amateur point of view two
OF the varsity squad would be barred
any OF the regular college teams IN
the ground OF professionalism. These
men are Ayers and Hedgepeth. The
first was the star pitcher of the Rich
mond baseball club of 1912. He Is now
the property of the Washington Amer
league club. The second is the
crack left handed pitcher of the Pc
terSburg club.
Both Men Are Eligible.
Under the rules of Medical college
these men are perfectly eligible 10
play on the college eleven, but their
presence makes professionals % every
man who plays with them and every
nan who plays against them. For
this reason Medical College Of Viz
g1nia Is not likely to get many games
with the big colleges. no matter how
strong an eleven they put out. II will
aiso serve as an excuse to refuse games
by teams afraid to tackle the medical
men.
Undoubtedly Medical college would
be fully as strong without Ayres n

Hedgepeth. but the student body has
declared them eligible and they play
on the team and Is to be congratulated
on it's sturdy stand in allowing any
bona fide student win a place on the
team. The college men are also to
be congratulated for not playing these
men Under assumed names as other
colleges have been accused of doing,
generally with excellent grounds.
Some day or other a sensible anna
teur ruling will be made which will
make these men eligible TO play on
their college eleven without impair
ing the amateur standing of the men
who play with or against them. When
a. player plays for the love of the game
or to advance the reputation of his
college he is just as good an amateur
as any other student, even If he has
received a salary for playing ball dur
ing the summer. He surely is as good
an amateur az a student waiter; a
question that has been discussed many
timex
Rules Are Too Strict.
An amateur IL one who does not
make a business Of a particular
branch of sport. one who does not
play for any pecuniary reward. This
ruling could be made elastic enough
to cover all cases.
The present amateur rules are too
strict. They are violated constantly
and they afford an excuse for one coll
lege team to bar another on the pre-
text OF professionalism when the real
reason is that the team refusing to
play is afraid Of meeting defeat.
