Is there such a thing as race 'supe-
riority or superiority Of nationality? ?
II seems plausible that a true solu-
ton OF the doestion might be found by
studying the elections made for the ALL
American football teams Do not turn
away here and say "Bosh! Any one with
weight and toughness can play football 9"
Granted that this is true enough. How
ever. these two requisites will not place
any man in line for the honor of selec-
ton for the All-American eleven. They
are perhaps important enough in their
way. but fall far toward the bottom OF
the list Of the necessary endowments and
for this reason: BRAINS, expressed in
capitals, is the primary requirement. and
ability to use them.
The player must also have, in the su-
perlative degree, perception. good snap
judgment, initiative, nerve and stamina
When brought together you find that the
same are the essentials necessary to give

Manager German. OF, the George Wash

George Washington will have a fast

troubles with the rest OF the Blue and
Gray aggregation, as Lawler and Don
nelly found the pace too fast and dropped
back. Both of these men are green and
nothing much was expected OF them, but
they both showed promise OF developing
into good middle-distance men.
RowIey Is Good.
Cook and RowIey. Georgetown men,
who finished eleventh and twelfth, re-
spectively, showed by their work to-day
that they will aid materially in putting
Georgetown on the cinder path map.
Rowley will prove a big point winner
for the Hilltop university in the middle
distances, as he is a half f-miler, pure and
simple. Cook will be hooked with CAL
lagher in the mile and twO-mile events
this winter, and his work to-day for the
first three miles stamped him as one OF
the best In the South.
The Cross Country Clubs victory was
a surprise to all, as the team trophy had
been conceded to Georgetown before the
race was run. Many OF the Baltimore
experts picked Elphinstone to defeat
Gallagher. but after the first mile all
agreed that the little Blue and Gray
stopper is the best in this neck of the
woods
To-day's race was the first cross-coun-
try event attempted by a George
town team in the past few years. That
a Hilltop athlete was able to breast the
tape in front. and that every man finished,
is all the more to Georgetown's credit.

When Washington fans flock to the
Florida Avenue ball yard next spring
they will hardly know the place. so
great will have been the improvements.
Groundkeeper Fitzgerald has been busy
every day since the season closed, and
while the space inside the fence looks
anything but inviting at present. 1t can
be seen at a glance that considerable
labor has been expended.
The infield from the rear Of the pitch
er's box has been raised fifteen inches.
Underneath the base paths, ashes two
feet deep have been placed. The space
directly back OF the catcher has been
sodded and slopes a trifie toward the
stands, so that water will drain on
easily.
A layer of loan eighteen inches deep
has been spread over the outfield and
sodded, and before the season opens a
screen ten feet high will have been
placed on top of the grand stand, direct
ly back of the catcher, as barrier for
the foul tips :
