Georgetown Receives Reply
That Statements Were
Unauthorized.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

GEORGETOWN and Virginia are again
on good terms after q week OF suspense,
during which It was thought that there
might develop q feeling that would re-
suit In breach OF athletic relations.
Not only has feud been averted and
this sections most attractive intsrcol-
legiate contests been assured for an.
other year at least, but the indications
are that the conneections between the
two universities are stronger and more
friendly than in years.
In view OF recent articles, Graduate
Manager Vincent bailey, of GEORGETOWN
gave out the following statement. which
explains itself:
Since November IS, last, there have
appeared, from time to time, in the
columns Of washington, Baltimore. and
Richmond daily papers statements sup-
posedly emanating from sympathisers
OF the University OF Virginia, not only
crfticising Gorgetown's method Of
interpreting her eligibility rules. but
even going SO far as to accuse her OF
openly disregarding her code.
Paid No Attention.
Up to the present little or no atten-
tion has been paid to these statements.
but so repeatedly have these charges
been made, and even the names made
public of the supposed ineligibles whom
Georgetown 10 accused OF harboring,
that the question has been asked why
some one In authority at Georgetown
has not come forth and answered tho
charges: why those In authority have
remained silent when the good name
and reputation Of the entire university
have seemed to be at stake.
In justice to the Georgetown student
body. to her alumni. and to her many
friends. we believe the time has come
when we can remain silent no longer;
when an explanation OF this same ST.
lence should be given to the public. For
those who are not I'm a position to have
the information. we wish to state that
II Is understood by the athletic author
tiles of both the University of Virginia
and OF Georgetown University that all
difficulties relating to matters of eiigi-
bility are settled privately by these
same authorities. This agreement was
entered into when the University Of Vir-
ginia and Georgetown University re-
suined athletic relations in 1906. and
has been scrupulously adhered to since
that time by both parties.

Cartridge, New, Wants
To Stage Bout in July

CHICAGO, Jan. "A new Golefeld,
eager to get on the map through the
medium Of pugilism. has sprung UP
among the sagebrushes of Nevada.
The town Is named Cartridge, and citi-
zens thereof have made lid of s10o. 006
for the heavyweight championship fight
between Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn

Jack Curley Is in receipt of a tele-
gram making the offer.
Il don't know where Cartridge is.''
said Cuiley. but have answered tho
message and asked for more particu-
lars. The telegram says the mining
men Of the town are willing to hang
up the purse, and II they can show me
something we probably will do bust
ness. Such an offer, I hardly think,
will be duplicated, and we would be
foolish not to accept it, providing IL is
made in good faith"
