It is the plan at Virginia to have the
Harvard game ike the place OF tnat
derbilt in Washington. The Chariottes-
Vile authorities figure they viii be able
to make almost as much money OUT OF
contest here with Vanderbilt as In tne
annual contest with the Blue and Gray. -
seems that all depends on the result o.
these negotiations as to Virginia stanu,
The real facts Will not come out until
later. but it is certain that there mas
been an insistent demand at Chario.tes-
vile for a discontinuance OF feia.io .i
with Georgetown and tnere ~ uispo'A

The loss OF this game Will proDapis
prove quite a blow to the nnanccs u w..
institutions, though it would be "orse

A change in the method Of handling
athletics at Georgetown IS contemplated
for next year and may be made before
the end of the next school term. The
whole system of athletics will be turned
over to the Alumni Association, and that
body will have direct charge OF practi-
cally everything IN the way OF sports on
the Hilltop.

satisfaction regarding the way athietlcs

Gallaudet-s victory over the Maryland

could have desired. The Kendall Green

the first ten minutes. but they did II de-

and failed to evidence much strength

He played a defensive game that was
way above the ordinary. and he played as

Drop kicking Yesterday Brickley showed
lust what he could do when circumstances
favored him. His work was exceptionally
accurate and proves just how valuable
player of that type is to a foot ball team.
A man who can kick goals from the field
is liable to score when his team does not
have the punch to carry the ball across.
1t might be mentioned in this connec-
ton that not touchdown has been
scored in any of the games in which

then Princeton turned and played Yale to
a 3-to-3 tie. and yesterdays game capped
the climax as the saying goes. Six
field goals are not often seen In one game,
and it is doubtful il the feat Of Brickley
has been duplicated more than once or
twice in the history of the sport 1t was
truly a remarkable performance and is de-

The Virginia and University of North
Carolina teams will adopt the method OF
numbering the players in their game In

was preached to both teams In order
to make 1t easier to identify the players
and it has been adopted. Ihat IS some

Many northern experts have stated that
they would like to see all players num-
bered because it would facilltate the
handling of the game and give the spec
tators a clearer idea as to what was
taking place. Several northern and west

it has given satisfaction whenever used

they do in basket ball.
