is much to. be regretted. that the game
mas been called on, and a representative
81 the agricultural and Mechanical Col
Iege stated this morning that there was
general surprise in the school over the
action.
The matter which caused the cancella-
ton of the contest was the five-months
rule. North Carolina has a rule which
forbids the playing of a man unless he
has been in college that length of time.
It happens that Tenney. who played full
back at Brown University last year. is
at Agricultural and Mechanical now and
is playing on the team. North Carolina
objected to that and stated that it
would not play under such conditions.
notwithstanding that it had signed a
contract to play under the eligibility
rules Of Agricultural and Mechanical.
Jack Hegarty. one of the coaches at
A. and NJ, says that the defeat of
Georgetown was no surprise to him by
any means. He stated some time ago
THAT he figured his team would beat
Georgetown, and came out with the re-
mark after he saw the Blue and Gray
play the Navy that if he did not win it
would be the biggest surprise of his life.
In talking of the game this morning.
Heearty had the following to say:
Georgetown IS much weaker this year
than last. It does not have the offensive
strength, and Is not as capable in any de-
partment of play as it has been during

IT does at all, and things must be stirred

ing to the A. and NJ tutor, the four
men mentioned are good enough for any
team. Their work in yesterdays game
showed that they are undoubtedly among
the best in the section. Moriartys line
work stood out in contrast to that Of
any other man In the game. while Ber-
gen played a wonderful game on end.
Costello and Murray are both clever run

on the defensive.
