towns Lot in Pitt Game.

Georgetown's hope of landing a foot
ball game this season lies in the sue
cessfuI issue of the game scheduled
with West Virginia Wesleyan on Sat
urday. as expressed by the returning
Blue and Gray players who were un-
fortunate in their game with the Uni
Nersity of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh yes
terday when Joe Duffs team won by
2l-to-0 score.
There are many alibis on the Hilltop
today. Those who returned from the
Smoky City maintain that Pitt had the
advantage of all the breaks and that the
men coached by Exendine should have
had at least two touchdowns while two
Of those scored by the opposition were
practically gifts.
The fact remains, however, that so far
this season the Hilltoppers have tailed
10 score a single point against any OF
The rival eleVens met. The prospect OF
meeting West Virginia Wesleyan, con-
querors of the Georgetown eleven last
season, in a remarkable game replete
with shift formations and looping for
ward passes, is anything but pleasing

was brilliant in every way, and his de-
fense work classed with the best shown
on Forbes Field this season.
At the very start of the game after
the kickoff, Georgetown forced Pitt to
punt. Harry Kelly furnbled the twister
and Hastings picked the ball cleverly
from the ground and ran forty-five
yards for touchdown. During the re-
mainder of the quarter Pitt was literally
played off its feet, the crashing line play
OF the Georgetown team coupled with
exceptional work of the backf1eld left
little room for doubt as to Georgetown's S
strength. ::
In the second quarter Georgetown
stoutly maintained fits defense and with
two good forward passes, Weiser to Gu
sack, got TO within scoring distance OF
the Pitt line. Georgetown was outweigh
ed by the Pitt eleven and re-enforce-
ments came in the shape of bulkier
men in the third period. Murray, Weis-
er, McKenna, and Kelly took much of
the pounding from the Pitt team and
time was taken out repeatedly in the
third quarter to patch up the players.
Just before the end of the third per-
fod weiser's attempt to kick from the
Blue and Gray 40-yard line was blocked
by Carlson and He'll, pouncing upon the
ball was a second later given excellent
interference for a touchdown. With the
fourth quarter nearly gone Georgetown
made a desperate attempt to count,
weiser's pass being intercepted by Mil
ler.

ROOT GIVES VIEWS
ON CONSTITUTION
Senator Makes Suggestions for
Changes TO Be Discussed
by Convention.
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Senator Root has written a reply to n
letter from the Citizens Union which eaid
II would he glad to receive any statement
concerning some important matters that
will come before the constitutional con-
vent,on.
"Of course" the Senator says. there
should he no gerrymander or redistricting
OF the State for partisan purposes.
For many years / have actively advo-
Gated short ballot for state and county
officers
II think the granting OF franchises In
perpetuity should be prohibited.
81 am in favor Of granting broader
powers Of local action to cities and vii
lagos. with the right to adopt and amend
their own charters and laws regulating
their own municipal affairs, and a PROFIT
billion of special legislation by the Legis-
ldture concerning local municipal affairs.
81 am strongly In favor OF the non
partisan election OF municipal officers, and
I took an active part twenty years ago In
bringing about the separation Of municipal
elections from national and state cleo
lions in order that the municipal elections
might not be dependent upon national and
State politics
THE whole non partisan principle breaks
down IL the man who IL elected upon 1t Is
to he a partisan after he IL elected.
81 do not think that there should be a
total prohibition OF the passing OF private
claim bills by the Legislature
Il should require all such claims TO be
filed with the Secretary of state at n
specified time before the session OF the
Legislature: require a regular calendar
of them to be made. require that the
proper committee should hear the cases
Ia l..
cases and should render formal decisions
with IA statement Of the grounds of de-
cision and that the decisions should lie
published IN AN Official gazette with a
statement OF the vote in each case. that
the consideration of these decisions by the
Legislature should be altogether sepa-
rated from It's consideration Of public
measures and that tine Legislature should
he precluded from considering any other
claim unless upon an emergency message
from the Governor. There might well be
added to these u requirement Of roll
cal. and threc-fifths or two-thlrds vote.
