RALEIGH, January 24.-Jack Hegarty
eX-GeorGetown star, who is coaching the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College team here. adds two in
teresting chapters to the Firginia-North
arolina-Georgetown controversy that has
destroyed foot ball games in this circuit
When Virginia broke with Georgetown
ity. Replying. he declared that Nat Cart
nell. the great Carolina sprinter, had
caused him to offer to bring men to
Chapel Hill who could defeat Virginia.
Cartmell denied Hegarty's letter. and
Hegarty issues a further statement to-
night.
The Georgetown man quotes two let
ters from University of North Carolina
men, one of which is written to another
athlete. in which Carolina's coach is rep
resented as taking care of a prospec-
tive player and inducing other men to
come to North Carolina University.
Another represents it's writer as making
an effort to persuade Russell the A. and
NJ star pitcher, to leave Raleigh and so
to Chapel Hill. Commenting upon these,
Hegarty says:
1T is now a question of veracity be-
tween Cartmell and me. 1 hope to pro-
duce correspondence which settles that.
However, if ! had been elected coach at
the university, and two or three friends
had stood the entrance examinations, en-
tered in regular form and played foot
ball. would they have been any worse
than a man who entered the university
in response to these letters?
The fight between the states two lead
ing institutions has become the fercest
since their breach eight years ago

1, <ELks TO HAVE GOAT.
Animal Will Be Passed on from An
 sonia to New Ledge Which is to Be Instituted in Willimantic.

:. Ansonia lodge of EIks is to lose It's goat, says the Sentinel District Dep uty Martin J. Cunningham of Danbury lodge, who made his official visit here last week, announced that the grand exalted ruler, Edward Leach, had granted dispensation to Willimanti for 8 lodge which will be instituted be- tween March 26 and April l. Accord ingly the goat, which Ansonia has had almost two years, will be passed on to the new Willimantic lodge. It will be accompanied to Willimantic by the An sonia lodge in force and presented to the baby lodge of Elkdom.
 Almost two years ago, when An- sonia lodge was instituted, Greenwich lodge came here with the goat, which wore a blanket with the legend, An sonia Has Our Goat" The goat was presented to Ansonia lodge with the understanding that it would be kept nere until another lodge of Elks was instituted in the state. Ansonia thought it would be a long time be- fore it got rid of the goat as all the cities in the state of acceptable size WilIimantic will new have the animal some time judging from the pros poets.
 Now Fat and Sleek.
 There was much fun when the goat came here and it was a problem for time taking care of him. At first he was housed in a stable, but was in the way there. Finally the lodge secured quarters for him at Hillside Home, where he has prospered and grown fat under the care of Supt. Peter Foy.
 Not long after he came here the goat was taken out for walk one Sunday by a few of the lodge mem / bers. He felt rather frisky and the men were glad to get him back to his quarters.
 Mir. Foy has started to groom the goat for his change of residence, and when the time comes to transpor him to his new home he will be all fussed up in a new blanket, latest spring style. The goat will be a hero for a time once more and bids fair to form a prominent feature of the institution ceremonies in Willimantic.
