There will be many to regret that Faith

of sports at Georgetown. His clean-cut
policy of last year and the splendid man.
ner in which he conducted affairs brought
him into prominence and caused him to
be exceptionally well liked by all with
whom he came in contact.
Georgetown went through the most sue

one of the moving spirits in the pro-

strumental in procuring an excellent
coach Father Emmett has keen in
sight into the affairs of the college, and
there is little than can be done without
his approval. He probably is closer TO

that the champions Of this season were
not as strong as those of previous
years, and their chances of victory
were not good. That was proved by
the results of the first contests

amateurs are due to win the inter-

have been taking part in the games
