THE FOOTBALL SEASON

Football, like baseball, seems to be
passing through period of change.
The small colleges, like the second
division teams, are coming into
their own. Yale has been defeated
this season by Virginia; Pennsylva-
MIA lost to a minor school of that
State; the University of Pittsburgh
administered a classic beating to
Navy; Chicago University barely
stopped Northwestern. Yesterday
Georgetown pounced upon North
Carolina and carried away all the
honors of an overwhelming victory
over a team that had been regarded
- holding about even chances to
win.
The great football event for many
years in this section was the clash
between Virginia and Georgetown.
Charges of unfair methods brought
coolness, and at length severance
of relations. The game, long a
fixed event in the sport calendar Of
this region, has been abandoned. 1t
ought to be restored.
A college generation is a short
span. The troubles of other years
should be adjusted and the splendid
old series resumed. 1t would be
good for both institutions, and for
the sport. Both teams are now en-
titled to rate among the country's
best, and it is a credit to neither
that the traditional relationship of
amiable enmity should not be re-
stored. A good deal was to be said
on both sides concerning the merits
of the argument behind that unfor-
tdnate breach; but it has all been
said as many times as is necessary.
Get together, and restore the great
est of the annual events in this part
of the country!

Arnold was not the only man who

fraudulent names have been put on the

The Telegraph continues
Corse Payton has prodrSed more
than 400 plays during his career as a

wife has played the leading feminine
role. II will be necessary to mention

CIVIC WORK IN SCHOOLS

1t took years to get bill through
Congress to permit the school build
ings of Washington to be used as
social centers. That privilege was
extended early in 1915, yet there
has been no rush to take advantage
Of the opportunity. So far there
are just two white schools where
any work of the kind is planned,
the Grover Cleveland and the James
Ormond Wilson Normal Schools.
Washington is not usually so slow
in taking advantage of such chances.
Where are the people who made the
valiant fight to get the bill passed
throwing open the schools for wider
use? Many citizens associations
have applied, and many of the
schools have been used for meetings.
But using the schools as meeting
places is only fraction of what is
meant by their use as social CEN
ters.
The Grover Cleveland School il
lustrates what can be done by intel
ligent community cooperation. That
school has shown how the school
building may be made to serve the
community. Why are other sections
so slow to take advantage of full
fiedged equipment such as is now
offered in nearly every school2

A bird census will be taken at the
start and comparisons made as the
work progresses. Special attention will
be given to the increase of insect eat
ing birds. Now 1900 fruit trees are
protected from their insect enemies by
spraying. This work of spraying Will
be lessened materially when the birds

Quail and grouse will he protected
