then. again, IL is beneficial indirectly
because any one interested in boxing
is led to go to work at physical cuI-
ture and general training to build up a
physique so that he can box well. Why,
were to take up boxing, and the Incl
dental training that goes with it, we
would soon have such a race of men as
the ancient Greeks dreamed Of. Talk
about eugenics! Well, boxing and
eugenics would go together pretty
well, methfnks. ] am sure that the
combined effect of boxing. football and
cross-country running has had a good
deal to do with making England what
she is.
But the moral reasons for learning
to box are the most important of all.
1t has educational value. Self-reliance,
for instance, in my humble opinion, is
more important to a young man than
geography. Sure. let him have both.
but self-reliance first Boxing is
splendid training in self-reliance. Self
restraint is. another lesson equally i'm
portant for every boy to learn, for
man without self-control isn't worth
anything. Boxing teaches self-controI
not only in the boxing bouts them
continuous self-denial when training.
One can't indulge in all foolish pleas
ures and still get in good condition. All
athletic games have more or less value
in this way. and I am a great believer
in them from an educational stand
point. Boxing, football and many

athletics at George Washington, but I
wish to assert that ii is-if the students
will support them as the students Of
other universities support their athletic
teams. This is the crucial year. II suf-
hcient interest cannot be aroused now to
induce them to support this movement
We might as we'll throw up the sponge
and say goodnight. The faculty has is
sued an ultimatum that the students must
earnestly support the movement, or that
there will be no athletics, and the show
ing made thus far would indicate that
the students are not interested -
Prof. McNemar made a stirring appeal
for support among the fraternity men at
the annual inter-fraternity banquet at
the Raleigh Friday evening. Eleven fra
ternlties were represented among the
three hundred men present, and while
some progress was made the showing
was not all that was to be expected.
Hopes are entertained however that
something may be done at the big mass
meeting in the Medical Building at s
o'clock Tuesday evening. All students
and friends of athletics at George Wash
ington have been asked to gather in
Hall ''2' that night, and put their shoul-
ders 70 the wheel. II sufficient athletic
tickets are sold it is barely possible foot
ball may be revived, but the outlook is
poor and this meeting will tell the tale.
The opportunity which is now offered
may never come again.
Track Sure to Suffer.
Squabbles between the athletic bodies
of Washington and Baltimore have been
so frequent Of late that II something is not
done soon to clear up the situation track
sports are bound to suffer. There is a
great deal OF right on the side of those
who are asking the A A. U. for the
privilege of having something to say
about the running of track meets and
cross-country runs in the District. Bal
timore officials, whilesthey may be strict
iy honest, have a bad habit of con-
tinually giving the Washington athletes
the short end of the stick, and il Wash

BRESLN EASY FOR
CHARLES BARTELMES
Captures Game in District Champion
Pocket Billiard Tourney by
100 to "a Count.

Charles Bartelmes won last nights
game in the pocket billiard tournament
at the Royal billiard parIors from John
BresIin by score of 100 to 81 The play
was fast on both sides, and the game
lasted only fifty minutes. Bartelmes was
in good form. and played with great con-
fidence and accuracy, only at the rarest
intervals hesitating or calculating his
shots. While no very high runs were
made, the game sped along at a pace
which made it most interesting to the
spectators.
Breslin. little outclassed by his older
and stronger opponent still put UP a
plucky fight. and about midway Of the
game was close on the heels Of the win
ner. Breslin made some excellent COM
bination shots, two of them being OF the
sensational order. He also was the vic
tim of some bad luck, leaving the object
ball in the jaw of the pocket after long
and difficult shots no less than five times.
His cue ball also had a predilection to
hnd a stray pocket at tight places in
the game.
All in all, the game was a good one,
and a satisfaction to the large crowd
that turned out to see ii.

Then he gasped, My God, fellows, he's
