Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-That profess
sional sport suffers periodical set
backs, no matter in what part of the
world it is staged, is shown by recent
events both in this country and Eng
land. Baseball is just emerging from
a season of depression, financial and
otherwise, in this country, while in
England soccer, which corresponds 20
baseball in the United States, is being
subjected to an investigation and
housekeeping. Public interest in pro-
fessional soccer has been seriously
affected throughout the British Isles,
by disclosures which involved the hon
esty of some of the players. The facts
were brought out at an inquiry con-
quoted by the Football League and the
Football Association with the result
that eight men were permanently bar
red from playing. Four of these pro-
fessionals were members of the Liver
pool Club, three belonged to the Man
chester United Club and the other one
played on the team of the Chester
Club. No suspicion was attached to
any officials of these organizations but
it was proved that certain players,
conspiring to throw the game, placed
bets on the match last season.
In England professional football
the association or soccer game-takes
the place of professional baseball in

to colleges, and cricket corresponds to
tennis so far as public interest is con-
cerned. But the big association match
Is draw crowds of from $4,000 to 100,-

ough to accommodate the people at the
final match for the English cup in
times of peace. Like professional base
ball, professional football mas managed
TO keep an untainted reputation as a
general thing. But in spite of heavy
gate receipts, the British professionals
are poorly paid an their small pay may
have tempted the accused men to make
bit on the side by dishonest playing.

essential to the acquisition of proper legal

The forenoon classes from . to II are
primarily for students devoting their

an ideal location for students of this class.
and their number is steadily increasing.
These classes are also available to stu

VON UNSCHULD SCHOOL
Helps MUSIC OF CITY
Thoroughness of Local University's
Courses Unexcelled.

The Won Unschuld University Of Music
was founded in September, 1904, by Nine.
Marie Won Unschuld, who had been in
this city for less, than a year, coming
from Vienna. where her reputation as a
concert pianist OF the greatest ability
and q professor of high attainments was
most strongly established. having toured
Europe several times, covering herself
with laurels and directing in Vienna a
most successful private class Of advanced
pupils. Nine. Won Unschuld's first public
appearance in Washington was with the
Washington Symphony Orchestra, under
the baton Of Reginald de Koven. Her
success at this initial appearance Is still
vivid In the memory Of washington's
music lovers Encouraged by her suc-
cess, Nine. Won Unschuld decided to make
this city her home and to found an in
stttution patterned after the European
conservatories to give American students
all European advantages without having
to leave home. The success Of the uni
verstty has been growing yearly, and this
Is due to the excellent work done by its
pupils under the guidance OF a faculty Of
artists The institution offers now a full
university course IN music; it embraces
four years and leads to the degree OF
bachelor OF music. Postgraduate courses
lead to master and doctor Of music. The
following are the subjects taught at the
university: Plano. pipe organ, singing,
stringed instruments, wind instruments,
public school music, tuning and acoustics,
theory, harmony, counterpoint, compost
ton. sight reading. choral singing, Appre-
citation Of music, art Of accompanying,
history OF music, art Of delivery, musical
Journalism, modern languages, lectures
on operas. symphonies, etc, besides hav-
ing courses for the training Of piano,
violin. voice and organ teachers. A dor
mftory is attached to the institution for
the accommodation Of out-of-town pupils
and is placed under the care Of an ex-
pertenced householder and chaperons.
The work and influence Of this superior
institution have certainly been a strong
factor in the raising Of the musical stan
dard in the city Of Washington and has
reached far beyond. graduates Of the uni
versity holding positions as director or as
professor Of music in many institutions
of high standing Of this country. Another
feature Of the university is its summer
course held in the New England States
and in the Middle West, where teachers
come year after year to get the benefit Of
a normal training which Is credited as
work done at the university for their fu-
ture graduation.
The preparatory school Of music, with
studios in different parts of the city. and
where teaching is done by graduates Of
the university. Is now affiliated with the
university and under its supervision.

G. W. U. LAW SCHOOL

The law school OF George Washington
University. which has the distinction Of
being the oldest law school in the Dis
triCt, will begin its ifty-second year Of
continuous session, Wednesday after
noon, September 2, at $50 p. m. The
nlty-first year recently completed with
the close OF the summer session on Au-
gust 9. was marked by a continuation Of
the steady increase in enrolment which
IN the face Of increased requirements has
marked the past two years. In 1s11-l2
the registration was 3o6. In 1H5-16 it
reached a total of AS.
The George Washington University
Law School is the only law school in the
District OF Columbia belonging TO the
Association Of American Law Schools.
In 1900 when this association was organ
lied, it was a charter member, and has
continued its membership ever since.
The association now has forty-seven
members, including the leading law
schools Of the country. Its purposes are
to improve the methods and raise the
standards Of legal education, and to &C
cOmplish these purposes II requires that
member schools shall have certain fixed
entrance requirements, standards of
classroom work, and equipment. Mem
bership in the association therefore in
sures a higher type of student body and
striCter requirements in the classroom.
Schools which belong to the association
as a rule give maximum credit for work
done in other association schools. Be-
cause Of this fact students who after
completing part Of their work at George

other cities to complete their course, can
make the change to another school with
minimum Of loss OF time and credit

PERSONAL ATTENTION
GIVEN EACH PUPIL

The University Preparatory School en-
deavors to give personal attention to
each student so that the studies pur-
sued are mastered in the shortest time
and in the most thorough manner. The
faculty of the school has been carefully
selected so that each student receives
instruction from experts. The school
gives special preparation for all of the
leading universities and for army and
Marine Corps examinations. The day
and night classes are so arranged that
the student may enter at any time and
pursue any of the following studies:
Mathematics (all branches), English.
English literature, Latin, Spanish, Ger
man, French. physics, chemistry. geog-
raphy, civil government, history, astron-
omy. electricity. The tuition rates are
very reasonable, but the student gets as
much personal attention from the teach
ers as he would in a school where he
would pay four or five times as much tut
ton. The principal Is always glad to
talk with any student who contemplates
taking up a course of studies in any Of
the schools.
