The greatest drawback to foot ball
in Washington is the lack of two or
three big games each year. With the
exception of one game. this city has
not had a contest of major worth since
the last appearance of Virginia against
Georgetown three years ago. In the
fall Of 1914 Washington and Jefferson
engaged Georgetown in a splendid
struggle. but besides that no contest of
particular interest has taken place. The
game last fall, in which Catholic Uni
versity and Maryland State figured
provided about all the features the or
binary spectator could desire, but that,
too, fell short of what is wanted.
There are just two reasons for a lack
of big games here: The failure of the
public to support foot ball sufficiently
TO guarantee the coming Of big eievens
and the inability to arrange what
would prove popular intrasectional
contests. There are any number of
. teams that would be glad TO play here
If they could be shown where they
could come out well financially. It
takes a lot of money to run college
, athletics on the extensive scale now in
vogue. and in the great majority of
institutions foot ball is depended upon
to furnish the most Of the funds
I. through the big gate receipts. Penn
estate, Washington and Jefferson. Penn
1sylvania, Pittsburgh. Syracuse and other
= big elevens cannot be expected to como
here TO play for a straight guarantee of
II 900. or possibly 81 500, when they can
stay at home or play in some other city
dro a Of
receipts.
About the only eleven south of here
that is particularly attractive to local
followers of foot ball is Virginia. The
Orange and Blue team usually is
! strong. and the biggest crowds always
were present to see it play George
/ town Washington and Lee, North
Carolina University and North Carolina
A and NJ. have taken turns at playing
here. but neither has aroused the de-
sired interest II George Washington
can develop teams capable of compel
sing with Georgetown. the game these
two play should be Of exceptional
worth: but II Is going to take George
Washington quite time to bring out
an eleven capable Of competing with
the Blue and Gray on an even basis.
Georgetown. having held the premier
place In local foot ball, should figure
! on one end of any big game that takes
place. If the Hilltoppers were to
schedule either Catholic University or
Maryland State on the second or third
Saturday in November. and the col
lege played could develop team to
go into the contest on fairly even
= basis. the resultant annual struggle
D within two years. should become ex-
tremely popular. Such a game could be
played, too without much expense
Catholic University is anxious at any
time to open negotiations with George
town in foot ball and base ball. and
Maryland State could do lot worse
than schedule such a contest.
1t is certainly TO be hoped that some
kind of arrangements will be made for
TWO or three contests here of real In

serve to stimulate interest In the sport

| That the arguments of class "A league
cut draft system are not sustained by
i facts is the opinion of President Tener of
! the National League. The governor is
of the opinion that the entire draft aues-
ton has been greatly exaggerated.
4 There are Twenty-Five class IA clubs
and of this number the ma jor leagues
drafted only eight players last fall
Tener is quoted as saying That practi-
cally is only one player lost in the draft
to every three class IA clubs. The In
ternational League lost only three play
ers in the draft last season.
| .Furthermore the class IA leagues are
! by no means entirely in accord in regard
/ to abolishing the draft. A number of
club owners in this classificatio favor it's
retention The argument is advanced by
some minor league men that through the
draft the big leagues attempt to get play
/ ers for $500 for which they could get
much more in open competition.
! However, the fact remains that few
of the AA players ever get into
the draft. Whenever player of I'M

There is much talk in the middle west
about the possible return of Michigan
to the western conference. The absence
of Michigan from the roll of that body

here-Which prevents team with

teams remaining in the conference.
Michigan withdrew some years ago. and
il now needs competition with institu-
tons in the middle west, and needs
such competition even more than IL
cares to admit. Under the rule of the
conference. Chicago. Minnesota, Wis
consin and other conference colleges

SWAMI. ROOT SAVES
KIDNEY SUFFERERS

You naturally feel secure when you know
that DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is alb
solutely pure and contains no harmful or
habit producing drugs.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence, prescribed by DIR. Kilmer
many years ago, is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs. 1t is not a stimu-
liant and is taken in teaspoonful doses. 1t
is not recommended for everything. Ac-
cording to verified testimony it is natures
great helper in relieving and overcoming
kidney, liver and bladder troubles.
If you suffer, don't delay another day.
Go to your nearest druggist now and get
bottle. All drug stores sell it in two
sizes-ffty cents and one dollar.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
