MOHAWKS BADLY BEATEN.

The Mohawk Athletic Club Quint paid
the Washington Barracks gymnasium a
visit last evening with intent to scalp the
Engineers. Before the game had pro-
gressed very far it was easily seen that
the Engineers had little to fear from the
Redmen. The first half ended 81 with
the bridge builders on the big end. In
the second half Ref replaced Sonand at
center and Weishaar for Olcott at guard
The feature of the evening was the

with Schmitz as sidepartner they
worked some clever combinations. The

Football will be restored this fail or

financial backing will know the reason
why 1t was announced several weeks

pledges Of financial support were received
from 500 students by the night Of Sat
urday. February Y, football team would
be placed on the gridiron next fall.
With this ultimatum as an incentive,
students canvassed the nine departments
OF the university securing financial
pledges. The Law School and Medical
School in particular were canvassed thor
oughly. addresses being delivered before
the various classes.
When the Official count Of the pledge
cards was taken last night by Prof. Nc
Nemar. il was found that there were
5ss-sixty- eight more than the required
number. But to the surprise of the stu
dent body. the faculty committee on stu

while it had recommended the restoration
OF football. the placing of a team on
the field next fall would be conditioned
By the approval Of the presidents coun-
Gil tomorrow.

ball Team Goes Down by
Count of g to l9.

The Catholic University basket ball
quint last night defeated the George
Washington five in the Y. NJ. c. A,
3 to 10 after the game was apparently
on ice. At no time this season were
two teams more evenly matched ana
but for the many personal fouls calico
on the losers, they would today be the
Conquerers of the BroOkland institution.
In the first half both teams scored re,
peatedly through the free toss route,
though occasionally one of the players
would stick in goal from some difficult
angle. At the end of this period tho
score stood 12 to 10 In favor of tns

Prof. McNemar Is confident that the coun-
ell will act favorably upon the recon-
mendation OF the committee.
Should adverse action be taken and
should the restoration of football be de-
MED the students, it has been learned
upon good authority that sensational re-
suits will follow The students who have
signed pledges will demand that the
promise made to them be lived up to.
And it is understood that the students
will be backed in their protest by at least
several of the members OF the faculty.
II the council acts favorably ON the
recommendation steps will be taken i'm
mediately to arrange a schedule, appoint
a coach. and select candidates for the
team. Games with five big universities
and colleges in and near Washington al
ready have been virtually arranged for,
contingent upon the action of the coun-
ell.
The pledges signed by the students call
for the payment of s. a year toward the
support OF student activities, half of
letics. In return for the money the stu
dent will be admitted to all athletic con-
tests.
Members Of the faculty committee on
student activities will use their utmost
efforts in getting the council to permit
