New Interpretation OF Draft Law VIII
EnguIf Many That Have Been Ex-
cuSed.

With the announcement of decided
change in policy by Provost General
Crovder. says the Salt Lake Tribune,
the status of many of those who have
been drafted into the service of the
nation has Undergone a swift and ap-
parently complete change. Hereto
fore any plea for exemption because
of a dependent has sufficient for many
a young man tentatively 10 be elimin-
ated from serving in the army.
The rigid character of the selective
draft law is now to be brought home
to all those who were required to
register. Guidedregister. Guided by
register. Guided by positive instruc-
tions the draft boards will, beginning
this week. proceed TO fill the quota OF
men asked for from Salt Lake by the
government. The same drastic rules
that are to be applied in this city will
obtain all over the state. and it is held
possible that a large number of regis
tered men who have claimed exemp-
ton and been excused by their draft
board, will have to submit to another
call.

Tigers Win Two Games.

After losing about twelve straight games
the Tigers in The Evening Star League
COPIED two last night from tho Browns
The Tigers would have won three, as
they lost the first in u rather unlucky
way. Iseman had strike in his last box
and got only four pins on it. The game
was dropped by a margin of only two
pins. Two members of the Red Sox got
the prizes. Fowler the one for high set
and kluge for high game.
Brown of the Washington Cent ennial
team in the Masonic League was the
high bowler of the night. registering q
count of 3S1 for his set. Browns scores
were 124. l19 and 1873. Washington
Centennial took three from Pentalpha
although the latter rolled well enough
to win ordinarily any match in the Ma
sonic circuit.
Mccarthy of Buckeyes Specials in the
Capital City League and Keys of the
Columbias in the Central circuit got
good scores. The latter knocked down
115, 121 and i'll and the former 12S, 13S
and 1O2.
The Gandils broke two records in the
Arcade League, rolling the highest
game and set of the year in that cir
cult. The set mark was 1870 and the
game figure GA. Chaconas was the
star of the quint, rolling for III, 109
and 1856. The Gandils took three from
the Phi Mu Sigma outfit.

The Georgetown University basket
ball team left this morning on trip
through the north to play four games.
The first contest is to be staged tonight
against Seton Hall, at Newark, n. J.;
the second takes place tomorrow with
st. Johns of Brooklyn. the next with
the Crescent Athletic Club at Brook
Ign and the fourth, Saturday night,
with Boston College. at Boston. The
Blue and Gray expects to make a good
showing.
If Georgetown breaks even in the
four games 1t will do well, and II it
were to take three of the contests its
record for the trip would be n whole
lot better than that of the majority
of southern institutions which beard
the northern quints on their home
floors. The Blue and Gray already
has defeated the St. Johns five. but this
year has not met any of the three
others. AS matter of fact, George
town has lost but one contest this sea-
son. which was dropped to the Navy
team, combination that has been
sweeping up the best quints in the
country.

making the trip, as is Coach O'Reilly.

tons. Tech got just about as many

HARTMAN FORCES AHEAD
Yankee Driver of Dog Team Shows
Grit in Going From Last
to First Place.

DALTON, Mimi, January 31.-While
seven entries in the Winnipeg-St. Paul
dog race slept here last night in the
belief that all would get away to an
even start this morning and that Fred
Hartman. the American driver. would
be forced to stop for the night many
miles behind them, 1.-The Yankee" as
Hartman is known to his rivals, passed
through here in the dead of night,
headed for Ashby, Mimi, eight miles
southeast of here.
During the night efforts were made
by officials of the race to locate Hart
man, but without success. 1t is the
belief of some that he made his night
control at a farmhouse and will make
his whereabouts known only when he
arrives at Evansville, nineteen miles
from here, during the forenoon.
When Hartman left Fergus Falls last
night he announced he would hit the
trair' again at daylight, no matter
at what hour he tied up for the night
The townspeople at Fergus Falls ask cd
him to stop there. A banquet had been
prepared, but instead of being the guest
of honor Hartman pushed out into the
teeth of a northwest gale, and is be
leved to have covered more than fifty
miles during the day and part of the
night, as against thirty-thrcc miles
covered by his rivals, who spent the
night here.

This year promises to be a banner
one for polo in the National Capital.
Although the game is by no means
veloped to the point so fascinating a
sport warrants. With unsurpassed ia
Fcihties, plenty, of seed mounts and a
wealth Of talent in the way of play
ers available. nothing is lacking for its
advancement to the position it de-
serves except proper fostering, and
this the Washington Polo Association
promises to supply.
At a meeting held recently at the
Army and Navy Club plans for a spring
tournament, more comprehensive than
any yet undertaken in this. city were
preached. A committee consisting of
Maj. William Mitchell. Aviation Corps.
L. 8. A; Kent Legare and Burrell HUFF
was appointed, and its members have
been busy since, with the result that
tentative arrangements for the AFFAIR
already have been made.
Under the energetic leadership OF
Maj. Mitchell the Washington Polo AS
sociation expects to bring to the CAPT.
tai, to appear IN competition. some OF
country, and evidence that interest
among horsemen, society folk and sport
lovers in general will serve to draw
large crowds to the games was fur-
nshed by the contests here last spring.
According to present plans. the tour
nament will open April 16 and run
until May 4 or 5. variety of events
have been listed. One will be a handi-
cap tournament open to teams OF four
under the handicap existing when the
entries close A second event will be
for teams of those whose aggregate
handicap does not exceed ten goals.
and another will be open to teams the
aggregate handicap of the members Of
which is greater than that figure. Still
another tourney, the conditions Tor
which are to be determined at later
date. will be held.
It is expected that number OF hand :
some trophies will be offered as prizes
for the winners of the various events
and, in addition, 1t Is probable. cnai-

sarily in succession.
Two fields in Potomac Park viii! be
available for the use OF the poioists,
one for practice and the other for the
playing of the games. The regular
field is said to be one OF the best IN
the country and assurance Is given
that it will be adequately cared Tor;
Last year much complaint was voiced
by visiting players over the poor condl-
lion of the field here, due in large
measure to the fact that sufficient funds

Bob Folwell is to get hearing be-
fore the faculty committee on athletics
of the University of Pennsylvania No
other new developments have arisen
concerning the refusal of the faculty
committee to ratify Folwell s foot ball
coach for next fall, except that a storm
of protest has gone to the university
from alumni and from the student body.
TWenty-one members of the 1egfsla-

Summarily dismissed and that he be
given a hearing. Action was taken by
an alumni body in New York, while
the student body has deferred any
course it may pursue until after the
meeting of the faculty committee this
afternoon.
One Philadelphia paper carries a story
to the effect that member of the man
agement of the team admits he was
ordered by the faculty committee to
watch every move of Folwell's and
make q report concerning it. This. per-
haps. is the strangest procedure ever
known-for a student to have the au-
thorty to keep tabs on an official and
to make reports regarding his conduct.
1t is believed. according to reports.
that the result Of the whole matter
will be general upheaval in the ath-
letic system at Pennsylvania. 1t has
been known for a long while that the
Red and Blues proper development was
impeded by cliques. and the abolish
ment of all this may be the outcome of
the present controversy. Folwell went
to the provost of the university and
asked for a complete and open investi-
CATION. when no specific charges against
him were made, and certainly evidenced
no fear of the results of such an in
vestigation.
