:" Anent Georgetown's announcement
that it will have no foot ball team
this fall, the following is reprinted
from the New York Sun:
Z The annual foot ball game between
Fordham and Georgetown. for many
years an election day feature of the
local season, will not be played this
fall. Charles R. Cox. graduate man
ager of athletics at Georgetown, tells
US that not only the Fordham game
but every other contest as well has
been dropped from the Georgetown
schedule and that the university will
support no eleven. Georgetown has
lost most of the players of last sea-
son. but 1t was ready and anxious
to put a team into the field. How
ever. when its leading opponents can
celed their engagements George
town came to the conclusion that it
had better call the whole thing on.
Cox says that Fordham Cancelled
the contest and that the Maroon will
not have a foot ball team. This takes
us by surprise, as We had been given
to understand by men high in Ford
hams athletic councils that it would
send an eleven onto the field. Efforts
to get authentic information regard
ing Fordham's decision yesterday
proved futile. We hope that these
lines will bring forth an official an
nouncement.

As Matty Views It.

According to the Giants the Cincin-
natl players knew early In the season
that Chase was not giving his best
efforts TO the club and this naturally
resulted in a spirit OF Unrest and dis
coura agement on the team. The dis
closures in the case have aroused the
Cincinnati fans. and Chase. once an
idol in Redland. is universally con.
demned The opinion Is prevalent
that the evidence against Chase Is
positive and that he will be forever
barred from base ball. While neither
Matty nor Hermann is willing at
this time to divulge the details OF
the testimony in the case, each
strongly intimates that there is no
doubt in their minds as to the play
