"1f a meeting between Georgetown
and Virginia men Is solicited, Vir-
ginia will find us ready to take up the
propositions A meeting between the
presidents of the colleges. the "a adu-
ate managers or representatives Of
the colleges could be arranged" says
Cox.
"we would be willing to play vir-
ginia in football here one year and
at Charlottesville the next. Games
would be arranged in all other sports
as well. There is no question but
that a Virginia-Georgetow game
would be an attraction both for
Georgetown here and for Virginia
students at Charlottesville" says Cox.
Always Feature Here.
The annual vIrginia-Georgetown
football battles were always a fea-
ture here and drew out a packed
stand at every meeting. since the
Georgetown-Virgin contests were
discontinued several years ago
Washington has had no feature foot
ball game. ....r
Now that war conditions hayc ma
terialIy changed conditions in all col
leges Georgetown and Virginia might
come together for an understanding
which would pave the way for a real
South Atlantic collegiate league.
That both universities are uaqucs-
tionably the strongest in this sec
ton of the country goes without say
ing. For many years Georgetown and
Virginia met in all branchcs of
sports. An unfortunate break in re,
Iations found both Georgetown and
Virginia seeking recognition in other
fields.
Split Both Ways.
Georgetown retained games with
colleges in the North as usual ard
succeeded in scheduling football,
baseball, and basketball contests. The

team pursued it's usual policy Of play
ing Holy Cross, Fordham. Harvard.
Yale, Lehfgh, Penn State. the Army
and Navy. and Dartmouth, but the
real objective. the Virginia game
was lacking.
Virginia went North for a while far
a big game or two, but sought access
to the Southern collegiate standing
for its titles. North Carolina Van
derbilt. and other leading Southern
institutions failed 10 provide the big
objective game, the Georgetown con.
test, OF other years.
The institutions drifted apart until
they were widely dfverged-- The re-
construction Of athletics in all col
leges now may mean that Virginia
and Georgetown can be gotten to-
gether for all sports.
Diner~nces Are Few.
The differences separating the in
stitutions are few. While no at
tempt has been made TO o1er the
merits OF the case IN fhe past. thos<
interested in the athletic side OF q

by the resumption Of athletic rela-
tions.
1t is pointed out that IL Georgetown
and Virginia played again, washing

with both colleges and a real South
Atlantic Association might be on .
playing basis.
Efforts have been made In the past
TO get a South Atlantic Collegiate

life, has decided to ask for a posi-

gentleman, who will appreciate any
support given his candidacy. Mr..

elected as the next tax assessor. he
promises to give the people as nearly
as lay in his power a correct and
