rector Charles Moran

MANY PLAYERS IN
DEPARTMENTAL

More than 500 players are trying
out for Departmental Tennis League
teams. There are at present ten teams
playing through the schedule. Some
thing like fifteen players are trying
for each team in the regular matches,
and ten are in actual competition,
after having been picked to represent
each department.
The circuit is using the courts at
the Bureau of Standards, and is also
employing the public courts for the
matches, which are played twice
week.
Last year the Departmental went
out of commission on account Of war
activities. Many of the members Of
the teams were so engaged that ten

This summer, after being held up
by rainy weather for awhile, the De-
partment men got into action. Matches
are played on Tuesdays and Thurs
days. Many Of the Departmental men

practically all week.
The teams making up the circuit
are War, Navy, Justice, Trade, Ship
ping Emergency. Smithsonian, Inte-
rior, Commerce, and Interstate.

''Verbotenl' Can't Be
Taken Seriously

Jimmy De Forest, writing from
Toledo, says that they caught a
young fellow in Dempsey's camp
the other day who had not paid
his admission. "He beat the
barrier" says Jimmy. "He was
in before we had the doors open
to collect the quarters Here,
you,' / piped. Didn't you see
that sign outside, saying "No
Admittance? "'
Sure piped the kid. Say,
/ Just put on my civies. I'm just

NO APPRECIATION
FOR new CHAMPS


by TAD.
It's sort Of funny when you stop to
think a. moment. over new ehamps.
Never in the history. of the ring, in
the heavyweight class, was the new
champion given the credit he de-
served.
, Fight fans do stick to the losing
champ. and can't see the new laurel
packer with a telescope.
Let's go back to the idol Of the
heavyweight division, John l. SulIi-
van He was so tough, so good anc
so feared that the fans thought he'd
just die with the title tackled onto
him
Along came what they termed q
dancer from California named Jim
Corbett 1t made Sullivan laugh 10
think Of him. Sullivan's hackers felt
the same, and offered to 1 that
Sully would win. He lost, but did
they toss roses at Corbett? They did,
like Kelly did.
They squawked and said that John
L was through.
Later on Corbett met F1tzsimmons.
Jim was a big favOrite and was
knocked out after beating Fitz all
over the joint. Did they give Fitz
credit? Nav sub, nav sub They de-
clared him lucky. Said he should
have been out in the sixth, when Cor
bett had him down, weak, and COW
cred with blood
Fitz strutted around awhile when
suddenly Billy Delaney came along
with a big, numbering boilermaker
from the coast
The fans called it a set-up, yet Jefr
won with K o.
But Jeh got credit, didn't he? Not
by jug full They said anyone could
have licked Fitz at that time, as he
had one foot in the grave.
JEFF licked everything in sight IN
til he met and was kicked of by Jack
Johnson. Well, at least they said
johnson was a pip, didn't they?
Heavenly days. no. After the K o.
they said that Jef was doped, and
that he was all in, anyway.
Johnson next lost to Willard, the
cowboy. Oh, they MUST have said
that willard was q dude to have
beaten Johnson. Ell? No, no, my boy.
Most all of them agreed that II must

The Washington times., 1919-06-06

Virginia students apparently look
with disfavor on the alumni coach
ing system. The editors point out
that it has proved a failure, that
Yale, first to adopt the idea, has re-
turned TO the old system OF paid
coaches.
The most recent decision of the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton favoring the adjustment of sea-
sonal transient coaches is sought by
Virginia adherents in the review OF
athletics.
Wants Athletic Director.
The magazine favors the adoption
Of the director of athletics policy
under which there is a paid profess
sional coach, whose duty is that of
any other member OF the faculty and
who teaches the students who go in
to various branches OF sport all he
knows about them.
Under the new system employed in
many colleges at present. athletics
poses and student management, z'ith
the usual waste, is dispensed with
for gratifying results. Alumni
coaches, subordinate to the athletic
director, are usually helpful. it Is
pointed out. This system the maya
zine editors heartily favor.
In defense Of the director OF ath-
letics system, Virginia students. APP
parently have seen the light From
talks with Virginia students. coaches,
and alumni. there Is apparently lit
tie chance for those most directly in
terested, as students or alumni, to
influence faculty control from an i'm
practical idealistic viewpoint. toward
generally accepted educational
standard.
Dean LeBaron Briggs, OF Harvard,
in a recent explanation of the trend
of athletic development in colleges,
after the war. points to the director
Of athletics, a faculty member with
full faculty rights, as the only prac-
ticeal solution OF past and present
problems.
Takes Two Viewpoints.
As far as the football schedule is
concerned the magazine deals with
the dates for next fall In no uncer-
tain terms. Two views arc taken Of
next falls program, which IS some
what similar to that Of other years.
The schedule examined shows two
things: Tho teams represented are

Finds Natural Rivals
The magazine points out that Vir-
ginla, Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
Georgetown, and Washington and Lee
are natural rivals. These institutions
/ have been dropped from schedules
for full and sufficient reasons"
The editors are not satisfied with
conditions in regard to athletics ut
these institutions, as is evidenced by
the following:
whether conditions have now suf-
ficiently changed at these institutions
to permit q resumption of relations
is another question. Certainly the
systems exposed at these schools can
not be killed in a day, and a game
with Virginia would be a great
temDtation TO return to the old prac-
tees" declares the magazine.

that Washington and Lee can be con-

THE PEOPLES FAULT

Now come federal Investigators
placing the blame OF radicalism, Boil
shevism and anarchy, which the Unit
ed States is experiencing, on the
shoulders of Frederick Howe, immi-
grafton inspector at Ellis Island.
They are claiming that Howe is re-
sponsible for these revolutionary con-
ditions because nf laXity he has
shown in permitting foreigners OF
questionable motives to pass the I'M
migration gates. Others are bblam-
ing poor immigration laws for the in
dustrial crisis.
Few persons are placing the blame
where it really belongs, that is on the
shoulders of the people. Of course
we need stricter immigration laws II
we are to prevent an influx OF unde-
sirable foreigners. 1t is the peoples
fault that these laws are so mild and
ineffective. Better immigration laws
will be of no use if we do not have
conscientious officials to see that
they are enforced.
How are we going to obtain better
laws and more efficient officials? By
every person taking interest and ac-
tIcn in the matter Too many people
sit back and lament present condi-
tions but fail to realize their respon-
sibility. 1t is the peoples fault that
revolution is seemingly sweeping this
nation Every one of us must awak-
en- and realize that the remedy for the
present crisis is on no ones shoul-
ders but our own.

WE LIVE TO EAT

The chief aim of the Egyptian in
life was to be well buried. The Amer
leans corresponding desire is to be
well fed In consequence of this fact
it has been rightly said that everyone
is "either fool or a physician at for
ty."
Gladstone made twenty-five bites of
every bit of meat. He was a physi-
clan. But who wants to be a physi-
cian? Even though he lived to be
twice forty, he must have spent most
of his life mastering the art of mas
tication Only the bloated coupon
clipping bond holders now may have
such piece of meat.
However, eating is one of the things
we Americans do. Eating is one of
our pleasures of life. More of US live
to eat than die of starvation. The
picture which flashes at the mention
Of Thanksgiving or Christmas is pic
ture of table on which good things
vie with each other for the MOST con-
spicous place. 1t is rot the Pilgrim
Fathers but mince pie that causes the
