ATHLET|cSYSTEM
Forms New Body for Control
of fSports-Central Beats
Gonzaga.
BY H. C. BYRD.

Catholic University has begun the
reorganization of it's athletics. A new
council to govern sports has been
| created and will hold its first meet
| ing today. Plans for the general
| building up of intercollegiate COM
petition along all lines are to be dis
| cussed and various procedures for
carrying out broader system are due
| to come up for consideration.
Athletics will be controlled by a
| body of five men, three selected from
the faculty and two from the student
body. Prof. Kavanagh is president of
| the council. DR.. Peter Guilday and
| Prof. Patrick Coils are other faculty
members. T. Dahill, president of the
| athletic association, is one student
| member. and E. O'Brien is the elected
student representative. Two men,
| bers of the faculty, DR.. Guilday and
Prof. Coils, were appointed by the
| rector on petition from the student
body and Prof. Kavanagh was Sc
lected by DR.. Guilday and Prof. Coils.
! AS is now the plan, the new council
will have charge of all sports and be
| the final word in all things that con-
cern intercollegiate athletics. Such
! direct authority over athletics, has
1 been needed at c. L. for some time.
and the new arrangement should make
| things work much more smoothly.
| DR. Guilday has long been interested
I in athletics at c. T., and Prof. kava-
nagh was a member of the committee
| in control at Michigan.
| Maryland State and Gallaudet are to
meet tomorrow night at o'clock at
| the Y. NJ. c. A. in the District Inter-
! collegiate Basket Ball League. The
State five won from GalIaudet in the
opening game of the season, and the
latter is anxious to get back at the
lMarylanders. Gallaudet always has
claimed that State was rolling in luck
to get the victory on the opening date,
and it intends to roll up as big score
as possible in order to make up for
States main trouble will be in cover
ing Downes, the stellar floor product
Gallaudet has turned out.
Central High avenged a previous
defeat at the hands of Gonzaga yes
terday when it took the measure of
the North Capitol street combination
by % to 20. The Blue and White ran
out in front early in the contest and
the score at the end of the first half
was Is to ). Toward the end of the
second half. though, the Gonzaga men
within very few minutes. However,
CentraPs lead was too great to be
overcome.
1t is rather remarkable that Gen.
trail. despite its defeat at the hands
of Business two days ago, has been
able to make comparatively better
showing against other teams than
he
Stenographers, and Episcopal gave
them an exceptionally one-sided beat
ing Central made much better head
way against Gonzaga than did the
Rhode Island avenue institution.
However, Business was able to de
liver the goods" and it deserves credit
for its accomplishment in winning the
high school championship.
Central is in doubt as to whether it
will hold the open interschoIastic
meet about which it has been con-
jecturings for some time. The Blue and
White authorities seem unable to see
their way entirely clear on the prof.
ect, though it certainly appears that
with teams from Tome School, Balti-
more, Polytechnic, Baltimore City
College, Episcopal High School and
the Washington schools there should
be no doubt about success.
1t seems that Boston College will be
the only northern institution to come
south this spring for base ball trip,
and ii is doubtful if the "Beaneaters''
are going to get enough contests to
fill their schedule and warrant them
making the journey.
Washington and Lee University may
not have base ball team this spring
The Lexington institution is planning
a general reorganization of it's
athletics and may not find time to de-
velop the diamond sport, according to
word that has come from w c.
Raftery, resident coach of all athlet-
les.
