HATCHETTTES' PLEA
FOR A GRID TEAM
LOOKS PROMISING

A plea for the restoration Of foot
ball at George Washington Univers-
ity next fall Is contained In the
latest issue Of The Hatchet. weekly
student publication at the institu-
ton.
There is no open opposition to
football at the university" says The
Hatchet, "blt passive and indolent
lack of interest Is q more formid-
able and discouraging opponent than
active opposition. All the classes
and groups and organizations in the
university have been sounded out.
and the sentiment Is undoubtedly In
favor Of football. The movement Is
gaining momentum every day. and
1t surely looks as though there will
be a G. w. u. team on the gridiron
pext fall.
"If we had football in 1916, We
can have it again in 1920. The uni
versity has nearly twice as many
students now as II had in 1915. That
means about twice as much football
material and twice as much financial
and moral support.
1T Is hardly necessary to refer
to the advantages the university
would reap from a football team.
Football is the very best form of
university publicity. 1t gives col
lege prestige that can be obtained
in no other way. Where football
exists, there Is real college spirit;
and this college spirit Is an essential
of the complete university educa-
tion."

president and a six-team league,
composed of teams representing
Hagerstown and Frederick, in Mary

gress made in the war. Not that
Wichita cares about baseball
much. They're more interested
in the new. radiator cap Of the
1927 Rolls-Royce and whether
Crown Prince Charles will give
Zizi the gate. But being as how
baseball team, the dukes OF
Wichita threw the throttle on
and jammed up the safety valve.
The grandstand Is built
out of turquoise. Not cooking
turquoise, but the best eating
kind. 1t will hold sixty times
more people than will ever see
IL. The turnstiIes are three
speeds forward and one re-
verse. The diamond is spangled
with grass grown from hand
picked seed. All the grass seed
is perfectly matched in color
and shape. The bases are three
times further apart than any
bases in any league. They don't
like foul balls in Wichita, SO
the foul lines are painted out
side the park.
THE outfielders are fur
nished with motorcycles and
have bellhops to chase ground
ers for 'em. The clubhouse Is
the darb. Four kinds of run
ming water. All the shower
baths are oil. Instead of hand
ing out rain checks, they hand
out oil checks. This Is because
an oil we'll is liable to bust out
in the middle of the diamond
and clog up the bases. Gaso-
line is free. You can drink all
you can carry.
Anybody worth less than
a million is sent to the poor
house on suspicion. A Wichita
pitcher learned how to throw
the famous petroleum ball, or
three-in-one. It's CREASED on tho
inside edge and flows up to the
plate so slippery that the batter
swings at O. three times. twice
at the plate and once on the
bench.
The Giants play Wichita
in three weeks, which sounds
Eleanor Glynnish. Well let you
know just how big leaguers act
in a bigger league.

7heMostof Them Win W,hen
This Jockey Sits in Saddle

rhrty-ssven wins In thirty-one
days!
That's the record OF Frank Coll
tiiett. is-year-oid New York lad.
who is the sensation Of the winter
racing season at New Orleans.
The little italian won the jockey
prize at the fall meeting. at Jeffer-
SON Park. succeeding Frankie Rob-
inson.
Since then his performances have
been one long string Of sensations.
And the most sensational probably
of all was his suspension from rid
Ing at Jefferson Park after he had
lost form In the February meeting.
The first day at Jefferson the little
riding champion piloted three win
ners and finished twice on two other
mounts. And then he took q slump.
Maybe he didn't follow the rules of
conduct on the track that Jockeys
are supposed to adhere to during
their apprenticeship. The stewards
who suspended him for the re-
mainder Of the meeting did not state
such reasons. but that was the story
going the rounds.
Recently Charles w. Clark. Mon
tana millionaire. owner Of Pictor
and other famous horses. offered
$4,000 for the contract Of Coltiletti.
but s. A. clopton turned It down.
1t. may be that the recent spill
in which Jockey Jack Sullivan was
killed and In which CoitiIetti was
slightly shaken UP. unnerved the
youngster. He and Sullivan were
friends.

CATHOLIC u. QUNT
LAND NINE GAMES
ON BASKET COURT

Catholic University closed it's
basket-ball season last week, with
fhe odds against them, as they
played a total of twenty-one games
and were victorious in only nine of
them. They lost three games on
their own court and nine played
away from home. The games lost
on the Brooklanders' court were
to Princeton. North Carolina Uni
Fersity and Virginia Polytechnic.
After the injury to McDonough.
Dunn had to be shifted from CEN
ter to guard and the pivot position
was the Brooklandites' weakest
point after the mishap. This boy
Dunn is a coming star, as he can
capably f''l any position on the
team. He is fast, good shot, and
an exceptionally fast dribbler.
Playing at forward. center and
guard, he outscored his teammates,
caging more field goals than any
other player on the team.

MANY CANDIDATES
WORKING OUT FOR
CATHOLICU. TEAM

One of the village teams in this
vicinity which will no doubt spring
a big surprise in the baseball ranks
this coming season will be Catholic
University, as some of the best ma
terial for the diamond Is now at
tending that institution.
In the workouts many of the ath-
letes show promise with the stick.
Coach Charley Moran has a couple
of capable pitchers. In Burgess,
who established a reputation for
himself last year in the Boston
schools, much is expected here;
while ballard, the six-feet-three
port-sider, is hailed as a man
who can hold his own. Rollo Hayes,
who won eleven straights in the
Senior High School ranks of Boston
last season, will be with the Brook
landers, and with the return OF
Mark Jackson to Catholic Univer-
sity, their pitching staff will not
be in any way q weak spot on the
team.
Corwin to Catch.
Corwin, yats years Inainstay. will
fill the same backstop position this
season, with McDonough, Harvard.
Theobold, Hogan and Thompson to
be held in readiness to- do the re-
Ceiving.
For the initial sack Fitzgerald, a
Yale freshman, Is said to be show
ing promise, while other infield posi-
tions will be held by men of last
years nine. Jack Harrington, sec
ond baseman of the 1915-1s16 fame,
has been working hard for his old
station.
The outfield positions are eagerly
sought for by Roche, Parrot, Mallin,
Malley. Kelly. Lyons, Finley, Keller,
Mcnamara and Conry.

wichita Falls

San Antonio, Texas. March
5.-Three years ago Wichita
Falls was only a wide spot in
the road. The depot was only a
couple of loose ties in the track.
The main industry was
loafing. II a guy got ambitious,
he would go to n bigger town
where there was more loafing to
do. wichita had plenty of des-
ert, and Bill Mcclellan chirps
Wichita could have traded Sa-
hara eight grains of sand to
one. The last time the Giants
made that town IL looked like a
barroom on Broadway looks.
The deserted village was a nest
of red ants compared to Wichita.
There never was any falls there,
but many a guy took a nasty
tumble.
One day hoop-legged
cowboy killed a rattlesnake to
drink the poison. That's the
kind of souses they went on
down in Texas after Bill Bryan
decided that grape juice was
mans drink. This lad made a
pillow out of a mad porcupine
and went to sleep. During the
night the porky lit out from un-
der and the cowboys royal skull
nested in the Wichita sand.
When he woke up he discovered
that his pillow had fiat-wheeled
off with his wallet. and that he
had been slipped an oil shampoo
during the night.
Naturally he investigated
and discovered that he had been
wasting a lot of good snores on
a miserable little oil well worth
about as much. as the Atlantic
cable wrapped in thousand dol
lar bills. That was Wichita's
debut. Now the town is hung
with a lavalliere of oil wells
that don't even stop for break
fast.
' when Waco slipped out
of the Texas League, Wichita
bought the franchise up, bones
and all. They're building
baseball park that will cost
more than all the mistakes Con-
