McGinnis. who was the idol CT the
fans out that way.
A series OF three games was ar

crowded to its limit and the fans
were crazy over the game. This
proved one-sided as Grifith prevented

they found out that the Missoula

unable to make up their minds

GNU. STUDENTS

Law School Freshmen Peti.
ton Trustees Urging
Gridiron Sport.

George Washington University is
likely to have a football team next
fall. A movement having such an
object in view and launched just
before Christmas is growing in
size. and an effort now is being
made to have every student organ
ization at the institution join in a
petition to the faculty for q charter
for a team.
The movement was originated by
the first-year class at the Law
School. Resolutions were adopted
and sent to the board of trustees
urging the immediate issuance of a
charter for a team next fall.
Before adopting the resolutions
the law class made a canvass of the
student body and ascertained def1-
nitely that there was ample mater
ial for the organization of strong
team. Many of the students have
starred in football at various high
schools, colleges and universities.
The recent adoption of the volun-
tary student activities tax plan
virtually assures the financial sue
cess of a team, IL is pointed out.
The Hatchet, weekly student pub
lication, favors a team next year.
and has called upon all student or
ganizations to help push the project.
So enthusiastic have some of the law
students become that on their own
responsibility they have written to
a number of prominent colleges and
universities urging that dates be
kept open for possible games with
George Washington next fall in the
event that a team is organized.
University authorities have not
yet passed an opinion upon the pro-
posal. but 1t is certain that they
will give their sanction IL the stu
