tators on the side lines. who hissed
him AT every decision he made against
c. U. The fact of the matter Is Mr..
Hughes let the crowd get his goat and
for this reason he let the c. u. play
ers get away with anything short OF
murder.
Mr.. Hughes misquotes me when he
says that / told him to go ahead with
the game. as I did not speak to Mr..
Hughes or anyone else until after my
team had safely gotten into the Dress
ing room.
Mr.. Hughes statement that a man
was knocked down is true, but, as
usual. he made a mistake in the man.
Mr.. Carter was knocked down and
kicked by c. L. man and, further
more, the only blow passed landed
on Mr.. Carter's face. At this pint
the c. U. rooters rushed on the floor
and crowded the players, but neither
officials nor c. u. management made
any attempt to keep the crowd back.
Throughout the game the officials
made no attempt to penalize the play
ers at fault by putting them out of
the game for unnecessary roughness.
If ] had let the game go on. with the
officials allowing such rough tactics,
the game could only have resulted in
a free-for-all fight.
Naturally Mr.. Hughes. who has
been officiating in most of c. us
games. will try to cover up his mis-
takes by misquoting me and by CIV
ing to the public an erroneous state
ment. which can not be supported by
a single neutral person who saw the
game.
Yours very truly,

Athletic Director of Delaware College.

DoubLe-Header Is Carded
For Scholastic Basketers

There will be a double header in
the scholastic basket ball league this
afternoon in the Catholic University
Gym. at three p. m. when Western
and Tech meet in the first game ana
Eastern and Central in the night-cap.
The opening game will be the attrac-
tion of the day. when the present
league leaders meet the fast coming
boys from across the creek. Coach
Morse of Western made a change in
the lineup that will strengthen the
team considerably. and may hand the
"Blacksmiths'' a trimming at the ex-
pense of the Western quint.
Tech win be without the service of
Capt Gosnell. as he is laid up in bed
with a severe attack of the grip.
Mccarthy. new conner in the
scholastic basket ball league, will
probably take the place Of Gosnell s
forward in today's game.
Centrars battle with Eastern may
surprise the followers of scholastic
basket ball. as they may upset the
dope by trimming the Mt. Pleasant
five.
This year is furnishing one of the
best high school series in the history
of the floor game. as the schools are
presenting well balanced quints. and
1t is still questionable which team will
win the 1870 title
at the games today.
