Hatchetites Play Real Football
Team Tomorrow for First
Time in Eleven Years.
By BRYAN MORSE.

George Washington University is
takipg its first plunge in the foot
bali world in eleven years. TomS-
row.. Ut Morgantown, ". Va, the
Hstchetites stack up against a rea!
football team in West Virginia Uni
versity. Not since 1910 when the
G. w. u. lads played Glen Warmers
Carlisle Indians, has the downtown
institution met a real college team,
one of the big five or six in the
country. In a measure the glory
is reflected on account of the stand
ing in the football world of the West
Virginians.
The Hstchetites are going out to
give battle to one OF the best teams
in the country. Next week West Vir-
ginia plays Yale and the week fol-
lowing Princeton. Many will be
watching West Virginia's perform
ance.

Few realize the handicaps under
which the Hatch elites are working,
and few realize the splendid spirit In
evidence on the football squad at
George Washington. With long dis
tances 90 GO for practice and at in
opportune times, the Hstchetites are
accomplishing things in football But
above all they are showing a spirit
and determination which in time will
creep through the institution for
athletic results which are expected
To be lasting and unrivalled.
TEAM is YOUNG.
Young in years and young In foot

SYRACUSE TEAM READY

SYRACUSE. n. Y, Oct. 15.-The
Syracuse University eleven has com
pleted the last OF a series of hard
scrimmsges in preparation for the
game with Pittsburgh here Saturday.
Coach Meehan has been driving the
men hard
The berth for right guard has de-
veloped a hard fight between Whit
comb. last years freshman, and
Thompson. veteran lineman, both
weighing around 2l5 pounds. II is eN-
.pected that Thompson will be given
the preference because of his expert
ence.
Robertson and Fallon have been
playing in fine form at ends, although
they are being tried at these positions
this season for the first time. In the
back field, coweli, Abbott Kellogg,
and Anderson look like the first string
quartet, with Foster. Frugonne, Guide.
and Parker a capable aggregation of

BAN JOHNSON OPPOSES
REORGANIZATION MEET
Thinks Session OF Club Owners
lnadvisabIe at This Time.

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-President Bs n
Johnson OF the American league does
not look with favor on the proposed
joint meeting of the major leagues
which has been called TO be held In
Chicago next Monday by President
Heydler OF the National league. The
American league president wired Mr.,
Heydler yesterday that he believed
the meeting would be a mistake at
this time.
President Heydler Immediately sent
a reply to Mr.. Johnson stating that
he believed that public opinion would
brook no delay in the reorganization
OF the government OF the national
game. Mr.. Heydier informed the
American league head that all Nat
ional league club owners would be
at the meeting and would try to aid
the Cook county grand jury In every
way in the investigation OF the 1919
baseball scandal.
The opposition OF the president OF
the American league to the plan Is
not unexpected, but, regardless Of his
attitude, II Is expected that the other
club owners will go ahead and make
the proper move TO bring about an
Improvement of conditions. They
realize that baseball government has
been involved too deeply in petty
politics.
Mondays meeting In Chicago is ex-
pected to bring out the fact that the
majority Of the club owners of the
two leagues favor a few government
and they will probably proceed to-
ward reorganization. President Hey
dler expects to go to Chicago tomor-
row and will again appear before the
grand jury which Is investigating the
game before returning to this city.

Loss of Appetite.

As a general rule there is
nothing serious about a loss of
appetite, and if you skip a meal
OF only eat two meals a day for
a few days you win soon have a
relish for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to
give the food ample time to di-
gest and the stomach a period of
rest before a second meal is TAX
en-. Then if you eat no more than
you crave and take a reasonable
amount of outdoor exercise eV-
cry day you will not need to wor-
ry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the case,
that should be corrected at once.
A dose of C~hamberlain's Tab
lets will do it. ADV.
