DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
FOR ID. C. FOOTBALL FANS.

Saturday. April ~.
Keen Gauger. Washington Herald:
TN LOOKING over The Herald this
morning I had the good fortune
to note your remarks In the Call
ing EN- Right" column apropos the
football situation in Washington.
Congratulations both on the timeli-
ness and accuracy of your remarks
and for your courage in expressing
your convictions. A little more such
plain speaking and 1t might be that
we could shame at least one or
two of our colleges into giving the
people of Washington something
worth. looking at IN the football
line.
AS a loyal Georgetown aiumnus.
I am (and have been for some timer
quite disguised with the aggrega-
tions they have bringing on here
ito the slaughter" 1t strikes me
that you were exceedingly charita-
BILE in chasing them even as third
raters-and to add insult to injury.
just note some Of the has-beens and
never-heard-ofs that are to grace
the sod at American League Park
this fall! II is enough to make the
saints weep! For the past two or
three years I have had in mind the
thought of writing to the powers
that be" at the Hilltop and ex-
pounding some pretty plain facts.
but have forborne in the hope that
from year to year something might
develop along more favorable lines.
Just how much longer they think
We are going to go cheerfully sup
porting them for the privilege OF
seeing games that are played with
teams that are nearer tenth than
third-raters and the added privi-
lege of reading year in and year
out of the accounts of the only de-
cent gameeall played on foreign
fields-is utterly beyond me to
fathom-patience has just about
become exhausted.
Further than being disappointing.
II is nothing more than keeping bad
faith with Washington sportdom.
let alone loyal Georgetown men.
for. ] remember only too we'll how.
when last years miserable home
schedule was published. the excuse
for it was the promise that we
might look for at least two or three
really big games this year-the in
sinuation being that Georgia Tech
"Oulu Dt aiming tneHn as Well as
Boston College. But no, the lure
OF the filthy lucre" proved too
strong a temptation. and we are
aga n asked to flock to the ball
park to see them in combat with
little more than schoolboy- ability
teams. More power to you in the
future to hand out just criticism,
Personally, I am not inclined
tn criticise too harxhly because
they schedule a couple Of their
big games AWAY each year OF
every other year, for their ex-
penses, I understand, have been
running high of late Years and
the truth of the matter II that
teams are not auptorted In
Washington ms they are in
other cities. In other words, II
is not wholly a one-sided story,
nm forced to admit. However.
Notwithstanding that, believe
that we are far from getting
n "square deal, In the matter
of football In Washington. The
very least we might with rea-
SON expect Il that Georgia
Tech, Boston College and Holy
Cross or some other strong team
come here every other year, in
fact, II I recall correctly, that
much was insinuated when Civ
ing their excuses for last years
poor schedule.

attract local ring fans to the hall.
Not that Bowen Is not deserving of
the place on the card, as many
Washington fans who lamped the
last meeting between the District
product and the Baltimore boxer
thought that the worst Bowen
should have had was a draw. The
commi ssion ruled otherwise in max

won the popular verdict over Cha
ney at Philly some months ago
much to the surprise of the Balti-

These political duels are urneces-
sary, even childish and can be avoid
ed If one wishes. The distinguished
Count Apponyi, for iEst";nce, has been
member of the Hungarian Parlia-

a duel. He has always kept his head

here. What with the narrowed inter-
ests that have come about since the
war, and the troubles over the throne
question. there are so many duels no.
one can keep count cf them. They
occur over the most trivial matters.
One evening recently an English Of
ficer in mufti was sitting in a cabaret
and the Hungarian next to him kept
juggling his chair. The former asked
politely enough II his neighbor could
not change his position a little. A
slight alteration, arose but pCssed off
quietly. So the Englishman was sur
prised to be challenged to a duel the
next day. He wanted to laugh it off
but the seconds of the other man in
sisted, so he had to accept. Other
wise he could hardly have remained
here. He chose pistols and the duel
was arranged. At the word Fire"
he shot into the ground. Seeing this the
Hungarian fired his remaining two
ahots into the ground and the affair
was quite satisfactorily settled.
