George Washington's team has
been sent into nine games this sea-
son and the charges of Coach Maud
Crum, former Princetonian. have
given good accounts of themselves.
Five victories have been scored.
while three games We're lost and one
tied. Perhaps the Hatchetites' most
notable achievement was it's 3-3
deadlock with Hopkins in Baltimore.
The Johnnies in that contest were
fortunate to stave off defeat for they
Were thoroughly outplayed.
All told. George Washington has
registered lis points against Is made
by its opposition. Those figures
speak well for the Hatchetites' of
fensive power ana defensive quality.
The downtown uuive. slty has num-
bered among its victims Blue Ridge
College. Western Maryland, DreXel,
st. Joseph and Buffalo. 1t has lost
to Juniata, Pennsylvania Military
College and DcIuware, but by small
sores.
Catholic University has not been
so fortunate in its program. Several
times the Brookland coaches Were
forced to reconstruct the team and
each time it was a trifle slow in
rounding into form. Washington
College is the only team defeated
by Catholic University in seven en-
lagements. while it has lost to Holy
Cro.s, Quantico Marines, Western
Maryland and Mount St. Mary's. But
LynChburg and Maryland We're held
TO scorelesS ties and that 90 Strug-
gle with the Maryianders brought
much JOY to the Brooklanders.
The season scoring record for the
Red and Black credits them with 70
points against 6J made by their OPP
ponentS. with the Marines boosting
the total against the Washington
eleven considerably. Western Mary
land offers a basis for comparison
Of the BrooklanderS and HachetiteS.
After George Washington trounced
the Westminster team 19 to D, the
latter beat Catholic University, 13 to
Z. But games this season have
proved that comparative scores mean
little.
George Washington has trimuphed
in but two of the five games 1t has
played with Catholic University. In
the first game played between teams
of the institutions in 1910, the down
towners won. but in the second game,
played in 1916. the laurels went to
the Red and Black. War-balked re-
lationS were renewed in 1921, and
Catholic University beat George
Washington, 13 to 0, getting it's final
touchdown when one of its players
intercepted Hatchetite pass and
ran nearly the length of the field to
goal. George Washington won, 13
to Z. in 1922. but last year Catholic

LEADING FROM BEHIND

It is easy to become a leader "a
your community by getting yourself
in the limelight and staying ahead OF
the crowd. But can you dead from
behind?" Can you set a good work
in motion quietly and carry it for
ward without ostentation? This, af-
ter all, is the real basis Of community
leadership. People like to be led, but
not from the front. The real ommu-
nifty leader will ssume an unpreten-
tious role, and play it for all there is
in it. He will receive credit, not in
empty phrases of tribute, perhaps,
but in the satisfaction of having rem
dered a service to his fellow citizens.
Results is what we are after.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-04-10
LET us NOT BE PERTURBED

There is no question but what the
oil Investigating has done two things
to the country. First it has shaken
the conscience of the people and
caused them to lose confidence in
matters governmental. Secondly, it
has served and will serve in the fut-
ure to arouse the voters to more care
in choosing their representatives and
officers-that is, their public ser
wants, But let us not be quick to eX-
aggerate the apparent evils that are
being shown forth. No matter what
the Investigation will show or the re-
suits of the prosecutions may be,
there is one thing we must remember
this is America, and America is
not the government officials any
more than it is you and 1. The prin-
ciples Of free government will live de-
spite the scandals that seem to rock
the ship of state. In fact, the nation
will be stronger having gone through
the tempestous storm. Out of strife
will come victory, a lasting victory
for honest and efficient government.
Much of the testimony relates to mere
personal matters, and if we recall,
the verbatim reports of unimportant
law suits are oftimes sensational but,
when analysed, mean very little. The
world goes on just the In And
America will go forwahr. Let us not
be perturbed but buckle on the ar
mour of civic and national righteous
ness. When the smoke n cleared
away it will reveal tombstones of
politicians whose political
fortunes have been buried forever.
