1T is most gratl1ylng TO the
numerous members Of the George
town alumni that at least one
man has recognized in Is years
that there is such a town as
Washington, D. c., with a uni
versity on the outskirts by the
name of Georgetown, which par
ticipates in sports, which can
develop an athlete Of the all
American caliber.
Il refer to Red Grange, who
ia himself had to bear the bars
to-. get his reputation. He has
picked Gonnaughton, Of George
town, as his all-American choice
for guard. Grange has thor
,oughly studied the situation from
football standpoint. He has
forgotten friends and schools. He
has given thought to his mythical
eleven from games played and
actual facts. He deserves much
credit, as from facts and figures
he has picked a wonderful all
American team, if such could
exist.
81, nevertheless; cannot realize
that in the older days there were
not more men like Grange, en-
who would give thought in pick
ing their teams and use facts and
figures to arrive at a percentage.
"You had to belong to the big
school to get on the all-American
team, if our late friend, Walter
Camp, picked you, and everybody
waited to see who he was going
to pick before they gave their
decisions.
81 am proud Of Connaughton
for his achievements, but / desire
to say that had Red Grange been
in the business in 1911 and 1912
he would have picked the greatest
football player that this world
has ever seen If he had seen
Harry Costello in action.
Costello was an elusive back.
He was the greatest tackler 1
have ever, seen. Nobody in the
football world could outpunt him,
outside of Jim Thorpe, Of Carlisle,
and he was christened 'Nine-P Point
Harry as a dropkicker.
Costello was the greatest and
surest punter and dropkicker that
this football world has ever seen,
bt sides being a tricky back with
a hip motion most deceptive to
the would-pe tackler.
Z "What a wonderful sight it,
was for those years to see Thorpe
and Costello playing against each
other. They loved each other and
they both felt they were giving
their best.
"'Red' Grange would never
have passed up Bill Cusack, the
greatest defensive end that ever
stood on Georgetown field in the
last rs years. He would never
have passed up Tommy Whelan,
the greatest offensive end at
Georgetown for the same period,
with the greatest record Of all
ends in receiving forward passes
and scoring touchdowns. He also
would have given grave considcra-
ton to Johnny Gilroy, q running
back with great qualifications

CHARLES r. COX,
"Former Graduate Manager,

This writer indorses all that
Cox says of Harry Costello, thu
greatest lightweight player he has
seen in intercollegiate football
running back into the '00's.
"It's a fact, LOU" Costello told
this writer once, "that have
played against West Point and

1916 to make the team average
look better. But l don't remem-

It is undoubtedly true that Cos
tello's football reputation suffered
a severe handicap. because he
wore a Georgetown uniform. But

edge who saw him at his best he
was just about the best little
player there ever was on a var

A Labor Turncoat
about Havelock Wilson's Autobiographyl

at the regular wage of Is Cd per week.
At the age of 10 he became print
er's devil on a weekly newspaper.
At the age of II he responded to the
"call of the sea-" which has given to
Great Britain many famous seaman,
whose literary type we find in the un-
forgettable figure of Robinson Crusoe.
In the company of playmate he ran
away from home to go to sea, but
they were captured by detective and
the little printers devil" was brought
back to his family and to the printing
shop. Nevertheless, he ran away
again and became a seaman. For 20
years he sailed before the mast, put
ting up with all the hardships and
dangers of the seaman's calling, and
experiencing on his own back the en-
tire horror of the life of the morgan
lied seamen, Of the unfairness Of the
courts which always interpret the law
to the advantage of. the shipowners.
He saw the INSCRIPTIONS way in
which the seaman was robbed of his
earnings, and the unrelieved misery
Of the unorganized masses of the sea-
men.
On reaching the age of discretion,
Havelock Wilson arrived at the con-
viction that the only way to help the
seamen was to organize strong union
which would enable the seamen to
fight their battles collectively and to
resent solid front to the employers.
e resolved on creating such union
Id to this purpose he dedicated the
hole of his life.
How did Mr.. Wilson's life proceed
tier that momentous decision? He
ave to his autobiography the title:
My Stormy Voyage Through Life"
1t was indeed stormy voyage, full
Of daring and stupendous persever-
nee. 1t can hardly be imagined what
t meant to organize the National Sea-
mems and Firemen's Union of Great
Britain and Ireland, which has now
become the greatest organization of
seamen in the capitalist world. On a
great day in July, 1887, he. made the
first step to- form a national union.
After canvassing and distributing
thousands of handbills he got one sea-
man to come to the meeting. Never
theless he did not despair, and he
went on canvassing and distributing
handbills. With his audience of one
he held a meeting at which he was
unanimously elected president, and
his audience secretary. Jointly with
his secretary he drew up the agenda
of the meeting and discussed the stat
utes Of the organization, which were
carried unanimously. Such was the
beginning of the union which, accord
ing to the statement of the president,
the same Mr.. Wilson, has now a men,
bership of about 100000 and about
100000 in funds. Soon after the
unique founding Of the organization

leader. The council, with COM
mendabIe wisdom, decided to
close the long years Of tragedy
and begin a new era. II was not
only wise, but presidential, for
looming In the distance there was
a great human upheavaI sweeping
along, and when Il burst upon US
the nation had a contented, pa
triotic mercantile marine led by
a great leader, without which we
could not have survived"
Thus it happened that Havelock
Wilson was recognized and confirmed
as the leader of the British seamen
by the very same shipping federation
which had been created for the spe-
cific purpose of fighting his union, and
which has done so in the course Of 20
years.
Ever since his recognition" we find
Wilson a changed man. First and
foremost he advances the interests Of
national shipping, which he stoutly
defends in times of war and peace.
He solidly Identifies himself and his
organization with the shipowners, by
whom he is treated as sincere
friend. Together with the shipown-
ers, he orders the arbitrary reduction
Of the seamen's wages without con-
sulting the latter, entirely forgetful
of his vigorous resistance to such
things in the past, and oblivious to
the fact that such things will not be
liked by the masses of the seamen
today. Resting on the laurels ten
dered to him by the capitalist ship
owners, Havelock Wilson grows wise
and confesses that in his past activity
he had been frequently unfair to-
wards the shipowners, committing
numerous mistakes, which he now
sees in a different light. To his old
comrade in arms, Tom Mann, now a
Communist, who has fought side by
side with him in the famous lockers
strike OF 1899, he now reads lectures
on sweet reasonableness, which he
does also to other leaders of the trade
union movement who have fallen. into
the sin of leftis1n. @ 8
He is now completing his career as
an out-and-out traitor to the interests
Of the masses of the 'seamen, who en-
ploys blackleg methods in combating
the strike of his own British seamen,
thus completing the process of his
own conversion from a labor leader
into tool OF the oppressors of the
seamen Of Great Britain.
Wilson's autobiography, an ex-
tremely valuable and interesting con-
tribution to the "history of the sea
and the seaman" clearly and elo-
quently reveals the process of the
transformation Of a leader from a
fighter into traitor, which is so char
asteristic for a number of past trade
union leaders who are now disappear
ing from the stage.
