and regard In which Georgetown may
now be held.
This. In brief, Is Q resume of the po
'cy TO be followed ut Georgetown unc
,Aills' regime, and the statement OF pei
lev came from no other than Mills hir2-
self.
"You can say for me-" says Mills
that no other university is going to be
able to point with suspicion to any attn
etc who may be q member OF any
GEORGETOWN team as long as am direc-
tor of athletics. II any other universA1
Knows anything concerning any OF our
athletes that we do not know, II any
other university has information that In
dictates we should not use any OF our
men, then I want that university to take
up the matter with me and give me the
opportunity to handle 1t. Under such
circumstances, 1t will not take me long
to eliminate an ineligible from our attn
letics.
And another part Of our policy. Is
that we are going to take 1t Tor granted
that other schools want US to adopt tne
same attitude toward them. we snaii
keep our teams clean, and, vice versa.
we are going to take up with other
schools the case of any man we think
should not represent them. We may
make enemies by this. but think 1t Is
the only fair thing to do and the only
way we can all make real progress ana
keep away from gossip and rumors that
do athletics no good.
IT want every school to feel that

In doing everything 1t Ca TO better
whether that school Is one of our OPP
ponents or not, to know that we shall
appreciate any efforts that may be made
to keep our teams free from suspicion.
II we have an athlete who Is not what
he should be, want to know 1t, and,

GEORGETOWN, our sister institutions owe
&c 10 US 10 bring 1t to our attention.
We intend to watch these matters so
closely that we do not expect any ath-

but II one should, and, somebody knows
something we do not, then we shall

Mills expects to do In connection with
Georgetown athletics could be given
