Stadium either December 5 or
December IL between George
town University and the Uni
versity of Virginia were being
made today by George Adams,
executive secretary of the Dis
trict of Columbia Committee on
Employment.
Mr.. Adams plans q trip to
Charlottesville at an early date.
but devoted today to securing
letters in behalf of his cause
from Virginia legislators in Con-
gresS. Mr.. Adams was at the
Senate Office Building up until
the noon hour today.
The Virginia. Georgetown game
was suggested in the columns Of
this newspaper a week ago to-
day as being one which would
fill Clark Griffith Stadium and
going on the belief that the
Maryland-G Georgetown game would
be rejected at College Park, the
Times started independently on
Sunday to try to negotiate the
practically impossible task of ar
ranging a game between George.
town and Virginia.
Father TimmOthy ]. Dineens
athletic moderator at George
town was interviewed at the
Hilltop last Sunday by
Times representative, the
former going on record as be-
ing willing to play Virginia.
Telephone and telegraphic
communication with Charlottes.
vile throughout this week have
failed to meet aught but stone
wall objection at Charlottesville,
where the faculty and students
have already voted to not play
postponed game for charity or
for any other purpose.
The objection that the South
ern Conference code did not per-
NIT of more than a 1O-week
schedule was advanced, and it
was cited that the season in the
South commenced September 10
the ten weeks would be up
after November %.
This procedure cannot be
changed without the consent Of
the Southern Conference which
does not meet again until De.
cember 10.
Another obstacle brought to
bear against q Virginia George
town game was the matter Of
eligibility, the original breaking
point between those two col.
leges, which was reached in
1913.
Meanwhile, Virginia is consist
ent in its attitude about no post
season games, having reeused q
proposition from the Richmond
Times-Dispatch to participate in
a round-robin in Richmond. Vir-
ginia has also refused to meet
the University of Florida in a
benefit game.
The fact that quarterly exami-
nations begin at Charlottesville
on December 9 was also stressed
by the declining Virginia authori-
ties.
Meanwhile The Times had Sc
cured a promise of the local ball
park that the stadium would be
available for a night game De-
cember S.
One declaration to this news
paper insisted that a negative
attitude was registered or all
sides at Charlottesville regarding
a proposed game with George
town, and that instead Of seeing
why such a game might be valu-
able at this time, saw 90 reason
at all for it. ..
The Times then wired 10. rea-
sons why it thought the game de-
sirable. The reasons are:
1. Virginia's chances for win
ming such game are better
this year than at any time since
the break occurred in 1913.
2. Georgetown is more nearly
in an attitude now to meet
Southern Conference require
mentS for this game than ever
before.
3. The game would probably
lead to . home and home re.
neWal which would mean much
to Virginia's ambitious athletic
program.
4. Virginia needs to develop
LerSef in the largest community
to the north in order to attract
more students from here.
S. 1t is obvious she can de-
velOp in the south and in her
own state, but can she exist on
her own VitalS?
6. Does not any college need
to brin in a healthy admixture
from new fields to establish a
strong gene 81 texture?
