Ihe ruling Centered around
Paul Perkins, basketball ace. who
entered Howard this semester
after attending Washington and
Jefferson College during the terms
of 1882, 1888 and the spring Of
1884. 1t was discovered by the
registrar at Howard three days
before the Howard-Lincoln game
Thanksgiving. that Perkins had
been dropped from the Pennsyl-
vania school because of poor
scholastic standing. Under the
c. I. A A. rules this made Perkins
ineligible for competition on a
team a member of the association.
Listed as FOrfeits
Through this ruling four games
on the Bisons' schedule have been
listed as forfeits.
This includes games with ST..
Paul and Hampton, which the
locals won and contests with Nor,
gan and Virginia State which re-
suited in Scoreless ties. Repre-

ruling.
BY virtue of the forfeit victory
over Howard, Morgan College was
awarded the football champion
ship for the fourth consecutive
year. Up until this time, the
Maryland college was tied with
Bluefield Institute for the crown.
Howard was given the basketball
title; Union University the track
championship; Johnson C. Smith,

Of the leading reserves of the
Navy football team have turned

boxing and wrestling, with a scat

Other football men on the first
basketball squad are Lou Robert

Tommy King. regular half;
George Whitmyre, substitute

serve tackle. Whitmyre is a for
ward candidate and BaylesS is
trying for center.
The massive and fiery tackles,
Slade Cutter and George Lambert,
are the regular unlimited and
light boxers on the varsity
team. Cutter has never lost a
bout as a plebe or varsity fighter
Lambert. captain of the team,
has also made a good record IN
his class.
A big section of the football
squad has turned attention tC
the wrestling mat. One of these
is Ray Vogel, sub guard, who was
unbeaten in the 175-pound class
last season. Others are Ker

series. so baseball men tell me,
Ruth placed Col. Jake Rupert,
New York owner, very much on
the spot.
Ruth is said to have told Rup-
pert he would not sign another
year as player.
Meaning what!
That he had to be manager
Or nothing.
Spoke Too Hastily
AS time wears on. it looks like
it will be NOTHING for Ruth,
as a result of hasty speech on
his part to the gent who has
paid him off the last IA years.
The ultimatum on Ruth's
part to Colonel Rupert amount
ed to demand for Joe Nc.

Some such a thing should be
done with all of the tried-and-
true men who have been great
credit to baseball over long
span of years-men like Babe
Ruth, Walter Johnson. Sammy
Rice. Nick Altrock and their like.
Utilizing Deserving Names
AS Tommy Connolly has been
converted into usefulness in the
American League Empirical staff
and as George Moriarty is also
utilized as a spreader of the gos-
pei of baseball, so should the
RuthS and the JohnSonS be alb
sorbed to re-embue the new gen.
Grafton of boys with the grand
old game which made their
names famous.
And speaking of Ruth-the
man-not without a country
but the man without job, he is
solely to blame for the predica-
ment in which he finds himself
today.
