vanished-this adding immensely
to the games appeal from week
to week and helping to bring out
the great throngs in evidence
everywhere. The spectators soon
came to regard nearly every game
as a possibility for dramatics by
the underdog and response was
general through a remarkably
great season.
The spectacular comeback of
Notre Dame from the crushing
loss to Pittsburgh; the breaking
of Minnesota's long winning
streak by Northwestern; brilliant
records compiled by Marquette.
DuqueSne, Louisiana State and
Santa Clara, to mention only four,
are a scant few of the innumer-
able factors which heightened ma
tional interest.
While there was some pickering
over the rules, as a whole they ap-
parently were better understood
last season than in any previous
year. There were very few miSin-
terpretations by officials in college
games, and reports to me from
every part of the country state
that both the rules and officiating
we're very satisfactory.
Of course, neither the rules nor
the officiating will ever approach
perfection, but it is hoped some
improvement can be made each
year, without making too many or
too drastic changes.
Decrease Fatalities
Particularly gratifying last sea-
son was a further decrease in
fatalities and injuries. although
the number of men and boys play
ing was greater than ever before.
Also there was high average of
SportsmanShip on the part of the
players and coaches, which added
to the enjoyment of the spectators
who in turn did their part by dis
couraging drinking and rowdyiSm
in the stands and on the field
after the game.
In short, last season was one
of the greatest football has ever
enjoyed from every standpoint
and We hold high hopes for 1897
The new year scarcely can be
more colorful than 1886, but il
there is not too much tinkering
with the rules we can depend
upon the coaches showing us an
even better brand of football
than was exhibited during the
past season.
I am certain that much Of the
improvement in play last season
was due to the rules committee
having given the coaches and
players a breathing spell" fol
the past several years.

Kiese| Only
Sure Starter
Saturday

# George Washington's basket
ers put forth as much energy
againt Nebraska Saturday night in
their big intersectional clash at
Tech High School gym as they are
doing in current drills it'll take
plenty of downright courage and
fine basketball to stop them in
their quest of a third straight
victory. :,
Coach Bill Reinhart's squad OF
13 dribble pass and shoot artists
are battling so hotly and so evenly
for recognition as starting per
formers that not even the Colonial
mentor himself can determine at
this time what five form the most
effective combination that will
carry the Buff and Blue banner.
Two Wins In Bag
It has been two months since
the Colonials began practicing and
two victories already have been
registered in as many starts, yet
it appears that only Capt. Hal
Kiesel, all-District center for two
wears, is certain of a starting
nomination for the Nebraska con-
test.
Kiesel has been teaming at. for
wards with Tommy O'Brien,
Junior, who averaged more than
10 points per game in his first
varsity campaign last winter, and
with Bob Faris and Joe Brennan,
members of last years crack fresh
men five, which won the District
A. A. U. championship.
In the meantime KieSePs old
position has been the bone of con-
tention between a pair OF sopho-
mores, Jack Butterworth and
Bruce Borum, both of whom are
sturdy lads, excellent jumpers and
keen sharpshooters. But If neither
of them suits in the final analysis
of what constitutes the strongest
array Reinhart can start, then
Kiesel easily can be shifted back
to his former berth.
At the guards Reinhart has been
working the veteran Milt Schon-
field with Ben Goldfaden, a con-
verted forward, and with Dave
Osborne, Sid Silkowitz, Pete Bero-
nio, Walt Bakum and Clarence
Berg.
SchOnfeld PaSSer
The last two named are two
year lettermen and have proved
time and again their worth under
fire. Schonfeld, because of his
deft passing and dribbling, is
rated slightly ahead of the other
guards, all of whom, however,
exhibit as much fire and dash
as he.
Thus 1t appears that G.. w. will
be prepared at least spiritually
and mentally for the invasion of
the towering Cornhuskers, who
form one of the tallest college
quints in the country. The Co
lonials plainly look like a gang
that has the will to win.
That Nebraska will prove genu-
inc test of their strength in all
departments is evidenced by the
CornhuskerS' victories over Ohio
State, conqueror of California;
Minnesota, Big Ten contender;
Western Reserve and Montana.

First-Hand Baseball


First-Hand Baseball
The domestic attitude with ref
erence to totally hundred per
cent radio policy is armored be-
hind a desire to educate the
washington and Baltimore fans,
all within baseball and radio
reach of Griffith Stadium, to
avail themselves of first-hand
baseball when such is geographi-
cally possible.
The American League, as it now
polls, is rs per cent in favor OF
unstinted airing of it's games, both
at home and abroad, all but two
clubs feeling that instead of in
juring their local attendance, ra-
doing of local games stimulates
patronage, just as it has been felt
from the infancy of the game that
newspaper coverage accelerates
the turnstiles.
But in view of the radio trend,
I wonder how long it will be be-
fore baseball makes newspapers
bid for exclusive privileges of mir
roring their contests!
Helps Fair Interest
Six out of eight American
League clubs and the same pro-
portion Of National League clubs
recognize the fact that fan inter
est is kept intact, even to fever
heat, by permitting broadcasting
for those who, for various reasons,
cannot be in the grandStandS
when the clubs are playing at
home.
I think it is only a matter OF
time until the hold out" clubs on
local broadcasts will join the ma
jority and yield to solid broad
cast policy, both at home and
abroad.
More and more baseball is mod
cling itself along these lines. More
and more the clubs are warming
up to night baseball. More and
more they are yielding to the de-
STABILITY, from a gate standpoint,
of some synthetic Sunday double
headers, once taboo.
In fact, the majority Of base
ball opinion about radio, as re-
flected by six clubs in each major
league, may force these things on
Washington and the three New
York clubs.
Must Be Consistent
Baseball MUST hang together
in this radio policy, just as it Goes
in it's scale of admissions, it's draft
and trade agreements and other
regulations.
Meanwhile, hasn't the public OF
Washington and New York as
much right to expect broadcasts
of local games as the public of
Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago and st. Louis?
On whom is baseball going to de-
pend for its existence in the fu-
ture, the public, or the makers of
noodles for alphabetical soup? Is
it going to continue to treat all
fans in every city alike. or is it
going to differentiate in some
cities, as it has in its radio policy?
1t seems to me a basic and re-
deeming virtue of the so-called ma
tional pastime is involved here
a principal embracing fan equal
ity-and whether it is good busi-
ness or bad for the baseball peo-
pie to radio home games, the fact
remains that Washington is out of
step with the vast majority in its
SNUG and Self-SatiSfied defiance Of
what, for all it knows, the fans
might wish.
Possibly they should be allowed
referendum in the matter!

draining Conemaugh Valley in
Pennsylvania, famed for the Johns
town flood of 1889. From three to
five inches of rain fell at some of
the upland weather observing sta

The narrowness of the inter-
mountain valleys is mainly respon-
sible for the distressed condition of
the Virginia, Maryland and Penn

town is classic example. These
towns are built along the only
available routes for highways and
railroads which are right along the

Joh2stown's present high water

great flood that fixed the city's
name in history was due primar-
lily to the bursting of an overloaded
dam, which poured a wall of water
down the narrow valley.
TIE overlooking of that dam,
however, was due to just such
heavy rainy period as the present
one. The same storm raised the Po-
