Anent athletics at George Wash- fngton, it is not amins to mention here that the writer yesterday asked Bryan Morse, Hatchetite athletic di- rector, what he thought of the last foot ball season and what effect he thought the defeats suffered would reflect n the future of gridiron-teams at George Washington University. Morse'’s reply should be interesting to ‘all connected with college Varound here, and more than interest- . ing to George Washington students: # “We did just about as well last sea- #on as I expected. I made no attempt 2o conceal from our squad right at ‘$he start that we were in for some real beatings before the end of the year, and told them not to let such | _ defeats worry them. but to think of " the future. We built our squad with _& view entirely for the next two or three years, rather than last year. We took our beatings. but you will see . the results next fall and in 1922. We shall have a team next year about ten times stronger than the one which represented us last fall. and in 1922 we are zoing to be on a plane where ‘we shall be able to compete on even terms with the strongest colleges in the section. And we may hand one or two of our strongest opponents a little surprise or so before next sea- son is finished ' . DREYFUSS OPTIMISTIC. With Maranville Signed, Pirates’ Future Is Rosy. NEW YORK.

It is hard .10 determine whether the flelder should be credited with a wise play or the base runner with a dumb one. There is a runner on third, and the batter hits a slow one down the third base line. There iS no one out, so the runner on third holds his bLase. The third baseman, realizing the ball . is traveling so slowly he will have no chance to get the batter who is a fast man, allows the ball to roll, hop- ing it will go foul. The ball con- tinues down the line a couple of inches fair, hits the third base bag | ,and bounds up and strikes the run- ner standing on third, despite his ef- forts to avoid it. The batsman goes to second on the play. What was the proper ruling? Runmer on Third Ix Out. | | | the fact that he was standing on the + bag when hit by the ball. He must avoid the batted ball.

T0 BETTER BASKET BALL Officials Plan to Standardize Play Here—Would Have Committee Assign Arbiters. An organization of District basket ball officials that should do much to- ward standardizing play in the court game here will be effected Thursda; if plans formulated at a gathering of coaches, managers and officials at the Central Y. M. C. A. last night are car- ried to a conclusion. Notices have been sent to officials who did not at- tend last night's session to convene with the others at the “Y” Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, when it is ex- pected that officers will be elected and 2 governing code adopted. The new body will resemble the board of approved officials recently or- ganized in Philadelphia and which has gone far toward perfecting the popu- lar indoor game. Bryan Morse, coach of the George Washington University basketers, who attended the Philadel- phia meeting at which the board plan was adopted, will have charge of the organization details here. With a District board in operation. ocolleges, schools and clubs desiring local officials will have them assigned by the central committee from the approved list, a method similar to that employed in the assignment of foot ball officials. It is not expected that the District board will affiliate with any central governing body in the north. Those connected with the sport here are more interested in the development of basket ball in the south, and want a controlling board in that section. Officials present last night were Beckett and Fuller, Central Y. M. C. A.; Morse, Clarkson Tech; Green, Temple: Nugent, Springfield 'Y. M. A.; Dunn, National Guard; Morri Maryland; Apple, Michigan, g Fitz- gerald, Gonzaga; Hughes, navy®yard, and Bratburd, Cleveland Commerce. Fuller was chosen temporary secre- tary. During a rule interpretation dis- cussion _the sections of the code gov- erning “time out” and “held ball” un- der the basket were particularly stressed. No time deductions are to be made except as ordered by the offi- cial in charge of the game. It was de- cided that where court construction precluded a strict adherence to rules modifications of the code should be determined before the start of con- tests. ‘Wheatley Leads in Cue Play.

The combination of Herrick and Haines is not a sudden arrangement, the experiment was made a good many years ago and i proved thoroughly satisfactory. Owing to the rules of the Henley regatta, it was necessary, when Har vard entered a crew there, to bar Haines. who was a professional coach Therefore Herrick, who had been the graduate adviser and worked with Haines, took the crew over in 1914 and coached it until it won the blue ribbon of the British rowing world The result of the arrangement at Har- vard is that the crew will have the benefit of both these able men. Middle Western Storms. Feeling seems to be growing in the middle west foot ball conference, and a good portion of it comes from the matter of schedules. Connected with this is the question of intersectional games, for, in order to put in her game with Princeton, Chicago was obliged to turn down her old-time rival—Michigan. Thie and the break between Wisconsin and Ohio State, which seems to be growing into considerable recrimination, is making things decidedly shaky in the conference. Moreover, the so-called “minor teams” of the conference have never had a fair chance at big games, and hence are noné too eager to see the bigger fellows get the cream of all the foot ball dates. This had one good result in that Indiana, lowa, Purdue and Northwestern are all looking for much more developed teams and better coach- ing in the hope to put their names on the foot ball map with such impresive- ness as to demand better bookings. Greased Jackets Reappear. Last week the writer commented on the different grades of roughness in basket ball, and now there comes out a charge from Wisconsin that the Michi- gan players “gry their jackets.” This leads one back to some decades, to the day of the first introduction of the canvas jacket into foot hall. These jackets were worn by Trinity players in a game against Yale. There / was much mystery connected with them. The Trinity players went into their dressing room and shades were put up at the windows. The doors were closed. Everything was done to prevent prying eyes. When the play- ers emerged from the dressing room, and it was at old Hamilton Park. New Haven, they had on canvas jackets and these jackets had been liberally smeared with ‘grease. They 1 were tight-fitting and the first few minutes of the game it was very difficult for the Yale men to hold onto them. In fact, they were like greased pigs. The problem was, however. solved by the Yale players scraping up handfuls of dirt and holding this dirt clenched in their hands until they got near enough to tackle the Trin- ity player.
