the four and dropped three.
Thus in the 8.1.A. A. she has won
twelve and lost live.
The mere statement of the
number of wins and losses gives
no adequate idea of the bril

that was won on the Northern
trip was from Georgetown, while
one was lost to George Washing

University of Virginia. Had

Football Abolished
Trustees Pass Resolution to That
Effect
The wearers of the long hair anil
kickers of the pigskin will soon have
to give up the light In tho University
of Georgia.
After this year there will bo no
more football played by tho Unlver
slty students, unless the rules of the
game are decidedly modified.
That Is the decision of the Hoard of
Trustees and what they have to say
on the subject Is final.
The mafter was brought up In the
meeting of the board yesterday by
Judge George F. Oobor, and the reso
lution Introduced by him was passed
after very little debate.
The trustee* will not Interfere with
the game this year, as the team has
already contracta covering a number
of gamea, but after this year all these
games will cease.
This action of the board Is sure to
cause discussion among those who
favor the game, hut the sentiment of
the board on the subject Is quite pro
nounced.
