Photometry is reported for the close binary stellar system (intermediate polar) V1223 Sgr, tending to confirm the canonical model in which a rotating magnetized white dwarf accretes from a close companion via an accretion disk which is disrupted near its inner edge, giving rise to X-ray emission modulated at the white dwarf spin period. Many of the features discovered by Warner and Cropper are confirmed. An upper limit for the period change of the 794-sec oscillation of less than 2.3 x 10 to the -7th/yr is derived. Thus the accreting object has a moment of inertia too small to be a neutron star and is presumably a white dwarf. Observations were made with the No. 2 0.9-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in unfiltered light and with an integration time of 10 sec.
