DISPUTED BASKET WINS FOR PITT IN GREAT COURT DUEL

FRESHMAN SMOKER \ BIG SUCCESS

G. U. Miler Runs Great Race, Losing To Ray—Walsh Takes

First Place In 880.

The Boston Herald of February 23 has the following on the mile race in which Jimmy Connolly lost by a scant margin to Joie Ray, the Illinois A. C. crack:

"There will never be another race like yesterday's mile, or, at least an equal thrill will be a long time coming. We have seen two runners act as if locked, but it was the first time three men, Ray, Cutbill and Connolly, ever gave us the picture of real motion.

Pittsburgh Noses Out Georgetown, 34-32, After Blue and Gray Leads For Greater Part Of Game—Timer's Whistle Unheard

As Jordan Hops One In—Florence Stars.

(From Pittsburgh Post, Feb. 23.) University of Pittsburgh won a great

contest last night from the Georgetown five at Trees gym, 34-32. The issue was undecided until the final whistle blew, with Jordan letting the winning field goal start for the basket just before the timer's whistle sounded finis. There was some doubt about the field goal counting until Referee Slack settled the question by calling the field goal as made, giving Pitt the victory. Zazzali, the visiting captain, put up a strenuous kick about the goal counting but was placated ere any trouble started.

The game was a fast affair from start to finish and the husky crew from Washington put up the best game seen here this season.

Program.

The Freshman class of the Law School held their first social event last Monday, February 21, a smoker at the Hotel Washington. About two hundred and fifty of the class attended, and the extensive program put on made it an undoubted success.

The faculty guests were Assistant Dean Fegan, Col. J. S. Easby-Smith, Jesse Atkins, and John Laskey. Rev. J. B. Creeden, President of the Univer- sity, was expected to attend, but he was unable to be present.

The program started at 8 :30 with an instrumental number by Daley's Orches- tra, and from then until the smoker broke up after midnight the clever per- formers secured by the entertainment committee kept the attention of every- one. One of the biggest hits of the night was a three-round exhibition bout between two members of the class, Frank Shea, formerly champion of the 42nd Regiment, and Joe Mclnnis, of Connecticut. These two gentlemen kissed each other prettily at the start of the first round, and then proceeded to put on a real man-sized slugfest, while the crowd went wild.

An unexpected feature of the program was the entrance of an elderly gentle- man with pugilistic features, who claimed he was the best bag-puncher in America. He said he was traveling incognito from Chicago, but hearing of the smoker thought the future lawyers would like to see a bit of classy bag- punching. To do him credit, it was classy, and he pounded the leather pear with fists, elbows, head, and the rest of his anatomy in perfect time with the "Japanese Sandman," and "Blue and Gray," while the crowd howled its ap- proval.

CONNOLLY BEATS CUTBILL Continued from page 1

hoped for, and, going into the conclud- ing stretches, he looked as good as the leader. Cutbill appeared to be the worst off of the three, while Ray was a prob- lem.

"Over and over again, like the curlers breaking on a sandy shore, the leaders parried. With two laps to go Cutbill held the lead and he was running, hut try as he could he was unable to shake off the shadows. Ray hopped in the back stretch and the contest looked over, but Cutbill, gathering something from nowhere, went up and by Joie as the pistol barked for the final round.

"They were running like mad with Cutbill still in the lead in the down stretch, but like a shot from a gun, Ray let loose another sprint and it was all over. Joie had a world of speed,, lift- ing to the front and off the last corner he was running like a sprinter. He had to go, for Cutbill, like the game- ster he is, never faltered.

"Then out of the dusk came Con- nolly. Oh, what a sprint had Jimmy. Had he loosened up a miie sooner there is no telling what would have happened. Ray, flying along in the home stretch, seemed fated for honors, but the way Connolly made up ground was a caution. Jimmy, flying arms and legs, caught the battling Cutbill five yards off the last bank, and driving into the finish, he waded toward Joie. The sprint showed too late and Ray had a five-yard ad- vantage on the Woburn lad, who was about the same distance in front of Cutbill." *

In the 8K0, Pete Walsh, running his first race for Georgetown, came in first. He was running 16 yards from scratch, and deserves great credit for defeating the fast field he ran against. The time was 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Dealy, of Boston College, who was running 36 yards from scratch, was a very close second. This is Walsh's first year of collegiate competition, and it is expected that he will go far. He is entered' in the thousand-yard race Saturday night at Baltimore. Last year he broke Jimmy Connolly's schoolboy record for this dis- tance.

The 440 was won by Jack Driscoll, of Boston College, with Sellers, of the New York A. C. second. The time was 54 seconds. Alex Brewster came in fourth. This is the second race Brewster has run under Georgetown's colors, and his failure to place is accounted for by the class of the field he was pitted against.

In the fifty-yard high hurdles, Le Gen- dre was forced to be content with third place. This was due to the fact that in the early part of the race the big track captain knocked one of the hurdles over. The time lost was disastrous in so short a race, and although Le Gendre finished well, he was unable to overcome the lead his accident had given his oppo- nents. Desch, of Notre Dame, came in first, with Sullivan, of Boston College, second. The time of the race was 6 4-5 seconds.

CONCERNING "G'S."

Following the HOYA'S editorial of last week pointing out that there were too many "G's" and gold footballs given out to football players and others this year, Mr. MacElhinny, President of the A. A., called on us and had a few words to say on the matter. The student head of the Athletic Association agreed with the HOYA that the President of the Athletic Association and the coaches should not receive gold footballs. In fact, Mr. MacElhinny wished to be quoted to that effect. We are glad to see him taking that stand in the matter. It can only mean that he, in his official capacity, will correct the abuse, or perhaps only the absurdity of giving gold footballs to those who do not earn them. Mr. Mac- Elhinny is not to blame for the fact that he and this year's coaches were awarded gold footballs. It is a custom of long standing at Georgetown and each year those who had it in their power to cor- rect it probably hesitated because it was a "custom." Let it stand to Mr. Mac- Elhinny's lasting credit, that when he was awarded a gold football, he realized the absurdity of it and refused to ac- cept it. Let him also be praised, that now, when the HOYA has pointed out the necessity for abolition of the custom, he has practically promised to urge the athletic executive board not to award gold footballs to the President of the Athletic Association and to the football

coaches in the future. Nothing more could be asked.

Referring to the HOYA'S assertion that too many "G's" had been given to play- ers, the President of the Yard again agreed with us, but added that he was of the opinion that only those players who had participated in fifty per cent of the games, that is, in fifty per cent of the total time played, received their "G's". He is doubtlessly correct. Dur- ing the past season, more than the ordi- nary number of men took part in a large part of many games. The coaches were continually shifting players about in or- der to produce a winning combination. It is Mr. Macllhinny's belief that nor- mal seasons would not witness so many players fulfilling the letter of the Con- stitution and participating in fifty per cent of the total playing time and that consequently so many "G's" would not be awarded. This, however, is not enough, we believe. The Athletic Asso- ciation is of the same opinion, for its Constitution says, in Article VII under "Rules Governing Wearing of a 'G'," "In the awarding of 'G's' in all sports the Board must take into consideration the recommendations of the coaches, and also the dictates of its own discre- tion." Let it be hoped that next fall the clause will be remembered, and that there will be more discretion. The HOYA

does not seek precedent of Georgetown or other colleges in advancing this sug- gestion. Even if every other college in the country awards varsity letters to numerous players that is no reason why Georgetown should do it. Neither should Georgetown continue a custom in any line, in football or in chess, just be- cause it is a custom. Tighten up on the awarding of "G's," tighten up, irrespec- tive of the respective toes that are trod upon.

INVESTING A. A. MONEY. We are bound to keep hammering at

the rifle team's need of funds. The Ath- letic Association asserts that it cannot afford to furnish the small sum of money needed for several rifles. The trouble is: the A. A. will not "invest" in the rifle team because the officials want to see a return on the money ex- pended. It is true that the several rifles that the1 A. A. might buy will not earn six per cent on the seventy dollars in- vested. But, it is also true that the rifle team, properly equipped, will meet insti- tutions met by the University in no other branch of sport and add lustre to the name of Georgetown that cannot be computed in terms of seventy dollars or seventy times seventy dollars. And this lustre is tangible and—we might add—a money maker for the Athletic Associa- tion. It is a pretty well known fact that the success of any one college team boosts other teams of the same institu- tion among the followers and patrons of sport. The other evening Ryan Gym was packed with spectators anxious to see Georgia Tech play. These specta- tors were not there to see the Tech bas- ketball team. Better basketball teams than the one from Atlanta have appeared here and played to smaller crowds. Peo- ple came to see, not the basketball five, but a team from Georgia Tech, that fa- mous Southern school that has been turning out such great football teams'

for several years. There are persons who see Georgetown play B. C. and oth- er teams in football because they first heard of G. U. by Bob LeGendre's feats in the pentathlon events. We argue for support for the rifle team on this same ground, namely: that it will raise Georgetown's standing in the sporting world and as a natural consequence aid all other sports. Anything that does this is certainly a good investment and the Athletic Association ought.to realize it. If it does not the old grads should. There are many, many Georgetown men who could write checks for several times the amount needed not only by the rifle team but by all the sports of the Univer- sity. Send a few small checks along for the rifle team. For convenience make them payable to the HOYA, and they will be immediately added to the team fund.

To encourage the raising of the need- ed sum for this most worthy cause the HOYA has sent a check for fifty dollars to Coach Hobson. The HOYA is not en- tirely unselfish in this, either, for it realizes that anything that helps George- town will help the HOYA, even in dollars and cents. The check for fifty dollars will not be a money investment for this year's HOYA, but the HOYA will exist long after this year and its future wel- fare is as important, and more import- ant, than any immediate glory. To make money is work well done, to spend it wisely is an art.

MAKE IT A SUCCESS.

There are times when one topic seems to occupy the center of the stage to the exclusion of others. This week arise several ideas for the betterment of Georgetown through its athletics. Also, at this time, the President of the Yard is promoting a concert, the proceeds to be used for athletics. The concert will be a good one. That is assured. Even if it were not, it should be supported by the men of the University. Do not stop at the purchase of one ticket and sink back in the easy chair, smugly compla- cent, feeling as though you had been over generous. There are numerous men in the University who can well af- ford to buy several tickets, while ten is a small quota for others. Get behind MacElhinny in this affair. Put it over with a bang. He will obtain no small sum of money for the Athletic Asso- ciation if his supporters are as earnest as he.

PLUGGING AWAY.

Beneath the surface the HOYA is still plugging away in its attempt to have an indoor athletic arena for Washing- ton. Just yesterday a letter was re- ceived from one of Washington's most prominent business men pledging his support to the proposition. Be- cause of the inauguration and attendant ceremonies, it will be impossible to ac- complish much toward the materializa- tion of the plan for the next two weeks. It is not forgotten, however. The HOYA

has already caused Congress to talk on the question and the newspapers of the District have supported it.

FLEA-BRAINS.

Henri Fabre, the "insect's Homer," has yet to pluck one intriguing little creature from out his buzzing lyre. It is that common insignificant specimen of the genus "homo," the "Flea-brain"—a creature of innumerable aliases, exotic, Gallic and glamourous. He is the pos- eur, the flaneur, the dilletante. He is the attitudinizer, the dabbler, the trifler. He is practically harmless to all except him- self. And although he ruffles many a worthy creature's plumage, his sting seldom pricks deeply, for his spirit is negligible, and his soul too infinitesimal to be detected by even the finest lens.

Parasite that he is, he feeds on other's ideas; flea that he is, he never delays long enough for a bellyful. But with a flexure of his mental hind legs he hops from ambition to ambition, from vocation to vocation, no two days dawn- ing with the same ideal on his mental horizon. His soul is chameleonic, his personality putty. And the only, lonely success he achieves is that of his little brother—annoying the workaday world. Chesterton in depicting the type says that "if the latest thing is to be philo- sophical, they try to be just that; if the latest is to be intellectual, the same ef- fect is made; if the latest thing is to be frivolous, frivolity reigns undisputed. They never go any further than where they started from, and frequently not so far."

Then, too, their fecundity is astonish- ing. College, where the rough edges of individuality can be so easily chipped off, is a favorite breeding place. And the commercial, political, and profes- sional worlds swarm with them. They become that malleable majority, that helpless herd, those irresponsible, docile but fickle followers of the bell-cows, that vast pedestal which raises its few thinking fellow-men high above the mentally-paralysed masses. They were the millions who let no adventure-lust fire their youthful veins, but were con- tent to placidly ape those few enviably restless ones. And their morning has moulded their evening.

Individuality must be developed in youth. Those are the days when the adventure urge is strongest. Away from the commonplace! We seek the undiscovered land of personal achieve- ment, so new trails must be blazed, strange seas must be crossed. Did the seekers for the El Dorado mount jack- asses, and, guided by yokels, go ambling over the Sussex downs, or loiter lazily in the fields near Barcelona? And yet, they did not totally abandon common- places. With them, the ordinary was a means to the extraordinary—they stocked their vessels well with everyday necessities and then set forth in search of new worlds.

Though the "God of copy-book max- ims" may no longer dwell on Olympus, the wisdom of his "Book of Proverbs" is just as trite and true as ever. And gold lies just as deep in the mountains as when our fathers learned the first principles of penmanship. Specializa- tion and constant endeavor are the only undeviating avenues to achievement. Eager devouring in one chosen line will feed us too fat to hop flea-fashion, but will rather give us the unrelenting clutch and means of forward locomotion of a centipede. It will eventually mark us as the bell-cows of the herd, and above all make us men above men.

Big Squad Of Track Men To Go To Hopkins Meet At

Baltimore.

For Second Time This Season G. U. Basketers Down

Hatchetites, 25-18.

Georgetown will make a strong bid for first honors in the South Atlantic meet to be held on the day after tomor- row at the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore, under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University. The Blue and Gray squad numbers about twenty men, and there seem to be enough first-class runners to win the meet. Georgetown's strongest rival will no doubt be Vir- ginia, who is represented by a squad of twenty-eight speed artists. Johns Hop- kins will also be present in force, as well as Catholic University and many other South Atlantic colleges. Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and other North- ern institutions will send competitors for the open and invitation events.

A list of entries seems to point to a Georgetown victory in the South Atlan- tic events. In the hurdles the Blue and Gray has Captain LeGendre, Malley, and Dreyfus. In last year's meet LeGendre ran away from a choice field, and should repeat Saturday, as there are no for- midable men pitted against him. Malley has picked up a lot of speed since last year, and should be able to place in the first three. Dreyfus is as speedy a man as there is in Georgetown—the football fans will remember how he was too fast for his interference last fall.

While there appears as yet no sprinter who can come up to Dorsey Griffith, there are some fast men in the short distances. Dreyfus, LeGendre, and Werts are entered in the S. A. hundred, and ought to take a few points between them. Werts is another man whose speed has been seen on the gridiron, and he is better yet with the spiked shoes. He is the only one entered in the open century event.

In th open 220 Werts and McSorley will try for places. Werts has done this distance in 22 seconds, and if he is in good shape is almost certain to take the event. McSorley is running his first Varsity race, but he has shown plenty of speed in practice and in interclass meets.

Shalloo and King are entered in the quarter mile, and Brewster, Fitzgerald, Marr, and Walsh in the half. Shalloo is a consistent runner, and King has been stepping the 440 in good time this winter, and one of them ought to land first place. The 880 quartet is perhaps the best com- bination on the team. Every one is a star, and it will take a good man to head any of them.

Jimmie Connolly, the king of the milers, and Tom Fitzgerald are in the S. A. mile. Connolly lowered the S. A. record by five seconds last year, and is speedier than ever, so he should have no trouble taking a few seconds from his own record. Tom Fitzgerald is a speedy miler, also, and took third in the same event in the 1920 games.

Coach O'Reilly has not yet decided that he will send a relay team in for the mile event. If he does it will be en- tered from the floor, and will be taken from the following men: LeGendre, Brewster, Connolly, Walsh, and Fitz- gerald.

The field section of the learn is rather weak this year on account of the grad- ual inn of several good pole men and jumpers. There art- no entries in the pole vault, and Moroney alone is en- tered in the high jump. Moroney is also in the S. A. Shot put, besides Cap- tain LeGendre and Sweeney. LeGendre took this event easily last year, and is expected to take first again. Goggin and Comstock are the entires for the open shot put.

First Practice Held Last Thurs- day—Manager Twohy An-

nounces Thirty Games.

In a spirited struggle Georgetown de- feated George Washington University 25 to 18, Saturday night in the Coliseum. The game was fast throughout, with Georgetown always ahead except for a few minutes in the beginning of the first half. It was the first game that the Hilltoppers played away from their home grounds, and was the tenth straight victory. The two teams met earlier in the season, Georgetown winning

After a few minutes of play, Flavin scored the first basket on a pass from Florence. The next basket was scored when Dudack passed to O'Connell. George Washington rallied and Brack- low eluded the defense, and made the first score for the home team. Flavin added a point when he made good a foul shot. George Washington was still play- ing at top speed and Eskew scored two baskets before the Georgetown defense started working properly. That put the home team in the lead 6 to 5. However, Georgetown needed this to spur them on. Dudack grabbed the ball at the jump and, taking it up the floor, passed to Florence who put it through the ring. Zazzali broke up a George Washington attack, and took the ball up to the bas- ket, but passed it back to O'Connell who made the score. The home team then retained possession of the ball for a few minutes but were unable to bring it down the floor. Again Zazalli broke up their attack, and taking the ball through their entire team passed to Florence, who sank the ball in the bas- ket. Spears scored on a free toss from the ring. This encouraged George Washington, and by a clever bit of team work Chesney dropped the ball in the basket. Flavin added two points to the score when he successfully shot two free tosses into, the basket. The ball kept traveling up and down the floor . for some time, until Florence succeeded in getting past the home team's defense and dropping the ball into the basket. George Washington added three points to their score when Boteler scored a basket, and Spears made good a free toss. The half ended with the home team trying to penetrate the Hilltop de- fense.

The second half began with George Washington getting the ball, and trying in vain to score. Flavin scored the first point by a free toss. Zazzali broke up an attempt to score, and took the ball down the floor, and passed to O'Con- nell, who caged another basket. Boteler added another goal for the home team when he made a pretty shot after get- ting through the Georgetown defense. O'Connell came right back with a bas- ket for the Hilltoppers. Boteler scored on a foul shot, but Flavin evened it up with his free toss a moment later. For some time, neither side could get the ball through their opponent's defense. Finally O'Connell grabbed the ball, and made a pretty shot from almost the middle of the floor. Georgetown made their last two points when Flavin made good two foul shots. Georgetown.

G. U. Floor Squad Downs Ohioans In Fastest Game Of Season

By Narrow Margin.

The remiander of the 1920 baseball champions and those who hope to be on the 1921 champions were called out last week to the 'Varsity field for the first practice of the year. About twenty-five candidates responded for the first call, and it is expected that the number will be nearly doubled this week. Coach O'Reilly has not yet made any statement concerning the aggregation, but there is no doubt that the squad is capable of re- peating last year's achievement. There are about twelve veterans, including seven or eight first-strong men, and the new material is almost too good to be true.

The pitching staff now numbers nine hurlers, Hyman, Reynolds, Bissonette, Ryan McCarthy, F'ormoso, Doherty, Houston, and Middleton. Hyman, Rey- nolds, and Bissonette are admitted everywhere in sportland as the best col- lege pitchers in the country, and the rest look like flingers of ability. Ryan was at Boston College High last year, and reports from Massachusetts say he is a star. McCarthy, a law man, pitched for the sub-freshman nine here two years ago. Formoso, end on the football team, comes from Hamilton Institute, where he. pitched before he entered the service.

The catchers are almost up to the pitchers in number, six turning out last Friday. Captain Kenyon has recovered entirely from his illness of last month, and is in fine shape, ready to don the mask at any time. Cunningham, who formerly caught Art Reynolds, is a won- der behind the bat. Hap Ward, the chunky little fullback, is a first-class catcher, and has handled Del Bissonette before. If he lives up to his reputation he and Bissonette will make an unbeat- able combination. King, formerly of Andover; Cronin, from Hingham (Mass.) High School, and Snell, of Springfield, are also out for the backstop position.

As the battery candidates were called out before the remainder of th? squad, their roster is full, but very few of the other members besides the veterans are known. Jack Flavin is trie only one left of the star 1920 infield, but there are nearly a dozen new men out. Jack will probably hold down his old berth at the hot corner, and there ought to be three good men from the other candidates to round out the inner defence.

The outfield has four veterans left, and any newcomers will have to step faste to displace Jimmie Sullivan, Bill Dudack, and John Walsh, who worked so well in the garden last year.

Manager Twohy has now practically completed his schedule, and it is much larger and more complete than the ten-

Meeting the stiffest opposition this sea- j son on the courts Georgetown continued j its winning streak last Thursday even- I ing, February 17th, by defeating the fast 1 Marietta College basketball quintet, J 29-21. Marietta came to Washington 1 with a big name for itself as a result of , many victories on the floor this winter. I Goergetown, however, was clearly the 1 better team, although forced to the limit j throughout the entire game to keep j ahead of the Ohioans. The game marked i the Hilltoppers' ninth straight win.

From a spectator's viewpoint the game J was probably the most exciting seen ] here in many a day. Both teams were at top speed throughout the entire game, and so clever and effective was the de- | fense of the two fives that all but two j or three of the field goals were spectac- 1 ular shots that brought the crowd to its i feet in cheers.

Captain Zazzali's usual brilliant floor- I work was very much in evidence and together with that of Flavin was re- ] sponsible for the greater part of the j Georgetown scoring. Florence had a j red letter day in the scoring column by j registering seven very pretty shots. j O'Connell's and Dudack's defense work saved the Hilltop basket on several oc- J casions.

Whiting, the big guard of the Marietta i five, starred for the visitors by scoring ', all of Marietta's eight points in the first j half and sinking five of them in the sec- 1 ond.

Florence began the scoring two min- I utes after the whistle when he caged a difficult one-hand shot over his head, backwards, directly under the goal. Zaz- !

zali followed up with two more points I when he broke loose and dribbled all the i way down the floor and dropped the 1 ball into the basket, while traveling at j full speed. Whiting got a foul for the 3 visitors and then tossed a long one into! the net.

At the six-minute mark Florence got J another pretty shot. Dudack threw one j into the net at a long distance and from ] the side, and in the meantime Flavin sunk two free tosses.

Florence got two more tallies before j the end of the period, both of them one-j hand throws after a follow-up on a long shot. Flavin and Whiting each j shot fouls and the half saw the score ; L5-8 with the Blue and Gray on the heavy end.

Within five seconds in the second half W. Neals got a clever short shot forj the visitors. Florence made up for this . with a long throw in front of the bas- ket. Dudack got a difficult one-hand shot, followed in quick order by another j from Flavin. W. Neale then sunk a long one almost half the distance of the!

"Some day Jimmy Connolly, of Woburn, who wears the colors of George- town, is going to take the measure of the big guns at the mile distance. His determination is sure to land him on top if he keeps plugging.

"Jimmy could have been missing from the Boston Mile at the Legion games as he had been laid up for four days with tonsilitis, but Jimmy simply couldn't be kept in bed. He wanted another crack at Joie Ray, of Chicago, and Hal Cutbill, the B. A. A. star, and the Woburn boy came mighty close to copping the honors.

"He upset the dope by finishing second to Ray after a gruelling fight down the stretch which left Cutbill gasping for breath. And when the Boston Mile was over, Jimmy hustled into his clothes and went home satisfied to take care of his illness. Mike Devaney suffered from tonsilitis and did not start, but not so with Jimmy. He is a fighter, pure and simple, and when he finished second his popularity was attested to by the applause of the crowd."-—Hurley, in Boston Record.

NOTES. During the week of Feb. 7th to 13th,

1921, the results of the firing in the N. R. A. match were used to decide the incompleted Drexel-Georgetown match, in which match Drexel claimed a vic- tory over Georgetown by eight points. By counting the five high scores in the N. R. A. match, the two teams tied with a score of 489 each, thus removing the apparent defeat from our record.

Next week, Feb. 20th-20th, George- town and Syracuse, now tied for second place, will shoot a dual match. Syra- cuse has an old, experienced team of excellent shots and it will require the Georgetown Rifle Club's best effort to defeat them. Syracuse was a runner-up in the intercollegiate matches last year. Norwich won the match.

court while Whiting got a free toss into the ring. Flavin tossed the ball into the net for two more points and Flor- ence, after a scramble around the net, pushed the leather through once more. The Ohioans came back strong in the next five minutes of this period, scoring eight consecutive points. Whiting start- ed things on a pretty shot from the side. W. Neale and Bullman each got goals as a result of clever teamwork. Whiting managed to put two more free tosses into the net, bringing the score to 25-21. On a long pass from Zazzali, Florence had little trouble in putting one into the cage. Two more foul shots by Flavin ended the scoring and the game.

YALE AND G. U. DEBATE MARCH 2nd

PHI ALPHA DELTA.

Subject Submitted Yesterday—To Be Same For Both Yale

And Princeton.

Among the most interesting events of early March will be debates with Yale and Princeton on the Second and fifth. They will be held in Gaston Hall, and are expected to create a great deal of interest .both among the students of the University, and the public in general, be- cause of the well-known standing of the visitors. The subject is to be the same in both debates, and was selected by Princeton. It is to be the policy of open or closed shop, and promises to furnish ample material for a lively en- counter. The question is one that is of the utmost interest at the present time, and one that will have a universal ap- peal. The Georgetown team is made up of John J. Darby, Edward J. Callahan, and John Jacobs, with Robert Wimsett as alternative. These men have been selected from a large number of candi- dates, and are well fitted in every way to uphold the laurels of Georgetown in the coming contests. A debate is being arranged with Harvard to take place some time later in the spring.

A very pleasant tea was held at the Phi Alpha Delta fraternity house imme- diately following the strenuous week of mid-year examinations and in the opin- ion o fall those present this was one of the most successful of the many and en- joyable affairs of this kind given by Taft Chapter.

Among the distinguished guests pres- ent were Chief Justice Constantine J. Smythe, of the District Court of Ap- peals; Prof. D. W. O'Donoughe and other prominent members of the fac- ulty.

Tea was served from 4 until 7 :30, and dancing was enjoyed to music rendered by a four-piece orchestra, which was ac- claimed by all to be equal to the occa- sion.

A formal dance is being planned by the chapter, and all are looking forward to March the 17th when the same is to- be held, and it is hoped that as usual the well-known P. A. D. spirit of good- fellowship will prevail.
