FATHER CONNELL VISITS HILLTOP

Prefect of Studies Pleased With New Courses Offered at Hill- top — Student Activities Are Also Commended.

During the past ten days the Hilltop has been honored by a visit from the Rev. Francis M. Connell, S.J. Father Con- nell is the present Prefect General of Studies in the Maryland-New York Province, and also the author of "A Study of Poetry," a textbook used in most Jesuit Colleges. He is here making his annual visit and inspection of aca- demic work.

Father Connell expressed himself as pleased with the progress in the line of studies, all branches being most satisfac- tory. The new courses in Juridical liter- ature and English recently introduced at Georgetown and not given in any of the other universities, received high commen- dation.

His attention was engaged not only with the regular class work, but also by extra curricula activities. This phase of a college education is maintained on a high scale at Georgetown and, as Father Connell is particularly interested in the self-expression and individual initiative so essential in student activities, he was more than gratified by such progress.

MASS IN DAHLGREN FOR DAY STUDENTS

Large Number Present in Spite of Inclement Weather—Fr. Din- neen Delivers Interesting Ser- mon—Violin Solos by Kenneth Nettles Add to Occasion.

The Day Students' Sodality met Sun- day morning, March 18th, at 9 o'clock Mass in Dahlgren Chapel. The cele- brant of the Mass was the Rev. Walter G. Summers, S.J., Regent of the Medical and Dental School. The acolytes were Mr. James Heiskell '30, Mr. Edwin W. Passarell '30, and Mr. John J. Bouvier '30. During the Mass, special musical numbers were provided by Brother Crough, S.J., at the organ, and Mr. Ken- neith Nettles '31, on the violin. This treat was unusual and very much en- joyed by all present.

The Reverend Director of the Sodality, Father Dinneen, S.J., spoke on the gos- pel of the day—the miraculous multipli- cation of the loaves and fishes and in par- ticular about the eflfects produced by the frequent and worthy reception of Holy Communion. He likened the spiritual re- fection of the soul in Holy Communion to the effect produced by material food in the body; since we must eat to live and since the soul is so much more important than the body it is evident how eager

KOBER LECTURER AT G. U. ON MARCH 27th

Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re- search, will be the Kober lecturer at Georgetown for this year. The dis- tinguished scientist, who was selected to give the lecture by the Association of American Physicians, will speak the evening of March 27 at 8 o'clock in Gaston Hall. The topic of the lec- ture was announced as "Obvious and Obscure Infections of the Central Nervous System."

Dr. Kober has provided the Medical School with an endowment, which makes possible such a lecture each year by some outstanding scientist.

Several selections taken from the Mi-Careme Concert will be rendered by the University Glee Club.

HOSPITAL WING OPENED FRIDAY

Formal Exercises Held in Honor of Important Event—Increased Facilities Add Much to the University's Hospital.

Washington's hospital facilities were increased by 100 patients' beds last Fri- day when the new $300,000 wing to the Georgetown University Hospital at Thirty-fifth and N Streets was put into operation.

Formal exercises, under the auspices of the Georgetown Medical School, of which the hospital is an integral part, were held Thursday afternoon in honor of the opening. After the exercises the new building, which represents the latest thing in hospital equipment, was thrown open to inspection.

The addition of the wing to the hos- pital unit was due to the increased de- mand for hospitalization by the rapidly growing community of West Washing- ton. Established 30 years ago, with only 20 beds, the support of that community has been a large factor in the growth of the institution to its present capacity of 450 beds.

Addresses were made by Rev. Charles W. Lyons, president of Georgetown Uni- versity ; Rev. Walter G. Summers, regent of the Medical and Dental departments, and Dr. George M. Kober, dean of the School of Medicine for the past 30 years. The speakers took this occasion to acknowledge the hospital's indebtedness to the sacrifices of the Sisters of St. Francis, who constitute its supervising staff, and the members of the medical profession of Washington, whose services have enabled the hospital to forge ahead without an adequate endowment.

Sister Donata, superintendent of the hospital, assisted in showing the visitors about the building. Aside from 40 pri- vate rooms with connecting baths and public wards for 60 patients, the wing provides quarters for the administrative forces of the hospital and additional space for the medical school and clinics.

GLEE CLUB PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE IN ANNUAL MI-CAREME CONCERT

Organization Will Entertain at Georgetown Prep and at Kober Lec- ture—Second Appearance in Gaston Hall Proves Most Successful of Season—Work of Collegians is Especially Commendable— Many Instrumental Solos Add Variety to Splendid Program.

Georgetown's Glee Club gave its fourth concert of the season, in Gaston Hall, last Sunday, March 18th. They were assisted in their efforts by that stellar orchestra, the Georgetown Collegians, and by many instrumental soloists. Mr. Frank Shuman played three numbers, Prelude in G Minor, by Rachmaninoff; Serenade, D Flat Major, and the Rustle of Spring, the latter two compositions by Sinding. Mr. Arthur P. Cannon was particularly effective in a rendition of "Miserere," from II Trovatorc, by Verdi, on his banjo. Mr. Raymond J. Woods gave as a trumpet solo, "The End of a Perfe'ct Day," by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, and, as an encore, "Mighty Lak' a Rose." The Glee Club's numbers were very well received and were warmly ap- plauded. Probably the peak of the entire evening was reached in the singing of "A Summer Lullaby," by Gibson. This number, together with "The Halls of Monte- zuma," and "Sea Fever," a musical arrangement of Masefield's famous poem, were repeated from the previous concert by request. The attendance at the concert, although

not quite up to the standard of the Mid- Winter Concert, was very gratifying. An encouraging omen was noted in the presence of so many college students. They were well rewarded by a highly en- joyable entertainment, especially the splendid work done by the Georgetown Collegians. All the selections played by these musicians were very well received. When, as an encore, they played our own "Blue and Gray," the applause was deaf- ening in every sense of the word. George- town can well be proud in the possession

CLASS OF '30 WILL STAGE MIL0 TRIAL

Sophomore Production Replaces Annual Academy—Trial to be Reenacted by A. B. Latin Classes.

An innovation will be introduced this year in the time-honored "Academy" that is conducted annually by the Sopho- more Latin Class. With the consent and cooperation of the Rev. Dean of the Col- lege, and assisted by an advisory board of six Sophomore students, Mr. Maloney, S.J.,' Professor of Latin, has decided to re-enact the murder trial of Milo in which Cicero delivered his famous speech, "Pro Milone." This speech is the subject of the Province examination for the Sopho- more Class in Latin, and has been dil- igently studied for the past two months.

The trial is to be reproduced on the stage in Gaston Hall on the morning of April 2nd. Rehearsals began on last Monday and excellent progress has been reported to date. Following the example of the Shakespearean productions in mod- ern dress, it has been decided to stage this ancient trial also in modern dress and to follow American court procedure. Acknowledgment is accorded John J. Powers, of the University Law School, who assisted in solving the intricate legal technicalities that confronted the pro- duction of the trial. Mr. Dumas, S.J., Moderator of the Mask and Bauble Club, is also lending his dramatic experience to insure the success of the affair.

The accounts of various Latin writers and modern commentators have been consulted to aid in the presentation of the trial. Assisted by this source of informa- tion as well as by the knowledge gleaned from Cicero's speech itself, the testimony of a number of witnesses has been writ- ten. The actors taking the part of Cicero and of the prosecuting counsel have writ- ten their speeches, which they will deliver after the examination of the witnesses. Many excellent passages are contained in the play, and are sure to hold the at- tention of everyone present until the

GASTON vs. WHITE DEBATE MAY 3rd

Junior Societies to Discuss the Newly Proposed Naval Pro- gram—McQuaid, Lynch, and Butler Compose White's Team —Gaston to Hold Tryouts To- night.

The annual debate of the Gaston and White Societies will be held on Thurs- day, May 3rd, in Gaston Hall. The ques- tion to be argued upon is, "Resolved, That the five-year naval Program should be adopted by Congress." White Society is to uphold the affirmative side while Gaston is to defend the negative.

White's team has already been picked, consisting of Bernard J. McQuaid, John F. Lynch, Jr., and J. Godfrey Butler, with John D. Reilly as alternate. Mr. Mc- Quaid was a member of the team that de- bated against Fordham University, while the other members are of recent acquire- ment. Gaston is to hold try-outs for its debating team tonight at 7:15 in Gaston Hall.

A number of the members of Gaston are eager to deliver speeches in the hope of having the honor to represent Gaston in the annual encounter.

White Society has won this yearly de- bate during the last two years, though Gaston was more consistent in winning until recently. The latter society is striving to make a comeback, while the

A MENTAL TONIC. What is the value of a college education? This question has been asked and

answered numberless times and in many various ways, but at least there seems to be a common agreement that a college education is to develop the student intellectually, morally, and physically. Due stress has been placed on the first two features, but a word for Georgetown students on the latter phase is certainly not out of place.

An all too vast majority of the students neglect the physical features of their educa- tion. We do not state, of course, that an intellectual and moral development has not the greatest claim to our attention, but we do state most emphatically that the student who takes little or no exercise is placing himself under a serious handicap both in his college days and particularly in later life. The older we become the more strikingly will the truth of this statement force itself upon us.

At Georgetown the lack of physical exercise among a number of students is par- ticularly noticeable. Walk along a corridor any afternoon you choose and you will see a surprisingly large number of students sitting around in their rooms smoking cigarette after cigarette as they read an ordinary magazine or a novel, or engaged in some equally unprofitable pastime. Such a habit will invariably ruin anyone's health. And not only that, but it affects their mental and moral development as well. We have all been taught the bad results of remaining indoors for too long a period, but some of us seem to think that it does not apply to college life. Get outside and take a peppy workout some afternoon and you have our guarantee that you will not only feel better physically, but you will be able to attack your studies with more vigor.

Sitting in a room filled with smoke all afternoon is bound to dull one's mental faculties. One's mind becomes so befogged that it is well-nigh impossible to con- centrate on the next day's class work. What is the natural reaction? You toss aside your books, light your pipe, and wander down the corridor. Mind, this is criticism; but it is constructive in every sense of the word. If it refers to you, it offers a solution of your problem. Devote half an hour to two hours every after- noon to some form of exercise and secure this third asset of physical development to round out your college education.

She ' &>tfered Jill" "THE GANG."

"Figures do not lie" is the principle upon which many an advocate of a new doc- trine—or a new tenet of an old doctrine—bases his assertions. Rival schools have coined an epigram that is felt to fill a long-standing need; they have refuted the bromide with the expression: "Figures can be made to prove anything." A resort to either one of the two may be expected in the course of investigations recently announced—that is, "the gang and the modern boy."

For such extensive investigations will soon be forthcoming if the gentlemen concerned with the matter follow out their plans. And it seems that these gentle- men constitute the playground commission of a northern city. Of course, it is not the assemblage of a playgroundful of youngsters that will supply them with their Exhibits A, B, and C. It is the gang that is familiar to everyone, we may venture to say, here at Georgetown. It is the band composed of "Tom and Spike and Red and Shorty" that gave all (or nearly all) of us our first taste of academic peripatetics, and gave not a few of the locality's solid citizens chronical cardial palpitations.

Certain preliminary investigations (should that be better termed observations?) have shown the gang spirit in the very-much-younger generation to have lessened considerably in the past ten years, we are informed. The part played in this lessen- ing by the influence of the modern community playground must be determined by the gentlemen who have undertaken the study of the subject. Why boys from the age of first independence of supervision to, roughly, fourteen, have neglected the limited gregariousness of the gang in recent years—there is a matter for deep consideration.

The gentlemen so employed will be obliged to consider one preliminary question, we believe. This question is: "Do boys ever neglect such a 'limited gregariousness'?" Surely such is never evidenced during the years which find young men in college. It is natural for characteristics of A to attract the companionship of B and C, while E turns from all three and seeks, as bosom companions, F and G. One can't very well arise at an assemblage of the entire college—or even one's own class—and declaim upon a matter that is of personal concern without causing as many personal reactions as there are groups, gangs, or cliques—call them by what name you will.

Concerning the playground as the class, the analogy becomes tenable when one sees the evidences of personal friendships in college. And the playground analogy is best applied (with no desire to assume paternalism) to an incoming freshman class at any college. Freshman rules are instituted for a purpose: that the class may discard sec- tional adherences. Organization of the class into one distinct, yet compact, body, is the task of the first weeks of the school year. Such organization often serves to remove one obstruction in the way of the formation of friendships amongst groups. And is not "group" something of a synonym for "gang"? No matter what the investigations prove, the "gang" we have always with us.

NOTED AS LINGUIST

Jesuit is Making Minute Study of Meteorology—Will Prepare for Future Work at Manillian Ob- servatory.

Down through the ages there has existed a thing known as etiquette. In the dark ages, if you had planned a tea dance and discovered that the tea was all gone, the proper etiquette would be not to put a damper on the boys' fun but start a nice sociable inquisition. Nowadays, with the advent of bridge, we find that it is proper etiquette to shuffle off this mortal coil if you possess a hand with thirteen trumps. (Of course it would have been better to shuffle the cards in the first place, but, if you were a gentleman, and you got such a hand, you would have to act your part and don the pine overcoat.)

But recently a gentleman did not observe the rule, and consequently suffered for his ill manners by being ostracized by society. In fact, he was shot. He had thirteen trumps and in the first play he had to trump his partner's ace. This worthy came from that region where men are men and tables have elbows on them, and promptly delivered the contents of one Iver Johnson into the starched bosom of the trumper.

Moral: Either drop dead when you get thirteen trumps or carry the conventional life-saving pack of cards inside your shirt.

Three guesses, the last two don't count.

***** We think that we have discovered a story that Horatio Alger evidently over-

looked. Although we had resolved not to deal in personalities we were sure that you would recognize who this was, so we'll let it out of the bag. The title would be, From Thespian to Leatherpusher, or Bound to Rise (after the count of 10). Georgetown's own Lon Chaney. The man of a 1000 paces, all within a 24-foot square. Old Horatio could have made a great story out of this youth's history. A great diver, he had a natural inclination for boxing, and he pro- ceeded to incline. One week he played the role of a matinee idol, while giddy stenographers ate sticky candy in the balcony and dreamt dreams^ in which he was the hero who knocked in the door just as the villain said, "Give me the mortgage, or I'll tear up the baby." The next week, he climbed into a 24-foot ring while a hairy gorilla sat and smacked his lips.

We all thought that he was worrying about approaching old age, and intended to get his face lifted last week, but he fooled us all by coming home with the old story, "You ought to see the other guy."

***** What a funny thing this "raspberry" is. We don't mean the poor relation of the

strawberry, but the more or less gentle kidding that is often handed out to well- meaning people. In this age of democracy, this is the favorite fruit of some people, especially sport writers. There is an English boxer, called Shuffling Phil Scott, who has come to this country with the avowed purpose of trading punches with the star- spangled leatherpushers. Our heavyweights are pretty wily traders, and Phil seems destined to hurt the back of his head. But the point is, the minute the news was out that Scott was on his way, the sport writers immediately started to devour huge quantities of raisins, and irony fairly dripped from their typewriters. One writer labeled Scott as being a member of the H. H. of G. B. (horizontal heavyweights of Great Britain), and for him to be in a vertical position at the end of a bout would cost him his membership. They all quoted the dire results that would follow when Mr. Scott climbed through the ropes, and secretly wagered that he would not be able to spin on his shoulder blades the first time. We wonder how Mr. Scott must feel about all this, but we know very well how he is going to feel later on. (We had to use that last expression unless we wanted to break one of the unwritten laws of American journalism.) *****

Sh—! Sh—! By the way, they say that athletics teach a man to take a beating with a smile. If

that is the case, we know somebody that laughed out loud all last Friday night.

***** We went to a movie the other day and the picture made us stop and think. (We

say that despite the fact that we are well aware that some local boy will smart up and say, "Oh, you went to the miracle play.") The picture was one of a series that has recently been let loose on the defenseless theater-going public of America. The name of this series is "The Collegians." To quote the words of the incomparable Joseph Porter, we have never before seen "such a conglomeration of poppycock If we were to judge colleges by those pictures, "Why send my boy to college?" would

i become one of the infinite number of foolish questions. The only thing that we can judge from these pictures is that Frank Merriwell, and the Rollo boys, must have played on the Intramural League in their respective schools.

Look Ye! Look Ye! To whom it may concern: This is to certify that I had nothing to do with the

many outrages that have, of late, been perpetrated on the cramums of some students of this university. I wish to state that I am a tonsonal artist of the old school, and if putting a bowl on the heads of my clients was good enough for my ancestors, it is good enough for me. This new-fangled idea of saucer haircuts is just another proof which shows that the followers of Higher Pan- theism will stop at nothing to attain their end. I have always been opposed to Higher Pantheism, because my ancestors wore knickers, so they are good enough for me. I am a friend of the common people, and they can always be sure I will not scalp them.

Tonsorially yours, WHAT OF IT?

Father Paul Carasig, S.J., of the Phil- ippine Islands, attracted by the advan- tages of Georgetown and by those of Washington in general, has returned to stay here for the next few months to continue his study of meteorology. Father Carasig received his training at Wood- stock where he was also ordained.

In October, 1927, he left Georgetown for Cuba to study the tropical hurricanes, which are very numerous in that vicinity and which are very much akin to the typhoons of the Philippine Islands in formations, tracks, and in other peculiar- ities. After four months' study in Cuba, Fr. Carasig returned to Georgetown on March 2nd.

During the next few months he will continue his work in Washington, placing particular stress on the study of the methods employed by the United States Weather Bureau. The methods of stand- ardizing the reports of the more modern instruments with those of another na- ture presents many intricate problems to the meteorologist. In this respect Father Carasig has consulted with the local of- ficials. Upon the completion of his work in Washington, the Jesuit scientist will go abroad to make a study of the meth- ods now in use in Europe.

Father Carasig is preparing for his life work at the Jesuit Observatory at Manila, which is affiliated with the Philippine government. Two other Jesuit scientists are to be associated with Fr. Carasig and are at present studying in this country. They are Father Depperman, S.J., who is to have charge of the astronomical de- partment at the Manillian Observatory, and Father Rapetti, S.J., who will head the seismological bureau.

PROVINCE EXAMS WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 30th

Sophomore and Freshman Classes to Undergo Annual Latin Quiz —Both Sections Will Hold Ex- hibitions in Gaston Hall.

He Has Had a Career of Great Interest—Formerly Tutor to Grandchildren of Emperor of Austria-Hungary, Francis Josef.

On March 30th, the A.B. sections of the Freshman and Sophomore classes will undergo the annual Province exam- inations in Latin. These tests are com- posed yearly by Father Connell, S.J., Pre- fect General of Studies for the Maryland- New York Province, and are intended to stir up a friendly rivalry between the colleges and to increase the interest of the students in the study of Latin. These competitive examinations bear an inti- mate relationship to the whole system of Jesuit training and have been praised by many scholars ranking high in the world of education.

The Freshman course in the liberal arts places the greatest emphasis on poetry, and so it is only natural that the Odes of Horace should serve for the subject matter of their test. In the sec- ond year particular stress is placed on the art of public speaking and debat- ing, and consequently Cicero's well-ar- gued speech, "Pro Milone," has been se- lected as the subject of the Sophomore examinations.

Needless to say, Georgetown has ranked high in the past with regard to these Province examinations, and it is the duty of the two younger classes to uphold the college standing and even to rival that of past years. A victory in such contests cannot but serve to increase the reputation of Georgetown as an edu- cational center. Stressing the point that

During the past year the Modern Language Department of the Georgetown College Undergraduate School and the History Department of the Graduate School have had the services of Doctor Tibor Kerrekes. The few details from his career which we present here will serve to show the wide experience and knowledge of the languages, peoples, and conditions of Europe which fit him so pre-eminently for his position.

Doctor Kerrekes obtained his A.B. de- gree at the University of Budapest, from which university he later received his Ph.D. His LL.B. came from the Uni- versity of Vienna.

At the outbreak of the World War he saw service on the Serbian front, holding the command of second lieutenant. In 1915 he was wounded and recalled from the line.

The seven years from 1915 to 1922 were spent as the private tutor of the grand- children of the Emperor of Austria- Hungary, Francis Josef. In 1916 the old emperior died and it was Doctor Ker- rekes' good fortune that he was present at the deathbed on the following day. There amid his officers, unnoticed by the world, lay the last of the direct line of Hapsburgs, the emperor whose long reign from 1848 had been filled with the great events of the period and whose life had been saddened by the mysterious fate which seemed to be pursuing the mem- bers of his household.

Shortly after Doctor Kerrekes' arrival in the United States he married. He has one child, a girl.

From the latter part of 1922, when he arrived in America, until 1924, he was af- filiated with Columbia University, and teaching privately. During this time he was also engaged in translating Euro- pean plays for various publishers.

FO'CASTLE CLUB HAS ITS ANNUAL BANQUET

Many High Officials Speak at Gathering of Unique Organiza- tion—Recitation of Sea Poems Makes Pleasant Impression.

The Fo'Castle Club held Its annual spring banquet on Friday evening, March 16th, at the New Madrillon. The club was fortunate in obtaining as principal speaker, Mr. Andrew Furuseth, who is president of the International Seamen's Union, and delegate to each conference of the League of Nations. Senator H. Shipstead, of Minnesota, a member of the club, also addressed the club. Mr. George de la Barra, Charge d'Affafres at the Bolivian Legation, and Dr. T. H. Healy, Assistant Dean of the School of Foreign Service, were also guests of the club.

The members responsible for the suc- cess of the banquet are: Mr. Frank Ben- nett, chairman; Mr. W. Watts, Mr. J. Harding, Mr. P. Neff, Mr. R. Weaver,

Members of the club entertained by re- citing old sea poems and speaking.

The club is unique as college clubs go, in that membership is limited to those who have served in some capacity as sea- men. Members must have traveled a minimum of 10,000 nautical miles and have in their possession honorable dis- charges from merchant vessels.

The purpose of the ciub is to fur- ther the idea of Foreign Service work. It is also strongly in favor of a large American merchant marine. The mem- bers from practical experience have seen the necessity of a large fleet.

SPRINGFIELD GAME MONDAY OPENS HILLTOPPERS' DIAMOND SCHEDULE WHICH CONTINUES THROUGH EASTER VACATION AGAINST EAST'S BEST NINES

Massachusetts Team Played Here Last Year—Bucknell Comes After a Year's Absence—Ver- mont is Played After Six Years.

Springfield is the only one of next week's baseball opponents that George- town played last season. The teachers' college played here in the second gamje of the 1927 season, but have been given the honor of raising the 1928 curtain. They have supplanted Temple University in this matter, though the Philadelphians have not been dropped from the schedule. They will play here on May 7.

Georgetown scored its first victory of the 1927 season over Springfield by a 3 to 2 score after a hard-fought battle. Springfield promises to be just as strong this year, and two hard battles are looked for. It is reported that Erickson, who gave Frank Gillespie a hard battle on the mound last year, has graduated, but it is also reported that Springfield will bring south a capable pitching staff.

Bucknell, which comes to Georgetown two days after the second Springfield game, will be met for the first time in two years. In the opening game of the 1926 season, the Pennsylvanians took the short end of a 6 to 5 score. They will be out to take revenge for that defeat as well as for the 34 to 29 beating they re- ceived in basketball during the past sea- son.

Reports from Lewisburg indicate that the Bucknellians will be represented by their usual strong team and will be pre- pared to give the Hilltoppers a hard fight.

Baseball relations with the University of Vermont will be resumed after a lapse of six years. The Vermonters will open their season with the game against Georgetown. They have been practicing in their indoor cage for over a month and will be represented by a veteran nine. Coach Dresser expects Vermont to put out one of the strongest teams that have worn the colors of the university in many years.

BILL DOWDING MADE COACH AT MARYLAND U.

Will Handle Field Men—Won Three Intercollegiate Titles While on G. U. Team—Joins Two Former Hilltoppers on Terrapin Coaching Staff.

William A. ("Bill") Dowding, George- town's leading broad jumper of the past three seasons, has been signed as assist- ant track coach at the University of Maryland. He will have charge of de- veloping the field men at College Park.

Dowding, who graduated last June, was a three-time intercollegiate broad- jump champion. His greatest year was in 1926. In that year he won the cham- pionship at both the indoor and outdoor meetings of the I. C. 4-A. Bill is the holder of the indoor broad jump record at 23 feet 1 inch. He is also a sprinter of no mean ability, being a member of the Illinois A. C. relay team which holds the world's record for the 1%-mile relay.

Dowding is the third former George- town man to be appointed to a coaching position at Maryland. Both H. C. Byrd, the Athletic Director, and "Chief" Beatty, the coach of the Old Liners' lacrosse team, were at one time Hilltop students. Neither of the latter two, however, was graduated from Georgetown, both trans- ferring elsewhere to complete their studies.

Four Contests Carded for Each of Next Two Weeks — Easter Week Will Contain a Game Per Day—One Double-Header Slated.

The baseball team, which opens its schedule Monday afternoon against Springfield College, will carry on at a rapid pace until the end of the Easter holidays. An average of nearly five games a week will be played during these three weeks. This is a much stiffer aver- age than a college baseball team usually cares to tackle.

The season will open with Springfield on Monday, and the Massachusetts col- legians will remain over for another game the following day. Then follows a two- day rest, after which come two more games in a row. Bucknell is the attrac- tion for Friday, closely followed by Ver- mont.

The following week will witness four more games. After resting for the first two days of the week, Coach Kopf's men stack up against Lafayette. The follow- ing day, Colgate, a newcomer to the schedule, visits 'Varsity Field. The next day is Good Friday, with no game. But Holy Saturday will witness a double- header. In the morning, Penn State will be met, while Boston College will be the invader in the afternoon contest.

Easter week will present the stiffest portion of the schedule with the possible exception of the Northern trip at the end of the season. Each day of that week the Blue and Gray nine will have to meet one of the strongest college nines in the East, winding up on Saturday with their old hoodoo, Holy Cross. Yale, Syracuse, Fordham, Princeton, Harvard and Holy Cross will be met in rapid succession.

After the Easter rush, the volume of games will decrease slightly, only three games being played the following week. Richmond, Mt. St. Mary's and another opponent, with whom arrangements have not yet been completed, will all try to haul down the Blue and Gray banner that week.

TRACK MEN FEATURE AT NEW YORK MEET

Adelman Puts Shot 48 Feet 4 Inches to Lead Field—Hoctor a Close Second to Gibson in 500-Yard Run.

Georgetown's indoor track season was definitely closed on March 14 at the Manhattan College Games in New York by Dave Adelman and Eddie Hoctor. The former took first place in the handi- cap shot put, and Hoctor finished second in the 500-yard invitation.

Putting the shot from scratch and al- lowing his opponents generous handi- caps, Dave Adelman outclassed the field with a winning put of 48 feet 4 inches. He was nearly a foot ahead of the sec- ond man, whose actual put was less than 44 feet. Adelman's toss was four inches short of his intercollegiate record of 43 feet 8 inches.

Hoctor, running a race somewhat longer than his usual 440 yards, was sec- ond by an eyelash to Johnny Gibson, former Fordham star and now with the Bloomfield Lyceum. Hoctor and Gibson matched stride for stride all through the race, but Gibson had a little more left at the tape. The winning time was 59 3-5 seconds, while Hoctor was less than a fifth of a second behind.

Captain Gillespie or Burch Will Pitch With Phelan Behind the Bat—Infield Appears Practical- ly Picked, But Outfield Will Be in Doubt Until Game Time.

With the opening game against Spring- field, as near as Monday, Coach Kopf has been working his charges daily to ascertain his first nine. Due to inclement weather several days were lost, but the boys are enthusiastically making up for lost time. Slowly, but surely, the team is moulding itself into shape. With only twenty-five men remaining out of the huge squad that reported for the initial "try-out," Coach Kopf can more easily de- vote his time to the individual needs of the fittest men.

Although the starting line-up has not yet been announced for the opening en- counter with Springfield on Monday, judging from their performances, the battery will no doubt consist of Tom Phelan, veteran catcher, on the receiving end, with either Captain Gillespie or Pete Burch on the mound. In the infield there will probably be Ralph Graham at first, "Bucky" O'Neil at second, and Bob Nork at the third sack, with Johnny Dunn hold- ing down a berth as shotstop. The most difficult task on hand is to determine the "gardeners." There are several outfield- ers of sterling ability and experience. Foremost are Phil McLean, Ralph

The first four baseball games, against Springfield, Bucknell and Vermont, will start at 3:30 P. M. Starting with the Lafayette game, all of the contests through the Easter vacation will begin at 3:00 P. M. Starting with the Richmond game, April 17, the starting time will again be 3:30 for all games ex- cept the Penn A. C. game, on May j 19, which will begin at 3:00.

McCarthy, Frank Odium, Creth Hines and Tom Glenn. They are all men of good judgment and are threats at the bat. With nine men chosen from the afore- mentioned players, Coach Kopf will pre- sent a formidable array. The mettle of each of these men has been tested and they all are satisfactory. Their batting powers are something to be reckoned with.

As a matter of fact, Coach Kopf has such a select group of men on his squad that no matter what nine men are chosen they will constitute a threat in collegiate ranks.

The "make-shift" nines which have been playing practice games daily have worked with splendid co-ordination, cool and calculative minds. With an en- thusiastic crowd on hand to witness the throwing of the first ball by President Charles W. Lyons, S.J., the current sea- son will go into full swing on the 16th at 3:30 P. M.

It is a formidable Blue and Gray array that goes forth on the diamond to start on their victorious path.

Two more former Georgetown play- ers have apparently clinched regular positions with a major league club. Both Ty Tyson and Del Bissonette are in the regular line-up of the Brooklyn Dodgers in their exhibtion games. Tyson is playing center field, and is the lead-off man. while Bisson- ette is playing first base, and is bat- ting in the "clean-up" position.

Tyson is a major league veteran, and was formerly a regular with the Giants. Last season he led the Inter- national League batters. Bissonette led the same league in home runs last year. This is his third trial with the Dodgers.

G. U. BOXERS SHUT OUT AT INTERCOLLEGIATES

Five Subs on Local Team Ac- count for Mediocre Showing— Sours, Hines and Tierney Put Up Game Fights and Threaten to Win.

The Hilltop boxing team fared rather poorly at the intercollegiates, held last Saturday at the Palestra of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. Not one of the Georgetown men got by the first fight. Undoubtedly this showing was due to the fact that there was but one "regular" who was boxing. The Hilltoppers best bets, Hagerty and Murphy, were crippled. Murphy with a broken thumb and Hag- erty sick with the "flu."

Charlie Fish and McCarthy were also kept out of the competition by reason of their being freshmen. Davis, another regular, was absent because of illness, and Schlafly, the promising heavy-weight, was out because of a severe gash over the eye, received in the fight at Annapolis the week before. So, when it is con- sidered that the team was severely handi- capped, the team did not fare so badly. Bobby Sours, the lone regular, put up a beautiful scrap, which went an extra round. Apparently he had the bout cinched, but the judges thought other- wise, and he lost the decision.

Due to the illness of Hagerty we had no representative in the 129-pound class; however, Leo McCormack, in the 135- pound class, gave a beautiful exhibition of intestinal fortitude. Far from being in condition, and considerably lighter than his opponent, he was outclassed and lost on a technical knock-out in the second round.

Danaher, substituting for Murphy in the 145-pound class, fought well, but showed lack of conditioning. Tierney, taking Fish's place, proved exceptionally good. It was a wonderful fight, and both men were groggy at the finish. Again lack of conditioning proved our downfall.

Hines, our versatile athlete, donned the fighting togs for a night. Fortunately, though, he has had more success.on the diamond, gridiron, and track than in the ring. Although be lost on a technical knock-out it was one of the best bouts of the evening.

Claude Grigsby, last year's football captain, made a last-minute substitution for Schlafly, and considering the long lay-off, he did remarkably well. He lost on a decision at the end of three rounds.

PLAIN SHADE SWEATER SETS

According to Bill Rowan, '29, the solid colored sweaters and golf hose to match, in green, brown, yellow, blue, black and white, at Grosner's, 1325 F St., are the leading style this spring.

G. Harris "Doc" White and William Watt have been designated as the umpires at all of the home games. White will call 'em from behind the plate and Watt will make the decisions on the bases. "Doc" White made himself famous as R pitcher on the Chicago White Sox, and, what is not generally known, was at one time a member of the Georgetown baseball team, graduat- ing from the Hilltop in 1900. He is at present Director of Athletics in the Washington high schools. Both White and Watt officiated at many of the Hilltoppers' games last spring.

THE HOYA

HOYAGRAMS By JOHN D. O'REILLY, JR., '28

VERSATILE ATHLETES ON BLUE AND GRAY NINE

The baseball team of 1928 gives promise of being one of the greatest teams turned out at the Hilltop in many years. Every position appears to be well cared for. The pitching department, the big weakness in the past few years, finally begins to look like some of the great Georgetown pitching staffs of days gone by. There are at least three first-class hurlers, each ready to take his regular turn in the box, and a half dozen more, only a degree or so beneath the leading trio. With a little experience, some of the half dozen may make the leading trio of a quartet or even a quintet.

***** The infield will present the toughest assignment for Coach Larry Kopf. The

difficulty will not be the lack of material about which the college coaches are usually crabbing, but rather a superfluity of material, some of which must be kept on the bench. Ralph Graham appears to be reasonably sure of holding down first base for the fourth year, but the other positions are all in doubt. While Bucky O'Neil and Bob Nork are veterans at second and third, it is not certain that both will be at those posts in Monday's game

***** Jack Dunn has been regarded as the leading candidate for shortstop, but he,

too, is not sure of a regular job. Bill Smith is equally proficient at any of the infield positions, and must be considered as a possibility at any one of the posts. And Tom Glenn has been called in from the outfield and has made a favorable impression on Coach Kopf as a second baseman. No matter who is picked for infield positions in the opening game, tluy will have to hustle all season, for at the slightest let-up, there will be tivo capable men ready to jump in and fill the hole.

***** The outfield presents only a slightly less intricate problem. Including Glenn, there

are five letter men among the gardeners now on the squad. Phil McLean appears in for another regular post in left field, but the occupants of the other two posts are still undecided. Ralph Duplin and Ralph McCarthy are fighting it out in center, with a possibility that Tom Glenn may yet be returned to the outer works, while Creth Hines and Frank Odium are waging a merry battle for right field honors.

***** Whatever the starting line-up may be, it will be an ever-threatening menace to

opposing pitchers. In fact, the Blue a>id Gray promises to be an ever harder- hitting aggregation than last year's team. Holy Cross, Harvard, Yale, and a few others can testify to the potency of the Hilltop batters in 1927, when a seemingly lost cause was retrieved many times by desperate rallies with the bludgeon.

Georgetown has been considered to have a great advantage over most of her early season opponents in that the mild weather of the South permitted the locals to get out and practice far ahead of the schools situated in more frigid climes. But the wretched weather of the past two weeks has set that advantage at naught and has handicapped the Hilltoppers greatly. They have been unable to practice a great many days, what with rain, snow and mud, while their op- ponents, most of whom are equipped with indoor cages, have been able, figura- tively, to thumb their noses at the Hon. J. Pluvius.

***** Fame will always claim her own. It was thought last December that Claude

Grigsby, who, it may be remembered, captained the football team and was a leading candidate for Ail-American honors, would be kept out of the limelight for the re- mainder of his college days. But, as in the tale of Mahomet and the mountain, the spotlight perforce falls upon Grigsby.

***** When the Georgetown boxing team went to the Intercollegiates last week,

Fred Schlafly's physician forbade him to go, and the team was without a heavy- weight. There was no substitute on the boxing squad, and it looked as though the Georgetown team would have to default the bout. The situation was saved by the same Claude Grigsby, who was the idol of the football fans last fall. Grigsby, who, in his four years at Georgetown, had never undergone any of the special training and preparation the boxer must have, who had done little boxing in his life and none that measured up to the intercollegiate standard.

*****

Grigsby obeyed the call of Alma Mater and took a beating for his pains. What makes his deed greater is that he knew beforehand that the best he could expect was a beating. Outweighed by every heavy-weight at the tournament, out- skilled by the least skillful of his opponents, and not in tip-top condition for foot- ball, to say nothing of boxing, Grigsby gave an exhibition of courage and self- sacrifice that makes possible the retention of our ideals. Hats off to Claude Grigsby, and if this column may step out of its impersonality, allow us to say that we are glad and proud to claim Claude Grigsby as a classmate.

College ^alk Haverford College is the only institution in the country which still supports cricket

as an organized sport. *****

The average age for freshmen at the University of West Virginia is nineteen. *****

Dean S. W. Reaves, of the University of Oklahoma, declared that outside work is not an impetus to superior scholarship, but a handicap. Sixty per cent of the students there are self-supporting and their occupations range from waiting on tables to selling fish.

***** Princeton has granted unlimited lecture cuts to all seniors, except those under

discipline.

Nork, the Only 3-Letter Man at the University, Plays Third— Many Other Players Also With Football, Basketball and Box- ing Teams.

Athletes who participated in several fields of sports with the marked success of achieving letters in each of them can be compared to the gentleman with the ace of diamonds up his sleeve. They are bound to prove dangerous opponents. Among the candidates for the Blue and Gray baseball team this year are eleven such players who possess enviable rec- ords in the lines of endeavor other than that of clouting the horsehide over Var- sity field.

Holding forth in this class is Frank Gillespie, a veteran of three years' Var- sity experience. Besides being one of the best hurlers on the baseball squad and Captain of the Blue and Gray nine for the coming season, Gillespie cut quite a figure on the gridiron as well. "Three-point Gill" as he is known to his team-mates, by reason of his uncanny ability to boot long-range drop-kicks with hair-breadth accuracy, saw service on the '26 eleven twice during the season, when he was called in at the crucial moment to deliver the goods in the shape of three substantial pointers to fatten the score.

Bobby Nork, who has held down and covered third base on the 'Varsity nine for the past two seasons with air-tight glove work, claims the unparalleled dis- tinction among his team-mates of being the only three-letter man on the squad. His record in basketball and football reads somewhat like the figures on an in- come tax report. As captain of the bas- ketball team "Bobbie" was the leading scorer for two years. In the range of football he rated as the second high scorer in the East. His ball-carrying ability often merited the praise of his coach, and the notice of the leading Eastern sport eds. while he possesses a deft right arm, that, by its powerful long- range passes has accounted for many a touchdown.

Few flies to left field ever escape the vigilant glove of Phil McLean. Few opposing backs ever progressed any fur- ther than Phil's position of defensive half on the elevens of '26 and '27. Phil first disclosed his timely aggressiveness and stellar ability to the field of fans at the Davis Elkins game last year. Since then he has been the proud possessor of a berth on the squad with a 'Varsity "G" attached. McLean has had two years of 'Varsity experience with the Blue and Gray batsmen and if his past record indicates anything, it will be nec- essary to move the 'Varsity field fence back some few feet when he swings a war club, if a pitcher's feelings are to receive any consideration in the matter.

Next in line comes Bucky O'Neil, who, for three years in a row has pounded the bases of the Georgetown diamond in a first string role. Last fall Bucky donned the football togs and took his place in the backfield for his second 'Varsity year. He knows football in the same way as an author may know his own book, for O'Neil has helped to make football history at Georgetown, not to mention

his numberless drop and placement kicks that marked him as one of most valuable members of the squad.

Last year, at Philadelphia, Creth Hines threw the javelin for a distance of 205 feet 7 5/8 inches, which was far enough to make him the Intercollegiate javelin champion and record holder. He casts the same spell over baseballs, and they behave accordingly, whether they come from his hand or the bat. Last year was also his first on the 'Varsity outfield. Creth also wore the Blue and Gray silks in the intercollegiate boxing tournament last week!

Steve Barabas, it appears, has his eye peeled for the position behind the bat. Steve was a member of last and this year's football squad, holding forth in the position of 'Varsity fullback until his ac- tivities were curtailed by a fractured leg, sustained during the Syracuse game.

Ralph Duplin and Tom Glenn, 'Varsity outfielders and veterans of one campaign, have also sought other spheres of sports to exercise their talents. Ralph did some very good work as second-string back last season, getting into a number of games and proving himself capable of delivering the goods. Tom Glenn has held down a second-string place on the basketball quintet for the past two years.

Jack Dunn and Jack Byrnes are another pair who have shown not little versatility in athletics. Both men received the 'Var- sity "G" for basketball last season, and both are now out for the baseball in- signia. Dunn has not before had a chance to win the baseball award, as this is his first season with the team. His chances, however, are very good. Byrnes has been with the squad one season as a pitcher, but was not in the charmed circle last

PHILODEMIC ARGUES ARMED INTERVENTION

Members Again Discuss Interest- ing Phase of America's Foreign Policy—Team Secures Addi- tional Data for Coming Debate.

The weekly meeting of the Philodemic Society was held last Tuesday night in the Philodemic Room. The coming de- bate with Lafayette, which is to be held within the next few weeks, was dis- cussed by the members.

The meeting, however, was mainly taken up by a debate, "Resolved, That the United States Government should re- fuse to protect with armed forces Amer- ican investments abroad." The affirma- tive side was upheld by Messrs. Bernard Maloney and James O'Donnell. Mr. Ed- ward Maguire and Mr. Charles Maloney argued for the negative side. This sub- ject is the same that the Philodemic So- ciety debated with and defeated New York University.

SEISMOLOGY MAY YET FORETELL WEATHER

Father Tondorf Discusses Possi- bilities of Knowing of Storms by Machine Recordings in In- terview by Representative of Washington Star.

A new method of weather forecasting, within a limited range, may result from observed behavior of the latest type of seismograph, such as one of those in use at Georgetown University, so delicate that it can record a movement in the crust of the earth one-twentieth the width of a pin head, according to Father Ton- dorf, director of the local observatory.

Sometimes, Father Tondorf explained, examination of the record sheets in the morning will show the paper covered with fine lines which have no connection with earthquakes but are the result of slight movements set up in the crust of the earth by disturbances in the ocean which are transmitted against precipitous shore cliffs.

Low Pressure Results

Low pressure areas over the sea pro- duce these results, Father Tondorf said, acting much in the same fashion as a stick immersed vertically in the water and then drawn out again, drawing water up with it. Unfortunately, most of the At- omic Coast of the United States slopes

in o the water so that there is preciable result.

The coast of the Gulf of Mexico, how- ever, is precipitous and it is low pressure areas originating over that body of water which are recorded by the fine markings on the seismograph in Washington. Thus storms coming from that direction some- times can be forecast in Washington days before the Weather Bureau has any meteorological data upon which to base a forecast.

Recent Storm an Example

The storm which visited Washington March 11, Father Tondorf said, was an example of this. Its coming was indi- cated on the seismograph two days be- fore it was officially forecast. The method is still too indefinite and uncer- tain to come into official use, but a con- stant check is being kept at Georgetown and other seismological observatories throughout the United States in an effort to work out a possible technique of storm prediction.

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN MEDICAL STAFF

Dr. Vaughn is Elected Vice- President of Executive Faculty —Dr. Barton is Named Chief of Medical Staff—Children's Den- tal Clinic Will be Established.

Two important changes in the medi- cal faculty of Georgetown University were announced Saturday by the Rev. Walter G. Summers, S.J., Regent of the Dental and Medical Departments.

The first change is the election of Dr. George Tully Vaughn as vice-president of the Executive Faculty, the other being the appointment of Dr. Wilfred M. Bar- ton as Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Medical Staff. Dr. Barton suc- ceeds in the position vacated by the re- cent death of Dr. Samuel S. Adams, who had served half a century on the Medi- cal Faculty at Georgetown.

Veteran Faculty Members Both physicians are among the oldest

members of the faculty in point of serv- ice. Dr. Vaughn has been Chief of the Surgical Staff of the Georgetown Univer- sity Hospital since its founding, in 1898, besides being on the staff of teachers. Dr. Barton has been connected with the Medical School for 32 years.

Children's Dental Clinic With the opening of the new hospital

wing last Thursday, announcement was made that a children's dental clinic will be put in operation in about two weeks. Dental examination and attention will be made possible for any child under the careful supervision of members of the Dental School Faculty. The new clinic is in line with the policy of the hos- pital to extend its public health and wel- fare service which has meant so much to the community which it serves.

WHITTINGTON WINS IN LAW SCHOOL DEBATE

Senior from Illinois is Eligible for Finals—Louis Whitestone is Holder of Second Place.

William Vallie Whittington, '28, of Illinois, was the winner of the third prize debate at the School of Law, and thereby is eligible for participation in the final contest to decide the championship of the school debaters. Second place in the contest went to Louis Leo White- stone, '28, of Virginia.

The debate was on the question, "Re- solved, That a Federal compulsory in- surance act is desirable legislation," and the negative side won the verdict. Mr. Whittington was a member of the win- ning team also, his associates being Rob- ert Emmett Coyle, '28, of New York, and John Joseph O'Connor, '31, of the District of Columbia. The members of the affirmative team, in addition to Mr. Whitestone, were Albert Donald Hollo- ran, '28, of California, and Parnell Thomas Quinn, '28, of Nebraska.

GEORGETOWN BAND ANNOUNCES PLANS

Three Trips Slated for 1928 Foot- ball Season—Well Prepared to Assist Local Army Unit in Spring Inspections.

The band is working hard for future reviews of the R. O. T. C, which will be of great importance to the local unit. The presence of the band has often been commented upon by various officers in- specting the R. O. T. C. Mr. Little out- lined to the band members the new plans for next year's football season. He wishes to enlarge the band and make it an even more prominent organization than it was this year.

Success in the past year opens up a wide field for the introduction of many more novelties in the band's program at the football games. Not only has the band been praised for its playing at the football games, but it is held in high es- teem as a R. O. T. C. unit. In one letter, the competent way in which its military duties were carried out was stated as one of the reasons why Georgetown is rated as a distinguished unit.

At the present time it is planned to take three trips with the football team next fall. One is to Albany at the George- town-Carnegie game, and two are to New York at the New York University and Fordham games.

COLONEL DEEMS INSPECTS RAYMOND HEISKELL

Final Examination is Given Unit to Decide Eligibility for the Distinguished College Inspec- tion—Company A Wins Com- petitive Drill — Raymond H. Heiskell Receives Permanent Appointment as Battalion Com- mander.

Colonel Clarence Deems, Field Artil- lery officer and officer in charge of R. O. T. C. affairs of the Third Corps Area, paid a second visit of inspection to the Georgetown Unit this afternoon. The Colonel made a brief but thorough ex- amination on the practical work of the Cadets during the regular outside drill period at 2:30.

After watching the Battalion stage a review, the inspecting officer passed from company to company, noting the way in which the cadets executed their drills, the condition of their uniforms and the gen- eral appearance of the individuals. At several points in the process of the com- pany maneuvers, Colonel Deems called a halt to the drill and questioned the cadet officers and the men in ranks.

Colonel Deems' decision and judgment of the worth of the Georgetown Unit and its standing as a School of Military Sci- ence will determine whether the Unit will be inspected by the representatives of the War Department as aspirants to a Distinguished College ranking.

Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Raymond H. Heiskell was appointed to the position of Battalion Commander of the Unit, the appointment being effective last Thursday. This announcement was the culmination of the weekly tryouts in which each senior cadet officer was placed in command of the Battalion for the period of a week. The members of the Military Faculty acted as judges of the ability of each of- ficer in the executive capacity. As a re- sult of this careful comparison, Cadet Colonel Heiskell was selected for the permanent appointment to the highest cadet office in the Battalion.

With the appointment of the Lieutenant Colonel of the Battalion a permanent company roster was compiled which will be effective for the remainder of the

semester. The officers assigned to Com- pany A are: Captain William C. O'Neill, Commanding Officer; 1st Lieutenant J. V. Taggart, 1st Lieutenant J. F. Thaetc, 2nd Lieutenant J. P. Cahill, 2nd Lieu- tenant F. K. Shuman.

Company B will be directed by the fol- lowing officers: Captain Ralph O. Stau- ber, Commanding Officer; 1st-Lieutenant E. J. Corbett, 1st Lieutenant T. M. Ca- hill, 2nd Lieutenant J. F. Drozz, 2nd Lieutenant R. A. Mathers and 2nd Lieu- tenant T. O. Murray.

Captain John T. McKeon succeeds Lieutenant Colonel Heiskell as Command- ing Officer of Company C. The other officers to be assigned to this company are 1st Lieutenant J. R. Heiskell, 1st Lieutenant J. T. Gallager, 2nd Lieutenant W. I'. Lyon, 2nd Lieutenant D. F. Mc- Namara, 2nd Lieutenant R. D. Benzing, and 2nd Lieutenant T. S. Cooney (at- tached).

The following officers compose the ros- ter of Company D: Gerald J. Greeve, Commanding Officer; 1st Lieutenant R. H. Christie, 1st Lieutenant R. T. Hughes, 2nd Lieutenant B. C. Dwyer, 2nd Lieu- tenant F. F. Moran and 2nd Lieutenant J. H. Wagenbach.

Captain Donald H. Olmstead received the appointment of Commanding Officer of Company E. Assisting him will be 1st Lieutenant W. P. Buckner, 1st Lieu- tenant A. B. Eben, 2nd Lieutenant W. J. Ward and 2nd Lieutenant J. A. Gleason.

Company A, Commanded by Captain William C. O'Neill, won the weekly com- petitive company drill last Thursday with an average of 88.327 points. Second place was attached by Company B with 86.87 points to their credit. They were followed closely by Company. E, whose mark totaled at 86.81. Company C also came close to tying Companies B and C for third honors with an average of 86.09 points. The lowest mark of the week fell to Company D, although they were but three points below the leaders. They were given a grade of 85.31 points.

It was remarked by the inspecting of- ficers that the system of weekly competi- tive company drills is bearing fruit and that there has been a marked improve- ment in the execution of drills and dress by individual companies since the inau- guration of the present program several weeks ago.

The averages of the companies for the semester are: Company B, 85.88; Com- pany C, 85.517; Company A, 85.386; Company D, 83.97, and Company E, 83.8.

MIDDIES 0UTSH00T G. U. RIFLEMEN

Navy is Outpointed at Prone Position but Comes to the Fore in the Kneeling and Standing— Western Maryland Match to Close Season for Rifleteers.

E. W. GOLSEN, '26, MARRIED LAST MONTH

Eugene W. Golsen, a member of the College, Class of 1926, was married on February 25, to Mrs. Florence Cullen Ostermayer. Mrs. Golsen is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Cullen, of Washington. The ceremony was per- formed at St. Aloysius' Church.

Golsen was a prominent member of the football team during his college days. He was a substitute center, and was awarded his Varsity "G" in the fall of 1925.

Taking the lead in the shooting from the prone position by 4 points, the George- town rifle team failed to meet with equal success in the kneeling and standing po- sitions, suffering defeat at the hands of the Navy rifleteers by a score of Navy 1,345 to Georgetown's 1,256. The match was fired in the Armory of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The results of the firing from the kneeling position gave the Midshipmen a 7-point lead over the Blue and Gray representatives. It was thought at this point that the Georgetown Nimrods would come through with a win- ning total from the score of the standing position, this being considered a strong point of the local team in the past. How- ever, Georgetown's score at this position proved to be one of the worst turned out by them this season and gave the Sailors a clean and decisive win.

Thomas Cahill, captain of the George- town rifle team, fired the best score of

the day for his team. He was outpointed only by Tolley of Navy, who rolled up a total of 273 points to Cahill's 271.

In a telegraph match with Clemson and Syracuse the Georgetown team compiled a score of 3,426 points, which shows a noticeable improvement over the work of the team in the past two weeks. Their opponents in these matches have not been heard from.

Telegraph matches with Cornell, Ver- mont and Johns Hopkins are scheduled for this week. A shoulder-to-shoulder match with Western Maryland next Sat- urday will bring to a close a very suc- cessful season for the team. This match is to be fired in the Georgetown Armory.

PROHIBITION AGAIN DEBATED BY WHITE

Should the United States Adopt Canada's Liquor System is Question of Debate—Increased Interest in Society is Praised by Moderator.

The White Debating Society held its usual meeting on Wednesday evening, March 21. The debate for the evening was upon the question, "Resolved, That the United States should adopt the sys- tem now in use in Canada in regard to alcoholic beverages."

The affirmative was presented by Messrs. Keller and . Higgins. Messrs. O'Donnell and Doherty ably defended the negative. The nature of the subject was in itself sufficient to create interest be- cause it has been the object of much con- troversy for the past half year. Due to the fact that the debate had been sched- uled for a previous meeting the two teams had ample opportunity to obtain all matter possible pertaining to their various sides. As a result the speeches were very well prepared and all conceiv- able agreements upon the question were used.

The recently organized "night clubs" have taken their toll of the society's mem- bers, but in spite of this fact there was a sufficient number of the debaters present to bring forth many views when the sub- ject was thrown open to the floor.

No further business being brought for- ward the meeting adjourned. It is a noticeable fact and one that had drawn favorable comment from both the Mod- erator and the president that the past several meetings of the society have been most successful due to an awakened in- terest on the part of the members. It is hoped that this will continue in order that every meeting from now until the end of the year will be of assistance in improving the knowledge, ideas, and styles of delivery of each member of White.

LAFAYETTE TO BE MET BY PHILODEMIC

Georgetown to Meet Lafayette on March 31st—Local Team Un- changed—The Subject Will be the Same as That of the New York University Debate.

Georgetown's second intercollegiate de- bate of the season will be held on the 31st of this month, a Saturday night. On this night Lafayette University will be our guest and the subject, while differ- ently worded, will be essentially the same as the one in the New York University debate of a few weeks ago. On that oc- casion the subject was: "Resolved, That the United States should refuse to pro- tect with armed forces American in- vestments abroad," and Georgetown up- held the negative side, as it will in the coming debate.

The team which will meet Lafayette is the same as the one which defeated New York University, the members being Mr. James P. Quinn, Jr., '29, of Missouri; Mr. Joseph E. Green, '28, of Iowa; and Mr. Leo McGuire, '28, of the District of Columbia. The chairman and the judges of the coming debate will be an- nounced in the near future.

This is not Georgetown's first debate with Lafayette, for in 1916 we defeated them in a dual debate, while in 1921 we won one debate in another dual debate. The excellent New York University de- bate, held here a short time ago, demon- strated the ability of our team, and a large crowd should attend the coming debate.

GASTON DEBATES D. C. TRANSIT MERGER

Many Debaters to Strive for Honor of Representing So- ciety—Hanlon Chosen Best Speaker of Open Forum.

Due to the illness of Mr. Nuttal, S.J., the meeting of the Gaston Debating So- ciety was held without the presence of a Moderator. Nevertheless, a very busi- ness-like meeting was enjoyed. An open forum on the question, "Resolved, That Congress should sanction the consolida- tion of the Washington Transit Com- panies," led by Mr. Bernard Hanlon, for the negative, and Mr. Harold Clements, for the affirmative, was discussed pro and con by the members.

The speeches of Messrs. Hanlon and Clements, both Sophomores, were both lucid and well-delivered. Mr. Hanlon was chosen the best extemporaneous speaker of the evening, and the side ably upheld by him, the negative, was voted as the winner by a close margin.

In the absence of the Moderator, Messrs. Hogan and J. Brunini were del- egated by President Perlitz to act as critics of the evening. They both clearly and concisely pointed out the few defects of the speakers.

The tryouts for the Gaston Debating team will be held tonight in Gaston Hall at 7:15. The judges will be Jesuit mem- bers of the faculty, who have not as yet been selected.' The society is desirous of having a large number of its mem- bers try out for the team. The trial speeches will be of three-minutes' length. In the annual Gaston-White debate, Gas- ton has the negative side of the question: Resolved, That the Five-year Naval Pro- gram should be adopted by Congress.

DOMESDAY BOOKE GOES TO PRINTER

Annual Expected to be on Cam- pus by May 1st—Subscription Campaign Closed — Editorial Work Practically Completed.

At the last meeting of the editorial board of the Domesday Booke, the final make-up of the volume was decided. This practically completes all the work on the book. All but a few of the edi- torials have been handed in, and the re- maining few are expected shortly. The business staff has closed its campaign for subscriptions and no more volumes are obtainable.

Due to the splendid efforts of the staff in general the book will be on the Cam- pus about the first of May. "Ye Cracke o'Dome," a feature of last year's work, will reappear this year, under the capable direction of Mr. Joseph Porter, '28.

It is expected that this year's Domes- day Booke will be the best ever, and nothing has been left undone to assure its

SOCIETE FRANCAISE ORGANIZED IN F. S. S.

Professor Labat Lends Support to New Student Organization— Officers Are Elected at Initial Meeting.

Shortly before the close of the First semester, the students of the Second Year Morning Class of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, realizing the importance of a conversational knowledge of French to anyone contemplating For- eign Service, appointed a committee to consider ways and means for the forma- tion of a French club. The "Societe Francaise" was the result of a meeting of this committee held at the home of Prof. Jean J. Labat, Head of the Mod- ern Language Department of George- town University, whose advice and en- couragement were largely responsible for the establishment of the society. The

First Year Class of the School imme- diately sponsored the idea also, and two highly successful meetings have already been held, which would indicate that the "Societe" is filling a need which has been felt for some time by the Morn- ing Students.

Membership in the club, which is en- tirely a student affair, is open to all stu- dents attending the Morning Classes at the Foreign Service School, and the ob- ject of its organization is, of course, to supplement regular class-room work by means of its bi-monthly meetings at which conversation is carried on in French on topics of current interest. The general policy of the "Societe Francaise" will be to have a number of the French faculty present at each meeting, and it hopes in the near future to hold a ban- quet at a French restaurant in town, at which it will have present as its guests, officials of the school and others.

The officers elected for the coming year are: Leo P. Hogan, President; Joseph F. Santoiana, Vice-President; Samuel R. Sallick, Treasurer; William Perricelli, Secretary.

All the different subjects were very interesting and a very large crowd was on hand. The subjects were fully cov- ered in the few reels shown of each and in the case of Abrasives it showed every step in detail as was the case in "A Story of Dynamite." This meeting was well attended and enjoyed by all.

FREE—The Little Braeburn Red Book

What Every College Man Should Know!

Come in today or tomorrow, or any old time, for a copy of the 1928 edition of the

Braeburn Book

A book full of vivid facts and statistics that answers with ease questions that perplex even the faculty.

Besides leaving space for the present size of your hat, and the motor number of your car, it contains such valuable data as one would expect to find in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or the New York World Almanac. About

thirty pages are left for important names and addresses, such as one keeps in red books. The alphabetical classification of good numbers alone is worth the price of admission, which in your particular case is nothing.

These books are now in the Frat House. Simply come in and ask one of the salesmen for your copy.

We even give them to Freshmen.

There is no joke—-not even a little one. Only we reserve the right to ask you if you do not care to look over the Braeburn University Clothes for Spring. They are very smart. You

don't have to look at them if you don't want to, but we believe you will, because college men seldom fail to give good numbers the once over.

GLEE CLUB PLEASES AUDIENCE (Continued from page i)

■of one of the finest college bands in the East.

Arthur Cannon's banjo solo also brought demand for an encore, and he gracefully acceded to popular request. Another splendid solo effort was that of Mr. Raymond J. Woods, who played two selections on his trumpet. Mr. Francis K. Shuman also played several delightful numbers on the piano.

The Glee Club will give a special invi- tation concert at the Georgetown Prep- aratory School on Saturday, March 24. The program for this concert is certain to be a splendid one, since it will be com- posed of the most popular selections from the two concerts. Following this, the Glee Club will once more make its ap- pearance at the Kober Lecture, to be held in Gaston Hall on Tuesday evening, March 27th. The Georgetown Collegians -will assist the Glee Club in both of these appearances.

It is believed that these concerts will close the most successful musical season the club has enjoyed in recent years. All concerts were extremely well attended and the work of the club has attracted much favorable notice from musical critics. The Collegians, too, as well as Mr. Shuman, deserve great credit in making this the club's most successful season in several years.

MASS FOR DAY STUDENTS {Continued from page i)

each one should be to share as often as possible in this spiritual union with our Saviour.

After Mass a buffet breakfast was served on the first floor of the Healy Building, and was very much enjoyed by all. After breakfast, through the cour- tesy of Reverend Father Lyons, S.J., Father Dinneen was able to distribute copies of the "Jesuit Missions" to all present.

The weather was very inclement, and snow, hail, and slush greeted all Sun-

day morning, but in spite of all the wiles of the weather, there was an unusually large attendance. Many members of the sodality live a distance from Dahlgren Chapel, but were not in the least daunted by the bad weather. Father Dinneen wishes to compliment and thank the mem- bers for their fine showing Sunday morn- ing, and hopes they will all continue to come to the Sodality meetings. This was the last meeting before the Easter vacation.

The cast has been chosen entirely from the Sophomore A.B. Classes, and will be exclusively a Georgetown production, as it is written, directed, and acted by Georgetown talent. A number of copies of the play have been made, and will, no doubt, assist in similar productions in the future, both at Georgetown and at other Jesuit colleges.

STUDENT SODADITY HAS WEEKLY SERVICES

Father Dinneen Gives Appro- priate Talk on Devotion to St. Joseph—Also Urges Members to be Faithful in Attendance.

The Resident Students' Sodality held its regular weekly meeting at 6:20 on Tuesday evening. Father Dinneen, S.J., the Moderator of the Sodality, spoke about the devotion to St. Joseph. He em- phasized the fact that St. Joseph has an especial appreciation, being the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the foster- father of our Lord.

Attention is called to the members who desire to be formally admitted in May; that admission depends upon faithful at- tendance during the year. The attend- ance has been excellent every week, but the Reverend Moderator wishes to re- mind those who have been lax or have let the matter slip their minds.

DR. KERREKES IS NOTED LINGUIST (Continued from page 3)

About this period his interest turned to colonization projects and for the next few years, until he became a member of the staff of Georgetown professors, he was in Florida. At present he is the owner of an orange grove in that state.

During the present summer Doctor Kerrekes intends to teach at the summer session of Fordham University in New York. He will continue, however, to maintain his connections with George- town.

In addition to his academic work he has been making a survey of the economic conditions, college life, and the sports of the nation. These are communicated to the various European newspapers with which he has maintained connections.

the students can render in this manner a great service to their college, the pro- fessors have insisted that the standing in the Province examinations depends es- sentially upon individual effort and ac- cordingly have urged each member to do his share and insure Georgetown's suc- cess.

To increase the interest of the students in Latin, the Freshman professors have decided to hold a Horace Academy in Gaston Hall. This exhibition, which won such high praise last term, will be con- ducted by members of the Freshman Class and will include essays on the various authors and Latin classics studied dur- ing the course of the entire year. The authors include Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Livy, and Plailtus. The Sophomores will portray the trial of Milo instead of the usual academy, this play being fully treated in another article of this issue.
