"FOOTBALL TEA" AT MAYFLOWER

Dance in Garden Room of Hotel Mayflower Saturday Afternoon —Testimonial Gold Footballs to Be Awarded Blue and Gray Team.

The Football Tea-Dance, to be held this Saturday, January 20th, afternoon, will be the first social function of the year 1928 for Georgetown. As is only fitting, the opening of the social season for the new calendar year will mark the observance of a dance of more than merely class or club significance—it will be an occasion on which the entire Uni- versity may join in the tribute to the victorious football team of 1927.

At this dance formal presentation will be made to the Blue and Gray gridiron warriors of gold footballs as a testimonial of regard for the services rendered Georgetown. Support of the tea-dance will be a direct support of the plan to make this fitting recognition of the Blue and Gray Varsity.

The dansant will be held in the Gar- den Room of the Hotel Mayflower, and will run from 4 until 7 o'clock. This will mark the first Georgetown function of the present scholastic year to be held at the famous hostelry on Connecticut Avenue. Music will be furnished by Frank Shuman's Orchestra. Subscrip- tion will be $3 per couple, tion will be $3 per couple. The commit- tee is composed of Jack Powers, Philip Cahill and "Ding" Dussault.

"TYROS", NEW DRAMATIC CLUB, TO PRODUCE FIVE PLAYS IN GASTON

Newly Organized Freshman Branch of Mask and Bauble to Make Debut—Directed by Senior Members.

The "Tyros," the newly-organized Freshman Dramatic Society, sponsored by Mr. Dumas, S.J., will render its first presentation February 9th in Gaston Hall. Richard Hungerford has been appointed chairman of the society. This will be the first of the many presentations which the society intends to give during the coming season. The success of the so- ciety already seems assured because of the large number who answered the call for try-outs.

The destiny of the society is under the capable direction of the veteran members of the Mask and Bauble Club. Their first performance will consist of a varied program of !> one-act plays. The music will be rendered by the Freshman Or- chestra. Several vocal selections will also be offered between the acts.

The plays are: "Caught with the Goods," under the direction of W. O'Neill. The cast consists of P. Monaghan, E. Hanley. "The Road to Connaught," directed by Francis Moran. The cast: Gerard McAllister, Miles O'Brien, E. Feighan. "The Prairie Judgment," directed by W. Ward. Cast consists of W. Dennis, John C. Hayes, Charles Chapman, and Caldwell Key-

ser, "Jethro," directed by John Thaete. The cast includes Frank Delaney, Walter Gibbons, Richard Hungerford, Desmond Murrie. "Two Crooks and a Lady," di- rected by Paul Lyons. The cast: Oliver Rcid, Hubert Foley, Albert Trimpert, Donald Kissinger and Edward Hooks.

The business committee consists of John McGeary, Robert Sweeney, Law- rence Mehren, Robert Snakard and Pat- rick Lancaster.

The selection committee is comprised of Richard Hungerford, Desmond Mur- rie, and John C. Hayes.

The "between the acts committee" com- prises Dennis Regan, Thomas Higgins, Frank Power, and John Liddy.

The stage crew consists of T. Foley, Armand Jones, Leslie Brennan, John O'Conhell, and Robert Connolly.

The reception committee is to be ap- pointed during the week. The different parts have already been assigned, and necessary changes will be made when di- rectors see fit.

This is the first time the Freshman Class will have its own entertainment, and judging by the enthusiasm shown, the affair promises to be a huge success.

Philosophy Professor and Author Was a Favorite at the College —Had Been at Georgetown for Nine Years.

The Rev. Francis X. Doyle, professor of philosophy at the College, died last Saturday at the University Hospital. He had been ill since November and the com- plications resulting in his death started from heart disease. Father Doyle was nationally known as a writer of Catholic books.

The late professor was born in Phila- delphia in 1886. He attended St. Joseph's College and entered the Society of Jesus in 1904. Father Doyle studied at St. Andrew-on-th'e-Hudson and at Woodstock College before his ordination in 1919 by Cardinal Gibbons. He was ordained at Georgetown. Before coming to George- town, he was a professor at Brooklyn College and at Boston College.

Father Doyle was recognized in the Jesuit Order as a brilliant teacher and was widely known by his writings. At the College he taught philosophy, apolo- getics, Latin and Greek. His latest book, "A Defense of the Catholic Church," re- ceived wide recognition throughout the country. Other books from his pen are "The Home World," "The Home Virtues" and "The Wonderful Sacrament." He lectured extensively and was also the au- thor of a volume of poems.

Father Doyle was Chaplain of the Good Shepherd Convent and conducted many religious retreats throughout the east. He is survived by his father, John Doyle; three brothers, William, Edward and Joseph, all of Philadelphia; and a sister who is a member of the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus at Sharon Hill, Pa.

The faculty and students attended the burial. Services were held in Dahlgren Chapel and interment was in the college cemetery.

FIRST GLEE CLUB CONCERT FEB. 19

Three Sacred Hymns Being Studied — Great Progress Is Reported — "Collegians" Reor- ganize.

The Glee Club is fast rounding into form for its opening concert in February the 19th. Faithful practice and the keen spirit of its members are rapidly smooth- ing the rough spots. An excellent pro- gram can be assuredly predicted. The club has added three songs to its reper- toire, all of them Latin. The first, "At- tende, Domine," a Lenten chant, is Gre- gorian; the second is from the Office of Holy Week, "Responsorium," by da Palestrina, and the third, arranged by Donovan, "Ave Verum." It is also in- teresting to note that the Collegians, Georgetown's premier orchestra, has been reorganized, and will appear on the 19th in conjunction with the Glee Club.

FATHER DOYLE, 1886-1928

That impressive ceremony—a Jesuit burial—took place last/Monday and in the hallowed grounds of the simple cemetery now repose the remains of the Reverend

Francis X. Doyle, S.J. The late professor spent the last nine years of his life here on the Hilltop and in

that time was a favorite with the students. The junior philosophy classes of each year knew him better than did the other students, but all at Georgetown knew of Father Doyle's amiable qualities and cheery greeting to everyone.

Several excellent books have come from the pen of Father Doyle and through them he has gained national recognition as a writer of Catholic volumes and as an authority on Apologetics. His courses in philosophy were of the best and he was rated high in the Order as a teacher. His former students look back with happy thoughts at

the days spent with him in the classroom. He gave his life for the education of Catholic youth, and it is doubtless that he

passed to a happy eternity. Twenty-four years claimed Father Doyle as a Jesuit. He was ordained at Georgetown and has now breathed his last in the same place where nine years ago he received Holy Orders from the late Cardinal Gibbons.

Father Doyle leaves behind him a life of service and good deeds, together with the cherished memories of Georgetown men. That such a brilliant career should be cut short at a comparatively early age is to be regretted, but our late companion filled his obligations well and we are fortunate that he was not taken before now. It is the association with men of his type that made a course at Georgetown an interesting one; and it is memories of his type that make Georgetown dearer in years to come.

The HOYA voices the sentiment of the entire University—faculty and students—in

extending sympathy to Father Doyle's dear ones. R. 1. P.

She "Entered Jflll" COLLEGIATE LITERATI AND A RENAISSANCE

The concentration of Georgetown's three publications—weekly, literary magazine, and annual of the graduating class—in one "Publications Room" has had its advantages. In place of the formal distance at which the quarters of our "scholarly elder brother, the Georgetown College Journal, kept themselves from the old sanctum of the HOYA,

the changing of the old order has brought about a sharing of the same room. And there, too, is the office of Ye Domesday Booke.

One advantage that this system offers is the opportunity for cooperation of all three staffs when occasion demands. The staff of Ye Doomesday Booke frequently comes into possession of news items that are most welcome to the weekly newspaper—our- self, to be specific. In this regard we are like the crew<of Gilbert and Sullivan's ship "Pinafore": ". i . exceedingly polite, and we think it only right to return the com- pliment." People do wish to hear of ye Booke and to note its plans and progress before the spring months see its actual return from the printer's. And numerous other points might be indicated on which cooperation is possible between College Jurnal and HOYA.

But one new feature has attended this consolidation of offices. Each of the trio of publications receive exchanges—even Ye Domesday Booke has a few splendid pub- lications of our brother colleges on its editorial desk—and the literary magazines and newspapers of many American (and not a few foreign) universities and colleges are freely exchanged between members of both Journal and HOYA staffs.

It was as a result of reading over a few of the magazines to which we have such ready access this year that we were inclined to consider an opinion of our own confirmed—namely, that the sun of literary magazines in the American college is in eclipse. Firstly, there has been a noticeable decline in interest in writing for them. Again there has been a proportionate decline in reading of them—the College Journal's exchanges have also pointed out the fact that many an issue seems to have been pub- lished merely to contribute to the waste paper supply.

We do not gather that this means a preference on the part of the college man for his school's newspaper—and thus the only material, personal motive we might have for rejoicing in the misfortune of our literary contemporaries is renounced. Personally, however, we are glad that we can state in all truthfulness that we are anything but pleased at such a state of affairs; labor for a newspaper should foster, rather than dis- courage, a love of literary effort—if not the efforts on the part of the toiler on Grub Street himself, at least those of others. And we searched for explanations of the present state of affairs in the world of college "Lits."

Both features of the decline seem best answered by pointing to the mere increase in numbers of the channels for expression of college thought in the past ten years— the appearance of the "humorous magazine," the many special publications, and the great increase in the number of college weeklies and dailies, the chief raison d'etre of these last being, of course, the chronicling of news of interest to undergraduates and alumni. Interest of both reading and writing student is thus deflected from the "Lit"— which was not so when the monthly (or even quarterly) magazine was the sole organ of the college.

A college literary magazine recognized as unsurpassed in its field—the Boston College Stylus—states editorially in a recent issue that "if the Stylus today has any friends in the collegiate world, it is due to the tireless work of no more than three men"—speaking only of the literary aspect of the case. The Stylus has one friend and ardent admirer in the person of ourself, and this confession came as a surprise to us. The Stylus presents at least as attractive appearance as any college publica- tion we have seen—unlike the Nassau Literary Magazine of Princeton it does not cloak its pages in a cover that seems contemporaneous with the World's Fair of 1890. And the contents of the "Nassau Lils" that we have scanned have proven worthy indeed of a far more attractive clothing. It is true that one should never judge a book by its cover, but there is equally a strong case against overlooking an opportunity of attracting a perusal of a book's contents with a pleasing binding.

In the face of these items for thought, one may well turn to our own College Journal, and note with pleasure the evidence of a renaissance. With the issue of the January number of the Georgetown literary magazine it became apparent that the College Journal has definitely disproven the conclusion of "College literary magazines will never come back to their old place of eminence" which might rashly have been drawn from a consideration of the lowering of standard and lack of interest that has been the lot of such magazines. The College Journal has, so far this year, disproven these charges. Never before, we have been told, has such a wealth of copy, voluntarily contributed, been available; the excellence of the matter appearing in the Journal this year has been attested to by numerous letters of favorable comment. And on this fact we can also safely base our assertion that the Georgetown literary magazine is being read. In the face of such comments, the Journal should be assured of increasing reading-with-interest on the part of the student body; anything demanding attention cannot for long be ignored.

We have had quite a bit to say on the question of college literary magazines in general and the question of the Gcorgctomi College Journal in particular, it seems. And so, perhaps, we should make a contribution to the College Journal, in the form of a bit of constructive criticism which we trust will be considered. We respectfully suggest that the example of conducting a prize contest for one-act plays not be allowed to go unobserved during this year; in fostering such a contest the College Journal of 1926-27 left a tradition which, it seems to us, it would be a pity to disregard.

HORACE A. HERLIHY

FR. TONDORF SPEAKS BEFORE SCIENTISTS

PEP RALLY.

Hard times are upon us. The woolen mills aren't making wool, the cotton mills aren't making cotton, the windmills aren't—well, anyway, hard times are upon us. We are approaching a time when, if we don't watch out, there will be an eclipse of the son.

Did you notice the dark clouds that have been gathering above the school? Yes? Well, those aren't black clouds, those are the shadows of the mid-year examinations.

You don't have to buy a book entitled: "What every boy should know," in order to be aware of the fact that there comes a time in the life of every young man when he must stand on his own feet (who is the smart aleck that mentioned Tea-dances?) and fight his own battles. To paraphrase the words of the im- mortal Patrick Henry: "Our chains are forged, you can hear them clanking plainly in the Cloister. Why stand we here idle" and all that sort of thing.

Now is our chance to show the world in general, and our teachers in par- ticular, just how much we know. (Loud applause.) Let us show them that their seeds of learning have fallen on fertile soil and that they don't have to whip us to make us smart.

Remember the old doughnut slogan,—a man may be drowned before he knows what it's about—we mean, a man may be down, but he's never out.

So let's all get together and push 'em up. (Sustained applause while the band plays "The Stars and Stripes Forever.")

We are now firmly convinced that the squirrels of Washington are rather lax in their duty. Sunday afternoon on F Street we were in the act of scratch- ing a match on one of those little boxes when a well-dressed youth, looking perfectly normal rushes up and asked whether we would be willing to trade our box of matches for a new box. Of course we immediately began to think that the bacteria must be working in Denmark, but after examining the box and seeing that it was not lined with gold leaf, we traded. Then this gentleman explained that he was saving match boxes, and that we had a specimen that he did not possess. It is indeed a pity that the disease has gone so far, be- cause he had the appearance of a likely looking chappie, as they say in England, and certain parts of North Dakota.

We went to visit a dentist during the vacation, and as dentists' offices all over the world look the same, we will tell you the things that impressed us the most, and you will agree that you feel the same way about the thing. First, as we stood outside, we tried hard to convince ourselves that if we waited just a little longer, the toothache would disappear, but Allah, Christian Science, and Coue failed to bring about the desired effect so we entered.

Secondly, as soon as we entered the chamber the toothache miraculously dis- appeared, but we blamed it onto environment and sat down. We picked up a magazine and soon found out that the American people should not countenance the sinking of the Lusitania, and that President Wilson was right when he was contemplating declaring the United States to be in a state of war with Germany. Just then a voice sounded from the other room saying: "Ugh, Ugh, Wah, Ouch, What the—Hey," so we looked up at a picture on the wall and thought that the 1893 graduating class from Tuft's Dental School was a cold blooded looking group.

Soon we were on the chair listening to the dentist make feeble jokes in response to which we smiled still more feebly. He then said: "Open wide," which we did. Result—one incisor staring us in the face. We then paid the individual and left the room with our tongue still exploring a canyon that had suddenly opened wide at about the same time that our mouth opened wide. Moral—if you haven't got anything to say or eat keep your mouth closed.

***** There is a person who stalks through these sacred halls who is to be more

dreaded than an empty purse at prom time. He is a person who comes like a thief in the night and you know not the day nor the hour when he shall be upon you. The Assyrian who came down like a wolf on the fold was a piker alongside of this individual. You may close yourself up in your room or you may flee to the highest peak, but he will hound you once he gets the scent. But there is nothing that can be done, like the poor, he is always with us. And let this be a sign unto you, when you hear a voice say: "Have you got a cigarette," you know that he is about to strike.

• Weekly Fairy Tale

Three months ago my ego was completely submerged. At every dance I was the wallflower. Then one night at a dance given by the I Tappa Keg Eraternity, one of the boys said, "I bet you a box of cigars that you are afraid to go on for a dance." I blushed, but my pride carried me onto the floor, and soon I was dancing on the cutest feet you've ever seen. When the dance was half over, my partner suggested that we sit out the remainder, and I felt sure that she was going to tell me what an awful dancer I was. But imagine my surprise when she said, "Where did you get it?"

Director of Georgetown's Seismo- logical Laboratory Reads Paper on the Bearing of Seismology on Meterological Forecasting— Also Addresses Mendel Club of Loyola College.

On Monday night, the ninth of January, at the Board room of the District Build- ing in Washington, Father Tondorf read a paper on the Bearing of Seismology on Meteorological Forecasting. This pa- per was discussed afterwards for an hour by the officers of the Signal Corps. There were one hundred officers present.

Since there are so many airplanes in use today, it is only too apparent that advancement in the understanding of weather conditions, both at the point of departure and along the line of route to the destination, is very important.

Then, too, Friday night, the thirteenth of January at Loyola College, Evergreen, Baltimore Father Tondorf delivered an address to the members of the Mendel Club and their friends. This was on earthquake and their registration.

LYONS EXCELLENT IN CHARACTER PORTRAYAL

Will Begin Activities Anew in Title Role of "Allison's Lad"— Is Four - Year Veteran of Georgetown Thespians.

Resuming our little series of reviews of the members of the Mask and Bauble Club, we present as the first character this year Paul Lyons.

He entered Georgetown from All Hal- lows Prep in New York. With the ex- perience gained from four years' partici- pation in dramatics he found a position with the Mask and Bauble soon offered to him. As the French Countess in "It Pays to Advertise," he gave indications of the high type of character presentation and general sympathy with his role which he has displayed in the past three years. Sophomore year found him engaged in the role of Monsieur Beaucaire in the play of the same name. However, due to being suddenly called away from school, he took no part in its presentation. Two plays, "The Ten Pound Look" and the "Game of Chess," called him once more to the stage in his third year at George- town. It was in the latter of these two plays that he achieved what was probably his greatest success in college dramatics. His portrayal of the Russian Count won the applause and admiration of the audi- ence and brought very favorable comment from the judges of the evening.

An opportunity will be granted to all to see Paul Lyons this year when the Mask and Bauble presents "Allison's Lad," in which we find him to be again in the title role.

With a winning personality, a ready adaptation to his character and his pre- vious great experience behind the foot- lights, we shall all await with eagerness the appearance of this talented Thespian.

SODALISTS PLAN FOR SPRING RECEPTION

Appeal from Jesuit Fathers in Philippine Islands Is Read at Day Students' Meeting—Regu- lar Services Held Tuesday.

Last Sunday morning the Day Scholars had their regular monthly meeting. The Mass was said by the Reverend Father Summers. After the Mass their was an address to the assembled members by the Director of the Sodality. Leaflets were distributed to those present, requesting books, both text and reading. This ap- peal comes from the Jesuit Fathers in the Philippine Islands who have charge of the Ateneo de Manila. Leaflets were also distributed during the week to the resi- dent students requesting that they also aid in this worthy work.

The Acolytes at the Mass were John Bouvier, '30; John Breslin, '30, and Wil- liam Passarelli, '30. A very large at- tendance was most gratefully noted by the Director. After the meeting breakfast was served in lower Healy.

The regular meeting of the Sodality was held on Tuesday evening at 6:20. At this meeting the Director explained that reception into the Sodality at the solemn reception in Spring depended entirely upon the faithful attendance of the can- didates.

RUTGERS LOSES, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY WINS, 1928 BASEBALL CARD AS HILLTOP BASKETBALLSEASON GETS UNDER WAY MAY SETG^U. RECORD

Home Team Leads Rutgers All the Way—N. Y. U. Trails Most of Game, but a Last Half Rally Gives Them Victory—Team Looks Good, Both in Victory and Defeat.

The basketball season was inaugurated with a pair of games that was a fitting open- ing in every respect. The strong Rutgers team from New Brunswick was the first opponent on the new home court, the Arcadia, and was also the victim of the first victory, by the score of 42 to 31. The N. Y. U. team was the succeeding visitor, and also the first successful opponent, by the score of 33 to 87. .

The new regime both in personnel and coach, has been the cause of much pre- season speculation as to what results would be forthcoming. That expectancy has been favorably answered. The 1928 quintet, although still in embryonic form, gave a pair of exhibitions that are a credit to themselves and their coach, and as the season goes on their improvement should be rapid.

The opening tilt brought the scarlet The New York University five gave representatives from Rutgers University. Georgetown its first setback. Their vic- They were a good trial oppenent and ex- tended the home aggregation every inch of the way.

McCarthy for Georgetown was the first scorer of the day, and incidentally the first scorer of the year. His shot was a difficult angular one, and seemed to in- spire aggressiveness in his teammates. Dutton and Mesmer followed with a two- pointer each, and Georgetown was well on its way. Alton, the rangy opponent center, kept his team in the running with his spectacular heaves. His three attempts were all from close to the middle of the court, and each one was successful.

The Rutgers team lost an ace when this same Alton fouled himself out of the game. His play was hard, and no doubt clean, but the technicalities of the rule book made it necessary that he leave the game. With his going went the hopes of the visitors. From then on the final re- sult was foreseeable. The visitors slumped visibly, and Georgetown, perhaps con- trasted to the spiritless opponent, seemed to maintain their winning stride. The closing whistle found the opponents play- ing a defensive game, while the young and fiery Georgetown team was fighting for another score.

McCarthy was the high scorer of the day with six goals from the floor. Dut- ton, his teammate, was a close second with five goals and a foul.

tory was cleancut, and no alibi is offered. It is not disparaging, however, to the home five. Their work was brilliant in every respect and they matched their opponents in every way except possibly in experience.

Meenan started the scoring of the game with a field goal. Dutton folbwed with another basket, and it seemed the home five were to repeat their performance of the previous evening. Such thoughts were soon dispelled, howeva', as the Violet unleashed an attack whbh brought them dangerously close the lome five. The work of Conroy, the rang- N. Y. U. center, was especially outstanding in this show of offensive power.

For the remainder of the half, both teams seemed content to play a defensive game, and the half ended wth George- town holding a slight advantage.

The second half was realy the ball game. It seemed the first half was a necessary preliminary. N. Y. U. started a second offensive which Georgetown just barely managed to hold off. Through the offensive work of Meenan Georgetown held its slight lead until thi closing min- utes, when N. Y. U. brougit forth a re- serve which was a little toe much for the green home five.

The new regime had male its debut to the basketball public, and comments were now in order. Deservinfly, they were all favorable, and the conseisus of opinion is that Elmer Ripley has gven to George- town a team which is a credit to the school and a worthy opporent for the best in the game.

Foul shots attempts—Mesmer, Dutton (9), McCarthy (6), Byrne, Conroy (5), Dynan (2), Reedy (2). Referee—"Jenton (Loyola). Time of periods-—20-minuta hives.

The baseball schedule for the coming spring has been made public by John D. O'Reilly, Jr., '28, Manager of the team. The list includes 31 games and is the hardest schedule a Georgetown nine has had to face since 1922, the last year the Hilltoppers won an undisputed Eastern Championship. More games are in the offing and the total may reach thirty-five, which it is believed would constitute a record.

Beginning on March 27, the season will continue to June 2, with at least two games every week, though most weeks will witness more than that number.

All but four of the teams on last year's schedule will be met again and ten new teams have been added to the list. Nearly all of these ten have been met in the past by the Hilltop nine. Dartmouth, Penn, Guilford and Drexel are omitted from the schedule because it was impossible for the managements to agree upon suitable dates.

The newcomers are Bucknell, Vermont, Colgate, Syracuse, Richmond, Mt. St. Mary's, William and Mary, Army, West- ern Maryland, Penn A. C. and Provi- dence College.

The most difficult part of the season will come during the Easter holidays. Be- ginning on April 4, the Blue and Gray will play on an average of one game a day until April 14. No game will be played on Good Friday, but there will be a doubleheader on the following day.

It is during the Easter period that the strongest teams on the home schedule will be faced. Penn State, Boston College, Yale, Fordham, Princeton, Harvard, and Holy Cross, the top-notchers of the Eastern section, follow almost on each other's heels.

Four excursions into the enemy's terri- tory will be made by the 1928 nine. On April 28, the team journeys to West Point to meet Army. On May 2, they will be the guests of Princeton. May 12 is the date for the invasion of Annapolis and the Navy. May 26 to June 2 will be the time of the annual Northern trip.

An unusual number of Southern teams are on the 1928 schedule. Though Guil- ford will not be met this year, there are seven teams from below the Mason-Dixon Line. Richmond, Mt. St. Mary's, Wil- liam and Mary, Wake Forest, and West- ern Maryland will all be met on the home field, while Navy will be played at Annapolis.

Winning first place in all three events, Karl Wildermuth, Georgetown's great little sprinter, ran away with the Olympic Sprint Series at the annual meet of the Columbus Council, Knights of Columbus, at New York January 7th.

Wildermuth broke the tape in the GO, 80 and 100 meters races, finishing about a yard ahead of Bob McAllister, New York's famous "Flying Cop," in each event. Each time, McAllister and the Hilltop flyer were neck and neck at the halfway mark, but Wildermuth in a driving finish pulled away and broke the tape each time.

The winning times were: for the 60 meters, 7 1-5 seconds; for the 80 meters, 9 seconds; and for the 100 meters, 11 seconds. This last time equals the Amer- ican indoor record which had stood until McAllister clipped a fifth of a second off it last winter.

MILE RELAY TEAM RUNS AT BROOKLYN

N. Y. U. Will Be Probable Op- ponent—Wildermuth in An- other Sprint Series Against Classy Field—Carney Will En- ter 1000-Yard Run.

The Hilltop track team will enter its second meet of the season Saturday eve- ning, when they will take part in the Brooklyn College Games at Brooklyn.

This will witness the first action of the season for the new one-mile relay team and will afford critics an opportunity to decide how much the graduations of Jimmie Burgess and Eddie Swinburne have affected the Hilltoppers' prestige in the baton-passing game.

The relay team will probably be pitted against New York University, which will also be making its season's debut. The strength of the Violet is not known, but there are veterans of last year's fair team, as well as newcomers from the great Freshman team of 1927. It was this team which forced Eddie Hoctor, anchor man for the local Freshman team, to run the quarter in close to 49 seconds at the K. of C. meet last winter. N. Y. U. should have a team that will bring out the best in the Blue and Gray boys.

Another feature Georgetown runner at the Brooklyn games will be Karl Wilder- mouth. Fresh from his victory in the Olympic Sprint Series at New York a week ago, Karl will endeavor to beat an- other classy field in the sprints at 80, 90 and 100 meters. One of Wildermuth's leading competitors will be Henry Cum- mings, former Virginia star and now of the Newark A. C.

At the time of going to press, the per- sonnel of the relay team had not been decided. Eddit Hoctor, Eddie O'Shea, John Cranley, Bob Shorter, Jigs Herlihy and Ed Semansky were all trying for the team.

The order in which the relay team will run will probably not be decided until the night of the meet, though it is prac- tically certain that Hoctor will run anchor. O'Shea will probably be the leadoff man.

John Corner will be the Hilltoppers' representative in the "Brooklyn College Thousand," the feature event of the meet. He will compete against a picked field which includes Lloyd Hahn, the famous B. A. A. runner.

RIFLE SCHEDULE OUT Sam Colman, Manager of the Rifle

Team, has arranged an attractive schedule for the Hilltop sharpshooters. There are nineteen matches on the card, most of which will be telegraphic affairs. But two of the meets will be contested shoul- der-to-shoulder. On February 18, the nimrods travel to Annapolis for a match with the Naval Academy, and on March 10 they will entertain the gunmen from Penn State on the Hilltop range.

Several other matches are pending and will be published as soon as details have been arranged.

The schedule to date: Jan. 21. West Virginia, Mississippi

DAVE ADELMAN SEEN FOR OLYMPIC POINTS By ERIK KJEI.LSTROM, '30

Dave Adelman, Georgetown's big shot putter, will soon become Georgetown's most famous atblete in Northern Europe. If Dave develops as he has promised, he will not only make the American team to Amsterdam, but he will also place in the Olympic final. Dave has already put the shot 40 feet 8 inches in practice and you will soon see from reading this article what such a put means in international competition.

The shotput has in the latest Olympic games been a contest exclusively be- tween America and Finland. The world's record is held by Ralph Rose, with the great throw of 51 feet, established in 1909. He also won the Olympic shotput in 1912. In 1924, Clarence Houser, of U. S. C, won the event with 49 ft. 2^ in. And in 1920 Villie Porhola of Finland won with a put of 48 ft. 7J/R in.

Toward Amsterdam Europe looks with more confidence than ever before in this event. Sweden and Finland especially are well equipped with good shotputters. Finland's two best men are Armas Wahl- stedt and Kalle Jarvinen. Jarvinen is officially the leading shotputter of Europe with his best performance of 49 feet and 11 inches. But, as a matter of fact, Armas Wahlstedt has made an unofficial put of 50 feet 11 inches, but he is rank- ing only third on the European list this year with 49 ft. 1 in. officially. Bertil Jansson of Sweden is the second man in Europe with his 49 feet 6 inches, which is also the Swedish record. Duhour of France is fourth, and then come Daranyi, of Hungary; Brechenmacher, Sollinger and Kulzer, of Germany, and Yrjola (the world's recordholder in decathlon), of Finland. But none of these latter men have passed over the 39-foot mark.

Fifteen meters,.or 49 feet 2)4 inches, is the mark of international stars in Europe, llmce you may understand that Dave is a real shotputter!

America has to look forward not only to Dave, but also to the old stars—Kuck, Houser, Hartranft, Hills, Schwarze, and others. In Europe, especially in Finland, they believe that Armas Wahlstedt will secure the gold medal for Finland. He is a Finn, that is true, and consequently he is very dangerous in hard competition. But many things will happen in the shot- put world before the day of the final round in Amsterdam, and we at George- town hope that Dave Adelman will be the man that will bring the world on its feet.

FROSH WIN The second game of the Intra-

Mural League series last night re- sulted in a victory for the Fresh- men over the Sophomores. The game was played as a preliminary to the 'Varsity game with Johns Hopkins. The score was 43 to 19.

Hendricks, at right forward, and Dillon, at center, were the leaders of the Frosh with ten and nine points, respectively. Bill Mooney was the sensation for the Sophs, his two long tosses being the most thrilling shots of the game.

PRINCIPAL CHANGES IN 1928 BASKETBALL RULES

No change has been made in the dribble for this season.

When the ball is tossed up between two players, the whistle is not to be blown except at the beginning of a period or after time out.

Time is to be taken out on all fouls, the watch to be stopped at the instant the foul is called until: (a) in the case of technical fouls, or double fouls, the ball is tossed up at center; (b) in the case of personal fouls the ball is placed at the disposal of the free thrower for the free throw, or for the last free throw if a multiple free throw is awarded.

If the ball is in play and in the pos- session of a player when "time out" is called, that player puts the ball in play from out of bounds when play is re- sumed.

When a player dribbles and throws for goal, he may recover the ball and dribble again after the ball has touched the basket or backboard. Also, if the ball is batted out of the hands of a player who has completed a dribble, the player may dribble again.

On a jump ball, if the ball drops without being tapped by either jumper, it is to be tossed up again even though one player catches it before it reaches the floor.. This is not to be interpreted as permitting a player to jump and catch the ball.

The referee has been given authority to designate which timekeeper operates the watch in case of disagreement.

Rough-and-Tumble Contest Sees Third-Year Men Victors After Two Extra Periods — Pare Cages Winning Basket.

Mr. W. O. McGeehan, the well-known sports editor of the equally well-known New York Herald-Tribune, has a pet phrase which he takes delight in applying to the manly art of self defense. He sets the virile sport down as "legalized homicide."

But had Mr. McGeehan been present in the Ryan Gym last Sunday morning he would undoubtedly have invented a new and gentler definition of the sport of Tunney, Dempsey, and Calhoun, and would have immediately transferred his pet phrase to the definition of a basket- ball contest between the Seniors and the Juniors of Georgetown University.

The Seniors excelled at catch-as-catch- can, but the Juniors were better at jiu- jitsu and Graeco-Roman. The men of '29 also shot the more baskets, and after two extra periods had been played they emerged the victors by 22 to 20.

That is, they emerged the victors in the sense that the Intra-Mural League rec- ords will have them down as the winners of the season's premiere, but in another, and to them, more satisfactory sense, the cap and gown men were victorious. All of the Seniors were able to return to their rooms after the game without as- sistance.

At the conclusion of the regular two periods of play, the score was tied at 20-all. In the first three minutes of the overtime period, '29 scored twice and seemed to have things sewed up. But Claude Grigsby and Tip O'Neill came through at the last minute with a brace of field goals that brought on another five minutes of play.

That five minutes was nearly used up without a score when Emmett Pare let out a wild yell and fell on the floor. Time was cailed and Emmett limped about a little and finally declared that he was ready to go on. The Seniors paid no attention to him as he stood in the middle of the floor. But he got hold of the ball, turned towards the basket, and heaved the ball. The timer's whistle shrieked out. The ball whipped the cords, and the upper classes at last had a champion.

Throws Shot 49 Feet 1 Inch to Better Hills* Old Mark—Rec- ord Will Not Go on Books— Many Thrilling Races Feature.

One American indoor record was broken, and some of the most thrilling races in the history of the week-end classic were witnessed at the second of the weekly handicap meets last Saturday afternoon on Freshman Field.

Dave Adelman, putting the shot 49 feet, 1 inch, shattered the American indoor rec- ord of 48 feet, 9 inches held by Ralph Hills, the former Princeton star. Adel- man's mark will not go down in the rec- ords as the meet was not a formally au- thorized affair, but the fact of his getting off such a heave indicates that a new rec- ord will be set as soon as he gets into competition in a formal meet.

The leading race of the day was the first heat of the 880-yard run. Larry Milstead, on the five-yard mark, started off fast, but was overhauled at the end of the third lap by Ding Dussault, the scratch man. Ding kept the lead for two laps, but Milstead challenged him in the back stretch. They flew up the stretch, around the last turn, and a flying finish gave Larry a two-yard lead at the tape in 1:59 3-5.

The second heat was nearly as exciting as the first. Jay Julicher jumped into the lead at the start and covered the first quarter in 54 seconds. The pace was too strong for him, however, and Jerry Gor- man took the lead, never to be headed, though he was hotly pursued by John Car- ney, the scratch man.

The second heat of the 440 was the best of the double furlongs. Joe O'Reilly, with a big handicap, led the way up to the final home stretch. Jiggs Herlihy and Eddie O'Shea were hot on his heels, and when he petered out after the last turn, Herlihy made a dash and beat O'Shea across the tape by scant feet.

In the mile run, Jimmy Connolly, vet- eran of two Olympic teams and a former Blue and Gray captain, entered against Walter Folsom and Joe Augustine. The latter dropped behind after the third quar- ter, but Folsom and Connolly fought it out to the end. Smiling Jimmy used his greater experience to good advantage and broke the tape some five yards ahead of the Hilltop Freshman after a spirited sprint around the last lap.

HILLTOPPERS SCORE WIN IN THIRD GAME; DEFEAT JOHNS HOPKINS BY 36 TO 29 COUNT

Hilltoppers Score Win in Third Game; Defeat Johns Hopkins by 36 to 29 Count—Meenan and Mesmer Lead Team to Victory— Locals Lead Practically All the Way—Baltimoreans Threaten at End, but Rally Falls Short—G. U. Defense Features Game.

The Hilltoppers won their second vic- tory in three starts last night at the Ar- cadia when they took the measure of the Johns Hopkins quint by a 36 to 29 count. It was Georgetown's game all the way, except for a brief period at the start when Hopkins held a small lead.

Lanyon, the Baltimoreans' forward, opened the scoring with a shot from un- der the basket, and scored another im- mediately after Don Dutton had scored a foul for the locals. Dutton came back with two more baskets to tie the score at 5-all. Debusky made a goal and a foul, while Captain Nork was shooting a single goal to make the score 8 to 7 for Hopkins.

Maurice McCarthy then made a beau- tiful backhand flip into the basket to give the Blue and Gray the lead at 9 to 7. and from that time the Ripley team was never headed. Johns Hopkins scored but twice more during the half, which ended 24 to 12 with Georgetown on the long end.

In the second half it was the visitors that did the greater part of the scoring. After Nork and Mesmer had started the half with a basket apiece, Lanyon, Kauf- man and Debusky went on a scoring spree of their own, running up seventeen points, while they defended their goal from all Hilltoppers save Buck Meenan, who kept

the Blue and Gray to the fore with two baskets, one of them from near the mid- dle of the floor.

After Hopkins had come within four points of the Hilltoppers, Meenan again came to the rescue with a shot from un- der the basket. Fred Mesmer then put the game on ice with a foul shot just be- fore the gun was fired.

Meenan and Mesmer were again the leading lights for the Blue and Gray. The diminutive forward was the leading scorer of the team with nine points, while Meenan was a single point behind him. Captain Bob Nork showed some return to his form of old by caging three baskets.

The feature of the game, however, was the great defensive play of the Hiltop- pers. So well did they keep their op- ponents covered that most of the Hopkins shots had to be taken from long range.

For the past thirty years Gaston Hall has enjoyed the reputation of being adorned by the finest fresco work in Washington. While the hall is admirably suited for academic assemblies and for- ensic activities, this year it has been ren- ovated and changed for dramatic presen- tations. A prominent New York studio has installed a false prascencum arch and curtains of velour. The color scheme, dark brown and gold, blends harmoniously with the other decorations. The "Dis- play Lighting Company," of New York, has installed an iron skeleton frame* work to which cycloramas flat scenery lights and tormentors may be attached. Stage space of 18x35 feet is thus afforded by this arrangement.

In the hall proper there have been many radical changes. The entire electrical equipment has been renovated. The seats have been done over and stained a dark brown, so that they blend perfectly with the new decorations. Indeed the new Gaston Hall is a thing of beauty, and shows the delicate touch of an artist.

The authorities of the College are quite pleased with the changes, which is really a feat in stage decorations, as the curtains and drapes are attached by small steel cables to the ceiling and in a few hours the hall may be restored to an academic appearance.

SOON TIME FOR TUXEDOES

Bill Rowan, '29, says don't wait until the last minute before the proms, but hustle down to Grosner's, 1325 F St., now, and have all the tuxedo details carefully considered.—Adv.

America Discovered for $7200 Old records show that the cost of Columbus' first expedition to America amounted, in modern exchange, to only $7200. To finance Columbus, Isabella, Queen of Spain, offered to pawn her jewels. Today word comes from Spain indicating that a twentieth century importation from the new world is fast effect- ing a sufficient saving to ransom many royal jewels. The Spanish Northern Railway reports that the American equipment with which in 1924 the railroad electrified a mountainous section of its lines from Ujo to Pajares has accomplished the foliov/ing economies:

1. A 55% saving in the cost of power.

2. A reduction of 40% in the number of engine miles for

the same traffic handled.

3. A saving of 733^% in the cost of repairs and upkeep for locomotives.

4. A saving of 63% in crew expenses.

COLLEGE CLUBS HOLD HOMETOWN DANCES

New York, Chicago, Boston, Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia and New Haven Groups Report on Christmas Socials. Christmas week was the scene of many

undergraduate club dances in the East and Middle West. They were all typi- cal Georgetown affairs and established more firmly in the various cities the good will and friendly spirit of the college they have earned by past successes. Six dances in all were run beginning with that of the Wilkes-Barre Club on De- cember 26. This was their second formal dance and was splendidly received by a still better attendance than last year. On December 28 the most popular date of all, the undergraduates from New York and New Jersey combined and held a hop in the Hotel McAlpin. Frank Corcoran, featured with his Blue and Gray Or- chestra, brought down from New Haven. In the ball-room of the Cedar Brook

Country Club, in Philadelphia, Howard Lanin's Orchestra, of last year's Junior Prom fame, played some merry music to

. make a real Georgetown frolic on the same night. While, also, at the Drake Hotel, the Chicago Club was presenting a Christmas party to the fun-seekers of their city. "Ding" Dussault, who, in addi- tion to his track laurels, also holds the record for being on the most dance com- mittees and usually in the capacity of chair- man, did not even take the holidays off, but headed a committee of Hubmen in running a dance at the Westminster Ho- tel, December 29. The night before New Year's Eve saw the last of the holiday dances staged in New Haven. Tom Meaney and his committee presented Frank Corcoran's Blue and Gray Or- chestra to a happy Georgetown assembly. Men from all over the State gathered in the bannered ball-room of the Lawn Club to enjoy once more the spirit of George- town. This brought to a close a week of jovial merrymaking, leaving an im- pression of particular satisfaction in the memories of those who went to any of the festivities.

The Philodemic Society held their last meeting some few days before the Christmas Holidays began. The next meeting will be after the mid-year exami- nations are over.

At the next meeting there will be an election of officers for the second half of the year. The gentlemen now in office have set a record in their work such as those holding responsible positions for the second half will have to work hard to equal. As the next meeting is important, it is hoped all will be present. The choosing of leaders is something that con- cerns all members.

COLONEL HOPKINS REVIEWS R. 0. T. C.

Commander of Fort Ethan Allen Compliments Cadet Officers^- Shake-up Is Made in Personnel of Companies—Colonel Danne-

Georgetown's R. O. T. C. Unit has as its distinguished guest for the Drill pe- riod on Thursday afternoon Colonel Frank H. Hopkins, who is in charge of Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont. Colonel Hopkins was an interested spectator of the work of the different classes through- out the day and spoke very favorably of the work of the battalion, complimenting the cadet officers on the personal appear- ance and military bearing of themselves and members of their companies.

The personnel of the various companies was revised and changed during the past two weeks, many of the classes being moved to different companies. This trans- fer occasioned a complete reorganization of companies, a problem which was han- dled in a capable manner by the Senior Commissioned Officers on Thursday after- noon.

Within a very short time, the Military. Department expects to receive a visit from a member of the War Department staff who will decide what position Georgetown is to receive for the Inspec- tion which will determine the colleges to appear on the Distinguished College list for the coming year. Lieutenant Colonel August F. Dannemiller, who directs the Department of Military Science at Georgetown, issued the statement that if the unit did not pass this first inspection satisfactorily it would mean a loss of the opportunity to try for a distinguished rating this year.

With this inspection in view, the Colonel urges the student cadets to make a per- sonal inspection of their equipment and to see that their personal appearance measures up to the military standards for the regular drills each week so that they will be fully prepared when the inspecting officer arrives.

Every member of the unit has received a new leather belt from the supply ser- geant which is to be worn at all drills in place of the regular web belts. It is the opinion of the military faculty that these belts will improve the appearance of the unit. The web belts, which will not_ be used again until the annual inspection, have been cleaned and treated with an O. D. preparation which will restore their original color. In like manner, all possi- ble changes and repairs have been made on the other pieces of equipment so that everything will be up to the required standard for the important inspection.

Twenty of Attorney's Classmates Attend Silver Jubilee Dinner with Him—Charles F. Diggs, Class President, Is Toastmas- ter.

Members of the class of 1902 of (icorgetown University School of Law celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their graduation recently at a dinner given in their honor by Frank J. Hogan, Wash- ington attorney, at his home, 2320 Massa- chusetts avenue.

Although a number of the 53 graduates of the law class have died and the re-

maining numbers are scattered far and wide, 20 of the "boys," including some from distant parts of the country, were present for the silver jubilee dinner.

Diggs I'resides.

Charles F. Diggs, the class president, presided at the dinner, and the class

uy, George E. Sullivan, recorded the minutes.

The law class of 1002 recalled with pride that three of its member have be- come judges, four had served as prose- cuting attorneys in their home states, and at least one had been mayor of his city for two terms. The class numbers among its members a vice-president of Amer- ica's greatest bank, as well as a number of others who have gone into business. But the majority of the class have ad- hered to the practice of their profession,

and in this many have become conspicu- ously successful.

WHITE PICKS TEAM FOR FORDHAM (Continued from page I)

the United States in Nicaragua is Justi- fied. It was upon this subject that the trial speeches were delivered. The can- didates were judged upon their knowledge of the subject, their logic, and method of delivery, together with the manner they employed gestures and emphasized their remarks. With Father Toohey and Mr. Gorman, S.J., the Moderator of the So- ciety, as judges, none of the defects of each man were overlooked. There can not be the slightest doubt that by their decision the four men chosen are the best of all those who essayed to the honor.

It is an added incentive both to stu- dents to joint the White Debating So- ciety, and to debating itself, which has been given by this debate with a college away from Georgetown. To many who possess forensic ability, but who lacked the incentive to join the Society this chance of a trip to New York may prove the necessary spark which will stir them to action. Honor and glory can be gained from the rostrum as well as the athletic field.

The team has already started the prepa- ration for defending their viewpoint of the question and with the able coaching of Mr. Gorman they can be depended to propound their arguments with versatility and logic.

The date has not as yet been definitely settled, but it is expected to be some time within about three weeks.

Mr. Chapman of Ohio delivered his trial speech at this meeting and the So- ciety passed favorably on his candidacy.

The President announced that the So- ciety's emblems, ordered previous to the holidays, would probably be delivered on the 20th of the month. He further stated that at the next meeting, the exact date to be announced later, a debate would be held on the question: "Resolved, That Georgetown Should Adopt the Honor System." Messrs. Loker and J. Mc- Geary were selected to argue for the affirmative and Messrs. Hogan and Behan to uphold the negative.
