MASK AND BAUBLE CLUB IN ACTION

To Give Shakespeare Tragedy on April 11th and 12th—Try- outs for the Different Parts Next Sunday in Gaston Hall. Mr. Coffey, S. J., in Charge of Dramatic Production.

mm w

The annual presentation of the Mask and Bauble Club will be given on April 11th and 12th. The Georgetown dra- matists have chosen "Hamlet" as the play toward which their theatrical talents will be directed. Parts in the tragedy will be assigned • next Sunday after competitive try-outs have been held in Gaston Hall.

Mr. Coffey, S. J., is in charge of the dramatic end of the production. A Mr. Klem, of this city, himself an exponent of Shakespearean art, has been engaged to direct the rehearsals. The Rev. Father Minster will also be present at the rehearsals where his long experience with the portrayal of dramatic art will be of much avail. The distribution and sale of the tickets has been assigned to Mr. Mulligan, S. J.

The Reverend W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., vice-president of Georgetown University and Na- tional Chairman of the George- town Endowment Drive Associa- tion, spoke at a luncheon given by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce at the Commercial Club last Monday. Fr. Nevils explained the purpose of the For- eign Service School to the members of the Chamber of Com- merce, saying also that at present Georgetown was not seeking new men for the school since the present enrollment numbers 500 students, but that he was partic- ularly interested in the place- ment of graduates of the school. Fr. Nevils will soon leave for St. Louis to continue his work.

GOVERNMENT ISSUES STUDENTS' ESSAYS

Official Publications Prepared by Students of Foreign Service School, Treatises on the Petro- leum Industry and Trade of Peru and China Wool Oil, Ac- cepted by the Government.

Recently, the names of two students of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University were added to the growing list of those who have prepared treatises in connection with their class work which were afterwards issued as official publications of the United States Government. The report of William W. Dobkin on "Petroleum Industry and Trade of Peru and Ecuador" has been issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce as Trade Informa- tion Bulletin No. 178. This study, which was presented in the Foreign Trade Convention Course, conducted by Mr. Edward L. Bacher, discusses the petroleum market in Peru and Ecuador and the methods and conditions of marketing petroleum products, including legislation and import and export duties and regu- lations.

The other paper, on "China Wool Oil," was prepared by William M. Taylor, also a member of the Foreign Trade Conven- tion Course of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University. It has been issued by the Bureau of For- eign and Domestic Commerce in book- let form. This bulletin presents a complete survey of an important raw material used extensively in the paint, varnish and linoleum industries, and is des- ignated Miscellaneous Series No. 125. Mr. Taylor is chief of the Paint and Varnish. Section of the Chemical Di- vision, and is also the author of Trade Information Bulletin No. 164, "Foreign Markets for Paints and Paint Materials," as well as a number of articles and pa- pers relating to the chemical industry which have been published in trade journals.

GEORGETOWN WINS OWN CARNIVAL MAKES CLEAN SWEEP OF HOPKINS MEET

Four Thousand Spectators Crowd Convention Hall to Doors as Blue and Gray Track Team Makes Sweep of Meet—Sullivan Turns in Fast Mile—Helme Forces Booth to Extend Himself to Win Two-Mile Run—Accident Forces Hilltop "Frosh" Out of Running—Herlihy's Running is Sensational Feature of Meet. Georgetown Amasses 39 Points at Baltimore to Win Johns Hopkins' Meet Last Saturday Night—Capt. George Marsters Turns in Sensational Half-Mile in 1:58 2-5—Hilltop Track Men Score in Eight Out of Ten Events.

While some 4,000 fans looked on in amazed interest, Georgetown's track athletes made a sweep at Convention Hall last Thursday night, as the Blue and Gray twenty-second annual track meet came off. The spectators left the contest hall with smiles of content and pleasure, at the record performances and the excellent brand of sportsmanship displayed throughout the entire evening. No doubt many will anxiously await the event next year. The Blue and Gray track men faced some strong opponents during the session, but the Hilltoppers piled up a winning score of 55 points. Penn was second with 8, Princeton third with 6, and Hopkins fourth with 5 in the collegiate circles.

Christernson, of the Newark Athletic Club, offered plenty of excitement when he waded through the high hurdles of 50 yards twice in six seconds flat, equalling the world's record. Joie Ray, the fleet-footed pacer from Chicago, came to the fore in a flaming red jersey, and as he discarJed it, demonstrated to the audience what the art of track running is, when he pulled in ahead of his opponents. Perhaps the most exciting feature of the evening was the All-East- West mile relay, which circled around the personages of Vernon Ascher and Paul Herlihy. The men finished about the same distance when Ascher took the lead on Herlihy. The latter let out a great burst of speed at the finish and threatened to pass Ascher, but -he was nosed out at the tape. "Bruno" Hills, of Princeton, with a great heave, set a new South Atlantic shotput mark.

Sullivan Wins Mile. Starting the ball a-rolling for

Georgetown, Willie Sullivan returned to the starting point in the mile run in what is known in the track world as good time. Sullivan's figure was 4:26:06 from a 45-yard handicap. This is the best ever done in the district. Going back years, we find in the worm- eaten pages that John Paul Jones and Abe Kiviat stepped the same distance from scratch in 4:30. The pace set by Estevez aided Sullivan in his perform- ance, the former running an excellent race and many of the laurels of the event are to be ceded to his pace-making stride.

The four-forty open found a track full of contestants. A little difficulty was found by the scratch men in pull- ing through the large track, but a diz- zying pace was set and Jimmy Burgess came in on top with a time of 53 seconds. Little Andy Gaffey showed re- markable speed in rounding the pine boards, coming in directly behind Bur- gess. Hass was third.

Paul Herlihy substituted for Ascher in the 400 meters, the latter being com- pelled to withdraw due to a slight sprain. Herlihy, the South' Atlantic champion, was placed against Fitch, of the Chicago A. A., national senior quarter-mile title holder. The Georgetown lad took the lead and never let up during his entire circling around the boards. He broke the tape some yards in front of the Chicogoan with a time of 51:04, which was exceptionally good.

The 880-yard open was a feature of some importance, offering numerous thrills throughout the entire grind. From the large field of entries Gegan and Holden worked up to the front

J., President of Georgetown University, is honorary chairman of the committee in charge; Dr. William F. Notz, Dean of the Foreign Service School, is chairman; and Thomas F. Dolan, Jr., a senior of the Law School, is secretary.

An elaborate reception is planned for Father Walsh, who has been away from the University for two years. Among the speakers of the evening are Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts; Rep- resentative James A. Gallivan, of Massa- chusetts; and W. R. Wright, Third As- sisant Secretary of State.

THE H O Y A

SENIOR CLASS TO HOLD TEA DANCE

In the New Hamilton dining room on next Saturday afternoon, March 1, the Class of 1924 promises to give a tea dance which will be out of the ordinary. This novelty tea will introduce to George- town men the Hamilton's Seven Aces, who will provide jazz syncopation for the first time at a Georgetown affair. The final arrangements for the party have all been completed and it promises to be a great success. The dance will start at 3 :30 P. M. and end at 6 :30 P. M. There will be private tables for the guests at which an afternoon menu of tasty sandwiches, fancy ices and assorted cakes will be served. Tickets for the affair are $2.75. The committee who is in charge consists of Mr. Santo A. Sotille, chairman ; Messrs. James J. Kilroy, Charles M. McNally and James E. Russell.

RYAN BASKETERS CONQUER MULLEDY FIVE

Ryan Five Superior to Mulledy Hall Combination—Game is Closely Contested from Start to Finish—Daly is High Point Scorer for Ryan—Tolman Plays Well for Mulledy.

The Ryan quintet demonstrated their superiority over the Mulledy five last Monday in Ryan Gym by a score of 20-17. The game was closely contested from the opening to the closing whistle. Both teams fought for victory, but due to more accurate shooting and better teamwork the Ryan five emerged the victors.

A pair like Jack Shea and Jim Quinn are a winning combination any time. The teamwork displayed by these two veterans aided greatly in the Ryan victory. Tom Daly was the biggest point scorer for the Ryan aggregation, getting four field goals and two fouls.

Ted Tolman was the star of the Mul- ledy quintet, getting three field goals and two fouls. Dennie Shea was second highest point scorer for Mulledy, caging three baskets from the floor.

GE0T0WN PROFESSOR EDITS LATEST WORK

Dr. Wm. S. Culbertson Compiles Book From Articles Written by Experts on Question—Subject is One Most Vital to United States—Dr. Culbertson is Vice- Chairman of United States Tariff Commission and Pro- fessor of Commercial Policies and Treaties at School of Foreign Service.

"Raw Materials and Foodstuffs in the Commercial Policies of Nations" is the title of Dr. Wm. S. Culbertson's latest work. This work is a collection of articles written by the foremost experts of the country on leading economic questions confronting the world today. Dr. Cul- bertson compiled these articles into book form which has been issued by the Acad- emy of Political and Social Science.

This book is written on one of the most vital subjects facing the American nation today. The struggle between the nations for a monopoly on the different raw materials is causing considerable anxiety in the capitals of the world, not the least of which is Washington.

Commercial policy, the policy of nations toward one another in promoting the interests of their own citizens in interna- tional competition has always been a leading factor in the continuous struggle of the nations for dominance in the world's affairs. Political power and economic strength have even gone hand in hand, each a weapon for increasing the other.

Dr. Culbertson is vice-chairman of the United States Tariff Commission and Professor of Commercial Policies and Treaties in the School of Foreign Service.

ON OTHER CAMPUSES. Dartmouth was the first school in this

country to have a college paper. At one time Daniel Webster was editor-in- chief of the paper.

The athletic ability of George W. Ler- mond, B. C.'s successful two-miler, was discovered just two years ago, and by accident. Lermond is now a junior. One day during his sophomore year, when he and a friend were still some distance from the school and they had just five minutes in which to make the first class, they started a race to the school to beat the bell. Before they reached the school the friend had recognized Lermond's ability and determined to induce him to go out for track.

It has been announced that the 220- yard dash will be added to the list of events at the Penn Relay Carnival. Eric Liddell, of Edinburgh University, Scot- land, the British 100 and 220-yard champion, who has made 9 7-10 and 21 3-5 in these events, will compete.

The University of Indiana is about to begin a very active building period. Al- most three millions of dollars will be spent on five structures. These buildings will be a children's hospital, a stadium, two dormitories, and a union building.

THE H O Y A

Wttb tbe Debaters

Philonomosian. The regular meeting of the Philonomo-

sian Debating Society was called'to order on Monday evening in the Philodemic Room at 7:30 P. M.

The regular weekly debate was set aside so that an open forum could be held on that very vital question which has been discussed and considered so

mch about the College lately, namely, 'hether or not an honor system should « instituted at Georgetown. Many en- iusiastic arguments were advanced for id against the system. Messrs. Hitch-

:ock, Daly and Doran advanced very con- lusive ideas on the subject in the short ime allotted for their speeches. The Rev. Chancellor, Mr. Mulligan,

J., announced that negotiations were :ing carried on with St. Joseph's Col-

:ge, of Philadelphia, for a debate to be ield some time in the near future, in Phil-

adelphia. He also announced that the lectures given by the different men of the

iciety, downtown, would be resumed. After a few short remarks from Pres- ent Kirwin, the meeting was adjourned.

Philodemic. The Philodemic Society held its regu-

lar meeting Tuesday evening, February 19, at which an excellent debate took place. The question, "Resolved: That a commission of experts should be ap- pointed to determine how much of the reparations Germany can and should pay," was upheld by Mr. McLarney and Mr. Fenlon on the affirmative, while Mr. Esmond Murphy and Mr. Edward Brooks defended the .negative. After a very capable debate on both sides, the society awarded the decision to the affirmative and voted Mr. McLarney the best speaker.

Mr, Bernard Wagner and Mr. James Kilroy were elected to membership in the Philodemic Society.

White. At the regular meeting of the White

Debating Society, held Wednesday evening, February 20, the question, "Re- solved: That the Federal Judges should be elected by people for a term of eight years," was debated by Messrs. Hugh McGowan and Regan, on the affirmative, and Messrs. James Lee and O'Shea, the negative. The special issue was reached and the debate was centered about this point. The society rewarded the decision to the negative side, and Mr. Lee was chosen the best speaker of the evening. In the extemporaneous speaking, Mr. Francis Brady was elected the best speaker.

The dinner at Bartholdi's, given through the Hoya, by Mr. Bert Olmstead, is awarded this week to Mr. Ted Butler, of the Senior Class.

SHIPS AND THINGS.

For the past few weeks an eminent student of world affairs, Mr. Garet Gar- rett, has published an article in the "Saturday Evening Post." We believe we are the first publication other than the above mentioned to print the fact. That, in itself, is a rather significant thing, although we take no undue pride in proclaiming it. Certainly, the excellent composition of the articles alone is worthy of favorable comment if we are so unfortunate as to forget or disregard .the meaning of the sentences.

Considering the circulation of the "Post," we believe that there are very few, even among those who may not regard that magazine as the criterion of modern American literature, who are not acquainted with the writer's latest effort. Is it because the American public is too engrossed with the scandals of the daily paper that the contents of "Our $3,500,- 000,000 Nucleus" and the others have made no impression? Is it because the statements so baldly made by Mr. Gar- rett are too true that our newspaper editors maintain such a silence?

In a clear, straightforward fashion the writer tells of the beginnings of the Emergency Fleet Corporation and the United States Shipping. Board, of the troubles and successes of the building period during and after the war, of the expenditures of billions, of the faults and good points of system and directors. It is a tale, based wholly on fact, of a gigantic undertaking with an anti-climax of pitiful failure. Mr. Garrett lightens up every corner, every angle of the situation, from the shops where the fabri- cated ship parts were made to the office of the Shipping Board Chairman, from

the suite of the ignorant "representative" abroad to the White House. In words that all may read, he gives, simply and accurately, a complete history and re- counting of all that has been done to place the American flag upon the mast- head.

There is no need to attempt an em- phasis of the importance of his subject. If the people, all the people, of these United States are not able to realize the gravity of the existing situation, presented to them as it is, what does a billion or so in oil matter?

THE MEET.

The annual Georgetown Indoor Track Meet held last Thursday evening marked another step forward towards a "Greater Georgetown." This yearly event has as- sumed proportions comparative to the strides of the University as a whole. The meet, as such, reflected the greatest credit upon the athletic authorities of the school and brought added honors to the long list of Blue and Gray victories.

Those interested in Georgetown athletics, and in particular the undergrad- uates, are wont to picture her athletic system as pivoting mostly about one figure. That in a general sense is not the true concept, but in the case of the track meet it most fortunately was. Far from being the general boss of all athletic activities, never the first to push himself forward when the laurels are being awarded, the Faculty Director did have charge of this affair; its success of necessity had to rest upon the shoulders of one man. All know the months of labor and effort that must be expended to bring about the meeting in competition of such an array of talent as crowded the track in Convention Hall last Thursday evening; everyone realizes the thousand little responsibilities that make up the whole, although not many pause to consider them.

Few are the indoor track meets that have been run off with the speed and efficiency that marked this affair. Care- fully chosen men officiated well and not too obtrusively, the starter had his men off on perfect time, and the ushers really found seats for all who had tickets while finding satisfying, places for the "standees." The long list of races, jumps, and throws were replete with men known all over the country for their performances, each event held a fair amount of interest for everyone.

One man, who was very well acquainted with his "business," was the sponsor and the spirit of the evening and its success. His knowledge combined with his tact brought together some three hundred athletes to compete under the best of indoor condition's to further athletics and track first, themselves and the institutions whose colors they wore, secondly.

The fund of praise would not be great enough if it could not bestow on the Director's efficient aides a large share of credit. Coach O'Reilly, of course, led his charges to victory by an overwhelm- ing score, indicative not only of the worth of the Georgetown squad but of the efforts made to train the Blue and Gray runners. His aid in arranging the program and planning the events proved a great help in rounding out the program. Mr. James J. Mulligan, as assistant track coach at the Hilltop and official at the meet, was invaluable. Finally, Mr. Matthew Sullivan, '24, Manager of the Track Team, is to be commended for the excellent work done by him in preparation for the event.

As the years go on and despite occa- sional and serious reverses, the star of Georgetown's prestige ascends to the heavens of the collegiate world. The success of the indoor meet of 1924 is an added impetus that spurs all George- town men to greater interest and effort.

Getting Hcquaintefc with 1924

James Hanway Grasty.

The door of the most prominent room in the North Jelly bowl swung open— the "Massa" came hurdling out in a fur coat. "Awful sorry, but Ah'm on my way to Convention Hall. Drop • around next week," roared Greenville's honored son, as he cast complimentaries casually to the more or less caustic classmates. But alas! I was not to be so casually done away with. And so in my most studied Chesterfieldian manner I begged, "Knowing you to be a very busy man, I thought perhaps I could take you down in my new car. We could continue our interview uninterrupted." "How thought- ful. I'd be charmed," asserted Jim.

And so safely ensconced in blue velvet cushions of my new Buick sedan we sped towards the Hall of • Conventions.

"THE HOYA patrons have constantly petitioned for your opinions concerning the coming baseball, handball, tennis, golf and what-not seasons, and Georgetown's prospects in these branches. What would be your honest views on the installing of a natatorium and a drinking fountain under the Senior classroom? These reforms are being constantly recommended and the faithful student body await your sanction."

"Personally or impersonally," ejacu- lated Jim, "I don't prefer either a natatorium or a drinking fountain under the Senior classroom—but what I would like is a little more service from the furnace instructor under aforementioned classroom.

"Moreover, I believe that in outlining my platform in THE HOYA columns a few months back, I did not mention my tennis and handball or Mah-Jong reforms.

"Tennis, of course, shall be played on the tennis courts still, but a little better, I hope," continued "Massa."

"Handball, the favorite sport of last year's graduating class, is to be given more publicity than ever before in the annals of G. U.

"Moreover and nevertheless," the little colonel continued, as he took four or five of my Chesterfields, "I cannot say that I think very highly of the reforms spon- sored by that chap Daly. He will never bring bridge up to its former position either in the College or across the river.

"And while I am on the subject of the river, I must say that although I think that Sinclair or Daugherty would make splendid coxwains on the Sing Sing crew, I believe that Tom Slattery would make a capital stroke for G. U.

"I suppose you know," Massa and the Buick rattled on, "that it is my fondest hope, as well as the light of my life, to hear Tom Golsen shouting a Blue and Grey, or pink—I love pink—crew to victory."

"But, Mr. Grasty," I interrupted rudely, "it is a known or unknown fact about the big 'U.' that you are a con- noisseur of past and current literature, as

well as an ardent admirer of Walter Camp's principles. I'm sure that you would allow us to print the titles of what you consider the nation's best in belles- lettres."

"Well, of course, if you insist so adroitly," drawled James H.. "I think that for current literature Brosnahan's Principles of Ethics and Robi Crusoe are the most inviting; for morfc or less weighty reading matter I prefer either the works of Sherwood Anderson or Dr. Frank Crane; for my humorous moments, which are very few, I delight in Andersen's Fairy Tales or the plays of Eugene O'Neill or Eugene Moses."

We were nearing the Convention Hall, as J. H.'s face twitched nervously, but he kept on bravely, "Mr. Buoy, 1 want to—a—er—a—but I can't say it." (At this point, the big heart of the Massa's seemed breaking with grief—his face was one mask of twitches—his eyes were even twitching.)

P. S.—Due to a very serious case ofi Hebe-Jebe's, the infamous Jay Gibe is out of town for a spell. However, "the ed" has gone to the farthest end of the, earth to procure the services of that well-known reporter, Mr. Waywai Buoy—the man without a mind. Mi Buoy at one time, we hope, was an associate cub reporter for the New York Review, or the Winter Garden. Ml Buoy is also retained by Mr. Bernit Tighe, of Senior class, to investigate the matter of Santa Claus—and Infant De- ception.

"Why, J. H.," I urged enthusiastically, "you can trust me with anything. Don't be afraid."

"Mr. Buoy, I presuppose you are right-footer yourself," came in a pleas-: ing Southern accent, "and no doubt yot will be able to understand the heroic effort I am making. Mr. Buoy, I am a lover of watermelon. I eat it every day, and sometimes every other day."

"But I don't understand," I queried nobly.

"Of course you don't," interposed Jim. "But I'm thinking very seriously of giving it up for the Lenten season. This is almost breaking my heart, you see."

"Colossal! Stupendous!" I reiterated again and still. "I can see you are a very noble soul."

We were now at the very doors of the Hall. The Buick sneaked up to the curb. The Massa jumped across my lap and out the window with the agility of Eddie Foy.

"Good-bye," he shouted, as he was raised on the shoulders of the frantic mob.

"Just one more question," I returned vociferously; "have you anything to say about .the Teapot Dome scandal ?"

"Just this," J. H. voiced into the radio transmitter at the door of the Arbitrary Hall. "I have suspicions that Charlie Kelly was that rancher employed by Sin- clair—but don't breathe a word of it."

Georgetown will be well represented at the I. C. 4 A. games in New York Saturday night. It is certain that the squad to be sent up, while not large, will push the foremost contenders for tape honors. Much is expected from the relay teams that will participate in the main events.

The billboards tell us that "The Vani- ties of 1924" are in town. Some cynic informs us that it's no news to him.

We were deeply grieved to learn of the death of Mr. Herbert Verkamp,

THE H O Y A

HOW'S YOUR FISH? This expression, which is now current

about the campus, has created no end of discussion among the beau monde on the Hilltop. Due to the number of letters received in the spacious quarters of THE HOYA, asking where, when and how this expression originated, the Editor assigned the prize sleuth to probe deeply into the mystery, cautioning him to use no hooks. With the aid of a number of dogfish and after heartrending days spent on the trail the prize sleuth has been able to give to THE HOYA the story of this "catchy" phrase. At present he is in the Wilds of Fishland, but by means of flying-fish he was able to get the story to the Editor in time for publication in this week's issue. He wishes it to be known that only fish- titious names are used in his story, which is :

In the long, long ago when this earth was inhabited only by dinosaurs, buck- saws and handsaws, on Mt. Olympus there dwelt a god who forever asked questions. The funny part of the questions (aside from the god himself), were the questions he asked. This god was a vegetarian and as such, both in theory and practice he would eat nothing but vegetables. On Saturday, however, he broke his fast and had corn beef and cabbage for dinner. As I said before, this god was a vegetarian and knew his "oats." For some time he was content to eat

• only vegetables, but some years he didn't know whether he was eating a turnip or " a catnip. Naturally he grew tired of eating spinnach, asparagus, carrots, tur- nips, catnips, snakeships and other ips, so he fished about for a new diet. He didn't have to fish long.

At the foot of his altitudinous home there was a lake whose ruler, King Fisher, thought he was king because he had a crown in his mouth. This king had a great many finned subjects whom he humored all the time. No matter what he told them they believed. They swallowed bait, hook, sinker, etc. The king mingled freely with his subjects and one who did not know him could never distinguish between the king and his subjects even though his highness had no scales.

The situation of the vegetarian became more and more acute. He began to worry over it. For days he would not look at a vegetable so much did he despise them. He grew thin until, finally he realized that he must either eat vegetables or find another means of sustenance more pala- table than pomme de terre, etc., or starve. He did not want to starve, neither did he wish to continue eating members of the second kingdom, so he decided to find

another diet. He left his home in the clouds one night and wandered down to the shores of the lake where he sat down to think over his position.

It happened that this was the night that King Fisher arose to breath deeply of the pure oxygen, nitrogen, etc.—in other words,- he took the air. While taking the air he also drank deeply of the moonshine. On this particular night the moonshine weighed more in the scales than other nights and soon King Fisher become drowsy and later dove into the arms of Morpheus and swam through the land of Nod a la Pullman—up and down.

When the vegetarian saw King Fisher disporting the thought came to his mind innstantaneously: A fish dinner! My kingdom for a fish, he cried. Wiping his tears of joy away with a fin he set about attracting the attention of the Scaly Monarch. This was easier said than done. In clear, stentorian tones the ex-vegetarian cried out "Ho, King, I have decided to discard the vegetables. The onions make my eyes water and I can't get a date, a date; I can't catch up to the cabbage because it's ahead; the asparagus shoots too straight for my crooked throat; the turnip's yellow and I haven't a chance with the beet, so I have decided to eat fish hereafter twice a day and three times on Sunday. Couldn't you let me have a shore dinner now?"

His words of entreaty fell on deaf ears for King Fisher was oblivious of the fact that the god talked fish. Still the vegetarian kept calling, but he received no answer. He even sent messenger boys to King Fisher but later it was learned they died en route—of old age. Finally as he had almost given up hope he hit upon the solution of the problem and broke the neck off. Taking a deep breath of air he commenced to shout, once more, for he had an idea, a means of attracting the fish sovereign's attention. The anti- vegetable champion knew that King

Fisher was proud of his subjects and their prowess; he knew that King Fisher delighted to burden his guest with tales of his subjects' pranks and how they re- moved the bait from the hook and were never caught. Again he took a deep drink—of air, and let out such a terrible cry that even the scales on the king's back jingled in perfect harmony:

HOW'S YOUR FISH? Immediately the king awoke from his

deep dream (for he had settled to the bottom of the lake), took the floating stairs nearby, transformed to a raft and in a short time landed beside the arch enemy of all vegetables, who was standing on the bank. The minute King Fisher landed on the shore he said, "I must tell you what little Willie Minnow and his big brother J. B. did last Friday. They " but here he was stopped by the non-vegetarian who said: "I'm sick of vegetables and they're sick of me. I want some fish for a change. If I don't get fish I'll die." The King Fisher was overcome with pity at the god's sad plight and said, "I will not let you die," so he called for volunteers from his kingdom to save the life of this fair young god.' About ten of one family responded to the call and'gave themselves up to the king. As they left him, he said, "They're the suckers." Poor fish ! ******

The king rapidly regained his health and once more became the same kind- hearted, jovial person. He showered all

sorts of gifts, on King Fisher and his subjects out of respect for those who per- ished that the god might live and be happy. So great was his generosity that no fish ever worked again. Knowing that if the god had not shouted, How's your fish? all these things would not be theirs. So instead of saying "How are you?" when they met, King Fisher decreed that the worrj of greeting should be How's Your Fish?

Moral: Beware lest you get kicked with a fish! That is the story found in the Royal Fish Archives and its proba- bility and possibility is left entirely to the credulity of the reader.

THE H O Y A

GEORGETOWN TO SEND FIFTEEN MEN TO NEW YORK FOR I. C. A. A. A. A. MEET HELD THIS SATURDAY

Much Expected From Hilltop Runners Because of Early Season Successes—Riflers Begin N. R. A. Tournament Shooting—Trio of G. U. Boxers Show at Rockville, Md.—Battery Candidates Are Getting in Shape.

BY GORDON BARRY, '25.

This week will mark the beginning of a somewhat transient period in the current activites of Georgetown University athletic doings. Rapidly the indoor season is drawing to a successful close, and attention is being focused in the direction of outdoor competition. The annual indoor intercollegiates to be held in the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, New York City, this Saturday will be practically the last board track carnival of any account to the Hilltop that Blue and Gray runners will compete in. Following this meet it is highly probable Coach John D. O'Reilly will give his large squad a well-earned rest prior to beginning preparations for the coming strenuous outdoor season.. The initial event of importance carded on the cinder schedule is the Penn carnival to be staged at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Friday and Saturday, April 25 and 26. Dr. George Gordon, manager, announced last week his confidence that this year's relay program would easily eclipse those of the past. Comparatively cold weather during the past week has been of little assistance to the battery candidates working out daily in the gymnasium. However, a break a likely to soon favor them and they with the other aspirants should soon be seen outdoors.

time in copping the intercollegiate outdoor title was 9:35 8-10, and McLane was chasing him all the way. In winning the national college title Booth completed the distance in 9:32 1-5.

Classy Pole Vaulters. Among those who will offer stiffest

competition to Dave Shannon in the pole vault are Sherrill and Owen of Penn- sylvania. Both have cleared 12 feet 6 inches. Scholpp, of Yale, and Green- ing, of Cornell, will also bear watching.

Ralph Hills, of Princeton, with whom Tony Plansky should now be well acquainted, is by far the most dangerous opponent the Hilltop 16- pound shotputter will face.

Frank McLain, whose ankle received a severe turning when he was running for the frosh relay team at the Conven- tion Hall meet, is rapidly recovering. He has been ordered to rest, but hopes to don the togs shortly.

Boxers Show Wares. Last Saturday night a trio of youths

who were well to the fore on the gridiron this past fall journeyed over to Rockville, Md., where in the armory of that town in a benefit exhibition they displayed rare boxing ability before an enthusiastic crowd of 2,500. While leather-pushing is not a recognized sport on the Hilltop, it is participated in voluntarily by several devotees of the manly art who employ that branch of sport as a means of keeping in condition.

In the principal amateur bout of the evening "Bolac" Degasis drew an even decision with his opponent, Lamar,, from Western High School. The latter is the 175-pound National Guard champion of Maryland. Despite his weighing ten pounds less and being somewhat small- er of stature, Degasis put up a scrappy encounter. The men went four rounds" of two minutes each. On one occasion the Hilltopper floored his man, while over the entire route the former was able to remain on his feet.

Bravely substituting for a listed per- former who failed to put in his appearance. Emmet Foley took on Fisher, of the local Y. M. C. A. Both weighed in at 150. Despite the fact the coura- geous little lad that held down a wing position on Captain Paul Florence's grid eleven this year received quite a pummelling, lie boxed cleverly enough in the opinion of the judges to warrant a draw decision.

The third member of the trio was Jim Pugh. He tried conclusions with Fletcher, of Eastern High School. Both contestants tipped the scales at 153 prior to entering the ring. Pugh gave a brilliant account of himself to such a degree that he, too, won a knot- ted decision.

All the above mentioned participants received expensive sweaters as a re-

Three Relay Teams Go.

In what will be somewhat of a fitting conclusion to Georgetown's successful present indoor season will be the entry of fifteen men in the indoor intercollegiates to be held in the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, New York, Satur- day night. All of 1,025 athletes, rep- resenting a large number of Eastern colleges, will compete. Georgetown has entered a one-mile and a two-mile varsity team, also a freshmen medley foursome. In addition, in five indi- vidual events, wearers of the Blue and Gray silks will be seen.

The varsity one-mile relay quartet will be composed of Andy Gaffney, Paul Herlihy, Ray Haas and George Kinnally. On the varsity two-mile team will be Captain George Marsters, Eddie Brooks, Walter Gegan and Johnny Holden. Jack Haas, East- ment, Mullaney and Estevez constitute the yearlings' medley outfit.

Ray Haas is entered in both the dashes and broad jump. However, it is improbable i"f he will compete in the former event. Tony Plansky is listed for the shot put, also, the broad jump. Shannon will try for laurels via the pole vault route. Gritty Harry Helme, whose recent running has evoked ad- miration from all those who have seen him perform, will journey over the two- mile. Accounts contained in this week's HOVA will afford the reader sufficient material for comparison of the abilities of those entered in the popular I. C. 4-A. games. Georgetown's own meet and the Hopkins carnival served well toward this end.

Unfortunately, Coach O'Reilly is unable to enter anyone in the mile. Last year ex-Captain Jimmy Connolly won this distance, negotiating it in the record time of 4:17 4-5.

Syracuse Mile Team In.

Syracuse, winner of last year's one- mile relay, has again entered its team, but will run minus the services of its former ace, Allen Woodring. Hence Yale with Chapman and Gage, premier 440 men, and Georgetown look like logical first-place choices. Princeton is also entered.

Penn State's record-breaking two- mile outfit at the Penn relays when Carter, Edgerton, Enck and Hellfrich completed the journey in 7:48 4-5, is to be recalled when practically the same men will compete for the championship. The freshman relay is always in doubt.

Bob Moore, of Columbia; Verne Booth, of Hopkins; McLane, of Penn- sylvania, along with Harry Helme, of Georgetown, are the headliners for the two-mile run. Moore ran the best two miles of the present indoor season when he won the junior national A. A. U. title at Buffalo in 9:33 1-5. Booth's

ward for their services. In addition to the many amateur bouts, there were several professional tussles.

Riflers in N. R. A. Battle. Boiling over with confidence as a re-

sult of taking first honors in the N. R. A. match last year, and in view of the fact a showing of general improvement has been quite noticeable during the last week, the Georgetown rifle team will begin firing its initial batch of targets this week in the indoor National Rifle Association's intercollegiate tournament. The engagement will cover a period of three weeks, which means all firing will have to be concluded by March 15. That Captain Saffarrans' men lost to Iowa last week in a dual match is nothing to be lugubrious over in view of the fact the Westerners proudly, and justly, too, boast of one of the leading teams in national college ranks. For the past two years Iowa has been right at Georgetown's heels in this event to be opened this week.

In 1922 the University of Pennsyl- vania won the match and title. Second to Georgetown in 1923 was Iowa and close behind this outfit was the local George Washington Gun Club.

The event will consist of three stages, fired weekly. A stage will consist of two strings each of two sighting shots and ten shots for record, fired in the following order: First week, one string prone, one sitting. Second week, one string prone, one kneeling and one standing. The firing will be at 50 feet on the official N. R. A. targets. Each team will consist of five shooters and all their scores will count for record. Any school may enter as many teams as it desires.

Among the teams entered in addition to Georgetown are Hopkins, G. W. U., Yale, Columbia, Syracuse, Chicago, Northwestern, Modesto Junior College (California), Iowa, M. I. T., Norwich, Drexel, C. C. N. Y. and Carnegie In- stitute of Technology.

Batteryman Carry On. What took place this past week in

the Ryan Gymnasium with the battery candidates is nothing more nor less than a repetition of the account run in these columns last week. In the indi- vidual men, however, there is marked improvement discernible. The twirlers are gradually loosening up the arm and body muscles that have been for the most part dormant during the winter months. Because of the extreme pressure exerted by three track events over the holiday and week-end period, Head Baseball Coach John D. O'Reil- ly was unable to give the diamonders much attention. This, nevertheless, will be remedied shortly in that the coming period of inactivity for the track men will afford the "Silver Fox" sufficient opportunity to devote the necessary time to his diamonders in getting them ready for the field.

The absence of O'Reilly under cover has been ably substituted for by Jackie Maloney, varsity football coach this past season. For the past four or five years, in addition to acting as assistant gridiron tutor before becoming headmaster, Maloney was Coach O'Reilly's righthand man on the varsity field diamond. Hence his manner of instruction is well understood by all the veteran candidates whom he is now drilling in lieu of "Johno."

Freshmen Coach "Bill" Kcnyon, in addition to observing the prospects of his battery material for the coming session, is working out in uniform with the men. A catcher of no limited ability himself, he will have an excellent opportunity to try out especially his pitcher aspirants for the next few weeks that the men remain indoors.

Among the yearlings that recently joined the already large squad now daily working out are Leo Haller, of Pittsburgh and Fred McDermott, of New York City. The former is a can- didate for twirling honors and appears to be a promising man. He received his fundamental knowledge out at the

MAGUIRE WINS INTERHALL GAME

Quintet from Maguire Takes Victory in Slow Game—Des Raimes, Curran, McDonough and McCaffery Are Bright Lights for Healy.

After a dull, spiritless game with a bright spot here and there, the Maguire quintet found themselves on the long end of a score of 16-10, with Healy five trailing. The game was slow from beginning to end, with only a few minutes of real basketball playing in the game.

Both teams used a large number of substitutes. At the beginning of the second quarter both halls put new teams on the floor. However, the injection of new men into the game could not increase the spirit. After a short time all substitutes were taken out and the original fives finished the game.

The teamwork of the McGavan broth- ers was the bright light in the Healy of- fense, while Sands and Clark also played well for the Tigers.

For the "Molly Maguires" Des Raimes, Carron, McDonough and McCaffrey played brilliantly. Healy Maguire Higgins R. F Perlitz Farrel L. F Toohey

McGavan (2), Sands (2), Farrel Clear, Des Raimes (3), McDonough (2), L. Carron (2). Fouls: Carron, 2 out of 4; Clarke, 1 out of 3. Referee, Mike Donovan. Time, 4-8 minute periods.

Georgetown Prep School under the careful eye of Harry Sullivan, former Hilltop star initial sacker. McDermott has been working out cautiously since his advent to the camp. Though slight of build as compared with some of those who will oppose him for the position of chest-wearer this spring, it would he well for devotees of the game to watch the progress this youth makes. He is instinctively a ball player.

Not only is Georgetown working out, but also most of the rival nines that she will meet this year are. Harvard and Yale have had their battery prospects out for some time. The crimson squad is at present rather weak in the box. Joe Wood, Yale coach, feels a little nibre confident as regards the flinging department. Up Worcester way clever Jack Barry, erstwhile Red Sox player, is back to his old tricks of planning for an intercollegiate championship nine. With Owen Carrol back in the box he has virtually a veteran nine. Though the call has not been issued by the purple coach for infielders and outgardners yet, several have taken it upon themselves to work out lightly after the others concluded their day's work. 'Phis proves in part their intention for the coming season.

Boston College received a severe blow a few days ago when one of its star catchers of last year, Sullivan, withdrew from school in an effort to hook up with some major league club. Phillips, the other backstop of the 1923 team, is with the Braves this season. However, the field department, with Foley, Wilson and Darling and others, is strong. Bowdoin College, with whom Georgetown will open its 1924 season, is fortunate in possessing an indoor baseball field, which comprises the first floor of its fine gymnasium. This means that when the Maine lads ship south they should be in fairly for- midable shape and in a position to offer the Hilltoppers plenty of opposition.

and had a pretty race all to themselves. At the pistol for the last round, Holden strove hard to break the tape first, but Gegan just nipped it a few steps ahead of him.

G. U. Frosh Out. In the scheduled event with the

United States Naval Academy Plebes and the University of Virginia freshmen, the Hilltop youngsters started out in their relay, but on the first turn McLain fell, but picked himself up and continued. As he endeavored to sprint on the straightway to the next man he twisted his ankle and was unable to continue. The navy opened up a big gap on the Cavaliers and won by lots to spare in 3:44:1.

The Johns Hopkins University distance wonder, Vernon Booth, followed in company with Georgetown's two- miler, Harry Helme, a large field of contestants in the two-mile open race. As the laps wore on the field was cut, and the race hung on between Booth and Helme. The Hilltop pacer stuck right on the trail of long-striding Booth and ran one of the prettiest races that has been witnessed for some time. Helme threatened to conquer at the final gun, but the Hopkins runner stepped out and broke the telling tape a few yards ahead of the Blue and Gray two-miler.

Murchison Wins. Running from scratch in the 50-yard

special, Murchison broke the tape first in 5:2 in his effort to lower the world's record, which stands at 5:1. Dowding, of Georgetown, was right on the winner's heels, while Thompson, of the Hilltop, was third.

Joie Ray, making his getaway from scratch against Mike Devanny, of the Millrose A. A., and Richer, of Virginia, came home in the lead with plenty to spare. For the first time in many years Devanny took a 45-yard handicap, but was unable to cope with the Chicago lad's fleetness. Ray turned in a time for the 1,500 meters distance at 4:10:5.

Blue and Gray Defeats Pitt. The distance medley relay offered an

easy proposition for Georgetown against the track men of the University of Pittsburgh. The event was a walk- away for the Hilltoppers; each time a Blue and Gray man came to the next starter with a good lead. Gaffey, Kin- ally, Marster and Sullivan carried batons for Coach O'Reilly's team. Gaffey and Kinally opened up a half a lap, while Marsters, taking things easy, brought back an increased lead to Willie Sullivan, who covered the last mile far in the lead of Corbett, of Pittsburgh.

A little disappointment was felt in the non-appearance of the University

* of Pennsylvania pole vaulters, Owen, Sherrill and Stewart. It was not until later on in the run of events that the Penn vaulters refused to compete un- less they had a specially built-in block for their event. The Quaker City lads did not compete and little were they missed, as the performances tendered by Dave Shannon and Emerson Nor- ton, of Georgetown, made up doubly for the missing contestants. Shannon, with a leap of 11 feet 6 inches, won the pole vault, with a six-inch handi-

cap. Norton was second and Haas, of the Blue and Gray, placed third.

Hills Breaks Record. Breaking an indoor and outdoor rec-

ord for the South Atlantic district, Ralph Hills, of Princeton, heaved the shot 46 feet 9 inches. It was a splendid feat and the burly lad from the New Jersey institution deserves much comment for his ability. Emerson Norton of Georgetown, was second.

The high jump was captured by the lengthy Hubbard, of Penn, clearing the bar at 6 feet 1 inch, with a four- inch handicap. Meade, of Georgetown, and Casson, of Penn, were equal for second place. A toss gave Penn both places.

Raymond Haas did some splendid jumping when he went through the air and collected 23 feet 3 inches with his additional 10 inches handicap in the broad jump open. Haas beat out Rose, Penn's track captain, who was tied with Tony Plansky for third place. Dow- ding, of Georgetown, followed the per- formance offered by Haas and took second place.

AT BALTIMORE Georgetown's track squad again

gained glory by winning the Johns Hopkins meet, held last Saturday at Baltimore. The Hilltoppers scored in eight out of ten events in the open program, taking first honors in five of these—the 100-yard low hurdles, the 220, the 880, the pole vault and the shot put. Georgetown amassed 39 points, while their nearest competitor, Johns Hopkins, could not do better than 10 points.

In the furlong and half-mile events the Blue and Gray tracksters cleaned up, winning all places easily. In the half- mile event, Capt. Marsters was forced to extend himself to win from his team-mate, Johnny Holden. Marsters broke the tape a few yards ahead, after running a brilliant race. It was the third time in as many starts that Hol- den broke the tape only a small margin in rear of the winner.

Clarke, the Johns Hopkins speed demon, who is rated as an Olympic prospect created a new world's record indoor for the century dash, which he covered in the semi-final heat in 9 4-5 seconds. He won the final, covering the distance in 10 seconds. Cummings, of Woodberry Forest, took second, while Andy Gaffey, of Georgetown,

was a close third. In the second heat of the semi-finals, Thompson, of Georgetown beat Brierly of Penn State. Dave Shannon, of Georgetown, took third. In the finals, won by Clarke, Cummings took second and Thompson third.

Marsters Wins. The 880-yard run was one of the

bright spots of the meet. Captain Marsters, of Georgetown, running from scratch, was forced to the limit by his team-mate, Holden. The latter had the upper hand all through the race, but by a final spurt in the last 50 yards, Capt. Marsters broke the tape first. Marsters and Holden beat out a fast field, the former winning in 1:58 2-5.

Kearney, of Georgetown, won the 100-yard low hurdles with ease. Moore, of Penn State, and Wolfe, of the University of Pennsylvania, finished in the order named.

In the 220-yard dash Georgetown took all three places. Dowding, with a handicap of eight yards, won by 5, and trailing him were Kinally and Gaffey.

In the pole vault, Shannon, of Georgetown, was not forced to extend himself to win, and ,took first place

with the mark at i0 feet 6 inches. Plansky, of Georgetown, beat Hills,

of Princeton, intercollegiate shot put champion, throwing the weight 47 feet 2 inches. Gibson, of Princeton, was third.

Helme was unable to overcome the large handicap to Boetcher of Lafay- ette, in the mile run and was forced to be content with second place. Sulli- van, also of Georgetown, took third. It was a fast race and the winner was forced to the utmost to win. The time was 4:22 4-5.

The way to get the finest shave

The Hinge-Cap is a sure way of identifying Williams Shaving Cream. And Williams, be- sides giving you the convenient Hinge-Cap, will improve your shave in three ways:

First, the lather is heavier and holds the moisture in against the beard. Quicker and more thorough softening of the beard results. Second, the razor glides more easily through the Williams-softened beard because Williams lather lubricates the skin. Lastly, an'ingredient in Williams keeps the skin in good condition no matter how heavy your beard nor how frequently you shave. In addition, you'll enjoy Williams because it is a pure, natural white cream without poloring matter of any kind. Ask for it.

SENIORS ANNOUNCE FAVORS FOR PROM

Affair to Be Given on Willard Roof in May—Much Discussion Before Writing Compact is Chosen for the Ladies' Favor. Wright Company of Philadel- phia to Manufacture Prom Novelties—Ticket Price Set at $11.00.

The E. A. Wright Company, of Phila- delphia, at a recent meeting of the Senior class secured the order for the Senior "Prom" affairs.

This already famous social event will take place on May 9. The scene of the occasion has been definitely settled as the New Willard Roof, which location should prove very popular for the season of the affair.

In the matter of favors considerable discussion was brought out in the Senior class meeting. A change from the usual order of favors was demanded and for a time it seemed as if favors were to be abolished. However, upon the sugges- tion of the Wright agent, an agreement was reached by which a specially ar- ranged writing compact will be manu- factured for the ladies' favor.

The compact will be of a blue genuine leather cover with an appropriate insignia of Georgetown and on the inside the leather lining will be in gray. Within the folding covers every detail of convenience and necessity is present, and the selection will undoubtedly prove a feature of the party.

In order to obtain this most delightful favor the budget allowance for favors was increased from the usual three dollars per ticket to four dollars and a half. Consequently, to enable the purchase of a suitable favor for the gentlemen, the class voted to establish the price of the Prom ticket as eleven dollars.
