N. Y. ALUMNI HOLD RELAY TEAM CAPTURES CARDINAL ANNUAL BANQUET O'CONNELL TROPHY AT K. OF C. MEET

President Creeden Attends Big Function in New

York.

The twenty-sixth annual banquet of the Society of New York Alumni of Georgetown University was held at the Metropolitan Club on February the twenty-seventh.

J. Lynch Pendergast, president of the society, acted as toastmaster, and the Rev. John B. Creedon, president of the University, was an honored guest. The Honorable John F. Crosby, of the Class of 1910, spoke upon "Our Alumni."

Other guests of the Society were The Rev. Hugh A. Gaynor, S.J., of Ford- ham University; Owen S. M. Tierney, president of the Fordham University Alumni Association; John J. Curtin, president Manhattan College Alumni As- sociation, and Harry S. Austin, president of Holy Cross Alumni Association.

A play to provide a club for George- town men in New York was discussed, and the advisability of acquiring a house for the use of graduates who come to New York to enter business or take up courses in professional schools was fully gone into. The project met with such hearty approval that many predict that next September will see a headquarters there where men from the University may not only make their home, but receive advice regarding business conditions as well.

Officers and directors for the year 1922 are as follows: J. Lynch Pender- gast, president; John G. Agar; James A. Farrell, F. X. Alglin, Martin Conboy, and Thomas E. Murray, vice-presidents; J. Lynch Pendergast, acting treasurer; Leo V. Klauberg. secretary. Directors for L922: Outerbridge Horsey, Walter Kernan. John J. Kirby, George McNeir, Conde R. Pallen, Alex I. Rorke, and lames F.

Defeats Boston College, Fordham, and Holy Cross In Fast Mile Relay—Ray Beats Connolly In Invitation

Mile Event.

THE RELAY TEAM AND THE CARDINAL O'CONNEU* TROPHY

KlNALLY, LEGENDRE, BREWSTER, MARSTERS

The track team kept up its record and captured the third trophy in a week last Saturday night in Boston at the Knights of Columbus games, when the relay four, composed of LcGendre, Brewster, Kin- ally, and Marsters, took first place in the Catholic College relay championship and brought back the Cardinal O'Connell trophy.

Sport writers had conceded the race to Boston College with scarcely a dissent, for a few weeks ago Bos on College had decisively defeated Georgetown and Holy Cress, and lake Driscoll, the speedy sprinter, was in his prime, and looked good enough to overcome almost any handicap. The Georgetown combination, too, was new. and not much was expected of it. as the men were tired from their strenuous effort the night before at the Convention hall meet.

However, the Blue and Gray runners fooled them all. LeC.endre started the first relay, and got away to a good start. The four men were hunched closely, and on the second turn Wilson of Host.in Col- lege and Fitzsimmons of Holy Cross came to grief. They collided and

.led. LcGendre and Eddie Parrel, the Fordham entry, were clever enough to avoid the mix-up, and, side-stepping the pile-up. they sped on. Wilson and Fitzsimmons recovered immediately, and were going at top speed before the other pair had gained more than thirty yards. Then LeGendre's real supremacy showed, and with a great burst of speed he tore away from the other three runners and

the handicap he had gained by the spill look small. At the end of the relay he had a lead of about ten yards on the

Fordham runner, with Holy Cross some yards hack, leading Boston College.

Aleck Brewster took the baton and sped on, maintaining the lead. Nelson of Fordham made several efforts to pass him, but lanky Aleck was equal to meet them all. The four runners sped around the saucer as if they were parts of a ma- chine, and the relative positions changed hardly at all, except in the last few yards Bill "Nolan of Boston College made a great recovery and nosed out Maguire of Holy Cross, taking third place.

Marsters ran the third relay, and ran a wonderful race. Disregarding his competitors, he set his face to the front, and just tore. Hammer of Fordham was running in this relay, and the highly touted Maroon runner was expected to take the lead in his relay, but be never even saw Marster's heel. The Deering lad simply walked away from him and banded over a thirty-yard advantage to his teammate, Kinally. Mclntyre of Boston College had crept up slightly on the Fordham runner, while Tierney of Holy Cross was out of the running entirely.

Then came what the crowd was wait- ing for—could Captain Jake Driscoll of

on College, on/ of the speediest sprinters in New England, overtake Kin-

and Mooney with such a handicap? Driscoll tried. Spurred on by the shouts

crowd, lie tore up the track. He caught up with Mooney as if the Maroon flyer were tied, and set out after Kinally. Yard by yard be came up. but too slowly, and Kinally, running desperately, shot

• the tape full twelve yards in front of the famous Driscoll.

THE H O Y A

£be ftower of fitters

I was strolling in blissful solitude along the left bank of the Boiling Booze river, the longest and warmest fluid body east of the Mississippi and west of the Saskatchewan. To be concrete, its course lay through the jungles and arid deserts of Hungarian Somaliland, a wild and little-explored territory near Abys- sinia and Palestine Minor. As I have already confided, I was quietly peram- bulating by the side of the turbid stream calling the Boiling Booze, when my eyes' attention was grasped by a commotion taking place on a very peculiar-looking craft anchored not far upstream from me. As I approached it to ascertain the cause of the fracas, I remarked inwardly that the thing appeared to be a Turkish dinghy with no walls and a tin roof. On coming abreast of the contraption my impression was verified. But it took me several moments to make out the identity of the scrappers. Flavin had a heavy red beard, Florence wore the traditional uniform of a Hungarian tax collector, Goggin was tanned and bald, while Car- ney, it seemed, had just been thrown overboard for high crimes and misde- meanors. The boys explained that they had been having a quiet game of three card draw, using pollywogs for chips. Everything had been as smooth as Che- neys silks until somebody discovered Carney snaring pollywogs from the river with his handkerchief tied on the ex- tremity of a broomstick. In this way he had been able to sweeten the pot without any trouble, and to freeze out his less affluent opponents. After obtaining their promise not to molest him further, I threw George a Lifesaver and hauled him aboard, much chilled and chastened. While he was entering some dry clothes, Flavin, who seemed to be the captain of the craft, whistled for our supper, which appeared straightway from below decks, borne on trays of virgin gold by swarthy Hindustani youths. There was stewed herring, and boneless buzzards; Egyptian plum-bread, and other such extraordinary dishes. We dispatched them with true Georgetown- ian alacrity, after which the skipper blew up a wind, hung out the sails, and transported us to the Pyramids, where the weekly Cairo tea-dance was in pro- gress. When we had seen them home —they lived in Alexandria, hardby—I was very hospitably invited to sleep aboard ship. My couch was of down- iest swans, and I snored blissfully for uncounted hours. I might have been sleeping yet, only Curly stuck his head in the door and bawled:

"Last call, ten of!" And they all lived happy ever after.

Josh Wise says: Even the best of men will slip on a banana peel if they step on it.

Mitb tbe Debaters

At the regular meeting of the Gaston Debating Society last Monday evening, March 6th, the question for debate was "Resolved, That the honor system in ex- aminations should-be adopted in Ameri- can universities and colleges." The negative side of the debate, composed of John A. Manfuso, '24, of New York, and Ed- ward J. De Castro, '25, of New York, won over their opponents of the affirma- tive, Francis J. O'Connor, '24, of Maine, and Edward J. Duccy, '24, of Michigan.

Individual honors for the, debate were awarded to Mr. O'Connor, while the general opinion of the society favored the adoption of the honor system in the universities and colleges of the country.

In the absence of the Reverend Chan- cellor, Mr. Anthony Guenther, S. J., who is recovering from an operation for ap- pendicitis at the Georgetown, the Rev. Vincent S. McDonough, S. J-, acted as temporary moderator of the society and spoke to the members upon the value and importance of the public speaking which the members are mastering in the weekly debates of the society.

The White Society held an extempo- rary debate on the same evening at its weekly meeting. The president of the society announced the question for debate as "Resolved, That the new schedule of studies at the College should be continued," and appointed the speakers for the evening. Francis Mahoney, '24, of Massachusetts, and James G. Burke, '24, of Louisiana, composed the affirma- tive side; Thomas A. Pallen, '24, of New York, and P. C. O'Brien, '24, of Ohio, made up the negative side. As the debate was extemporaneous, no vote of the society was taken upon its merits.

"Resolved, That the Federal Govern- ment should take steps to abolish the Ku Klux Klan" was the question before the Philnomosian Society at its last meeting of Friday, March 3rd. The affirma- tive side of the proposition, after a heated argument, was judged the winner, defended by Louis C. Boisliniere, '23, of Missouri, and John Gillen, '24, of Ohio. The negative side of the debate was de- bated by John L. Quinn, '23, of Massa- chusetts, and Arthur F. Lynch, '22, of New York. Mr. Boisliniere was voted the best individual speaker of the evening.

After the regular debate, the question was thrown open for a general discussion, which instigated many sharp points of argument between the various members of the society.

INTERCLASS LEAGUE Standing of the teams:

W. L Pet. Freshmen 2 0 1.000 Juniors 2 0 .666 Sophomores 1 2 .333 Seniors 0 3 .000

JUNIORS, 28; SENIORS, 7.

Last Wednesday afternoon the Juniors sent the fourth year team down to an overwhelming defeat, running up 27 points easily while the Seniors were garnering three field baskets.

Malley starred for '23, running wild on the floor and scoring six field baskets. McNally was the only Senior to show results, netting all of their points on three field goals and a foul shot. At half time the score stood at 16-0.

FRESHMEN, 30; SOPHS, 15.

The Frosh ran away with the Sopho- mores Monday afternoon, playing rings around '22 and winning easily. The score might have been much larger, but the youngsters took things easy when they acquired a lead.

THE OBSERVATORY. The astronomical observatory of

Georgetown University is one of the oldest institutions of its kind, having been built at the same time that the Naval Observatory was built. The oldest observatory in America, that at Williams College in Massachusetts, is but seven years older than the one at Georgetown. It was in 1841 that the faculty of the college decided to erect the observatory. The Rev. James Curley, S. J., professor of physics, to whom the undertaking was due, was appointed to choose the site and to draw plans. The money was secured by contribution from the members of the faculty.

The site chosen was a hill about four hundred yards due west of the college which combined the advantages of position and seclusion. The slopes on all sides are quite abrupt and the view is re- markably line. The plans for the building were drawn and the first instruments ordered in 1841, the excavations were begun in 1843, and three years afterwards the first observations were made. The building erected by Father Curley was so solidly constructed and so convenient in its arrangements that even today it is sat- isfactory and few essential changes were necessary when it was recently renovated.

In 1845 the meridian circle, which is used in computing the latitude, arrived aand was installed. A five-inch equatorial was added in 1849, and that completed the equipment for some time. In 1890 much new equipment was added. A new equatorial of twelve-inch aperture and a new nine-inch photographic tran- sit instrument was put in. In 1891, a floating zenith telescope was installed. This made observation much easier and more accurate.

The observatory has enabled many of the men who were on the faculty of the College to make valuable studies of the heavens which have been of much assist- ance to astronomers in general. Father Curley was the first one to determine the latitude and longitude of Washington. His statement was accepted by the government, and in later years when the cable had been successfully carried to England, it was found that his compu- tations were but three-tenths of a second out of thee way. Many books which are of value to the astronomer have been published by the directors of Georgetown Observatory, many of whom have been men whose leadership in that science is recognized by all. ()ne of the directors, Father Benedict Sestini, began observations of star col- ors in 1849, the manuscript of which is preserved in the library o fthe observatory. In 1850 he made drawings of the sun spots from September 20 to Novem- ber 6, missing only six days out of the forty-eight. The drawings were litho- graphed and together with a journal pre- face were published in the appendix of the Washington astronomical observations for 1851. After this the observatory seemed to drop out of sight for some time. The trouble was that it was being used only in conjecture with class work of the students. However, in 1888, just previous to the centennial celebra- tion of the college, the directors of the University decided to restore the observatory to its former position. Father Hagen, an Austrian by birth, was placed in charge and he immediately acted to raise it from an institution for instruction only to one where original research might be made and where the work done might be worthy of the Uni- versity. It was at this time that many new instruments were installed, and the entire building renovated. In 190(> Father Hagen ended his work at George- town, as he was called to Rome by the Pope to take charge of the Vatican Ob- servatory, where he has increased his fame in the science.

SUCCESS.

The track meet held last Friday evening at Convention Hall was a great success. There was never a hitch, everything running according to schedule. It was so well run, in fact, that the crowd, which, by the way fulfilled the predic- tion of the HOYA that Washington was willing and anxious to support the right kind of an athletic event, was at no time allowed to relax.

This was due to the efforts of Jimmie Mulligan, who was in charge of the affair. Jimmie was everywhere, starting races, settling discussions as to what was what and why, and seeing that things went off smoothly in general. Thus once more Georgetown is indebted to Jimmie Mulligan for services rendered.

One of the main features, that of finances, was a huge success, far beyond the fondest hopes of the Athletic Asso- ciation, in view of the great expense connected with the meet.

There were many very interesting events, chief of which was the medly race between Georgetown and Navy. It was an excellent race and in doubt until the very end. Another great race was the Navy Plebs against the Virginia Fresh- men. The southerners were the victors, displaying form far above the average.

The Georgetown Relay Carnival is an annual affair, but due to the war has not been held in the past few years. Its re- establishment has meet with great approval and the coming years should see it one of the biggest indoor meets in the country.

WEARING THE "G."

The manager of one of the major sports has called our attention to the fact that the men in the school who have won their "G" very seldom wear them, and then with their sweaters inside out so that the letter is not exposed.

This is rather a bad state of affairs, one for which there is very little reason. The men have, somehow or other, been given the impression that no one cares whether or not they are possessed of a "G," and they feel that they are flaunting themselves before the public, asking for praise, as it were, when they wear their letter.

Nothing could be further from the truth. We will venture that there is not one man in school who has this thought. The possession of a "G" is a mark of dis- tinction, and those who have won them should wear them whenever they feel so inclined. The fact that there are being fewer of them awarded only makes the honor of winning one of them greater.

There is, of course, no obligation to wear these letters, but we feel sure that the students do not want the men who have "G"s to think that they are so small as to entertain any such thoughts as men- tioned above.

MORE VICTORY. The track team goes marching on.

After winning everything in sight Fri- day night, the relay team, composed of LeGendre, Masters, Kinnaly, and Brew- stcr, boarded a train for Boston and captured the Cardinal O'Connell trophy, by defeating Holy Cross, Fordham and the strong Boston College teams.

Every step counts as piece by piece these men build the greatest track record Georgetown has ever had. They have a hard schedule ahead of them—one that is going to demand all the stamina and courage they possess if it is to be successfully completed. They have the ability; all they need is the support of the student body and they will continue to bring home the cups.

BOMBS AND THINGS.

An editorial appeared in these columns last week which seems to have caused considerable agitation among the casual collegians of Michigan Avenue. The following is a letter received by one of the Hilltop students. For obvious reasons the names of the parties concerned have been deleted. Having corrected the spell- ing, we give it to the mercies of our printer: "My Dear :

"Many thinks for the copy of the recent issue of the HOYA, containing the marked editorial, "Proms and Things." In spite of the fact that you were my guest at the Trinity Dance, as I was yours at the Junior Prom, I find it hard to believe that the editorial mirrors your own sentiments. Undoubtedly there is a certain element at Georgetown capable of feelings such as the article expresses. But I know there is a majority, of which you would be one, who consider the article much as we do: a poor attempt at humor.

"You, I do not believe, have any affili- ation with the paper. The editor—I take it he is responsible—I do not know.

(Heaven is kind.) Consequently we must accept the editorial as printed. Had we knowledge of the attending circumstances, possibly a more coherent and fairer re- ply would be possible.

"At least the perpetrator of the article is honest. He says 'the Trinity Prom, we are told, would be a revelation to us.' Well said, after that dance at Rauscher's. And as to casting aspersions on the Trin- ity Prom, our cynical writer should re- member his Burns :

" 'Oh, wad some power the giftie gi'e us To see ourselves as others see us. It wad frae many a blunder free us, And foolish notion.'

"If its revelation he's looking for, he ought to hear the commen's about that Georgetown Junior Prom. The dear boy should realize that a dance where 98 per cent of the males have bowed to Bac- chus does not meet with the anproval of even the modern girl, Scott Fitzgerald to the contrary notwithstanding. Be- cause you hire an expensive orchestra from Atlanta does not excuse you from observing the laws of decency. I use thi' word 'decency' advisedly.

"It isn't 'funny' that the Trinity Prom comes before 'our own.' Even the excellent reputation of'the Trinity Alumnae couldn't secure us a hall after 'your own,' for the various managements would fear lest some of your number be present.

FR. DONOVAN GIVES FIRST LENTEN LECTURES

Treats of- St. Peters and Vatican In Opening Talk In

Gaston Hall.

The first of a series of Monday lectures was conducted by Rev. Francis Regis Donovan. S. J.. in Gaston Hall on March 6. The largest crowd that has at- tended any of the lectures so far this year was present on Monday. All were enthusiastic with the entertaining way in which the subject was handled. Father Donovan in his extensive travels seems to have been able to pick out interesting details in appearance, customs, and manner of living of the people he has vis- ited, and present them to others in a fas- cinating manner, thus giving to his audience what is most worth while without burdening them with matter neither interesting or instructive.

The subject for the lecture was "Rome, St. Peter's and the Vatican." Father Donovan in treating his subject took up first a general survey of the city from the Pincian gardens, including the Castie of St. Angelo, and the piazza and por- tico of St. Peter's. He then turned to its wonderful interior, mosaics, dome, and monumental tombs. The Sistiue Chapel and the Vatican Library with all its literary treasures were next con- sidered, before treating of the actual residence of the Pope. Everyone on leaving expressed the opinion that they had been privileged to view the Papal surroundings from a new viewpoint that had never been opened to them.

Father Donovan will deliver his second lecture next Monday upon the subject "Belfast to London."

"Where there is no sense, There is no feeling."

The HOYA has very little comment to make on this masterpiece. We compli- ment the writer on her literary ability, and pro/er our thanks to the recipient of the letter, for its use. In conclusion, we ourselves might say that in the latter part of the letter the writer deigns to become didactic, and admits the inad- visability of entertaining an evil influence. Our own thoughts exactly. Wherein, then, is the argument?

Last week an editorial appeared in these columns requesting that the students of the University patronize the ad- vertisers of the HOYA. It was a serious appeal and one that must be responded to if the paper is to continue. There is one more thing which the business department deems it wise to call the attention of the subscribers to. That is the payment of the three dollars that many of them owe the TIOYA. It is a fact that a great number of the subscribers have not as yet paid. This the HOYA realizes is merely a matter of neg- lect, but at the same time one that could very easily be avoided and the money could be used now, easily as well, and probably much better than later.

John Earkin, who was a student at Georgetown in 1900, is now connected in an official capacity with the University of Dayton at Dayton, Ohio. He has been doing notable service, especially in con- nection with the new Training School for ex-soldiers, which has just recently been established at the University mainly through his efforts.

RELAY TEAM CAPTURES TROPHY Continued from page I.

Jimmie Connolly entered in the mile. which was the Ray handicap and the K. C. invitation mile combined. There was one man with a handicap of 110 yards, and several with eighty yards, and the handicaps proved a little too much for Jimmie. Joie Ray, Jimmie Connolly, Hal Cutbill, and Sanborn of Massachusetts Tech all started from scratch. Cutbill and Sanborn found the pace too stiff for them, and dropped back. Ray and Connolly fought it out nearly all the distance. Near the finish Ray cut away from Jimmie, passed two men who had eighty yards handicap, and took first place, leaving Captain Jimmie in fourth. Connolly gets credit for second in the K. of C. invitation mile, as Mahoney and Merriman, the men who finished second and third to Ray, were not entered in this event, and the races were combined.

The Cardinal O'Connell Trophy is a new cup, offered this year by the Boston prelate to the Catholic college, which shall first win it in three separate races. The cup is a beauty, two feet tall on a mahogany base, silver, and engraved with a seal of the Knights of Columbus in gold relief, and the words "Catholic Col- lege Relay Championship."

The HOYA regrets to announce the death of one of the oldest graduates of the Georgetown Medical School, Dr. lobn -A. Malony. Dr. Malony died on January 31st at his home at Dundee, N. Y. He was a member of the class of 1870 and had retired for the past few years, after completing a very successful career in which he brought honor to himself and credit to his Alma Mater.

offered by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company of Boston for the best answer to Mr. Edison's question, "Who Was John Hancock?" has been awarded to LeonV.Quigley,astudentatthe Worcester (Mass.) Polytechniclnstitute. This answer, giving a correct, concise and comprehen- sive statement of the position occupied by John Hancock in American history, is printed below in full.

'Who Was John Hancock?" JOHN HANCOCK was an American statesman and patriot.

His signature is found on the oldest and most important documents of Massachusetts, and of the United States. He was

the first signer of the Declaration of Independence and was the first Governor of Massachusetts.

John Hancock was born at Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1737. He graduated from Harvard College, and entering upon his uncle's business became a successful merchant in Boston. He gained much in social power and in wealth, being meanwhile justly popular for his integrity and ability.

He was in 1765-1770 a selectman of Boston and a member of the general court. With Samuel Adams he led the Massachu- setts Whigs, and only escaped capture at Lexington and Concord by virtue of the valiant fight by the Minute Men on the "Nine- teenth of April in '75."

John Hancock was subsequently known in various positions: as President of the Continental Congress, as Major-General of the Massachusetts military forces, as President of the Constitu- tional Convention. He died at Quincy, Massachusetts, October eighth, 1793.

The historical position of John Hancock is unique in State and Nation. He wielded great political influence but was always liberal and public-spirited. His name is most prominent as a Whig leader during the American Revolution in such events as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the battles of Lexington and Concord.

John Hancock signed his name first to the Declaration of Independence. He thus risked his own "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" that these privileges might be obtained for others to enjoy. To this end he "pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor."

That he was popular and efficient may be judged from the fact that he was for ten years Governor of Massachusetts, being elected annually to this office by popular vote.

John Hancock insured the life of the nationa- lise will insure uour life with the same integrity

GEORGETOWN CLEANS UP BIG MEET FRIDAY

Indoor Intercollegiates. The first annual indoor intercolle-

giate championship meet which is to be held Saturday night at the Twenty-second Engineers' Armory in New York City, will have among its entries a delegation of wearers of the Blue and Gray, who will endeavor to keep up their good work of the past few weeks by romp- ing away with some of the laurels of the evening.

Heading the Georgetown delegation is -Captain Jimmy Connolly, intercollegiate mile champion, who just now is running in top form. "Smiling Jimmy" will be entered in the one-mile run and the Blue and Gray captain will make an attempt to annex the indoor intercollegiate title.

Connolly will oppose practically the same field of runners that competed in the outdoor intercollegiate champion- ships at the Harvard stadium last June, but from present indications he should experience no trouble in copping the title. Penn State will be represented by Larry Shields, Columbia by Walter Hig- gins, Harvard by Ted Burke, Lafayette by Bob Crawford, and several other widely known college milers will line up to face the starter.

Bob LcGendre, intercollegiate penta- thelon champion, is 'entered in the 50- yard low hurdles race, as is Lyle Tullar. These two men should make their opponents step for first honors, and it would not be surprising to see LeGendre and Tullar in front in the final. Tullar has been showing well of late and his victory in the timber-topping events at the Georgetown games last Friday night was a noteworthy feature. LeGendre is also in good shape at the present time and but for a bit of hard luck in Friday night's games would have given a good account of himself.

LeGendre and Tullar are also entered in the 70-yard dash. They will most likely oppose Harold Lever, of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, and Leconey, of Lafayette, who just now are two of tne fastest dasn men in the collegiate ranks.

The Hilltoppers two-mile relay team which last week won the South Atlantic championship by defeating Virginia in easy fashion, will seek the intercollegiate title over this distance. The Georgetown combination is probably the smoothest balanced team of any college in the country, and every man of the quartet is dangerous. With Captain Connolly running anchor. George Marsters, Aleck Brewster and either Fitzgerald. Higgins or Books in the other positions, the Blue and Gray will have a team that should force their way to the front position. It would not be at all surprising to sec this group negotiating the distance in close to eight minutes. Con- nolly, Marsters, and Brewsters, all are capable of doing better than two minutes for the half, and if the fourth man runs true to form Georgetown should cover the distance in winning time.

This quartet composes a team that any college would be proud to boast, ana we expect them to bring back the bacon in almost as good a fashion as did the medley distance relay team in Buffalo several weeks ago. If the competition is keen and the Georgetown four runs true to form the record for this distance should be lowered by at least a couple of seconds. The University of Pennsylva- nia team, composed of George Meredith. Larry Brown. Holden, and McMullen, will be one of the strongest contenders for first honors and if the Blue and Gray can best the I'inn quartet victory should be certain. The Red and Blue two-mile relay combination set a new

record for the Illinois carnival last Sat- urday, covering the distance in eight minutes, one and two-fifths seconds. Be- sides the Penn team there will be several other strong combinations entered and the race is expected to be one of the features of the games.

Blue and Gray Athletes Garner Forty-four Points

to Win.

Track Team Wins Three Tro- phies in a Week.

When the Georgetown one-mile relay team defeated Boston College Holy Cross, and Fordham in a special race at the Knights of Columbus games in Bps- ton Saturday night and gained the first leg on the Cardinal O'Connell trophy, it marked the third time in a week that the wearers of the blue and gray had won a silver loving cup for their work on the hoards. The Hilltoppers won the first trophy at the Johns Hopkins game by making a clean sweep of the meet. Last Friday night, at the Georgetown games, the Blue and Gray again was the highest point scorers of the night and copped their second" trophy. After their hard work in Friday night's games, the relay team and Captain Jimmy Connolly en- trained for Boston, arriving in the Hub City at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. On paper, the team had but a slight chance of defeating their opponents and it seemed hard to be optimistic over the outlook. Georgetown had previously been defeated by Boston College and Holy Cross and was not counted upon to figure heavily in the running. Yet Georgetown not only won the race over her rivals, but won easily, and in so doing the beautiful Cardinal O'Connell cup, which was donated to the Massachusetts Knights of Columbus by the Boston prelate, became the possession of George- town. In order to obtain permanent ownership of the cup, however, a college has to win the championship race at the K. C. games three times. The trophy will remain on the Hilltop for one year at least and from the present outlook it should rest at Georgetown permanently. 'Pino winning of the Boston race made the count three victories and three cups and no losses in a week's time, which isn't such a bad score. The indoor season will be closed Saturday night, when the Blue and Gray representatives will compete in the indoor intercollegiate champion- ships in New York City.

Outdoor Baseball Practice. With the return of good weather to

this section of the country, the battery candidates for the Georgetown nine had their first outdoor work of the season last Monday afternoon. Yesterday the candidates for the other positions on the team were summoned out, and from now on Varsity field should be a busy place. In other years Georgetown has always been outdoors earlier than the present time and usually was one of the first colleges in this section of the country to start outdoor work. Coach O'Reilly will probably inaugurate an intensive train-

\ stem to make up for the late start, as the first game of the season is less than three weeks away.

The battery candidates who had been working out in Ryan Gymnasium for the past three weeks are much improved since their firs! day's work-out and most of the kinks and stiffening caused by the

hibernation since September are now a thine of the past. Captain Bill Ken-

and his men are anxious to get down to real business, and the cry of "play ball" will In- welcomed. George first game is on March 24th with the Naval Training Station at Norfolk, Va. The Hilltoppers arc scheduled to play two

Georgetown, acting as host last Friday to two hundred athletes from twenty- five colleges, schools and clubs, ran away with its own track meet, scoring 44 points, far outstripping the Univer- sity of Maryland, which came second with 11 markers.

Although the score was one-sided, there were plenty of thrills during the evening, one of the biggest being Cap- tain Jimmie Connolly's performance in the mile, when he plowed through a congested field from his lone position at scratch, overcoming handicaps of twenty-five, thirty, and forty yards, and won in a great sprint, downing Booth, of Johns Hopkins, by five feet. Another came in the mile relay between George- town and Navy, a sprint medley. Curtis, Navy's star miler, was running the 880 against Marsters, and had about forty yards to overcome when he received the "baton. With a beautiful stride, he set out after the Georgetown freshman, and cut the distance down foot by foot. Mar- sters battle gamely, but the experienced miler from Navy had the goods. How- ever, at the last lap the little freshman showed a great burst of speed, and meeting Curtis' last sprint, held him off and won by about five yards.

The last event, supposed to be the high spot -of the evening, was the Georgetown-Virginia two-mile relay— the first time the two universities have met in competition since 1913. How- ever, as a thriller it fell flat, for Vir- ginia never had a chance, and Jimmie Connolly, running the last relay, had yards and yards to spare after running an easy half.

The evening opened with the 50-yard dash, in which it was necessary to run nine heats, on account of the huge entry list. Georgetown came through wonder- fully in the heats, six men qualifying, and LeGendre, Kinnally, and Gilmore came through in the semi-finals. In the final LeGendre got away to a good start, and crashed through to the finish line well ahead of his team mate. Kinnally, with r>ernie Wefers, Jr., of the N. Y. A. C, third.

The next open event was the half-mile, and Robertson, of Maryland, captured first after running a pretty race. How- ever. Jack Sellers, of the N. Y. A. C, was the star of the race, cutting down handicaps of twenty-five and thirty yards, to finish second, closing in a great sprint which would have won for him if there had been ten more yards to go. Ed. Higgins, Georgetown's representative, came in third after leading most of the way.

Beers, Maryland's husky, took the shot put with a heave of 42 feet, 654 inches. LeGendre pressed him closely, taking second with 42 feet. al/2 inches. Moro- ney, of Georgetown, took third place.

John Feeney came through hard in the high jump, out-jumping Opie of Navy, besides winning by the handicap. Fee- ney's distance was 0 feet, 1 inch. Boat- wright, of Gallaudet, was third, witli 5 feet. 5 inches.

In the first heat of the 50-yard hurdles Bob LeGendre struck the first timber, tripped and fell, Huckins of Navy taking the heat easily. Georgetown thought its chances in this event were gone, hut a dark horse appeared in Lyle Tuller, who took his heat by ten feet in 6 ;.' 5 seconds, and repeated this time in the final, beating out McDonough, of the Baltimore C. C, a famous hurdler.

Jimmie Connolly then did his solo stunt, starting from scratch in the mile, with competitors strung out for forty yards in front of him. Jimmie jumped with the gun, and got ahead of four or

five low handicap men, and jogged stead- ily in this place for a lap or two. He began to move up slightly then, and for three laps passed man after man, his smooth stride cutting down the lead almost imperceptibly. Finally it was seen that Booth, of Johns Hopkins, and Jim- mie were to be the only contenders, and Connolly passed his rival without much trouble. Booth challenged repeatedly, but Connolly always had a little sprint left, and they stuck together for five laps. Booth made a desperate attempt to pass Jimmie in the stretch, but the Georgetown flyer came through with a great sprint which met that of the Hop- kins man, and distanced him by a few yards.

The 600-yard novice run was captured by Shepherd, of Navy, Walstrum, of the Fifth regiment running a close second.

The 440-yard run was rather difficult to stage, there being many entries and several good-sized handicaps. However, there was not much jostling, and the bunch was well scattered by the end of the first lap. Wiggie King got away to a flying start and kept his lead up with some pretty sprinting, but on the last lap his shoe came off and Clinton Gray, his teammate, nosed him out at the tape.

Volkmoor had little trouble in annex- ing the pole vault, the last open event He had beautiful form and skimmed over the pole up to 10 feet, T inches. P'eeney, with a handicap of 1 foot, was an inch behind, and Robertson, of the Washington Canoe Club, was third.

Of the twelve odd relays, the most interesting was the contest between the N. Y. A. C. four and a picked team from the South Atlantic colleges. The race wasn't close, but it -was interesting to watch, when the four speed kings of the northern club cut loose. Kelly, Hig- gins, Leslie and Wefers tore around the track without a hitch, and were never pressed by their southern opponents. The time was 3:55 2-5 ; rather fast for the small track.

Navy had little difficulty in beating out Pennsylvania in their mile relay. Hop- kins had a harder time in downing Le- high over the same distance, the lead see-sawing several times, and the Balti- moreans just did win out by a few feet at the tape.

The Virginia freshmen had a tight race with the Navy plebes, over the one- mile route. The lead went back and forth through* the race, and on the last relay Belote, of Virginia, sprinted and got ahead of the last Navy man and kept his small advantage to the end.

Most of the other relays were one- sided contests. The Southern Boys' Club won by default from the Baltimore C. C.; Johns Hopkiris reserves won han- dily from the Maryland freshmen, and Virginia reserves. The Baltimore C. C. cleaned up the Washington Canoe Club and the Mohawk A. C.

The scholastic events were cleaned up by Central High School, of Washing- ton, which took all but one point in the open events, and won three relays.

The summary : Fifty-yard Open: First heat—Won

Seen at tbe flDeet

Some convention ! And what a "haul" for Georgetown. The defeat of Bernie Wefers in the

mi-yard dash by Bob LeGendre and George Kinally, was one of the big sur- prises of the evening. Young Wefers has been beating about everything that came his way this present season, with the possible exception of Bob McAllis- ter, New York's "Flying Cop." and few- thought that his measure would be taken Friday night. Although LeGendre had a half yard handicap it seemed he could have won as well without it as the the margin between him and Wefers was well over a yard.

hat from Brodt's. In winning the high jump Feeney, who measures in the vi- cinity of five feet five inches, defeated several men who towered over him. One fellow in particular, a six-footer from the Navy, found much difficulty in clear- ing the bar and more than one specta- tor remarked at the ability of the Georgetown man in topping the stick while taller fellows than he could not make the grade.

A Boston sport writer who saw Le- Gendre run on Georgetown's one-mile relay team at the B. A. A. games, said Bob was a good all-around athlete but he didn't get around fast enough. Too bad he wasn't on hand Friday night; he might have had a different opinion. LeGendre's dash in the sprint medley was a big factor in the Blue and Gray victory.

The big one-act comedy of the night ■was enacted in the cheering section, shortly after the first heat had been run off. Someone, feeling his position none too secure as a result of the necessary inconvenience caused by the finish of the short dashes, betook himself to a more safe section of the stand. Tiny Kim- ball, who had been long searching for a place to rest his avoidupois, settled himself in the recently vacated seat, and with a big smile on his face eagerly awaited for things to get under way. He was priding himself on his excellent good fortune when the gun barked for another heat in the fifty-yard dash and it was not long before "Tiny" realized that he was not so well off. But, good fellow as he is, he held his ground like a man and more than.one runner used him as a cushion, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. The next time John goes to a meet, however, he intends to seek a seat in the gallery and we hardly blame him.

LeGendre had rather hard luck in the hurdles. The big fellow got away to a good start but hit the first hurdle low, knocking it down and disqualifying himself. The pentathlon champion flashed great form in the dash and furlong events, however, and as usual the big fellow was one of the leading point scorers.

John Feeney had a big night. The former junior national high jump champion copped first place in his specialty, and finished second to Volkmar in the pole vault. Feeney and LeGendre were the high individual point scorers of the night and each of the two received a new

Barron, who ran for the Baltimore Cross Country Club, is a brother of Har- old Barron, the Penn State College hurdler. He has done better than 52 seconds for the ciuarter mile, and showed good form in Friday night's games.

The next time Wiggie King runs he is going to be well supplied with shoe laces. King ran second in the 440-yard dash and was just nosed out at the tape by Clinton Gray, a team mate. Wig- gie's lace became loose on the first lap and at the close of the battle he was minus shoe and all. Lost by a foot, or rather a lace.

In 1912 Abel Kiviat, the far-famed mile runner, of the New York Athletic Club, ran a mile at Convention Hall in 4 minutes and 32 seconds. At that time the track had banked corners. Con- nolly won his race in seven seconds slower time than Kiviat, but oldtimers who saw the 1912 race claim that Kiviat did not have to contend with as large a field as the Blue and Gray star and many maintain that Jimmy could have equaled this mark Friday night.

Walter Volkmoor looked pretty in the pole vault. It was the first time that many Georgetown supporters saw the new Blue and Gray vaulter in action, and even the most sanguine predict a great future for the Californian. Volk- moor reached 10 feet, 7 inches without any effort, and should go much higher before the season is over.

David I. Walsh, United States Sen- ator from Massachusetts, who holds an honorary degree from Georgetown, was one of the interested spectators at the meet. Senator Walsh is an ardent ad- mirer of Georgetown athletics, and is on hand at most every athletic tilt that the Blue and Gray warriors are entered in.

Bernie Wefers, Sr., the old George- town star, who is the holder of intercollegiate record for the 100-yard dash, and several other short-distance marks, was in attendance at the meet and ac- companied the New York A. C. team. Wefers is coach of the Mercury flyers, and takes a great interest in track, especially in the efforts of his son, who was defeated by LeGendre in the 50-yard dash.

G. U. UNION COUNCIL MEETS SUNDAY A. M.

Plans Formed for Monster Ball To Be Held After

Easter.

Last Sunday morning in the Riggs Library of the College the General Council met to plan the Georgetown Union's program for the remainder of the scholastic year. Among the various topics discussed by the General Council was especially interested in planning to hold a University Fancy Dress Ball and Masquerade some time in the early part of May. It was decided to throw the matter before the general meeting of the Union next Sunday before any definite action is taken. The advisability of hold- ing such an affair, the General Council believes, will be determined considerably in the general discussion of the matter when the various members of the Union will be asked to state their views.

The aim of the Union is to hold a ball at which the members of all the various schools of the University will at- tend. Although nothing official will be announced until the General Council knows the attitude of the student body towards such an affair, the General Council feels confident that the sugges- tion will meet with the enthusiastic approval of the entire University.

In the event that the ball is arranged it will in all probability be held in the New City Club of Washington. It is the intention of the General Council that subscription for the ball be very low to insure a large attendance from all de- partments of the University.

Next Sunday in Gaston Hall at ten- thirty o'clock the regular monthly meeting of the Union will be held. The speaker for the occasion will be Rear- Admiral William S. Benson, U.S.N., retired, who had been prepared to speak at last month's meeting but could not appear on account of illness. His subject will be: "The Merchant Marine and Our Foreign Policy." As is the custom of the Union, the meeting will be pre- ceded by a mass in Dahlgren Chapel and breakfast in the Ryan Refectory. The Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, S.J., faculty representative on the Union, will speak at the mass.

SOVIET RECOGNITION IS YALE-G. U. QUESTION

Yale Debating Team Comes Here For First Debate On

March 19.

The question for the Georgetown-Yale debate, which is to be held Sunday evening, March 19th, in Gaston Hall, has been submitted by Yale, "Resolved, That the United States, Great Britain, France, and Japan should recognize the present Soviet government in Russia." George- town has selected the negative side of the question.

The team which will debate against Yale is composed of Sylvan J. Pauly, '22, of Montana; John S. McCann, '22, of Maine; and Joseph A. McGowan, '22, of Indiana. Robert J.
