CLEVELAND ALUMNI GIVE ANNUAL DANCE

Hotel Cleveland Scene of Bril- liant Function During Easter Week—Four Hundred Guests Attend — Unique Favors Ar- ranged by James A. Butler, Chairman of Committee.

On Tuesday evening, April 22nd, the second annual Prom of the Cleveland Chapter of the Georgetown University Alumni Association, was held at the Hotel Cleveland. Following the extraordinary success of the Prom held last year, the function held Easter week surpassed even last year's in splendor and excellence. The committee of which Mr. James A. Butler, A. B., '21, was chairman, met weekly at the Chamber of Commerce for several months in order to perfect the de- tails of the affair. No effort was spared to make the occasion one of the most successful social functions ever given by Georgetown Alumni.

Covers For 400.

Covers for lour hundred guests were set in the ball room of the Hotel Cleve- land, where the entire mezzanine floor was given over to the occasion. After the banquet dancing followed a well arranged program for the remainder of the evening. Johnston's Orchestra, a well-known and excellent organization, furnished the music. Decorations were in the Univer- sity colors with Georgetown banners fes- tooning the walls.

Beaded Bags Favors. Unique and attractive favors for the

ladies were imported beaded bags, care- fully selected for their harmonious Mend- ings of color. The programs embossed with, the College seal in blue andgray as souvenirs of the occasion, contained the lists of the chaperones, the hostesses, the committee and the names of the. sub- scribers who attended the dance. The proceeds go to the University Endow- ment.

The committee, to whose efforts the success of the occasion may be attributed, consisted of Messrs. James A. Butler, sec- retary of the Alumni Association, chairman ; Bernard S. Brady, Joseph C. Breitenstein, Edward T. Butler, Jr., Harold E. Foster, M. Foran Handrick, Paul M. Miller, Charles M. Matting- ly, and Timothy Welch.

The list of hostesses consisted of: Miss Ann Breitenstein, Miss Marion Brickel, Mrs. Antoinette Callaghan, Mrs. John A. Coakley, Miss Mary Coughlin, Mrs. Ger- trude'F. Handrick, Mrs. Dan A. Hoynes, Mrs. Joseph B. Keenan, Miss Sally Kegg, Miss Ann McAnerney, Miss Edith Mil- ler, Miss Charlotte Mix, Miss Mary L. Mulrooney, Mrs. Eugene Quigley, Mrs. Wm. J. Raddatz, Mrs. Joseph L. Sulli- van, Miss Camilla Tierney, Miss Eleanor Tierney, Miss Geraldine Winter, Mrs. J. Paul Zens.

The chaperones were: Messrs. and Mes- dames Bernard S. Brady, Edward T. Butler, Charles M. Mattingly,, Samuel J. McNally, M. P. Mooney, Robert E. Mooney, P. C. O'Brien, Timothy Welch.

SAFFARANS RECEIVES COMMISSION.

The Georgetown R. O. T. C. Corps has already qualified one man for active service in the United States Army. Mr. Wil- liam C. Saffarans, of the Senior Class, cadet major, has been commissioned as a second lieu- tenant and will leave to take up his duties shortly after graduation.

The annual inspection of the R. O. T. C. Corps, by the War Department has been postponed until May 26-27.

GEORGETOWN INVADES PHILADELPHIA FROSH WIN MILE RELAY CHAMPIONSHIP

HILLTOPPERS ROUTE YALE BULLDOG

Jones Lets Yale Down With 9-2 Loss—Urann and Sukeforth Bang Out Four-Base Clouts— Old Eli Never Threatening.

Snowing under Yale's best moundsman, the Georgetown University nine swamped the visitors from New Haven by a score of 9 to 2. The Hilltoppers just_ ran things their own way and after a pair of home runs by Urann and Hagerty and some sensational fielding called the day a Blue and Gray victory.

Coach O'Reilly's athletes had little trouble mastering the Old Eli hurlers. Richardson, the first choice of the visitors,, served them just as the Hilltop lads wanted them. The pill went off the Georgetown bat time and again for clouts that materialized into runs. Jones on the mound for the home lads had the situa- tion well in hand at all times. The Yale batsmen collected eight hits but the home stretch was only run by two men during the entire contest.

Urann's fielding together with the excellent demonstration Hagerty gave offered opportunity for spectators to wit- ness some clever ball playing.

SENIOR PROM TO TAKE PLACE SOON

Willard Scene of Annual Dance. Novel Favors Obtained. Bar Harbor Orchestra to Perform. Tickets, $11.00.

On Friday evening, May 9th, the Sen- ior Class will hold their annual "Prom" at the Willard. Ben Selvin's Bar Harbor Society Orchestra has been secured for the affair and it is expected a large number will sway to their syncopating strains on the Willard Roof. The committee headed by Mr. George Burke, has completed extensive plans for the occasion. All that remains now is to await the arrival of the day. Extraordinary favors have been procured and prove an added attraction to the dance. Tickets for the affair, $11.00, are on sale and may be obtained from Mr. Burke, or any of the members of the committee.

Blue and Gray Barely Nosed Out From First Honors. Dowding Wins Broad Jump. Plansky Takes Third in Pentathlon. Frosh Team Wins Relay Championship.

Probably the greatest galaxy of track stars ever assembled in the East was that of 4,000 collegians and prep school aspirants that gathered on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, last Friday and Saturday, to display its wares in the keenest of competition. And notably great among this multitude of cinder-path lumi- naries was Georgetown University. But greater still were the accomplish- ments of the wearers of the victorious Blue and Gray silks. On more than one occasion Hilltop runners were literally but inches from the eagerly sought gold watches offered for top honors, but because of an opponent was able to step the distance in time just a shade faster, Captain Marster's men had td content themselves with second honors.

S. A. Race Close.

In Friday's running probably the bat- tle that waxed hotest was the South At- lantic Intercollegiate A. A. 1-mile relay championship. Once again it brought the ancient rivals, Virginia and Georgetown, together. Both quartets struggled valiant- ly for a win. Both fours extended themselves to the fullest, and not until the last stretch did Georgetown admit of defeat at the hands of its Charlottesville opposition. The time favoring winning team was 3:212-5, a new race record. Georgetown was second. Virginia's men averaged just a little under 51 seconds, and Capt. M. T. Bohannon, premier quarter miler, covered his 440 in 0:49 3-5.

In the final analysis the race was won in the last lap. In the first three laps there was little to choose between the two teams. Georgetown enjoyed a 4-yard advantage until the last lap due to the fact Castleman, Virginia's first man, er- red in transferring the baton and attempt- ed to give it to' a G. U. man instead of his team mate. The 4-yard lead, and little, if any more, was what Burgess carried into the last lap. Bohannon did not make his move until the back stretch. He then collared his man as the two runners were rounding the far turn. He did not gain another inch for the next hundred and twenty yards. It was in the last twenty yards of the race that his su- periority told, and Virginia's colors forg- ed ever so slightly ahead of Georgetown's and another epic chapter had been written by the two institutions.

G. U. GRADUATES BANQUET IN N. Y.

Two Hundred Members of Alum- ni Organization Present. Mr. C. F. Kelly, president of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co.., is Principal Speaker. Fr. Creed- en Unable to Attend.

On Saturday evening, April 12th, the New York Society of Georgetown Alum- ni held their annual dinner at the Hotel Biltmore, New York City. About 200 members of the organization were present, the largest attendance ever record- ed at this popular affair. Among the more prominent in attendance were the Rev. Frs. Nevils and Walsh, Mr. James A. Farrell, President of the United States Steel Corporation, Mr. C. F. Kelly, Pres- ident of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, principal speaker of the evening, and Mr. George McNeir, Chair- man of the Georgetown Endowment Drive Committee of New York.

Fr. Creeden Unable to Attend.

The Rev. John B. Creeden, S. J., Pres- ident of the University, was unable to attend the affair. Fr. Creeden, however, sent a letter to Mr. Donn Keresey, con- gratulating the members on their work and expressing a hope that action would soon take place regarding the securing of permanent quarters in New York.

The speeches were opened by the address of Mr. Donn Keresey, head of the New York Alumni. He spoke of the need of co-operation between the Alumni and student body and the means to be used in accomplishing this. Mr. Keresey's speech was followed by that of Mr. C. F. Kelly, the principal speaker. Mr. Kel- ly gave an interesting talk on the position of the college man in industrial and social life.,

The dinner was held in the very attractive breakfast room of the hotel and a tasty menu was served. The affair was accorded to be highly successful and the committee is to be congratulated on the result of their hardwork.

Individual Events. In addition to the many relays Coach

John O'Reilly's men shared trophies in some few individual events. Big Tony Plansky captured third in his specialty, the Pentathlon, while Harry Helme finished fourth over the 2-mile route, won by Verne Booth, of Hopkins' fame. Ver- non Ascher failed to show in the 220 dash exhibition.

Looking over those running against him Helme let Booth and a couple of others set the pace, but at all times being ready to increase speed or stride when the Bal- timorean did. In the final lap, when Booth moved up. Helme moved with him. On the last turn it even looked as if Helme might get first place, but that he would certainly finish second. Two men passed him in the stretch and finished be-

MR. FRED. K. NIELSON ADDED TO FACULTY

State Department Man Becomes Law School Professor—George- town Graduate to Take Vacant Chair in International Law— Was Chairman of Committee at Arms Parley.

Georgetown University alumni, in and out of Washington, an- elated ever-the appointment-of-Frederick K. Nielson, of the State Department, as professor of International law, at the Georgetown School.

Since the days when "Coach" Nielson was a conspicuous figure in Georgtown football circles, Georgetown has followed his career in the realm of international law with no small amount of pride.

When the chair of international law became vacant, Mr. Nielson was the unanimous choice of the Georgetown authori- ties. He is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Nebraska and of the Georgetown Law School.

Mr. Nielson is a present on the Brit- ish-American claims commission and dur-

TH

ing the Versailles peace conference, he was attached to the American delegation to deal witrr-rnatters relating to treaties claims against enemy countries and the protection of property in enemy countries. He also served in other important posi- tions during the diplomatic negotiations in Europe, following the war.

Served at Arms Parley.

During the Washington conference on the limitation of armament, Mr. Nielson served as chairman of the committee of jurists, American and foreign, and was later appointed by President Harding as agent and senior counsel of the United States in the American-British claims arbitration, which is conducted under a treaty concluded between the United States and Great Britain in 1912. Last fall Mr. Nielson argued several cases before the International Court, sitting at London.

F. T. CHAMBERS LECTURES AT F. S.

Interesting Talk Accompanied by Slide Illustrations—Consulting Engineer of War Department Guest of F. S. Class.

On Tuesday evening, April 15th, the class on Ports and Terminal Facilities, Herbert W. Gruber, lecturer, had as a special guest, Capt. F. T. Chambers, Con- sulting Engineer on Rivers and Har- bors for the Corps of Engineers of the War Department.

Capt. Chambers, with the aid of a number of slides, gave an interesting and in- structive lecture on Shed Equipment, Transfer Facilities and Mechanical Cargo Handling Equipment. The lecturer has had considerable experience in port.work both in this country, as well as in the European countries, and was, therefore, able to compare the facilities and practices existing at ports on the two continents.

This lecture, the third of a series of special lectures, was well attended.

Mr. Edward Mosehauer, of the Metal Sales Corporation of New York, spoke before the class in Staple Commodities not long ago.

"A Good Showing." The Perm Relays have been held many

times since last Saturday,—countless races have been run on legs of words and upon the wide track of retrospect.

Despite the "ifs" and "might-have- beens," despite the loss of victory by nar- row margins in several events, George- town was well represented at Franklin Field. The account of the accomplish- ments of the wearers of the Blue and Gray is contained in detail on another page, but mere statistics do not tell of the significance of the final summing-up.

The Georgetown men carried themselves through two gruelling days with a spirit that brought forth all that was in them. Represented in most of the major events, the Hilltop runners were prominent in all. It is to be noticed that Georgetown placed in more events than any other institution competing. The vic- tories in the broad jump and the Fresh- man Relay Championships have received deserved attention.

The track team has won the esteem and the gratitude of all Georgetown, not by fulfilling previous optimistic expecta- tions, but by carrying out a gallant task with a spirit that typifies the University.

1924 Presents-

It is the custom at the College for the graduating class each year to do something for the institution, to leave behind something worth while as a parting gift.

This year the Class of 1924 plans something most unique, something truly representative, a product not only of monies, but of time, energy, and labor. It will take the form in general of a play, yet not a play in the ordinary sense. The intention is, while not as yet absolutely and completely defined, to present a pro- duction that is original and distinctly Georgetonian. The men of 1924 will write it, play, stage, and finance it.

Some ninety men are unanimous in their whole-hearted support of what at present seems a really "big" thing. As this

is written we have assurance that a large number of graduates have already offered their services, and that many of the faculty have individually encouraged the plan. With the completion of weeks of research work and writing, the class will, in the near future, present the entire work to the faculty for consideration.

It is to be hoped that this spontaneous effort for the greater good of Georgetown will win the reward of the approval and the active aid of the whole faculty as a body.

Alumni from all parts of the East cheered Georgetown at the Pcun Relays. Together with the many undergraduates in attendance, the Blue and Gray was as well represented in the stands numeri- cally, as on the cinders in athletic prowess.

Building for the Future.

We receive, among the incoming bills, a lair share of the unending flow of political propaganda that is now bothering the Post Office Department of every village and hamlet in the land. We presume that someone will soon perceive that one party leads the other by one circular letter and two pamphlets.

Regardless of the consequences, however, we have taken notice of one pamph- let which seems worthy of more than the passive consideration of the waste basket.

The Republican Party, with a fine eye for the years to come, has organized Republican clubs in many of the colleges of the country. Under the direction of the National Committee and a special Di- rector, these societies have for their pur- pose the promotion of "student discussion of national issues through addresses by speakers prominent in public life, and the education of the college man and wo- man in the fundamental principles of the Republican Party."

It is an easy matter to interest the college student in the nation's politics; the purely educational features of the Repub- lican activities are praiseworthy and will, no doubt, have their good effects. In the light of recent revelations however, and considering present political conditions generally, it would seem that the modern curricula need no additions for the guid- ance of the college graduates in the political sphere. The teaching of the class- room will have more and a better in- fluence upon the politics of the future than the propaganda of any party.

Further congratulations are in order for the Philadelphia Alumni under the lead- ership of Dr. Joseph M. Spellissy, who entertained a host of Georgetown men at luncheon at the Hotel Normandie last Saturday.

The Senior Prom.

Spring at Georgetown could never be solely a time of preparation for final "exams." Budding trees and warm moon- light nights waft an indefinable essence to young senses that calls with an irre- sislable urge. A happy medium is the only treaty that can settle the struggle between the demands of duty and the soft pleadings of pleasure. No one named the first Senior Prom a happy medium,—although in years gone by, many epithets have graced its dignity. Yet it does serve as a final occasion for a function which adequately satisfies the seeminglv insatiable desire for "one more good party."

This year the Class of 1924 plans an affair that will measure up to the glorious memories of the Proms of the past. The Committee is said to have done at least the unexpected, and seems most confident that all buyers will realize ample re- turns. As usual, we believe the learned linguists and, in the supposition that some two hundred others will join us, the affair will undoubtedly and "de facto" be- come the success now promised.

Getting Hcquainteb wftb 1924

Francis C. Sullivan.

After the brief interlude Of Easter holidays, the reporter returned to find the old typewriter neatly brushed and comb- ed. This week ladies and gentlemen, we are about to interview the firmest be- liever in, and the strongest subscriber to,

■the Congressional Record. This is no laughing matter.

Frank Sullivan, otherwise known as Ole Olson, has absolutely nothing to say for publication, but agreed to allow the reporter to "extend his remarks." He hut recently returned from a voyage in the Blimp and shows few or no ill effects from the trip. "With this great advance

ring," Frank said, "our motto should be 'balloon tires for the BLIMP'."

1'h" usually black shroud of secrecy which surrounds the telling of Frank's state of residence has been pierced. It was with reluctance that he admitted he lives in the same state that has made Magnus a Senator. It is rumored that Frank was once heard to remark: "Mag- nus a Senator? Why. that's absurd." A reward will be granted to any person who can solve whether the "absurd" re- fers to that which comes before or after the "a" in the first sentence of his remark.

Frank does not spend all of his time in reading the Record . . . some is spent in improving the mind. He has a table reserved every night at Wardman Park, on the opposite of the room from the one usually occupied by Broph P. B. Brophy. Studies claim no little attention, and lately he was observed making reservations for a secluded seat in the Study Hall. (It is significant to note that the amusement tax has been lifted from all tickets of admission to the Studv Hall.))

As is usual in the lives of all great men there is one weakness in the character that Frank has moulded for himself • ■ . he is a noisy gum chewer. At any hour of the day or night (Special Thursday Matinee) he may be found noisily reclaiming- the merits of Spear- mint or Black Jack. The reporter knows well this weakness and was stunned at

Frank's refusal of the offered pack. "No, thanks." he said, "I just ate a large red apple." The sentence probably has some hearing on >< me sort of an investigation.

Some people, who are probably right, will class I ther weakness: golf. In Mr. Sullivan, however, it is not fair

insider it a weakness. While he p'ays at it eve anmer and i- a veritable slaw t the'ess when the ruthless frosts of winter set in, he hardly ever touches a club. How unlike J. I.. Gillen, who is never

without a mashie. 1 made a slave to him. He has refused

to give ires except in round num- bers. Last snmmer he played 4,000

is than a thousand holes. tics do not lie, but experts can

work wonders with them. In the winter he likes indoor sports.

A smashing game of checkers or a thrilling duel at lawn tennis before a roaring log fire, or the more whist fill bat- tle of wits at bridge is sufficient to take up the time between issues of Record. Frank's secret ambition is to get the ad- vertising privileges of that publication. He wants to do something to make it surpass its astounding popularity. He oftens cuts full page advertisements out fi the Saturday Evening Post and pastes them in the Record.

Little has been said of the motoring activities of this victim. He is a con- spirator in a motorcycle syndicate. It runs on Tuesdays, that is. some Tues- days. Other Tuesdays are just like any other day of the week.

It is a well-known fact that a motorcycle can attain a speed of ninety miles an hour, although there is some doubt as to whether this speed is entirely for- ward or up and down. Judging by em- barrassed posture Frank maintains on Wednesday morning there is some sug- gestion that the speed is up aiTd mostly down.

\- the rush of repetitions is now well begun, the reporter will have to learn to return to the perusal of philosophy. Before doing so there is one remark more: "I wish to extend my remarks in the Record."

WITH THE STUDENTS OF FOREIGN SERVICE IN EUROPE Granada and the Alhambra.

We arrived in Granada in the early evening and went immediately to the Hotel Victoria for a good rest for on the morrow we were to see the last stand of the Moors in Spain. It is the usual custom for the Alhambra to be open in the early morning and as we wended our way round and round to the summit of this magnificent hill on which stands the Alhambra, we were surprised to see the number of people who had been there earlier than we. We were deeply interested in the number of students of literature and art, who had taken the advantage of this historical setting to study. It seemed as if every place one went he would find student after student with his book, or his brushes getting inspiration in the magnificent and inspiring sight of this ancient palace of the Moors. We, too, began to feel the atmosphere and as we passed through the La Puerta del Vine, we realized the great setting which we were about to enter. After having pur- chased our tickets we entered the Patie de Los Mirtes y Torro de Comarech, in the large Patio there was a beautiful sunken garden, and a beautiful pool.

One could not help but be inspired by the magnificent architecture of the Mi- rader de Lindaraja. En la Sala de las dos hermanas, and the Patio de los Leoncs. Or perhaps the interior de la Sala de Justicia, or perhaps the Templete de Lavante, or maybe the interior de la Mezquita, would enthrall one more. La Sala de Embajaores with its gorgeous swimming pool and columns caused one to conjure at the pomp and ceremony that must have been fulfilled in this room. The world only contains one Alhambra and the charms of its graceful arcades, romantic gardens, and nightingale-haunt- ed groves shrouded as they are in the poetry, legend and song, will continue to exercise enchantment over the soul of the visitor. The generalise, built by the Moors just above the Alhambra and opposite was the summer palace of the Moors. It was here that the ill fated Beabeil was supposed to have watched the defeat of his army. One could not help putting himself in the position of that Moorish king and thinking as he may have. A vast stretch of fertile fields a magnificent valley, a view that was seen through the misty eyes as he turned away knowing that it was all lost to him and his people.

Emphasizing the fact that the country today needs men well trained in the field of the chemical science, he pointed out that a student should endeavor to get some insight in the business world as relates to the sources, method and uses of the many chemicals on the market today.

The West Virginia University nine went down to defeat at the hands of the Blue and Gray baseball team, when the score showed a count of 12 to 0. The blanked West Virginians lost everything in the first inning. Their starting moundsman was hammered all over the field by the O'Reilly batters. Captain Eddie Mur- phy led off with a homer to right field and almost every other man on the Blue and Gray nine connected with the Vir- ginian hurler. The visitor's second twirler offered some resistance but the support given him was ragged. Bad throws and untimely hits, which were few, did not register a tally for the West Virginia University lads.

Jones, the Georgetown pitcher, had an easy matter on his hands. The opposing nine could not connect with his fast shoots at all. The support offered the Hilltop hurler every stopped ball the visitors let off their bat.

Just when you're hurrying the most — zip! and away goes that shaving cream cap. The new cap on Williams ends the nuisance forever. It's hinged on and can't get lost.

In shaving, too, Williams has just as noticeable im- provements: Williams lather is heavier and more closely woven. It holds the water in against the beard. Result: quicker softening. Williams lather lubricates — no irri- tating friction. Last, Williams is decidedly helpful to the skin. It keeps your face comfortable no matter hew heavy your beard and how tender your skin.

GEORGETOWN STARS TOO MUCH FOR W.VA.

Mountaineers Succumb to Blue and Gray Tracksters. West Virginia Wins Only One Track Event. Paul Herlihy's 440 Run Is Feature of Meet.

Georgetown University won the dual hieet with West Virginia, on April 19th, by the score of 82-52. With the ex- ception of the field events, the Blue and Gray athletes found little difficulty in winning as practically all the running events were won decisively. The only track first the Mountaineers secured was D'Aiuto's win of the century in 102-.">. D'Aiuto's tiiBe was very good considering the soggy track, resulting from the down- pour on the previous day.

West Virginia Shows Well.

The Mountaineers made an excellent showing in the field events. Barnum, an all-round athlete won. got a second in the discuss, the hammer throw, and placed in the javeiin. Tony Plansky was Georgetown's best bet in the field events. 1U won the discuss and the shot-put, and placed in the javelin and running broad jump. Doweling annexed the broad jump for G. U„ with a leap of 22 ft. 8^ in.

Helme Wins.

Harry Helme, who, it is expected will come home ahead of Vernon Booth, at the Intercollegiates next month, easily won the two mile run in 10 min. 9 sec. Faulkner and Connelly of West Virginia, opposed him but failed to force him as the G. U. star breasted the mark 220 yards ahead. Faulkner took second with ap- proximately the same distance lead over his teammate. Willie Sullivan won the mile in a walkaway. Calloway, the only West Virginia entrant, never threatened the Blue and Gray miler.

440 Best.

Paul Herlihy's win of the 440, was perhaps the most sensational thing of the day. The G U. star in the rear until the last 50 yards, overtook his teammate, the fleet Ray Haas, to win by two yards. Herlihy's time was 5:15 flat. The Moun- taineer participant finished last.

A special 220-yard race, arranged for the benefit of the spectators, between Vernon Ascher, one of the best 440-yard dash men in the country, Cashman,, and McLean, was won by Ascher in 23 seconds. Summary:

LEATHERNECKS LOSE HARD FOUGHT GAME

Alberts' Single Scores Winning Run for Blue and Gray — Georgetown Noses Out Ma- rines in Close and Interesting Game—Sukeforth Bats Out a Homer.

Planting a neat single in right field, Sam Alberts enabled the Georgetown Uni- versity nine to triumph over the Quanti- co Marines by a score of 6 to 5. Alberts' timely bingle came in the ninth inning, when the count was a deadlock and Urann occupied the second sack on a walk and stolen base. As the Blue and Gray bat- ter connected with the ball Urann was on his way home and crossed the plate before the Leather Necks could recover their balance:

It was a close and interesting contest throughout the entire nine frames. Both teams being effective with the bat. Two of the Marines' tallies came by way of homers, when Hall and Chenoweth connected with one of Brennan's shoots. The day looked dismal as the eighth approach- ed for Georgetown. The land and sea men seemed to sow up their sails and count the day victorious. It was at this period that Kyle, who had been twirling excellent ball, started to weaken and O'Reilly's men compelled him to retire in favor of Balis, after Sukeforth sailed one to right field for four bases, sending home ahead of him Urann and Al- berts.

However, the Marines came back in the last frame and evened matters up. Jen- kins, who relieved Brennan on the mound, then tightened up and ■ held the Devil Dogs to the even tally of five all. It was then Alberts won the day with tw-o out and Urann on second that made the count six for Georgetown.

MASS. INVADERS RECEIVE SETBACK

Crimson Outfit Loses, 8-4—Hill- toppers, With Jenkins Twirl- ing, Have No Trouble Downing Harvard Nine—Jenkins Hits a Home Run.

The heavy hitting Harvard baseball team was forced to turn in its tracks and be satisfied with a defeat from the hands of the Georgetown University nine by a score of 8 to 4. Victory came to the Hilltop outfit from the very start when Coach O'Reilly's men sighted the Crimson pitcher from every angle and collected bingle after bingle in a fourth-inning rally and tabulated six of their total of eight runs.

True to form the Harvard batters were not to be out done. In the early part of the game Burgess connected with one of Jenkins' fast ones and put the medium in the greens of far away right field. Gordon followed his teammates clout with another four base counter in the fourth, then things went on the slag for the Cambridge players. Homer Jenkins in a timely part of the contest, lifted one of Casto's burners for four a circuit clout, sending Hagerty home before him.

tween him and Booth. They being Ler- mond of B. C, and Phelps of Iowa. The time was 9 :40 !-.">.

In the Pentathlon, Plansky, of George- town, a logical contender for top honors, had to be satisfied with third honors, yielding first place to West. W. & J.'s great colored athlete, with Frieda of Chi- cago, taking second.

Plansky won only a single event, that being the discuss, tossing it 116 ft. 4lA in. He was third in the 1.500 meters, fourth in the javelin, seventh in the 200 meters, and eighth in the broad jump. West's total was 13, Frieda had a count of 21, and Plansky's figure was 2:!.

Penn State Wins.

One of the most severely felt blows that the Georgetown runners suffered Fri- day, was in the final event of the day, the American College championship sprint medley relay race. One of the greatest drawbacks from victory was the fact Georgetown drew position 19 of a possi- ble 201 I't ini State, the winner, ran from lane number 11.

As the race was run, Burgess, who ran the quartet in the initial ..phase of the race, was left a little behind. It took heroic work on the part of Dowding and Haas, running a 220 each, to laud the Blue and Gray in second place, and then Capt. George Marsters was asked to make up 20 yards or more on Knck. the Penn State star, in the final lap. It was vir- tually impossible.

.Marsters' effort was of the most sincere nature. He cut down the gap consider- ably, probably as much as 10 yards, and at one instance it looked as if he might actually challenge Enck. The Cambridge University team took part in this race. The foreign colors were prominent in the

| first quarter, dropped back in the 220's. and came back again in the half. Lowe, running last for the British Light Blue,

'ran a pretty race, but the best he could do was to finish third, as about far behind Marsters as the latter was behind the victorious Penn State man.

Georgetown's other showing Friday was in the quarter mile college relay, which brought but six representative teams to the mark.

Syracuse, with its greatly celebrated Mister Bowman on its team, looked like the best bet, but the race proved to be between Columbia, running from position 1. Georgetown and Chicago. The initial G. U. speedster got Dowding away fourth on the exchange. The latter improved one place and Thompson, who was the same relay with Kappisch, Columbia's star, got Haas, who ran the final relay for the Hilltop, away in second place. Haas made a spurt that threatened to overhaul Starkey, Columbia's last run- ner, but could not quite make it.

Dowding Wins Event. Georgetown came in for a lion's share

of honor Saturday for William Dowding, erstwhile St. John's Military School's national interscholastic broad jump cham- pion, captured first place with a long leap of 23 ft. 10rA in. on slow dirt. The other victory was that of the fighting little Frosh team. This quartet composed of McLain, Eastman, Swinburne and EstcvOz displayed much promise for Georgetown's future success in track.

Louis Estevez, running Georgetown anchor position, had a gruelling fight be-

him to break the worsted tape in imnt of Ralph Colson, Univ. of Penna. yearling star. But this task the George- town first year luminary did well.

Another feature of Saturday's accom- plishment; was the taking of second in the 2-mile varsity college event won by Boston College, which school clipped 1 :l-5

Is from the world's mark and whose individual performers averaged 1 :5R9-10 for the 880 distance.

Georgetown had a fine chance to win but unfortunately popular Johnny Holden, Hilltop ace, who has been running l ;57 all winter, tied up completely and the

EAST0N SLUGGERS TRIUMPH OVER G. U.

Second Defeat in as Many Days Administered to Georgetown—■ Eastonians Display Unbeatable Brand of Baseball—Ryan and Urann Secure Best Bingles for Blue and Gray.

Georgetown University met its third defeat of the season when the powerful Lafayette College nine triumphed by a score of 5 to 2. The jinx seems to have entered the Hilltop diamond and held its ground as this was the second defeat the Blue and Gray nine suffered in two suc- cessive days.

After the second frame the contest turned into a pitching duel between Jen- kins and Yeisley. Excellent support was given both hurlers but the breaks seemed to favor the visitors and the visitors conquered the day. A quintet of runs in the early part of the game gave the Easton lads the jump and they never let go of their hold.

Ryan, the Hilltop second sacker, and Urann, the Blue and Gray sturdy short- stop collected the best bingles for George- town. These two netted the only count the O'Reilly men got. Several times the home lads made the base trip but they always failed to send the pill for a ride at the opportune time and score their men.

The Lafayette machine worked nicely and held its own in good form never fail- ing to jump at the breaks and score at a timelv moment.

William F. Moran, B. F. S., '23, who is with the Department of Commerce in Xew York, was a visitor at the Delta Sig house last week. He expects to return to Washington shortly and resume his studies at the ' School of Foreign Service.

Mr. Dudley Harman, editor of the well known travel books written by Mr. Frank G. Carpenter, was the lecturer before the class in geography recently. Mr. Harman gave an excellent survey of the distinguishing features of Canada and Newfoundland, in which he stressed points hitherto unknown to most of his hearers.

best he could do was 2:02 for his half. Marsters. running last tried to cut down on Tom Cavanaugh of B. C. but the ..mount of daylight between them was too great. Cavanaugh's time also was 1 :57 4-5.

Penn State, the previously favored four for top honors, trailed Georgetown to the tape while the much heralded Cambridge outfit followed Penn State in. B. C.'s time was 7 :47 3-5.

Boston drew position 11, Georgetown 5, Penn State 6, and Cambridge 13, in this 2-mile run.

From the 4-mile event, handily won by Harvard, Georgetown was forced to withdraw owing to the grave illness of Willie Sullivan, outstanding factor on the Hilltop quartet.

LEWISTON OUTFIT PULLS BIG SURPRISE

Visitors Upset Dope When They Hand Georgetown Nine a Set- back—Pound McCarthy and Tabor, While Wolfe Baffled Georgetown Batters.

Not only did the Hilltop team receive a surprise but also the Lebanon Valley baseball nine when they defeated the George- town lads by a count of 7 to 3. The visiting pill throwers pounded McCarthy with a lucky eye and upset all the dope on the baseball turnings. Tabor relieved McCarthy but the Lebanon lads upheld their plucky spirit and in all collected ten hits for the day's contest.

Wolfe baffled the Georgetown hitters with his twisters. Quinii, Ryan and Mc- Carthy were the only players to hit safe- ly for the Hilltop club. Lebanon's rally in the seventh frame netted her four runs which was started by the hurling Wolfe of the visiting team. Uptigrove and Wolfe connected and covered the. four sacks for homers. This gave impetus to the Lewistown University nine and they succeeded in making their total seven, when the final inning came.

Georgetown had a hard day, perhaps one of the most complicated since the baseball season has opened. Things just would not go the infielders' way and the gloomy jinx invaded the diamond, and chalked up the second defeat of the season for Georgetown.

In this age of electricity the General Electric Company has blazed the trail of electrical pro- gress. You will find its monogram on the giant generators used by lighting companies; and even on the lamps and little motors that mean so much in the home. It is a symbol of useful service.

HENRY CAVENDISH 1731-1810

English chemist and physicist, of whom Biot said, "He was the richest of the learned and the most learned of the rich. His last great achievement was his famous experiment to de- termine the density of the earth.

He first made water from gases

Henry Cavendish, an eccentric millionaire recluse, who devoted his life to research, was the discoverer of the H and the O in H20. In fact he first told the Royal Society of the existence of hydrogen.

He found what water was by making it himself, and so became one of the first of the synthetic chemists.

Cavendish concluded that the atmosphere contained elements then unknown. His conclusion has been verified by the dis- covery of argon and other gases. •

The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have found a use for argon in developing lamps hundreds of times brighter than the guttering candles which lighted Cavendish's laboratory.
