Columbia defeated the Georgetown
basketball team in hard fought strug-
gle in the Columbia gymnasium last night
by the score OF 81 10 L. Both teams
played a slow game and much time was
lost IN pickering over the changes in the
playing rules The Columbia five played
an inconsistent game. probably because
the strong defence Of the Georgetown
players effectively broke up the team
work
II was not until near the end OF the
first half that much scoring was done
and then Columbia ran up a lead Of seven
points. Georgetown held the home play

Who Stole
The Earth"
CHAPTER Lv.-(continued.)
By W. Holt White.

He felt quite sure that Langley
would obey his instructions to the let
ter. and therefore he had practically
nothing to do except consider what
measure of hubbub there would be In
the morning when Paris again discov-
cred that the airships were over 1t.
He knew the king OF Bahama far
too we'll to imagine that his majesty,
having failed to capture him on the
doorsteps OF the Grand hotel, would
content himself by merely returning
TO his rooms and inveighing against
him In impolite language.
His majesty was too well acquainted
with the power OF the press to ignore
the tremendous assistance which would
be given In the search for Strong
should he call In the help OF the news
papers.
And so Strong. as he slipped his
liquor and settled down to the quiet
enjoyment OF cigar. conjured up IL
his minds eye a picture OF the king
detailing all the circumstances OF the
incident and all particulars of Strong s
appearance to an enthusiastic circle
OF reporters.
