Team Meets All Expectations.
Schedule Not Completed.

That Georgetown viii have a basket
ball team that will be able 70 cope with
anything in the country is the honest
conviction OF many who have seen the
Blue and Gray aggregation In action In
their practice games at the Ryan gym
Yesterday mornings was the hardest
yet ana there was fast and furious play
on all sides. The men displayed ex-
cellent form for so early IN the season,
and when the regular five get TO working
IN better unison they Will be hard 10 beat
At times the team work was little
ragged, but when one takes into con-
sideration that the men have been out
for a week only and that at present there
is new man in the lineup. these minor
faults can be overlooked

not throw a basket, he viii be a valuable
man for the team and will surely hold his

OF baskets, having eight 10 his credit
Capt Jim CollidOwer and his brother
George were close to SchlOsser IN their
acc VI dCy TOT NiIbWluE EodsS, making a
total Of five and six, respectively. For
the reserves, Cogan, Kingsley, and Spen-
Ger put up a stellar game. and made the
first team hustle all during the contest.
During the first half the points scored
were IA 90 IN favor OF Capt. COllihow-
er' S men, but during the second half they
played better basketball and the final
score was 40 to 10.
A complete schedule has not been made,
but Manager Burdick announces that he
will finish some time this week. At pres
ent FIVE games WIN be played away from
home. Two have been scheduled with
Virginia one here and one at CharlOttes-

Ways Of The French Tramp.

The ways of my companions would
have made them laughing stocks to
American roadsters. They look for
ward to no three full meals day. The
hope of s'set down" never intruded on
their field of vision. In fact, they con-
sidered that the world was going very
we'll with them II they collected daily
sous enough for one or two lunches OF
bread and wine. Yet wine they would
have, except for breakfast, or they re.
fused even to eat bread. Like almost all
who tramp any distance in France, they
'splayed the merchant" and were much
surprised to learn that ventured along
the highways of their country without
doing likewise. That is, they carried
over one shoulder bundle containing
couple of dozen of cheap shoe strings, a
few packages Of thread, needles,
thimbles, and similar articles in demand
among rural housewives. The demand
was really very light. They did make q
sale of two or three sous worth here and
there, but the market value Of these
wares was their least important utility
By carrying them the miners evaded the
strict laws against vagrancy and the
soliciting of aims. Without the bundles
they were beggars; with them they
ranked as "peddlers. 1t was a ruse
that deceived no one, not even the
gendarme. But it satisfied the letter OF
the law.-Harper's Weekly.

The Supreme Gift.
(John Burroughs in the Atlantic.)


Man has no wings, and yet he can soar
above the clouds; he is not swift of foot,
and yet he can outspeed the feetest
hound or horse; he has but feeble
weapons in bis organization, and yet he
can slay or master all the great beasts
his eye is not so sharp as that of the
eagle or the vulture, and yet he can see
into the farthest depths of sidereal space;
he has only very feeble occult powers of
communication with his fellows, and yet
he can talk around the world and send
his voice across mountains and deserts;
his hands are weak things beside lions
paw or an elephants trunk, and yet he
can move mountains and stay rivers and
set bounds to the widest seas. His dog
can outsmell him and outrun him and
outbite him, and yet his dog looks up to
him as to a god. He has errinR
reason in place of unerring instinct
and yet he has changed the face OF the
planet.
Without the specialization of the
lower administrator wonderful adapta
ton to particular ends-their tools, theil
weapons, their strength, their speed
| man yet makes them all his servants
His brain is more than a match for al
the special advantages nature has giver
them. The one gift of reason makes
him supreme in the world.

Jonn BarIeycorn and Progress.

The great current fact about alcohol is
the length and breadth and intensity of
the current fight against it. AS we see
it, it is a very imperfectly intelligent
fight, but it is impressive in its scope and
vehemence. A large majority of our
people, and doubtless of the people Of
every other civilized country, are not
drunken, and they are tired of having
the people who are drunken loaded upon
their backs to be carried. So far as the
problem can be solved, it Is going to he
solved; we believe that. The energy to
solve it is available. Through wise
means or foolish that energy Is likely to
work on, and to win improvement
whether by mistakes or by successes. 1t
is seen almost universally that John
Barleycorn is in the way of human
progress. He must get out of the way.
That the use of alcohol can be abolished
we have no idea, but we have hopes that
it is going to be vastly more consistent
with the best interests of humanity than
it has ever been, and that in the cOnrse
of the next fifty years.-Harper's
Weekly.
