The Eternal Question.

They are never pleasant to talk
about-these narrow escapes. II is
best TO forget about them as soon
after they have occurred as possible,
for they get on the nerves. and things
that get on the nerves are not good In
aviation 1t has always struck me as
odd that almost the first question the
average man will ask aftef he has met
me is
what was tho narrowest escape
from death you have ever hadY'
This Is simply another manifesto
ton Of that morbid desire for thrills
at another mans expense by demand
ing feats the aeroplane was never in
tended to perform. The aeroplane has
its limitations, and they are, so far,
very narrow ones. 1t will do certain
simple things very well and II not
pushed too hard is not great deal
more dangerous than manufacturing
dynamite or being picked out by the
Black Hand
The late Ralph tombstone recognized
this clearly, and he once said, ut will
get us all some day" ut" got him
Just as 1t has got many another good
man who is trying to advance the
new science. but these are the things
that 1t is best for us not to think
about.

Just the same. But such accidents
bring home to us the awful danger

we have to keep constantly pushing
such thoughts out of our minds"

the instinct that comes with long train

experiences in the air, but there are
two instances that have left upon my
memory stronger impressions than all
the others. regard them rs my two
closest calls.

Tug Furey announced yesterday that
he was through with the basketball
game for this season. He has not been
a regular candidate for the team. but
after the Christmas vacation practiced
sufficiently to enable him to break into
the New York University game. He was
not discouraged over his showing. as he
played one of the best games played by
a Georgetown man thus far. His reason
for giving the sport up Is that he may be
in the best possible condition for the
baseball team. Furey Is the popular
choice for catcher the coming season.
and would be foolish to run himself
down after his already hard football
training.
With Furey and King, who is laid up
with a broken nose. out of the game. the
guard positions have narrowed down to
Heiskell, Barriscello. and Monarch.
HeiSkell has played a consistent game,
and thus is almost sure to hold down
one guard.
When Georgetown stacks up against
Gallaudet at Kendall Green on Saturday
they are sure to be greatly surprised at
this years team compared with former
years. The game should be a hot one
from start to finish. An extra attraction
will be Georgetown freshmen against
Gallaudet Reserves. The freshmen will
be weakened by Kings loss, but has two
good substitutes in Duffey and Driscoll.

The six most popular bowling teams in
the DiStrict-three duckpin and three
tenpin-have a treat in store for them.
The lucky ones who send in to The
Washington Herald the greatest number
of votes by March >, will be rewarded
by a free trip to Buffalo and either
silver loving cups or cash. The three
teams to Buffalo are open to only the
tenpin teams while the cash and silver
loving cups are to be competed for by
the duckpins quints.
The only stipulation made is that any
team which wishes to enter the race
must be a regularly organized team in
one of the leagues of this city. This
ruling is made. not TO bar social clubs
who have teams. but to keep mushroom
clubs from entering the contest
