POINT TROPHY IN G. u. MEET
WAS NOT OPEN TO CLUBS
Therefore Schools or Colleges Could Count
Points Scored in Invitation Events
From Which Gibbs Were Excluded.

The events scheduled in the Guard
meet for boys under sixteen years OF
age are very popular ones. as more en-
tries are being received for those than
any other. Practically all the schools
and clubs have men entered in those
races. and If the heats were not run off
this evening the track would be extreme
ly crowded in the finals Friday night.
Georgetown and the University of
Pittsburgh are scheduled to meet this
evening at the Arcade in game that
should just about tax the powers OF
both teams. Not much is known of the
Pittsburgh crew. but 1t is likely that the
five is up to the standard set by the
other athletic organizations which rep
resent the institution. and II so there is
no question but that Georgetown will
have to put forth its utmost strength
If II is to win.
So far this season the Pittsburgh team
has made an excellent record, and that
it will make every attempt to add to 1t
in the contest this evening is certain.
If Georgetown manages to win the con-
test in which it is to appear tonight IT
will have accomplished one of the most
successful seasons ever had by Blue
and Gray five, and nO>small share OF the
credit should go to Jim Collifiower, who
has coached the team. CollihOwer has
worked hard with the Blue and Gray
bunch, and great deal OF improvement
in the play of many OF the men has been
noticed Some of the players have shown
a much superior form in all the depart
ments of play this year than last, and
that CoIlif1ower has taught them to REM
edy the defects seems certain. -.
One thing that Collifower has accom-
plished this year has been to keep unity
in the ranks Of the players, and that has
counted for much. There is no other sport
in which one chronic grumbler and kicker
will do as much harm as in basket ball,
and that Collif1ower has been able to keep
everything going along smoothly speaks
well for the executive ability Of the Hill
toppers' coach.

On the Rack.

The expression putting a witness on
the rack" has an ancient origin. The
courts had an unpleasant way Of put
ting a refractory or unsatisfactory wit
ness on the rack, which was an open
wooden frame, upon which was laid
the victim. His wrists and ankles
were tied to two rollers at opposite
ends of the frame. The rollers were
then moved with levers until the ten
sion caused the body to rise level with
the frame, and then questions were
addressed to the witness. If he still
proved silent or if his memory needed
refreshing, the rollers were moved slow.

very friendly, and no sooner heard
that Mrs. Shadwell was dead than I
began to tremble. Nav, she just took
charge Of the Shodwell home till after
the funeral. The Shadwells had only
one child, son, Jim, twenty years old,
and he wasn't home when his mother
died. When he came his father per-
suaded him to stay and relieve him of

Jim consented, partly because per-

together as children, and liked Jim

sponsibility of the farm, my. experience
is that when an elderly man talks
about throwin' off his responsibilities
it means he's bent on takin tighter
grip on 'em; just as woman in house
keepin'-the older she grows the less

guess not! And he didn't suspect
that I'd see through his designs. What
he was after was to come over to our
house with Jim, intendin' Jim to dis
tract my attention from him and NAV.
When we was settin' around the fire,
eatin' doughnuts and drinkin' cider,
after we was through with the eatin'
