The Catholic University basket shoot

Farewell to the veterans.

Washington motorists will no doubt
turn out in goodly numbers on the even

city at the Baltimore automobile show.

Good dates here.

That is a great wrestling card that
has been arranged for Wednesday even

succeeded in closing with the winners
OF the big carnival in Baltimore last

That sounds like a good proposition
at Georgetown to establish a regular
training house. in which the athletes
OF the university may live during their
respective seasons. By such an ar
rangement it would be possible to bfing
the squads along in much better ph1s-
lcal condition than in the past. II Mike
