hIDDY BASKETBALLERS
TO MEET OLD RIVALS
Georgetown Was First Team That
Met Nsvy 7 Years Ago.
SPORT WAS THEN NEW ONE.
Lively Day of Athletics, With Wrestling,
Swimming and Fencing, Scheduled
for Holiday.

More than ordinary interest centers
in the basketball game between the
midshipmen and the FIVE representing
Georgetown University, Of Washing
ton, to be played in the armory at the
Naval Academy tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.
Basket ball is not as old as some
of the other sports at the Naval Acad-
emy. In fact il was added TO the list
Of regular sports only several yeare
ago and those who have followed the
game since its Introduction at tbs
Academy, will re call that Georgeto 0n
was the first team that the middies
ever met.
That was back in 1907, when the
Collifiower brothers, one Of whom now
coaches the Washington institution,
and has refereed most of the games
aC the Naval Academy this season, and
Rice played. Georgetown had one
of the strongest teams in the country
then. Two games were played with
the middies in that year, and the
game being something entirely new
to the sailors, they lost both.
The middies soon caught on, how
ever, and in the succeeding years
games, the Washingtonians have gen
orally fallen victims to the cunning
of the sailor lads. As result Of that
consequence a rivalry naturally de-
veloped between the two institutions,
and much enthusiasm is alw avs
shown when they come together on
the indoor court.
And, since Jim Colliflower, the
Georgetown tutor, has been enabled
to get good line on the style of play
employed by the mlddies, thus giving
him pointers to impart to his pupils,
in smashing the Navy attack, keen
contest should be the result when the
teams hook up tomorrow Though
the middies have not met any of the
intercollegiate teams, such as Yale,
Columbia or Cornell, they uUdoubted-
ly have one of the strongest teams in
the East this year
The middies have clean slate Of
victories, the victims including the
strong Crescent Athletic Club, Brook
lyn, N. Y, Swarthmore, Lehigh, st.
Johns, and others.
While the basketball game will
prove a big drawing card, there are
three other events on the sport calen-
dar at the Academy for tomorrow.
each of which will draw crowds of
devotees. AT 2 go o'clock in the att
ernoon the middies will be seen in a
fencing competition, and swimming
match, both of which will take place
in the gymnasium.
While the iencers are engaging the
bladesmen Of the University of Penn
sylvania, the Navy swimmers will
disport with the tank men of Balti-
more City College. About the time
these events are over, the middies
will engage in series of wrestling
bouts with the grapp.ers of Cornell
University also in the gymnasium.
Lovers of sport, therefore, have a
good offering for the days holiday.

To fA. Mav,sga-I C&o4o n,o~d - III,

Annapolis, Nd. Feb. 90, '13.
To the Maryland State Board Of Edu-
cation:
conference.-the respectfully pre-
sent for your consideration the ac-
companYing petition signed by large
number of parents and other r9pre-
sentative citizens Of Annapolis.
You will kindly note the following
facts which make this petition of
special weight and Importance:
l. It is endorsed by a large ma
jority Of the parents OF the children
whom il affects, the actual vote being
81 affirmative to 23 not siguing.
2. 1t is endorsed by q large number
of representative citizens selected
almost at random, physicians, law
yers, clergymeh, bankers, merchants,
worKingmen. real estate dealers.
journalists a1d instructors, among
whom are all six Of the public school
teachers VINO have studied the pro-
posed subject, and one professoc of
modern languages in the United
States Naval Academy.
3. The subject, the international
Language Esperanto. is strongly rec
commended as practical study for the
High School pupils, for three chief
reasons Linguistic, CONNER al.
Ethical. As a linguistic study it gent
ly introduces the ehild's mind to for
eign languages, Esperanto being
language of regular grammar and
containing at least rs per cent. of the
stems Of words found in Latin, Ger
man anj French.
Its commercial value is evident in
the fact that it prepares for service
in commercial Offices which do an in
teTnational trade On the ethical
side it opens the mind to the great
subject Of international patriotism"
which is destined to mould human
history most effectively in the near
future.
AS to the practicabiity of the pro-
posal voiced in this petition the Es-
peranto Society of Annapolis stands
ready tc cooperate with the State
Beard of Education by furnishing a
teacher of the language gratis for
the first half year. This plan will
enable the present teacher of Latin
to study Esperanto with her class and
thus be equipped for the next years
course. The only expense will there
fore be the cost of text books, some
thing less than one hundred dollars.
The only change in the curriculum
will be that Latin will have three
and half years instead Of four, but
this change will, we believe, mater
tally helD Latin, and at the same
time will give an international Ian
guage to tFe pupils.
In this experiment affecting only
one High School and only Sky pupils
this rein, the State Board OF Educa-
tion will be enabled to test the value
of this international tongue at a min
imum of risk and cost. Therefore,
in the interest Of the children's lin
guisdc, commercial aud ethical deyel-
opment, we respectfully urge your
careful consideration Of this import
ant petition.

HUERTASTANDSPAT
Mission Of Lind Has No Effect On
DGtatOT'S Position.
Probable Outcome Likely to Be
Genuine Ultimatum, With
Limit on November q.

Mexico City = Unwilling to admit
another failure on the part of Wash
ington to bring about the elimination
of President Huerta, John Lind, Pres
ident Wilson's personal representative,
nevertheless failed Saturday to mani
fest any enthusiasm over the prospect
that Huerta would resign. From his
manner and his conversation he be-
lieved negotiations were nearing an
end.
Mr.. Lind was in conference for
more than two hours with Sir Lionel
Garden, the British minister. Neither
Mr.. Lind nor Sir Lionel would repeat
for publication the gist of their con-
versation, but it is believed that the
opinions of the two men differ widely
regarding the Mexican problem and
the part the United States should play
in its solution.
1t developed that Mr.. Lind's stay in
the capital would be longer than was
expected. 1t is not improbable he
will remain here until either a final
settlement or break in the negotia-
lions is recorded.
There was nothing at the American
embassy to indicate that more favor.
able turn in events is expected ano
there is reason to believe that an ulti.
matum, in its full diplomatic sense
soon will be minded to Huerta, the
this new document will be so writer
as to bring to an end the relations be-
tween the two countries before No
vember %, the date fixed for the con
vening of the new congress, unless
Huerta sees fit to agree to the term
of the Washington communication.

JEWS FEAR ATTACK
Russians Much Wrought Up Over
Alleged "Ritua|Stic' Murder.
Accusation Is Believed Groundless
But Population Cannot Be
Convinced of Fact.

New York.-"The entire Jewish
people In Russia is in constant fear
of massacres as an outcome of this
case" says the annual report Of the
executive committee of the American
Jewish committee, referring to the
trial of Mendel Bellies at Kiev,. on a
charge of ritual murder. The case is
referred to as the most tragic occur
renee in Jewish life for many years"
The report was submitted at the
seventh annual meeting here Of the
American Jewish committee, nation
al organization, the purposes of which
lis to prevent infringement on the
rights of Jews In this country and
abroad and to relieve them In case Of
distress and persecution"
The committee appropriated $4,000
for the relief Of prosecuted Seminite
and Moroccan Jews, and discussed ai
length the situation of Jews in Rou
mania and Russia.
OF the situation of Jews In Rou
mania, where demands have beer
made that persecution cease and the
Jews receive equal rights guaranteed
them under the Berlin treaty of 1878
the executive committees report says
There are indications this problem
Is about to assume new phase"
The situation in Russia is deal
with extensively, but the conclusion
is reached that the condition of tn
Jews in that country remains practi
cally as hopeless as last year." Will
1t is noted that ito the roll Of usua
horrors there has been added econom
ic persecution of the Jews in Poland
THAT the Poles, in running Jews
are also running themselves" Is tn
