HATCHETITES WIN
FROM BROOKLANDERS
George Washington Trims Catholic
University on "Y" Floor. 26 to n.

In a game marked by fouls OF every
description, the George Washington
basketball team managed to nose out
the Catholic University quint, 26 to q,
at the Y. NJ. c. A. gym last night
Although the game was featured by
fouls. it was without a doubt the Sest
game played in the collegiate ranks this
season, each team getting goal for goal
and foul for foul.
The first half ended with the score
10 10 II in favor Of George Washin gton.
In the last half the winner could not be
named until the final whistle was heard
Each player covered his man so efrec-
lively that no one player showed above
the other.
Little Almon. of George Washington,
was of form at the beginning OF the first
half, as far as dropping the ball into
the mesh from the foul circle, but recov-
cred himself after four attempts. O'Brien
OF the Catholic University quint, was
steadier in shooting goal and fouls. This
blonde-haired right forward of the Cath
olic University hve made one of the best
shots in the second half seen on the ''Y''
floor this season. He Gagged the ball from
the center OF the floor by a particularly
difficult shot

this date having been advanced from

team will be selected. II is expected that
the four executive officers will be re-
elected snd that several new names will
be added to the list of board Of mana
gers

is a pretty safe prediction that J. Rufus
Jones, who succeeded Bill Malone in July
of last year. will be selected to head the
team for the coming season. He is popu-
lar with the players and patrons of the
game in the Virginia town. is a former
player and close student OF the game,

SPORT LOVERS BRING
COLLEGE STADIUMS

The building OF many great athletic
stadiums is convincing proof that col
lege games are growing more popular
every year, and also that they are pay
ing for themselves. Most of the big
Eastern colleges have big athletic fields
now, and Pennsylvania will be tAe next
one in line. There is also a chance that
Columbia will make plans for the cree
ton of a huge stadium. for like Penn
the New York institution is unable TO
handle large crowds.
Pennsylvania was the first OF the
Eastern schools to erect permanent
stands and invite other schools to COM
pete on Franklin Field. But Harvard,
Yale. Princeton and other universities
have erected plants much greater in pro-
portion during the past few years and
today Penn's athletic field is a pigmy in
comparison. So Penn will replace the
stands at Franklin Field by a huge
stadium built on modern lines and
capable of accommodating thousands OF
spectators

BASEBALL PENNANT STOLEN,
Chambersburg Fans Pledge $4,000
and Directors Agree to Serve.

Chambersburg, Pa. Jan. 13-All the
former directors of the Chambersburg

pledged for support of the club for the

CUBS DROP EFFORTS

Chicago. ILL.,, Jan. -a-No wonder the
Chicago Cubs dropped their efforts to

$4,000 for a two-year contract, and with
