HILLTOPPERS' VICTORY
Georgetown Forward Proves Too Much
for St. Johns Quint.

TOO much" Freddy Fees was the un-
doing of the st. Johns College quint,
from Brooklyn, N. y. last night, in their
annual basketball game with the George
town University tossers in the Ryan
gym, as Freddy played a consistent floor
game and Gagged seven goals from scrim-
mage and twelve by the free toss route.
The score was Georgetown "A, St. Johns
&.
Fees gathered 26 points of the "A totaled
by his teammates, while McNulty came
through with five goals from scrimmage.
The visitors played a brilliant floor
game, doing much of their passing by the
subway route, while Capt Murphy. Of
the visitors, showed some sensational
work at dribbling. The passing of the
visitors at times swept the Hilltoppers
off their feet, but inability to cage the
ball killed their chances.
Georgetown played the guards up the
floor, and with a snappy pass from the
center jump managed to sneak quite a
few goals in on the visitors. In the first
half the Hilltoppers used this system of
play for runaway, as the first period
ended with the score OF 20 to s, but dur
ing the next period the Brooklynites sub
stituted Farrell at center in place of
Shea and he kept McNulty pretty we'll
covered while he outjumped the Blue and
Gray center.
Farrell helped to swell his teams total
by caging five scrimmage goals during
the last half. The lineup and summary:

QUOTA of 500
1 ENTERNAVY

Milwaukee, Wis.-Wisconsin and up
per Michigan staged a "come back
during the past week and gave to the
Navy the largest number of recruits
ever secured in any single week since
recruiting was first started in this dis
trict. The record for any single days
enlistments was also broken during
the week ending June Z, and the quota
of 800 men allotted this district was
more than completed
Three hundred and four men applied
for enlistment in the Navy during the
week, of which number 134 were en-
listed. The previous high mark for a
period of seven days was 113. Seven
teen others were accepted by the ex-
aminers in the main station in MilWau-
kee but failed to return to take the
oath.
Again the majority of the men en-
listed came from the state rather than
from Milwaukee, the metropolis fur
nishing only 9 men. The new sub-sta-
tions at Eau Claire, La Crosse and Ash
land, just recently opened, did favor
able work, La Crosse giving the "frst
line Of defense" Is recruits out of 80
applicants, while Ashland furnished
10 men for the Naval forces out of
II applicants. Eight applications
were filed at the station in Eau Claire
and two men were enlisted. Five were
enlisted at Oshkosh, 9 at Wausau, at
Madison, Is at Ishpeming, and by
travelling recruiting parties.
Registration day found SO men join
ing the Navy from this district, the
largest number that ever joined in one
day since the Milwaukee office was
opened. These men came from all sec
tons of the state, only three coming
from Milwaukee. One hundred and
ffty-one men applied at the Milwau-
lzee station however, SO of whom were
enlisted.
According to the recruiting office
records, approximately one-third of
the men now joining the Navy do not
come within the age limits of the draft
law, many being over 80, while others
have not reached their 21st birthday.
Previous to the publication of the
CONSUMPTION act, more than SO per
cent of the Navy recruits were young
men under q years of age, showing
that the per centage of men subject
to draft who are enlisting in the Ma
Wy has materially increased.
