COLLEGES WILL Be
FORMED IN LEAGUE
Floor Circuit Plans to Be
Adopted at'Meeting Set for
Next Tuesday.

After several starts the proposed
Intercollegiate Basketball League, to
be composed of Catholic University,
Maryland State and George Washing
ton will be formally launched next
Tuesday.
A meeting has been called at the
Y. NJ. c. A at which time a schedule
will be gotten up. Each team is to
play the other on a neutral court
twice.
The teams meet each other twice
at present except that the games are
played on each others courts. Rules
and regulations will be put into ef-
feet and the election of officers held
at the next meeting.
Kenneth G. willman, who played
center and guard on the Gallaudet
basketball team, will captain the
team next year following an election
held yesterday.
While no formal steps have been
taken to get college students and
athletes in line here for recruiting
purposes there seems to be a general
intent to make ready as soon as is
necessary. George Washington Uni
versitS and Catholic University are
said to be anxious to do their "bit"
when the time comes.
Track meets, baseball games, Ia
cross contests and tennis engage
ments will probably be called off at
the Navy. All of the local teams are
listed on the Navy athletic program.
Unless some game is scheduled in
the near future Maryland State has
no baseball contest until April when
Cornell University is due.

spring Is going to be productive OF
some fine work in this section The
schools seem to be lining up for en-
gagements. The Maryland State meet

colleges in the city. to open up with
q set OF interscholastic track games?

Transportation OF the crowds IS
causing considerable anxiety TO-DAY
The easiest Way for New Workers to
reach the tabernacle is by subway to
the 16Sth street station. This sub
way station is many feet under the
ground and elevators are used to carry
passengers 10 the surface. There are
but two elevators and they can carry
720 passengers apiece each hour TO
the surface In the meantime ten-car
expresses will be discharging at least
500 passengers every four minutes on
the platforms. This means a hopeless
and perhaps even a dangerous conges-
ton. which the police will have to
cope with. In order 10 alleviate this
condition the committee in charge OF
the service has applied to mayor
Mitchell for a franchise to run autOn1o-
biles buses from other subway sta
lions. within 20 blocks either side OF
the tabernacle.
