Not much is known of the strength
Of the visitors. although they har"
won the majority Of their games. and
are in gooI shape. Carmichael.

Norris. Rourk and Erwin are mem
bers Of the squad Carmichael is said
to be star at his forward position.
The Carolina outfit is under the
direction of Charles T. Woolen. gradu
ate manager of athletics. Besides
Woolen is business manager of the
university. and occupies much
larger place in the life OF the instt-
tuition than the men usually con-
nected with the direct management
of sports. And it might be mentioned.
too, that he is the type of fellow
with whom it is real pleasure to
come in contact.
Championship OF the High School
Basket Ball League is likely to hinge
OIL the result of the game tomorrow be-
tween Tech and Central If the Man
ual Trainers get the long end of the
score they will have the title almost in
their grasp. because 1t is unlikely that
any quint other than that which repre-
sents Central is going to stand much
chance to stop them.
Techs quint has been unusually sue
Cessful all year. 1t has defeated every
schola site combinati ton with which il
has come in contact, and its work gem
orally has been much better than any
thing shown by the school teams in
this section in any season. If Tech can
continue its present record il is likely
to finish the year with as good record
a has ever been made by a local school

The Hoya. Georgetown's student
newspaper. devotes more than page
of the current issue to the prObabili-
ties of developing crew this year.
One paragraph of the article states
that the only obstacle that stands in
the way of Georgetown's putting "A
crew on the water is the question of
expense" That is the very factor
which. as was pointed out in this col
umn some time ago. almost precludes
the possibility of the development of
rowing at most institutions without
very considerable alumni aid. George
town dropped the sport almost solely
for that reason.
Thomas y. McCarter head of the
Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey has seen the Princeton
foot ball game for the last forty
years. Wonder if any other man in
the United States has been SO loyal
To MS alma mater as to go to watch
rival forty consecutive times? MI.
McCarter is a Princeton man.
Charley Moran. athletic director at
Catholic University, is making active
preparations for the indoor track meet
to be held at Brookland March l3
Formal notices have been sent to all
colleges and plenty of entry blanks
will go out to all schools clubs and
colleges within the next three weeks
Moran stated this morning that pros
poets for a good meet are exception
ally bright.
From the interest being shown by
the institutions in this section. I feel
sure that-we will have one of the
best meets. held indoors in Washing
ton in several years" says Moran.
More colleges are sending in inuui-
ries than l really had hoped to hear
from, and it seems now that the af-
fair will enjoy much greater success
than most of us had looked for. To
my way of thinking. sufficient inter
est already has been evinced to make
certain of the meet being an annual
event.
