22,779 PEOPLE
IN BURLINGTON

The census bureau gave out Mon
day, through the Associated Press,
the population of Burlington as COM
puted from the census taken last
January. At that time the enumera-
tors found 22.779 people in Burlington.
This is a gain Of 2.31i, or 11.3 per cent,
over the population in 1910, which was
D,4ss. In the previous decade, from
1900 to 1910 the population increased
from 1880 to 2O.4sS
The increase Of 2,s11 in the last
decade Is probably grerater than many
expected in view of conditions that
have tended to retard the normal
growth of the city during the last few
years.

be facing serious trouble. He has
no more big men in his squad.
Georgetown has had one easy game
this year, that with ST. Johns. OF
Annapolis. North Carolina State gave
the Hilltoppers a terrific argument.
So did West Virginia Wesleyan,

came a breathing spell with Johns
Hopkins. Had it not been for those
three hard battles before, the Johns
Hopkins skirmish might have been
termed easy. AS IL was, 1t was neces-
sary and not so especially easy to
team short on reserves.
The debacle came at Annapolis.
Georsetown's little bunch of veterans
took a sad walloping. not indicated

knocked down, pick ed up and knocked
down again until they were stiff and
sore and glad to hear the final
