HATCHETTTES STRONGER

George Washington Catches Catholic
University Off Stride

George Washington University
bask etball players came through in
their floor contest with Catholic Uni
versity in impressive style last night,
landing a 2S-to-26 win and outlasting
the Broklanders, who appeared tired
from their meeting Of the night be-
fore with Lafayette College.
The Hatchetites and Brooklanders
staged one of the fastest games seen
here in a long while. Close guarding
was the rule throughout, as total
of thirty-nine fouls called will attest.
At half time the George Washing
ton men led by 10 to s. Starting an
offensive that would not be denied.
Coach Almon's quint boosted the
score until 10 stood "a to IL.
. The Brooklanders though tired,
came forward with a rush. Glasscott
started the offense, and the Brook
landers crawled ahead after Andy
McDonough asked to be removed on
account of his injured knee, which
slowed up the defense.
The insertion OF Hopke put new
life in the Brooklanders, who just
fell short of winning. George Wash
ington played an improved game and
reflected credit on Almon's work dur.
ing the past two weeks. The victory
was a notable achievement for the
Hatchetites, who kept up their speed
throughout the contest.

HARRY WILLS SEEKING
CHANCE TO SHOW Skill
Winner of Fulton Moran Contest Is
Willing to Tackle Star
Heavyweight.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-A menacing
black cloud Is loomins athwart the
course of the white heavyweights.
Harry Wills. the crack colored boxer
from New Orleans, is bearing down
on them, insisting upon recognition
in the title chase. He would dispute
the claims of Fred Fulton and all the
other contenders to match with
Champion Jack Dempsey.
Wills is returning East from the
Pacific coast, where he has been cam
paigning with consistent success for
several months. His manager. Paddy
Mullins, who also handles Mike
O'Dowd, the worlds middleweight
champion. is seeking matches for him
with the foremost white heavy
weights. Dave Mackay, matchmaker
OF the Newark Sportsmen's Club, has
Mullins signature to contract or.
Wills services. Mackay would pit
Wills against the winner of the Fred
Fulton Frank Moran match which he
is staging in his club tomorrow night.
Both Fulton and Moran have agreed
to meet Wills IL the bout can be
brought about. Moran never did draw
the color lire. Fulton, through his
manager, Tom ORourke, has declared
that he will meet all corners, regard
less of color, until he has conclu-
sively demonstrated his right to re-
turn match with Dempsey.
The manager of the Newark club
will pit Wills against the winner OF
the Moran Fulton clash about the
middle of February. 1t Is an attrac-
tive match, but before 1t can be con-
summated the New Jersey boxing
commission must first rescind its
rules against mixed bouts" The
commissioners will be petitioned to
abrogate this law at their, next meet
ing. 1t is said that two of them are
in favor of repeating it.

When Blackburn was in his prime
he was one of the most remarkable
fighting men Of his day. Although

that he could induce a man OF his own
weight to enter the ring with him.
Blackburn's opponents ranged all
the way from lightweights to heavy
weights. In one week he made the
lightweight limit for one opponent
and then met n middleweight and a
heavyweight, winning all three bat
ties.
Blackburn got mixed UP In
