of the delegation, is not a Harding
Democrat" but a virile partisan,
leader of the minority in the upper
branch of congress, who has been
discussed for the Democratic pres
idential nomination in years past.
The Harding appointees differ
radically from the delegates TO
Versailles also in that all are law
vers. Root and Hughes have been
leaders of the New York bar for
years. Underwood is in active prac-
tice. Lodge is a lawyer, though he
has devoted most of his life to lit

MERE ONLOOKER NOW-TO KEEP
HANDS OFF DISARMAMENT MEET

Washington, Nov. 12.-Woodrow
Wilson, former president of the
United States, has adopted a
hands off, policy with respect TO
the disarmament conference.
No utterance, touching on the
affairs of the conference, will be
voiced by the former chief .execu-
tive-at least until the conference
has had every opportunity to ne
gotiate an agreement.
If negotiations fail, or if the
agreements arrived at seem I'M
American. then, but not till then,
will he inject his views into the dis
cussion.
Should that occasion develop,
the country might see just such
another long-drawn fight in the
: senate as occurred over the Yer
sailles treaty and the League OF
Nations, with the Democratic min
ority preventing the necessary two
thirds vote required for ratification
of any conference treaties.
Such a contingency, however, is
not expected even by the most bit
ter Democratic partisans. Wilson
is said to be both sympathetic and
hopeful as to the outcome of the
! Washington conference. For thE
aim of the conference goes at leas
part way toward the goal at whici
he aimed.
Wilson desires to keep altogeth
er in the background personally
during the conference.
The former president certainl.
will take no part in the brillian
social functions. There will be NJ
formal entertaining at the Wilson
home during the conference.

Fred Mcleod, pro at the Columbia

of place on the professional golf
team that will represent the United
States in the British open champion
ship in June.

ty men frim which a team of twelve
permission from the Columbia Coun-
try Club to make the trip.
G. H. Chasmar, chairman of the
greens committee of the Columbia
Country Club, had a IS in practice
over the course last week, playing
with Prince Hohenlohe.
orrin A. Terry of the Chevy Chase
Club will play in the open cham
pionship at Columbia. Terry says his
physical condition is better now than
at any time during the past three
years, or since a sudden wrench
threw some muscles in his back out
of line. He has been getting around
the Chevy Chase course in practice
from 70 to X.
The professional job at the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club re-
mains to be filled. DIR. J. T. McClena-
han, chairman Of the greens commit

but has made no decision as to the
man to fill the place.

virginia's first string men we're
comparatively fresh when placed in
the game at the beginning of the
second half. and it is only giving due
credit to George Washington to say
that it is rather surprising that 1t
was not worse defeated. The men.
who wore the Orange andBlue in the
second half were more experiences
ethan the Hatchetites, and 1t was evil
dent from the minute they began to
get under way that the home team
was doomed.
Changes Defensive Tactics.
George Washington changed its
defensive tactics somewhat against
the first-string players and succeeded
in holding off the scoring so we'll that
when only eight minutes were LETT
to play Virginia had but one-point
lead However. the Hatchetites tired
and were unable to follow the last
play Of the visitors.
Probably no better nor faster basket
ball has been played here this year
than was put up during the first
twelve minutes Of the second half.
The Hatchetites realized that they had
better men against them than they
had outstrpped in the first half and
rose to meet the occasion However:
the versatility, experience and
stamina of the opposing men were
cope with. -.,. 49,,
The shining light in the George
Washington lineup was Spears. Ap-
parently little more than half as big
AZ some of the Virginia players. he
was all over the floor and doing good
defensive work as well as offensive
And. too. Coach Morse seems sud
denly to have brought him out as the
most accurate shooter from the foul
line who has worn the Buff and Blue
this year. Anyway. that is true if
his performance of last night is a
criterion. Nine times he dropped the
ball through the net from the 10
foot mark. and did not appear to ex-
perience much difficulty in doing 1t.
George washington's main trouble
was it's inability to shift quickly
