to get an even decision, many OF the
fans were of the opinion that the
champion OF Catherine and Eleventh

At any rate. the meeting OF Dun'

drawing card. Joe has not lost any
hackers by his defeat at the hands
of Freddie Jacks. He is young yet
and has plenty of chance 70 come

give him q chance to show at his

ietes in the Johns Hopkins Fifth
Regiment indoor games and relay
carnival, on February rs, are be-
ing required to sign an iron.bound
contract, It was learned today at
Homewood.
This contract. applies not only to
the events entered, but to the in
dividual participants as well. and
1t is believed to strike q new note
in the local sport agreements.
This new plan," said Theodore
Kistler. secretary OF the games
committee, has been adopted this
year to protect the public as well as
ourselves. > 1t has been made neces-
sary by failure in the past Of GER
tain indiv .duals to appear at the
games or to compete after their
names had been specially an
rounced for The events. We do not
wish to imply anything regarding
the integrity of the institutiona en-
tering the meet, but simply want to
guard against advantages OF the
sort that have been taken with US
in previous affairs.
III a college or athletic organiza-
ton announces that a certain star
is to participate, we feel we owe the
public a duty in seeing that this
man, and this man alone. appears

night in basketball. The Hatchetites
got little more than a workout
against the Hopkins Medics winning

defeated Carnegie Tech by II to 81.
The Hopkins Medics furnish little
or no opposition and in consequence
the Hatchetites gave a very ordinary
exhibition for passing and shooting.
Catholic University players struck
their stride early in the game and
passing consistently gave the Pitts
burg men all they were looking for.
