olc University leaves town for En-

Basket ball seems to be getting re-
markable hold on those in Washing
tons interested in indoor sports. Be
quints through long schedules. many
high and prep schools almost entirely
center their winter activities around
basket ball. and it is almost impos-
sible to make an accurate estimate
Of the number of youngsters playing

schools and grade schools. ten inde-
pendent organizations. Yankees.
Aloysius. Manhattans. Mercurys. Trux-

caiiher. are playing through regular
lists of contests. Also a Sunday
School League is in operation with

While mach credence was placed in
the rumor shortly before the holidays
that Glen Warner was to be replaced
at Pittsburgh by Sutherland, success
ful coach at Lafayette for the last
two years, 1t Is fact that there
never was the least foundation to the
rumor. The writer was told a few
days ago by a man directly connected
with athletics at Lafayette that
Sutherland was never approached. by
Pittsburgh authorities about coach
ing at Pittsburgh. In fact, Lafayette
had considerable trouble persuading
Sutherland to remain there another
year. Sutherland is a dentist and Is
practicing that profession with an
older man in Easton. 1t is said that
moment, was the strongest argument
to get Sutherland to continue in
charge. of Lafayette's foot ball for
tunes. =.

games with Georgetown. George
Washington. Maryland and Catholic

the spring. A squad will be placed
in each indoor meet. The lacrosse
team plans to play six games. and
three of these have been listed with
Navy. Cornell and Penn State. La

material is concerned than track, as
the majority Of last years squad are
back. -'.-
