Basketball, one winter sport

during 1925. Among the pro-

Of New York generally were

twice and held to remarkably

They were the most consistent

long ago he astounded the bowling
world and himself by shooting the
highest league set ever recorded in
Washington-445. This is quite an
achievement.
It is really remarkable when ono
considers that more unusual duck
pin scores have been rolled In this
city in recent years than any other,
according to some authorities. and
that Dixon is not what one would
term star performer.
His now famous score was rolled
by Dixon, with the Economics

that q bowler Is not a star just
after that bowler has smashed the

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 28.-Christ-
mas Ievae affords the only lull in
athletics at the Naval Academy
between the opening Of the aca-
depaic session early in October,
and the departure Of the midship-
men during the first week in June
FOR the annual practice cruise.
Though there has been q lack
Of actual contests and practice IN
the different lines Of sport during
the week, the officials in charge
Of athletics at the Naval Academy
have many important matters to
consider and arrangements to
make for the opening of the mid
winter season.
There was an important meeting
Of the executive committee Of the
Navy Athletic Association on
Thursday and there is reason to be-
lleve that the matter of the foot
bali coach for the next year was
discussed but not settled. Naval
people are very much alive to the
necessity OF making an early selec-
ton and of finding the right man
Tor the place.
Officers Of rank connected with
the department of physical training
and others feel that now Is an au-
spicious time to secure as coach
someone who win be at the Naval
Academy from one end OF the
academic year to the other, so that
the efforts 10 produce q winning
team will not all have to be crowd
ed into a period of a little over two
months.
This may be done by securing
the services Of naval officer a
former player at the Academy, or
getting 3 civilian coach who will
become q regular and permanent
member Of the department Of
physical training.
Indications point strongly to the
adoption OF this as policy In con-
nection with the football team.
This win leave only two sports.
baseball and lacrosse, coached by
mentors who are not either naval
officers or instructors in the de-
partment OF physical training.
Among those who are prominently
mentioned in connection with the
Dosition of coach are Lieut.. CoTnd-.
William A. Richardson; a former
Academy player and now assistant
director Of the department OF phys
zeal training; John Wilson, assistant
coach last year; Lieut.. Johnny
WheIcheI, of Washington, forme;
player and assistant coach at the
Academy: Joseph Dougherty, E
squad coach, and DR.. Talmage VIII
son, the successful coach OF the
Plebe eleven last year.
Others. not connected with the
Navy or Naval Academy, have also
been suggested. One Of these Il

players ever produced at the Acad

STRESSES Benefit
OF OWNING REALTY
Roger Whiteford Talks of Invest
ments Before Y. M. C. A. Real
Estate Class.

The desira bility of owning real es-
estate was stressed by Roger White
ford, general counsel for the Wash
ington Real Estate Board, last Tues
day night before the weekly real es-
tate class conducted by the Y. NJ. c. A.
Mr.. Whiteford reviewed the history
of real estate. bringing out facts in
rela ton to the ancient forms of own
ership, when the land was vested in
the rulers. He explained that many
of the principles of the law govern
ing real estate transactions that are
in force today still grow out of the
idea that the land was originally held
by the king.
The various laws that had been
handed down by the known law were
explained by Mr.. Whiteford in their
relation to present realty laws. lie
explained that an estate as defined
by the law means that interest or
extent of title a person may have in
land. The various kinds of estates
person may have an interest in, he
explained, are estate of free hold, eS-
tate of Inheritance, fee simple estate,
limited fee simple estate and estate
entailed.
The necessity of thorough knowl-
edge of real estate investments and
the formalty and requirements Of
real estate sales and purchases should
be properly known to those who In
tend to make real estate their pro
fession or invest in property. He
explained the sale and purchase of
real estate is Intimately connected
with the prosperity of the country.

MORTGAGES CLOG
COURT DOCKETS
Unprecedented Number of
Foreclosures of Record in
Baltimore, Is Report.

BALTIMORE, December 19.-Large
increases in mortgage foreclosures
are the principal reason for the I'M
precedented number of cases filed in
the two Circuit Courts here this year,
according to the court clerks.
With two weeks remaining before
the 1925 dockets are closed Circuit
Court No. already has had 200
more cases filed than during the en-
tire year of 1924 The other Circuit
Court docket shows more than 100
more cases than last year.
The mortgage foreclosures, accord
ing to the clerks, are instituted prin-
cipally by companies which make
loans on mortGaGed real estate rather
than the actual holders of the mort
cages. Comparatively few of the
cases, they said. are brought by
neighborhood building and loan asso-

and the entire project with all park
development will be finished five years
later.
Looking into the immediate future,
the next great development for the
City of Washington will be, in my
opinion, the commencement Of an ex-
tensive public building program in
volvlng an expenditure of $50,000,000
in a period of from to 10 years to
provide the essential housing for the
departments and independent estab-
lishments of the Government at the

rigid economy since the World War
has made it impracticable to COM
mence this work sooner, but at this

President, the Bureau of Budget. the
