It was Boston College and Yale
that went down before the Hilltop
pers in their record breaking. per-
fOrmance in the two-mile race. With
door record, held by Pennsylvania
and made in 1922, and two-fifths of a
second off the outdoor record made by
Boston College last April. Georgetown
finished its race 10 yards ahead of
Boston College and many more than
that in the van OF Yale.
Georgetown's new record for the
two-mile event is minutes Al 1-5
seconds. While a new record was not
established in the mile race. the time
made by the Blue and Gray was eX-
ceptionally good. Any four men who
can do the mile in minutes % 20
seconds on a small indoor track are
about as good as any mile team in
the country.
Georgetown still has many meets IN
which to compete, being scheduled to
take part in 10 more before shoes
are laid aside for a few days to
await the coming Of the outdoor sea-
son. Following are the games In
which Georgetown men are to ap-

one Athlete Catholic University
will miss another year is Bobby De-
Nault. In both foot ball and base ball,
at halfback in the former and short
stop in the latter. Default has been
among the best players in the Sec
tion. His performances at halfback,
nearly always with a team that could
hardly be classed better than second
rate, have stood out at all times.
He has been a good ground gamer
and has shown q fine sense of judg-
ment and a. high standard Of con-
duct as well. His play at shortstop
has been so good that he has had
opportunities to sign big league con-
tracts. His foot ball and base ball
coaches probably will hunt long
time before they find a man Of his
high type to replace him.
Students at George washington
are loud IN their praise of DR.. Will
liam Mather Lewis, president of the
university, for having provided them
with a gymnasium for use this year.
Not only Is the gym being extensive
ly used for athletic competitions, but
1t also is proving an excellent center
for social events. One man connected
with the university recently made the
statement that nothing that has
been done at George Washington in
its whole history has been Of greater
value to the university and It's stu
dents than the building last Sum
mer and Fall of the gymnasium now
in use" And, incidentally, while this
column is not intended as a medium
Of comment on the activities of presi-
dents Of universities, it nevertheless
seems very appropriate to say that
tho keen interest that President Lewis
has been and is taking in the inter
ests and activities of the students OF
much to help that institution as any
thing.
President Lewis gradually is
breathing the breath OF life into
George Washington and making 1t
something more than an educational
factory. And what must be very
gratifying to him is the fact that he
IS doing it despite the fact that many
said it could not be done,-----

Burton ShipIey, basket ball coach
at the University of Maryland, paid
Fred Rice, Catholic University a high
tribute. Said Shipley: "Rice's teams
are the hardest I know to keep out
side our defense. His plan of getting
men inside our defense Is sound and
better than that of any other coach
against which our team has played.
I had rather take my chances of beat
ing any other coach IN the East. ]
regard Rice's teams as the hardest to
beat of any we play"
McGran, who is jumping center
for Washington College, the small in
stitution that last week defeated the
Navy's remarkably strong quint, is
said to be one of the greatest basket
ball players extant. According to a
state ment made in Baltimore Saturday
by man who watched Washington
College play several times, II there rs

McGran cannot do, then 1t Is some

1t seems that four or five members
OF the Washington team played to-

Conn, and during the recent Christ
mas holidays took a trip through new
