BIG BALTIMORE MEET
LISTED FEBRUARY 27

BALTIMORE, Nd, December Is
Disregarding other big indoor events
which are scheduled around February
q, the Johns Hopkins Fifth Regiment
games committee has decided on that
date for the annual indoor competi-
ton. which will lie held at the Fifth
Regiment Armory. 1t also has been
decided to close the entry list on Feb
ruary Is.
The committee faces a hard prop
osition in regard to bringing inter
national star athletes to compete at
the annual games. but believes that
local interest will offset this deficiency.
Maj. Walter Black. chairman, an
nounced that it was assured that
Willie Plant, famous short distance
! walker, would certainly appear here
He will be accompanied by Joe Pier
man, another well known heel-and-toe
artist.
AS a means of creating increased
interest. the committee plans a Mary
, land collegiate relay event. This race
Will be an innovation in local indoor
circles.
Johns Hopkins, Maryland and Navy
will be excluded from this special re-
lay This was done in order to make
the competition a purely college af-
lair nose ellSlDlS would be Wash
fngton College. Blue Ridge, st. Johns,
Western Maryland, Mount st. Mary's
and Loyola. None of these institu-
! tons have the facilities for indoor
track training, consequently each will
be on an equal footing.
The hope of bringing other inter
national stars here besides Plant is
far from dead. A special committee
will convene with Fred Ruben, secre-
/ tary of the National Amateur Athletic
! Union, next week. There is a posi-
bility of Charles Hoff, remarkable
Swedish pole vaulter. giving an ex-
hibition at the big drill shed. Houbens,
the German Splinter, may also ap
pear here.
A tentative program was drawn
and includes the following open handi-
cap events: One hundred-yard dash,
440-yard run, high jump, 16-pound
! shotput, 100-yard hurdles and walk
| ing race. The scholastic athletes will
enter the 100-yard dash. 440-yard run,
high jump and half and mile relays.
| Two special events. 220-yard dash and
600-yard relay. will be closed to mem
bers of the Fifth Regiment Athletic
Association.
Maj. Walter Black is chairman of
the games committee, Norman Keyes

BOZEk'S WORK WINS
FOR GONZAGA QUINT

BY scoring II points for Gonzaga

was defeated, 20 to IS, in the prelim-
mary to the professional game last
night at the Arcade, Johnny Bozek
center for the l street five, showed
himself to be one of the best scholastic
basket ball players to display his
wares here yet this season.
Bozek, who recently gained fame by
leading Gonzaga's foot ball eleven to
the city championship. impressed the
fans with his long distance shooting
and close guarding of his opponent
and earned the plaudits of the spec
tators when he sent the ball through
the hoop for the winning basket when
the count was tied at 1S-all.
GonZaga was on the short end of the
count at the half and was rarely able
to get on even terms with the visitors
Craig. right forward of the New York
five, led his mates in scoring with a

The St. Vincent tossers are equally
determined TO make it two straight,
however. Marguerite Holtzbauer, coach
for the st. NincentS squad, has been
drilling her players on teamwork and
speed, with a view to capturing more
laurels to add to the already weighted
crown. Her team has lost but one
game during the entire season.
Miss HoltZbauer is planning to con

for her older students after the basket
ball season closes. These students in
turn will teach the younger ones the
principles which they learn from their
coach.
Western High School athletes will
begin training Immediately after the
new year for the annual track meet
which will be held early in the Spring.
Running broad jump, high jump, bas-
ket ball throw for distance, dashes and
German horse work will be included in
the program to be arranged by Belle
Never. director of girls athletics.
Points scored in. this meet will be
credited toward the winning of the
athletic, cup which is presented each
June to the class winning the most
honors in all fields of sport during the
term.

its regular monthly business meeting

Woman golfers, headed by Mary X.
Browne, are making a serious effort to
form an independent United States
Golf Association and, through their
chairman. Miss Browne, propose to
place their plan before the U. S. G. A,
asking Endorsement at the earliest mo-
ment.
According to the proposed plan, the
association will be financed by dol
lar-a-year membership fee. With APP
proXimately 5000 clubs in the country
it is estimated that a fund of at least
$50, 900 will be provided as yearly
revenue.
Policies of the L. S. w. G.. A. will be
dictated by a board of governors. De-
tailed work will be handled by
salaried secretary.
1t is hoped that by forming this or
ganization the women Will be able to
reduce greatly the individual expenses
of golfers entering the national events.
Many top-notch golfers, it has been
found are unable to compete for the
national crown because of the heavy
expenses of travel and maintenance.
Backed by sufficient funds, the asso-
citation would be able to take care of
such players, and in this way improve
the standard of women's golf. Many

ISOLATION, point out that this feature
may prove to be one of its greatest
evils. as such privilege could readily
be abused. The answer is given most
convincingly by Theodore Sohst of
New York, who reminds us that in
tennis circles this plan has been
adopted and has worked out very well,
greatly raising the standards of the
game and the quality of competition.
