Details are not necessary. Al
least one long gain by means Of
q pass helped the Blue AND Gray to
each of its two touchdowns and Its
other points were the result Of q
SS.yard field goal by Plansky. The
Georgetown line held well, and gave
Planslxy plenty Of time to heave
and IN most instances he heaved
straight into the arms OF Hill
topper, the most effective receiver
being Captain Jack Hagerty.
Due largely to the clever play
the Marine ends, Clements and
Stock, Hagerty ana Plansky failed
to get away for long, runs as they
did against Fordham.
Hagerty, from Georgetown's View
point, and Ed Pugh, from the Ma
rines' angle, were the heroes Of the
games most sensational play.
Georgetown was knocking at the
Devil Dogs goal for a touchdown
when O'Neill fumbled.
The ball bounced back Of the Ma
rine goal where 1t was picked up
by Pugh, who forwith dashed up
the field. He cleared the pack with
Hagerty In pursuit. Inch by inch
the Georgetown captain overhauled
the neeting Marine, and at last he
caught him. Pugh had run seventy
two yards and but for Hagerty's
superior speed would have scored
g. touchdown.
It was the final game in college
for P1ansl1y, Hagerty and Metzger
and lavish, IL no post-season game
is played.

LlSnLSF men were always the DeL-'
ter men. From the day Of Tom
Allen and the type Of that class
right down through the line there
wasn't q real champion that was
big man. John L. Sullivan was a
great fellow, and he started off the
class as teaching the public that
it should know that a champion
ought to be a man of 46-inch chest
and a thigh something like leg OF
beef. Nothing Of the sort.
Jim Corbett, an Irishman, who
was not dissimilar TO Sullivan in a
general way, but. didn't carry out
the general Sullivan plan of beating
up people on the street and wrestling
cab horses to the curb and the like,
never was a big man. We speak
now merely of a more or less in
teIIigent sense. We think that at
his greatest Corbett did not weigh
more than $50 pounds. He was
even lighter than that when he
fought Mitchell in Jacksonville.
Possibly he weighed a matter of.

first or the second time. He was
trying to get big all of the time so
that he might be stronger for the

Iowa Team Travels
$500 Miles to Play
Three Games

In order to play three games
on its schedule the Iowa eleven
had to travel $500 miles.
The trip to Minneapolis for
the Minnesota game and the re-
turn to Sioux City covered 700
miles and that to Columbus for
the Ohio State game, 1920.
Then came the trip to Los
Angeles to play Southern Cali
fornia and the return, for a total
of 5000 miles. Incide ntally,
these three games drew 158, 1000
spectators.
The attendance was $4,000 at
Minneapolis, 10000 at Columbus
and $4,000 at Los Angeles.

ton of basketball players ever gotten
together"
And it will all be true for the
famous Celtics will show their
wares for the first time in Washing
ton this season when they clash
Sunday night at the Arcade with the
Palace club of the American League
of Professional Basketball Clubs.
For the Original Celtics with
Johnnie Beckman and Nat Holman,
the two greatest forwards that ever
wore the suction shoe; Joe Lopchick.
the giant center, and Dutch Dehnert
and Chris Leonard, without doubt
of a PEER of the cage games guards,
are the greatest of all.
The Original Celtics probably have
done more to advance basketball
than any other individual or aggre-
cation. No team has ever won a
series from them. No team has
ever had them beaten until the final
blast of the whistle. Diggers from
the word go, they have played any
and all rules and have carried the
Shamrock jersey to victory in practi-
cally every state in the Middle West
and the Eastern Atlantic sector.
Perhaps the greatest record OF
the Original Celtics was made on
their wonderful trip that started
last January, carrying them up
through New York state, through
New England, across the Alleghenies,
out to Milwaukee. back through
Fort Wayne, Cleveland, Detroit,
Toledo, Warren, Ohio, Keyser, w.
Va. Washington, Richmond, Va,
up to Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh,
! Oil City, Erie, Reading, Butler,
Rochester and Buffalo.
The mileage record of the Celtics
last season was considerably more
| than 10000 miles. During that
time they played in nineteen states
and in eighty different cities. They
| lost but one game out OF seventy
played in three months.

didn't do Jim very much good.
AS a matter of cold fact there
was difference of something
like eighty pounds between Cor
bett and Jeffries when they
fought, but that didn't show very
much inferiority for the small
man. AS a matter of fact, even
when the larger man won it was
shown that sheer bulk swayed the
contest I'm his favor and that 1t
wasn't a matter of skill.
The man who whipped Jim Cor
bett was merely middleWeight or
something of that sort, weighing
about 1865 pounds-Bob Fitz. He
carried all OF his weight from his
waist up, and had such tremendous
driving force in his muscles behind
the shoulders that he was all but
unbeatable.
Small men came after that until
the craze began for white hopes, .
which was a silly thing and re-
suited in lot of giants that
amounts to nothing. 1t wound up

New Yale Grid Captain ls
 Warned By College Faculty
Cannot Cut Any More Classes This Year With out Sacrificing Standing Friends Expect That He Will Make Good and Be in Good Standing by Fall.

New Haven, March 10 --Johnny Joss, Yale football captain elect may be compelled to lay down his title unless he succeeds in eliminating his absences from recitations. He has received warning from the faculty that he cannot absent himself rom the class room any more during the present term. This has been taken as a danger mark by Head Coach Tad" Jones and the football olil- cials. who feel that Joss will be aDl' 10 observe the requirements and re. tain not only the Captaincy but hE scholastic standing in every respect. Joss has d general scholarship aver age which is fully satisfactory. Be fore the next football season begins he will be entitled 10 a new allot- ment of cuts and his friends assert that he will be fully able to perform his study requirements and football duties without difficulty after his goes into effect.
 He was recently elected to fill the vacancy left by the expulsion Of "Shep" Bingham from school, due to scholastic difficulties.
 Joss, in a way, was a compromise candidate. At least that was the general belief. though it was never officially cxprSssed by the squad. When Bingham was dropped from college the choice for the leadership apparently rested between two stal backfeId players, Cottle and Allen with the former standing out as the probable selection. However, Joss who halls from Indianapolis and is { member of the 1926 class, wal named, much to the surprise of tho | entire student body.
 Joss stands six feet, two inches is the tallest man on the squad ant one of the heaviest, tipping th' beams at 195 pounds. He is ; graduate Of Taft Preparatory schoo and is 22 years old The cominj season will be his third in collcg
