foot ball, also will be missed. He
was not a snowy performer, but
steady and dependable at all times,
and the value of such a player can
not be overestimated.
From basket ball will go Gitlitz. who
formerly was a star at Yale; johann
mis- and Ryan. All were good men
and capable of putting up a brand of
play as good as any one might hope
to find in college ranks. Ryan also
was captain of the base ball team,
and at second base was one of the
best players the Blue and Gray ever
has had.
More Losses on Track.
In track athletics Georgetown will
lose. besides Plansky, HaSS, Norton
and Ascher. Haas has been depend
able in the hurdle and also was
good in foot ball, and, Of course.
Norton was an all-round star and
member of the Olympic team. Ascher
was one of the country's great mid
dle-distance men, as he has clipped
the quarter in 48 seconds and the
two-twenty in 81. 1t is safe to say
that Georgetown will not have in
track next Fall any men as capable
as these three. Norton. Plansky and
Ascher; that Is, as capable in all
round events and as valuable In a
dual meet.
Out at Maryland there go from foot

Supplee All.Round Man.
The best allround man Of these

Endslow was a. fine runner at the
quarter and half. He was what is
known as a racer, usually running as

An old saying in college athletics
Is that mo matter how good they are,
when they go somebody always comes
along to take their places" which is
true to a certain extent. But it also
is true that every once in a. while, in
every decade or so, there comes along
n man or men who establish them
selves on a pinnacle that is reached
seldom thereafter. AS teams go other
places are strengthened to more than
make up for losses more often than
not, but as for individual performance
and ability it will be a long while be
fore Georgetown gets two all-round
men in track and field athletics as
capable as Norton and Plansky and
before the University of Maryland
gets one as good in all-round athletics
as Supplee.
Losses at c. u. Are Light.
In contrast to the situation at
Georgetown and Maryland. Catholic
University has back next Fall the bulk
