TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

Next Thursday night at the
City Club, Lou Little is stag
ing his pet party sometimes
known as the annual &C. Club
Dinner, the same being a we'll
conceived testimonial aft air
dedicated to the proud wearers
of the coveted "G" which goes
to all Georgetown athletes who
make the grade.
And making the grade in
Georgetown athletics is coming
to be no small task, which fact
makes the &c" Club Dinners all
the more important.
The Hilltop standard of sports
competition is something that
many other colleges of the same
or greater numerical strength
might well envy.
Nothing substantiates that
statement any better than the
respect with which the Blue and
Gray is looked upon at the
Penn Relays-the same goes for
the almost dread with which
opposing football teams see
Georgetown's clever com e.
romping upon the field.
In track and field athletics
and upon the gridiron, Messrs.
Little and O'Reilly, respectively,
have accomplished much for
Georgetown and therefore much
for the city of Washington.
Each deserves great credit and
the boys who have turned in
the victories for them deserve
every need of praise which viii
be rendered them from the lips
of such an orator. as Frank j.
Hogan next Thursday night at
the City Club.
Possibly no one hero of the
cinder and board track or the
gridiron or baseball diamond
will receive quite so much in
dividual glory as will Anthony
Plansky, who has just been
crowned decathlon king for the
second successive year.
So versatile is Plansky that
it is difficult to say in just
which sport he has been the
greatest asset to Georgetown.
The overSipned prefers to re-
member him as a football power.
We don't recall anyone at
Georgetown who approaches
Plansky in true athletic value
since the days of Harry Cos
tello. and that's going a few
years back to say the least.
Tony leaves Georgetown this
year and more's the pity

WIN
By ROSS L. CONKLIN


One cannot help having a deer

professional. One of the smallest
professionals in the country, Nc
Geodd plays a game that should rate
him much higher in his home town
than his present status admits.
Counted out as 'stoo short a
driver to cut much of a figure
Mcleod has given three vivid dem
onstrations this spring that he is
still to be reckoned with in any
sort of a competition. He copied
rather handily the sweepstakes
tournament of the professional golf
ers in the Middle Atlantic open at
Burning Tree. He shot a " on
that lengthy course to win from a
very fine field.
Last Sunday week. he broke
par by one stroke on the Congress
sional Country Club course in an
exhibition match with Roland Mac
Kenzie, Tommy Armour and Page
Hufty, and that in spite of a fear
fully high wind and a damp, cold
day.
Sunday at Columbia, Freddy
trudged along seemingly unmindful
of hurricane-like wind, and played
beautiful golf. He played with
Roland with such telling effect that
the two Of them defeated Armour
and Hufty in the second half of the
56 hole exhibition match, 6 and 4.
Mcleod played his typical
game. His tee shots went straight
off the tee, not far as the others,
but right in the alley. His iron
shots, and on the few occasions
when he used his spoon Orbrassie,
were always as straight as an
arrow.
Then when Freddy got them up
around the green, they were his
to the pin, his long mashie ap-
breaches, and his putting won
many a hole. Mcleod lays his
club for chip shots until it seems
that he could. almost use spade
or a shovel.
And how that ball acts once it
lights. It is indeed a well-behaved
ball, for it cuts sharply to a stop
about three feet or less from the
pin. and Freddy has a putt for
birdie or a par.
Armour wrenched his left wrist
on his first tee shot. and he was
forced to pick up on the first hole
when his second shot, out Of the
deep woods, hit a tree and the ball
caromed back deeper. His wrist
bothering him; he pushed almost
all his long shots to the left and
frequently found himself in hot
water.
Only remarkable recOveries, like
on the fifth when he took a
brassie and laid the ball close
TO the pin after being almost out
Of bounds i'm the rough, and on
the ninth where his second shot
: ended in a clump of trees near
the 10th green and he Clipped
up with a maShie and nearly
hOEed out saved him. On this
ninth, By the way, Armour played
a very high pitch shot from an
almost unplayable lie and his
bail almost hOled out. 1t hit into
the cup and the back spin kicked
IL out.
Roland was in fine form off the
tee. His screaming tee shots were
yards further than any ball Of the
others. Hufty showed vast improve
ment- over his past form, though
his putting was off. Some one
''borrowed" his blade putter at
Pinehurst and he has not yet been
able to get a putter that suited
him. Had he been able to putt
he would have figured very promi-
nently in the match.

around. There's nothing in it. But
with Lucien and me. it was different
He wanted more than friendship. And
SO I've stopped it all. | just thought

Martha sat motionless. still staring
at Natalie. The girls generous ad
mission made Martha feel more than
ever ashamed of herself; and not only
that-Natalie's taking for granted that
of course there was nothing more than
friendship in her feeling for Perry
made the situation still worse.
Martha felt terribly guilty. and yet
after all, wasn't she blaming herself
too much? She hadn't really cared for
Perry. Doubtless she would have
drawn back in shocked terror if he had
made any attempt to be definite about
anything. She had wanted romance,
and romance flies away at the first
breath of reality.
She wondered how she ought to an
Swer Natalie. She wanted to show the
girl how she appreciated her conf
denCe and yet she wanted to do 1t in
a friendly way and not as mother to
daughter. She had always wanted
Natalie's friendship, and now she was
nearer to it than she had ever been
in her life. She mustn't spoil the mo-
ment.
An inspiration came to her and her
face relaxed into a smile.

deeply in love with another woman. "
"Oh, mother, low romantic. And,
of course, he's poured his heart out to
you and you were sweet enough to

Martha nodded, still smiling. How
sublimely unconscious Natalie was.
Did she care at all for Perry? And
what would she say if she knew that
Perry was in love with her?

SPRINGTIME
By ID. G. PEATTIE.
Papaw.

Up river. on the steep rocky cliffs
that line the Virginia shore of the Po-
tomac. the papawS have come into
bloom. We think of the papaW as a
sweet. rather custardy fruit that. like
the persimmon, ripens after the nrSt
frost And that is how we are apt to
forget that the papaw has a Towering
early in the year.
Our papaw is no relative OF the true
papaW or papaya of the tropics. which
you may have tasted if you have been
to Florida, nor is it, to be sure, so good
fruit. But there is something
strangely beautiful in the flowers OF
the papaw, which belong to that in
teresting tropic family, the Anona
family There are six maroon red
petals that have a curious half-pleas-
ant odor of over ripe strawberries, and
among the petals is a globular mass
of little gold stamens. These strange
dark blossoms sit closely on the tWie
among the delicate green ana brown
of the expanding leaves. for the young
leaves and new shoots are ever
clothed in a red-brown wool. Crush
the leaves and a strange, heavy odor.
rather more unpleasant than sweet,
creeps forth on the air.
Such is our little papaW bush in
early Spring, a friendly little F:'itant
from tropic lands that has the hardi.
hood to range north TO Michigan and
west to Nebraska. 1t takes its botan-
ical name, ASimina, from the word
asiminier, given it by the French VoN-
ageurs, who had in turn corrupted the
Indian name, aSSimin. The word
sounds strangely Ike persmmon. and
one cannot but wonder if simin. or
simmon did not mean any sort of
custardy fruit ripening late in Fall

CHAPTER l..
Clever Tactics.

There was Il definite restraint be-
tween Natalie and her mother, and
yet. in spite of it, Natalies irrepres-
sible grin spread over her face and
she wrinkled up her nose in little
Grimace.
Well. mother, you'll certainly have

If il had been Il scene on the stage
II would make a fortune for the au-
thor, and that's certain.
In spite of herself. Martha smiled,
and Natalie perched on the arm OF

1T must have done father a world
of good to get a tongue laShing from
me. Did he and Arthur have a quar-
rel, too? Something must have hap
pened to keep him at home. l can't
remember when he's been here.
Martha was scrutinizing Natalie. 1t
was the first time that she had actual
iy thought of the girl as appealing
to Perry. OF course, there had been
that one time when she had envied
Natalie's fresh young loveliness and
mad been ashamed of herself aft
crward. But now that she knew how
much Perry cared for her, she was
looking at her daughter with new
eyes.
Natalie seemed unaware of her
mothers intent gaze. She was oc
cupied with her own thoughts. For
the first time in her life she wanted
to talk to Martha about everything
that puzzled her. She needed ner

Nothing has excited more wonder
or terror than the will-o' -the-Wisp
that sometimes fits over water. In
The desolate boGs of Scotland and Ire

believed to be an evil water spirit,
turing people on to their destruction.

thing NEUROLOGICAL. but actually eX-

flash that is sometimes seen on the

it meets the free air.
