'7ODEYS SPQRTORIAL
BY Nrf Miller"

Within a very short time
now, May S to be exact, Lou
Little is staging his athletic
spring play otherwise known as
the annual Varsity &c" Dinner,
which everyone knows is the
occasion on which Georgetown's
athletes are honored by the
alumni and their friends.
This little drama is the third
of a similar nature to be of
fered by the Hilltop athletic
cast and their general director,
and it has come to be one Of
the most popular strictly mas
culine social functions marking
the coming Of the F'printehps"
here and hereabouts.
In fact, the demand for space
at the festive board is so acute
that this season we find reser-
vations are necessary, and il
you haven't made yours, by all
means get in touch with some
Blue and Gray alumnus and
have him vouch for your de-
STABILITY at the event in ques-
ton.
InaugIrated by Director Lou
Little and sustained largely
through his immense success as
comn1ander-in-chief of athletic
activities over beyond Rock
Creek, the annual Varsity "GD
dinners have come to be q gem
eral gathering of followers of
Georgetown for the purpose of
rejoicing over sports achieve
ments Of the past IL months.
And by sports achievements.
Georgetown includes the de-
feats as well as the victories,
because it is one thing to lose
gamely, as Georgetown did at
Annapolis, and another to take
ones loss lying down. The
spirit at Georgetown has. ever
been to do ones best in the
face Of reverses or in the van
OF success; more how a game
was played than the result
thereof.
However, the last couple of
years has seen little at the Hill
top that required apology for
which side of the ledger it was
entered. Victory has crowned
their efforts more frequently
than otherwise. Football and
track developments over Wonder
have been such that the country
has paused to take notice and
50 the &c" dinners take on new
significance as their anniver-
saries come and go.
Beyond the banquet itself.
four well-chosen principals have
been invited to eulogize George
town athletics, and when we
say eulogize we beg q figura-
tive rather than a literal inter.
probation of the term. For, as
you readers are our Judge, there
is nothing decadent or even
threateningly so on the upper
Potomac Heights.
No Georgetown function
would be worthy of the effort
without Frank Hogan in the
saddle, and that's the very seat
ne will occupy at the next as
semblage Of her favorite sons.
Father Lyons will grace the
speakers table, too. In fact he
will sit right next to Mr.. Hogan
in order to keep Franks super
latives well regulated, because
Frank is very enthusiastic when
speaking of his Alma Mater
and is sometimes prone to over
sell his samples.

Facing the Red Sox In the open-'
ing game of the season here Muir
ray looked like $1,000, 900 for five
innings. Over that stretch he did
not allow a. safe hit and walked
but four. It would have been a
good bet that he would have gone
along to 3 certain triumph. Never
theless, he was wiped of the slate
in the sixth.
When Murray started the
sixth he had held the Sax hit
less. Only four Of them had
seen first base, all on passes.
One Of them had gone as far as
second and il looked Hike q

the Red Sox, caused the under

went for q hit, the first off Muir
ray. Immediately the Washington
hurIer assembled into the air. He

Special Orchestra
Here With Ben Hur'

"Ben Hur," the famous Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer cinema will be pres
cntcd at the city auditorium tonight
and tomorrow.
The special musical score arranpcd
by David Mendoza and William Axt
will be played at all showings of the
picture by large touring orchestra
under the direction Of Clarence West.
Fred Niblo, who directed the max
ing Of the superb cinema in Italy and
California, achieved his greatest tri-
umphs, pictorially, in the scenes If
the chariot race : and the marine
battles, yet his sounder artistry is
evidenced by the manner in which he
has preserved, in the cinema version,
the full dramatic values and the beau
tiful spirituality that characterized
General Lew Wallace's splendid novel
and play. Whatever else it may be
the picturized "Bcn Hur" is per-
feet translation into the new artistic
medium of the noblcst romance ever
pcnned by an American author. As
a novel "Ben Hur" has had a world
wide circulation for almost half
century, and the stage version was
acted with immense success for TWEEN
ty-two years. The picture seems
destined to follow the same triumph
ant road and to win the same high
place in the ANNALS of American art.

chief roles were played by Ramon

Wheat traders were given a decided

that Liverpool stocks Of wheat had

the conditions at Liverpool were in
