Knowing how to throw foul Is
mighty valuable in basket ball. But

that only five fouls were called in the
game. Then. if you could throw every
foul and couldn't dribble or pass you
could score only points.
The team that wins the most games

of whom can cage free throws, dribble
and pass and shoot for the basket
from the field. The team that can do

Carey at the back-court posts. This
group has been used by the Colonials
in their last three games.

While the Mpthodists and Colonials
are entertaining at basket ball to-
night, Georgetown and Maryland re-
lay teams will be facing stern tests
in The New York A. G. games at Madi-

Jimmy Connolly, former Blue and
Gray captain, will be competing in
the Baxter mile makes the affair in
the Big Town even more interesting
from a local viewpoint.
Georgetown's quartet of speedsters
will match strides for the second time
this season with flyers of Holy Cross
and Boston College. The Blue and
Gray vanquished these combinations
in the Millrose games. If the Hill
toppers triumph again tonight it will
he their third victory in as many

Maryland's four will test its mettle

the Crimson anchor man fell. but
there was question that Maryland

opposition from Yale as the old Ellis

A real punch may be added to
GeorgetOwn's Spring foot bali practice
by scrimmages with the Navy squad
at Annapolis. Maryland worked with
the Middies last season each Saturday,
and both got such benefit from the
brushes that they will be continued
this Spring. However, the Old Liners
may split the sessions with the Blue
and Gray, appearing at Annapolis on
alternate Saturdays. If this arrange

probably will start early in April.
Preliminary work for both varsity
and freshmen grid candidates at
Georgetown was to begin this after
noon at the Hilltop.
Two of the brightest foot ball stars
of recent years in local scholastic
foot ball ranks probably will shine

SEARCHERS WILL
 HUNT LOST PARTY
Brazil Has Case Similar to
 uvingstone's

London, July 22 R-An explor- ing mystery pa alleling the famous disappearance of David Livingstone in the heart of darkest Africa in 1866 has forced call for volunteers to seek Colonel P. H. Fawcett Brit ish explorer, who vanished two years ago in the depths of unchart- ed Brazil while searching for traces of the worlds oldest civilization.
 Colonel Fawcett was last heard of at Bakairi Post, in the Province of Maitc GrcssA from where he jumped off" to carry out his in spection of the central plateau. He hoped there to find relics and trea- surse of bygone civilizations that would prove his theory that the American continent peoples were as culturally important as those of Egypt and ancient Greece.
 Livingstone was rescued after be- ing missing five years. The Stanley expedition which brought Living stone back to civilization is one of the great epics of exploration. The Brazilian territory in which Colonel Fawcett disappeared is in- nabited by cave men who eat hu- man flesh, by inpenetrable forests. ferocious animals, poisonous insects and great reptiles.
 Colonel Fawcett was accompanied by only two white men, his son Jack Fawcett and i;. Rimmel, another young Englishman. His expedition planned to live on the country and was furnished instruments by the Royal Geographical Society.
 Don't count on any more dis patches" said his last message. Colonel Fawcett advised his friends not to worry unless he was not heard from for at least two years. That time has passed and Mrs. Fawcett, who lives with her daugh- ter at Torquay, is greatly distress ed at the absence of news from her husband.
 The Royal Geographical Society has offered the proposed search party all possible help, but points out that while the Brazilian Govern ment will probably give every as- sistance in it's power, it does not pretend to exert any control over the wild interior of the country. with it's untamed tribes. which was the goal Of Colonel Fawcett's ad- venture.
