Georgetown has seventy athletes
ia training under the vigilant eye of
Coach O'ReiIly and, were the equip
ment at hand, another fifty would
be working out on the board track
at the Hilltop. The influence of the
Olympic games, which will be held
Mt Amsterdam next summer, is be-
ing felt at Georgetown in no I'M
mlistakeable manner. Every young
Mter In uniform and spiked shoes
has his eyes glued on the Olympic
trials. He wants to represent his
country in the worlds greatest
athletic meet.
Coach O'Reilly is taking to the
Brooklyn games Karl WiIdermuth,
Georgetown's classy little sprinIer,
and two relay teams, one for the
mile and one for the two-mile.
WiIdermuth is to compete in the
e0-meter, 90-meter and 100-meter
events.
Just who will start in the relays
will hardly be decided until next
week. Tomorrow the regular meet
viii be staged at the Hilltop, with
Coach O'Reflly on hand watching
the form of his candidates.
The leading quarter-milers are
Eddie O'Shea. John Cranley, Bob
Ehotter, Eddie Hector, Jack Adam
ants and Eddie Symansky and from
them the mile relay team will be
chosen

Tech and Central this afternoon
come to the first curve in their
basketball path and either will fail
TO take the bend and go over the
embankment. They are meeting in
an important interhigh tittllar game
at the Arcadia and the victor will
go into the lead for the champion
ship.
Neither has suffered a reverse
this year, Central stopping Eastern
and Tech crushing Western. Cen
trail disposed OF an Eastern club
which the day previous had taken
the measure of Business. Whether
this game took too much out of the
Lincoln Parkers is matter for
discussion.
The only comparison, il such is
consistent. between Tech and Cen
trail, is offered in the games with
the c. II. Freshmen. The Cardinal
Cubs plastered the Mt. Pleasanters,
1920. while Tech tangoed their way
10 an easy 1928 victory over the
c. II. yearlings.
Central has q SwifteF pass

basket, all seeking to lay
hands on the ball. Central

Tech may be forced to enter the
game minus it's big howitzer
Louis 'Hawkeye" Berger. He
sprained his ankle in the foray
with Western on Tuesday and it
may prevent his appearance in a
game that Tech wants to place
in the victory column.
Capt. Forrest Burgess and
Woodward will most likely be the
forwards for Central. Burch will
be stationed at center and ColIey
and Lemon will be given the back
court jobs. Tech will have Rooney
and Berger or Goldblatt at for.

Hornsby fashion? 1t is to

The big question now is, "Will
New York fans stand for it,"
They will give their answer at
the turnstiles next summer, and
unless the Giant management is
able to give a much clearer ex-
PLANTATION than it has to date,
that answer will be a negative
one. This will be particularly
SO in case the Cubs or Pirates
get a jump on the Giants and
leave them behind in the race.
Baltimore is anxious that a
team in this locality get the
open date on Nays football
schedule and one newspaper
over there, the Evening Sun, is
pulling for Georgetown. Edi-
torially it says:
"The 1923 Army Navy game
has been called off, but until
either or both West Point and
Navy schedule q game for the
corresponding date next fall,
there is a possibility of the con-
test being played.
"Navy's logical opponent is
Georgetown, unless the Middies
want to stage an intersectional
contest and bring one of the
Far Western teams here.
"GeorgetoWn,t under Lou Little,
for the past few years has been
at the top of the national field.
The Hilltoppers have had great
teams.
This rivalry would grow if
the two teams agreed to meet in
the final game of the season."

T0DAYS SRQRToRIAL
BY ki.h Miller

Should anybody around town
happen to have an old pair of
roller skates they'd like to
trade for The Spirit of st.
Louis, it is hereby recon-
mended they employ Manager
John ]. McGraw and Presi-
dent Charles Stoneham, of the
Giants, as their official bro
kers, that is if they are seri-
ously in earnest.
Or, if the commodities con-
cerned happen to be load of
ashes for ton of coal or
even a fourth rate palOoka for
Eugene Tunney, the same
gentlemen ought to be able to
negotiate the exchange. In
view of their trade of an easy
100000 worth of highly-pol-
ished baseball bric-a-brac for
doubtful $4,000 of run-of-the-
mine material, Messrs. McGraw
and Stoneham have earned for
themselves the title of the
worlds champion altruists.
Scanning back through the
dog-eared records of baseball
there has never been any trade
to approach the righteousness
of the Hornsby-Hogan, Welsh
exchange.
There was even more rea-
son for Frank Chance sending
Hal Chase, one of the best
first baseman the game ever
knew, to the Chicago White
Sox for the worlds worst first
baseman, Babe Borton and
Rollie Zeider, who took along
with him a prize set of bum
ions. That deal was to pun
ish Hal Chase who had become
a not so desirable man to have
around the team.
But in the Hornsby affair, if
it was done as a reprimand for
alleged welching on a gambling
debt or for a fancied or actual
overbearnace on his part to-
ward some of the Giant players,
the two most popular explana-
tons, it seems to us, the great
est suffering will be on the part
of the Giants who will look long
and far before they find a sec
ond baseman anything like APP
preaching the excellence of Mr..
Hornsby.
Are the Giants cutting off
their nose to spite their face?

S-64, as the plane Is designated, was
developed for endurance work.
The monoplane has a wing span OF so
feet, a height of Ia feet and length
OF 30 feet. The wing is divided into
many water-tight compartments, giving
the plane a floating possibility for
considerable time In the event OF
forced landing on water, In this wing
also are located 80 duralunin fuel
tanks, subdivided into groups. Whicn
can be connected and disconnected by
the pilot from the cockpit All the
tanks also are connected with central
tank, from which the fuel is pumped to
the engine. Circulation of the fuel l.
81 arranged that should trouble de-
velop in some parts of the feed system
the flow of gasoline to the engine would
not stop A large valve for dumping
the fuel in the event of forced land
ing with heavy load also is provided.
The cockpit is located in the center
of the wing. Beneath the cockpit is a
small compartment corresponding to
the cabin Of ship with a fuselage
and here is provided rest room for
the officer off duty There is a modern
electric system In the plane to provide
light and heat during the fight and
a radio set having a range of 500
kilometers.
No Fnsciagr.
The engine Is mounted high above
the wing and over the center section.
Immediately before it is the oil tank,
which embodies system for cooling
the oil which can be regulated from
the cockpit. The radiators are. Of
retractahle type and are located near
the trailing edge of the wing. They
can be housed totally or partially by
the pilot from the cockpit either to
avoid excessive heating or cooling.
There is no fuselage to the piano.
the tail section being attached to the
wing by long, strong supports. The tail
surfaces are So designed that they can
be locked" in fight. enabling the pilot
to fly hands off, the controls for long
periods and thereby obtain rest.
The cockpit contains three conn.,
passes--two of the magnetic type ana
one of the terrestrial induction type-as
we'll as all modern Instruments neces-
sary for long navigation.
The plane is of mixed construction,
the wing structure and the tail surfaces
being of wood, while the engine mount
and the landing gear are built of steel
and duralunlin.
The plane was designed by Alessandro
Marchetti. one of Italy's foremost
aeronauticaI experts. Since 1910 he
has turned out II successful types,
including the Santa Maria used by Gen.
Francisco dc Pinedo on his great four
continent flight of last year.
