Georgetown's varsity basketball
season opens tomorrow night at
the Arcadia where the Hilltoppers
will clash with the fast Rutgers
five from New Jersey. Coach
Elmer Ripley, veteran of the big.
pro leagues, win give his Blue and
Gray squad their final workout
today.
Biil Dudack's Georgetown fresh

Ietic association tickets. will be
admitted To 7eOrgetOwn's games
on payment Of IS cents.
The Hilltoppers have but two
veterans on their squad, Captain
Nork and Griffin. However. last
years brilliant freshman team has
provided some fine candidates for
the varsity and Coach Ripley is
satisfied with the looks Of things.
The Hilltoppers will probably
send against Rutgers, Nork, Grit

Carthy, Fred Mesmer, Jack Byrnes,
Johnny Dunn and Harold Meenan.
Georgetown has two games In as
many nights this week. With the
powerful Rutgers team out of the
way. Nork and his mates will have
to tackle New York University SAT-

Tomorrow night at American

There is better than a fighting chance that Smith will carry Illi- nois and Missouri is a cinch," said
 Hary Morton, lawyer of Anchorage who has been Outside on the Dem ocratic stump. He made a speaking tour thru Illinois with Chief Justice Floyd Thompson of Illinois who is running for Governor.
 "The big fight will be along the border states and the Smith show ing has been gaining rather than losing ground.

 MT. Morton discounted the results of the Literary Digest poll by saying that the list of names that were to vote were taken from the telephone Idirecories throughout the country and did not represent the real working class which is expected to go strong for Smith.

saved his clothes press.
AS soon as certain pictures were
taken the films were rushed to pilot
at Boiling Field. Two hours after the
plane left Washington it landed at
West Side Park in Jersey City From
there pictures were loaded in an auto
mobile. Motorcycle policemen cleared
the way to Hudson tubes. a train mes
senger nabbed the package and rushed
to an auto at the Manhattan end.
Other picture services used express
trains The Pennsylvania Railroad set
a new world speed record with spe-
cial train that ran from Washington to
New York in 3 hours and minutes.
Heretofore the record had been 3 hours
and 40 minutes, and was set in carrying
films of President Coolidge'S inaugural.
The new record means an average of
72.7 miles an hour No stops were
made. The train consisted OF an en-
gine, baggage car and passenger coach.
A dark room had been fitted up in the
baggage car, and finished prints were
ready for distribution as soon as they
arrived In Pennsylvania Station.
Another firm engaged Casey Jones,
stunt pilot, to drop movie films by a
parachute over Long Island City. When
the airplane made its descent the films
were being developed, printed and titled.
Special messengers rushed them off to
movie theaters for exhibition that night.
This great public tribute to Lind
bergh was the photographers heyday.
Philip Carlin, announcing the event
over a national chain from the tep of
Washington Monument, told his radio
audience that there we're no less than
$50 photographs, every one OF which

matiQue and cabinet members. This
was made possible by the White House
News Photographers Association.
The advantage of being united was
further demonstrated during the Ar
mistice day celebration at the late
President Wilson'S home in 1928. The
founder of the League of Nations had
requested that no pictures be taken of
him, and policemen guarding the roped
inclosure about the doorway meant To
enforce the order. There was lively
fracaS between cameramen and blue
coats. Clubs flew and pill boxes were
smashed. One movie man turned his
lens on the scene and recorded police

Valuable cameras and plates were de-
Stroyed Wilton j. Lambert, attorney,
was engaged to press charges against
those who inStigated this outrage
against the pictorial press.
The result of the associations action
was the intrenchment of photographers
in an official position which is steadily
mounting to greater strength. Apollo
gieS for rough conduct were forthcom-
ing. Special orders were issued to the
metropolitan police charging them not
only to treat photographers carefully.

Sooner or later science is bound TO
come to the aid of the news photog-
rapher and give him pill box that
will take pictures without focusing or
tedious changing of plates. All strange
manipulations by the cameraman serve
to frighten his human prey. There is
a strange psychology about picture tax
ing for the press. AS no one else. a
cameraman Is in position to know the
vagarieS and peccadilloes of those whose
pictures appear regularly in public
prints. Some people believe there is
something sinister hidden behind the
sharp lens. Others take to posing as
they would to an operating table. And
still others, trained seals" they are
called. are so educated to the business
that they may even pay cameramen for
taking shots A good instance, although

who posed ON the White House steps
and offered cameramen 500 to take
his picture and send it to papers back
home. 1t seems certain friends of his

gradually these eloquent censors are be-
