 For one thing. they say I never wake up from my winter slumber until the second day of February. That's pure canard. I'm no :uch sleepy head.

HOYAS ARE SEEKING
INDOOR SPORTS SITE

Georgetown University must find a
new place to stage it's basket ball games
and boxing matches the coming season
as the Arcadia auditorium, which has
been used by the Blue and Gray, has
been converted into bowling alleys,
Last year with Elmer Ripley, member
of the former Washington pro team, as
coach the Hoyas developed bang-up
court combination. and 1t was Just
about the most successful season Hill
top five has ever enjoyed. Good crowds
assembled at the Arcadia and saw
Georgetown give some of the leading col
lege combinations of the East and South
the sternest sort of opposition. Boxing
bouts staged against teams of leading
institutions in the Arcadia was another
big feature of the Winter sports season
here.
Just what place the Blue and Gray
will secure to stage the highly attractive
contests it has arranged for the coming
season both In basket ball and boxing
is uncertain. The gymnasiums of George
Washington University and the new
Tech High School are among places
which have been mentioned.
