Georgetown Is facing . hard
task tomorrow night. The
HiIItOppers hike to Baltimore
to clash with Johns Hopkins
and the latter are planning to
give q fierce battle to the pro-
teges Of Coach Elmer Ripley.
If Georgetown can successfully
hurdle the Johns Hopkins barrier.
it Is quite possible that the Blue
ana Gray will complete the season
with a record of ~ straight vic
tories. The HilItoppers have added
10 successive wins and have yielded
only to New York University this
year. They finish their season
against Virginia Poly Friday night
at the Arcadia.
Coach Ripley has not announced
his lineup but he may choose Capt.
Bob Nork and Fred Mesmer. for
wards; Don Dutton. center. and
Harold REDS" Meenan and Maurice
Mccarthy, guards.
Coach Teddy Hughes escorts his
Gallaudet passers to New Windsor,
Md. for a game tomorrow with Blue
Ridge. Gallaudet started the sea-
son with a rush, but slumped as
the season progressed. Hughes will
probably start Cosgrove and Dyer
at forwards; Cain in center and
Hokanson and Miller in guards.

nor Hunt was the principal
speaker. The Colorado River
controversy and Arizona's legal
fight to maintain her just dues,
was the subject on which Gov.
Hunt devoted most of his time.
During his interesting address,
Governor Huntin part said:
Perhaps the greatest prob
lem in taxation .confron ting the
people of Arizona at the present
time is How are we going to re
place on our tax rolls the valua
tions represented by the dwind-
ling mines. whose ore bodies are
either entirely exhausted or ap
preaching that condition?
THE state tax commission has
informed me that more than
$37, 900, 900 of value represented
by mines on the tax rolls since
statehood have passed entirely
out of existence as producers in
the past few years. They also
inform me that it is betraying
no secret when it is stated that
several of the largest producing
mines now on our tax rolls, are
approaching the end of their de-
veloped ore bodies, and are at
the present time energetically
trying to find new ore bodies to
replace the rapidly wasting as
set. No new mines of conse
quence have been brought into
being in Arizona during the past
twelve years.
Since 1912, when Arizona was
admitted to statehood. our mines
have paid on an average, ap
proximately so per cent of all
taxes which we have levied.
Unless new mines are discover
ed, or new ore bodies found in
some of the older mines, it will
be difficult, indeed, to maintain
this ration in the future. Second
to our wasting ore bodies in
point of importance from tax
alton standpoint, are the lands
owned and controlled by the Un
tied States government. More
than sixty per cent of our total
area comes under government
ownership and is therefore ex
empt from all taxation. This
has been one of the chief rea
asons Why state taxes have been
high during the years since our
state was admitted to the Union.
1t will continue to cause high
taxes, until such time as Ari
zona, together with the other
public land states of the west,
obtains ownership and control
of her own domain. and these

NAVY SUPREME
F.. IN GYMNASTICS

ANNAPOLIS, March 26-Tt is
believed that the Naval Academy
gymnastic teams record of victory
for eleven consecutive years, which
has just been brought to an end by
Dartmouth's victory. is only rivaled
in college sport by Yale's per-
Torrance at swimming and the
Naval Academy's at boxing.
There is no record here Of
the number Of years in which
Yale has stood at the top in
swimming. but the boxers have
completed nine seasons without
defeat in dual matches and
lost i'm the intercollegiate twice.
During eleven seasons, the Naval
Academy gymnasts won every dual
match and outpointed their oppo-
nents in every general intercollegi-
ate event in which they engaged.
The Naval Academy lost nearly
all of it's gym team by graduation
last year, and expected weak team
this season. Those connected with
the sport are confident that it will
resume it's former position next
wear.
