memberships in its athletic
II association in order to enable
~ the general public to watch
its boxing matches this Win
ter, and, more than incidentally and
not the least important, to help raise
funds to support the team and other
forms of Winter and Spring sports.
Athletic Director Lou Little made
known his plans this morning and said
that while it would be nice thing for
the university to give free tickets as it
did last season. it would not be possible
to continue that practice.
It is the intention of Hilltop authori-
ties to sell ticket good to admit the
bearer to all Winter sports, including
boxing and basket ball, and to all
Spring sports. This ticket is to be sold
at a reduced price and will simply be
a seasons membership in the George
town University Athletic Association.
It is possible also that flve-day MEM
bership ticket may be sold to meet the
desires of persons who desired to see
only one or two boxing matches. No
decision, however, has been reached in
regard to the last mentioned method of
handling tickets.
Georgetown has one of the best
schedules any school in this section
has arranged. The Blue and Gray has
six matches and some of them with the
strongest teams in the intercollegiate
world. The schedule opens next week
with Western Maryland here. then fol-
low matches with West Point at West
Point and Navy at Annapolis, and after
that New York University, Penn State
and Dartmouth appear here on Febru-
airy %, March and March 8.
No decision has been reached as to
where the matches will be staged. If
the demand for tickets is great enough,
the Auditorium will be engaged and the
bouts held there If there is not Suf-
ficient demand for tickets to warrant
that, then the bouts are pretty sure to
take place in the Ryan Gymnasium on
the Hilltop.
Navy put up a great battle against
Pennsylvania in basket ball yesterday
at Annapolis. It was the first real test
for the Sailors and they really thought
they had an excellent chance for vic
tory. and they did. The score Of ~
to IS by which the Navy lost indicates
just how close the competition was. 1t
seems to be a part of the Navy make
iup in athletics to rise to emergencies,
and. while a Navy team sometimes
plays raggedly against mediocre OPP
ponentS it always seems to have that
form of real courage which enables 1t
to pull together and do its best under
the most trying circumstances. That
quality was shown yesterday and the
game against the QuakerS was a real
credit to losers as well as winners.
Last Fall the writer was of the
opinion that much of the Nays COM
paratively poor showing in the early
part of its foot ball season was due to
the untimely death of MyleS Fox,
year to be the greatest back Navy ever
had. Yesterday at Annapolis it oc-
CURED to the writer to ask one of the
Navy gridiron coaches opinion of that. |
The answer of the Navy coach not only |
corroborated what was thought but |
presented view of his own and other |
coaches feelings that was both frank |
and interesting.
1.-The death of Fox not only put a
damper on our squad for about half
the season and almost knocked out all
interest, but it just about killed the
coaches as well. Not only the player,
but We ourselves just did not have the
pep to throw into handling the squad.
With the squad itself way of form
and we, who were supposed to teach the
and low in morale, you can Just bet
that the unfortunate accident you
mention had its effect on our early
season showing. 1t Is remarkable to
me that we recovered so well as to
accomplish what We did accomplish to-
ward the end of the year in defeating
Pennsylvania and Princeton"
Four basket ball games in which
teams of the District college group will
figure are carded tomorrow night.

a. u.-G. w. contest and Catholic u.
freshmen SWamped Fredericksburg Col
legians, 81 to II, in the curtain-raiser
to the G. U.-Loyola tilt.
George Washington, which was play-
ing its belated opening game. made a
petter showing against American u
IMAM the score would indicate. The
Colon1als contrived to hold their rivals
to l5-ll edge at the half, but in the
last half the MethodistS stepped out
10 gam commanding lead. 1t was
the better condition of the A. U. play
ers, VINO have taken part in five games,
winning four, that proved a telling
factor last night.
Virtually all the A. U. players took
hand in the scoring. Bud Barrow
ana Reds Allshouse played most con-
sistently for the Colonials.
