Rev. John Hagen, S. j., Is the only
citizen of the United States included
in the population of the new Vatican
state, and, -ccording to recent news,
he does not intend to change that
status Father Hagen was for years in
charge of the Observatory at George
town University, and during his service
there he became naturalized, for he
was born in the Austrian Tyrol and
made his first studies for holy orders
before coming to this country. For a
quarter of century Father Hagen has
been chief astronomer of the Vatican
Observatory, but he plans retiring in
a short time and returning to this
country. The present Pontiff, like the
head Of the observatory, was born an
Austrian subject in that part of
Northern Italy long mourned by Lom-
hardy as I'll Irrendenta" But the
Pope automatically became an italian
citizen when Garibaldi's army drove
out the Austrians. Just 518 citizens
make up the population of Vatican
City. OF these almost 400 are Italians,
and the Swiss come next in number

privilege to furnish the papal guards.

Plan Which Columbia and George town Tested Last Winter Will Be Adopted Next Season.

New York, April s P1Thc plan which Columbia and Georgetown tested last winter of having three of ficials for basketball games instead of two will become official for east ern collegiate league games next sea- son. At a secret meeting here Sun day. the league executive committee decided to add a second umpire to the list of officials regardless of the action of any national body.
 This system, which posts an um- pire near each goal with an oppor- tunity to keep constant watch on the zones in which most fouls occur, met with the approval of every league of ficial who watched the trial and brought similar reactions from few tests in the middle west. The decision was that it resulted in faster, clean CT game and eastern league officials, those of the Ohio conference and at least a few of the western conference representatives arc expected to favor the general adoption of the plan at the joint rules committee meeting hero this wcck-cn

to New Britain, Coach Depot has brought track up to the point where New Britain High can be counted on to turn out teams that will give the opponents good fight at all times.
 A boy should go out for as many sports as he possibly can in the es- tlmation of Coach Depot, if only for the good that the sport will do his body. Having been an all-around man himself, Coach Depot encour- ages his charges to try their hand at all of the events at track meet so that if they do happen to have it in them to be good in any event, it will be brought out by the trials. Also, Tn trying out for various events, Coach Depot contends that. as the various different muscles are brought into play, they will be stronger throughout.
 Just at present Coach Depot is busy trying to rebuild his track team from practically nothing. All of the stars of last years team have been lost by graduation so that Coach Depot has his hands full in building a new team. The schedule is still up in the air because of con- flicting dates but no matter whom the New Britain team meets. Coach Depot is trying to build the boys up so that they will be able to give any team a good fight. Track activities will prObobly be transferred to Will low Brook park in the near future.

ENGLAND
 WILL WIN TROPHY
Cyril Tolley Makes Predictions
 About Walker Cup

New York, April 8 LP-Cyril Tol- ley, who ought to know a lot about British golfers, being amateur cham pion. believes that the team which will represent England against the matches at Sandwich in May is un- usually strong and that it will win the trophy.
 Returning to New York yesterday for the first time since the makeup of the British team was announced, Tolley said: T think it's an espe- cially good team, an especially strong one and it has been selected in a very business-lille fashion. I think too it was a very wise move to pick the team so long in advance of the matches. Usually our side has been chosen only at the last minute"
 A good eighth man for the lineup, in Tolley's opinion, would have been William Sutton, who defeated him in the final of the English closed tour ldillCilI ldSI tdl, buI uC NdS uOL Oll the list of eligibles.
 Another advantage for the British team, Tolley said. is the Royal St. Georges course, over which the matches will be played. It is diff ficult layout and has several blind holes which he believes will cause the Americans trouble.
 Tolley has decided to sail for Eng land Wednesday to get in an extra bit of practice in England before the big tournaments but still intends to return for his first attempt to win the United States open champion ship in June.

AMATEUR BOXERS
 IN SECOND ROUND
Four San Francisco BatlerS Win
 Bouts on Opening Night

Boston, April 8 tP)--Four tested San Francisco boxers will battle in the second round bouts tonight of the National A. A. L. amateur box ing championship tournament. Fighters from 14 other cities who were also winners in the first round matches will also be in action.
 Four men from the Golden Gate city won their first fights and three others drew bycs in the first round. and Chicago each scored three vic tories in the first round battling.
 Thirty bouts were run off on the first nights program, which ended early today. TWenty-thrcc went the full length of three rounds, three ended with legitimate knockouts and four were stopped by the ref cree. A crowd of 5000 attended.
 The teams from New York, Wash ington, Cleveland. Worcester, Mass, and Boston each had two winners. Seven other cities, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Ore, Hono- lulu, Grand Rapids. Mich, Union- town. Pa, and Norwich, Conn.,, were represented by one successful fight CT in the first round.
 Tho committee plans to put on 32 second round matches tonight to reach the scmi-finals stage. Ninety four boxers were entered in the eight divisions.
 One of these overtime affairs, the 135-pound clash between Norman White of New Orleans and Stanley zubnsky of Grand Rapids, was the most sensational affair of the open ing session. Both of these boys piled up the same number of points in the three rounds but the New Or leans entry finished the stronger after slugging toe-to-toc with his rival for nine minutes.
 In the extra session, Whites wild left and right hooks landed often enough to draw the favorable at tention of the judges.
 
 other 1S5-pound affair, had an un- usual ending. William Prick, soldier ! from Honolulu and the 135-pound champion of Hawaii finished the third round even with Francis Car f ter of Worcester, The latter.' how ever. caught him with a hard right to the jaw early in the extra time and won by a knockout.
 Though minus all of the eight 1929 champions, the battling in this current championship tourney ap- peared 10 be much more scientific | than in previous years. This i'm provemcnt was due to the various X. 4. l.. sectional organizations which picked their teams with much moro care than in the past.
 1 Nincty-four boxers weighed in and ! of this number but 60, saw action in the first round battles. All of the , survivors, the victors and those fla vorcd by the draw, will battle to- night when 32 second round bouts will be put on. When these arc over the field will be whittlcd down to 1 the scmi-hnals stage in each of the eight divisions.
 1 The battles to date include six in | the 112-pound class: one in the 11S- pound class; eight in the 12G-pound | class: six in the 1S5-pound class; l three 147-pound engagements; foui among the 160-poundcrs and ono each in the light heavyweight and l heavyweight divisions.
