Therefore, what Catholic Uni
versity, and other local schools
also, must do in looking for home
games is to find schools that are
willing to schedule contests with
out much consideration for the
amount of guarantee to be re-
ceived. Those that are willing to
do that are few and far between.
Six colleges and universities are play
ing foot ball here. Sometimes they all
play here on the same Saturday, and
unless one game is especially attractive,
hardly corporal's guard turns out at
any. And for that reason local schools
cannot afford to pay big guarantees,
and if they expect to play big teams,
must go to foreign fields.
Georgetown has had fairly good home
schedules the last few years, and has
lost money for its efforts. 1t Is under
stood that the games scheduled here by
Georgetown for several years have run
up quite sizeable deficits. The other
schools cannot stand such losses as well
as Georgetown. Or, anyway, they have
not shown the inclination to take the
chance of mourning them.
Il can get all the games want away
from home" says Jack McAuliffe Of
Catholic University, but have real diff
ficulty getting good home games. That
is why I am somewhat Stumped now
for next Fall. We just cannot afford
to pay the guarantees required to bring
here the kind of teams we would like
to play on our home field. And sup
pose the other schools in Washington
are up against the same proposition"
McAuliffe has a lot of nice things to
say about young oliver, playing for
ward on the G.. U. basket ball team.
Not only is Oliver brilliant forward,
but he also is a great foot ball player,
one who could make almost any team.
Says McAuliffe:
THAT young Oliver is one of the best
natural athletes I've ever seen. He just
takes to any sport like a duck to water
You could not find better ball carrier
in foot ball anywhere, hardly. He was
largely responsible for the fine show
ing we made against VilIanova last
Fall. He took the kickoff and carried
the ball to Villanova's 4-yard line and
we managed to keep knocking at that
goal for a long while because of that
advantage. He can do anything in
foot ball and just about everything IN
basket ball."
University of Maryland is to have It's
annual banquet fer its foot ball squad
Friday night, preliminary to the first
of the two annual basket ball games
with Johns Hopkins. The banquet is to
be varied somewhat this year from for
n1er years, in that the entire faculty of
the part of the university located at
College Park have been invited. Nearly
800 persons will be in attendance
Maryland has never had outside guests
at its foot ball dinners, preferring to
keep them as something of family
get-together.
incidentally, there also Is very little
speaking and what addresses there are
have limit of three minutes. The
speakers, according to Prof. Charles S.
Richardson, chairman of the dinner
committee, will be President r. A. Pear
son, Dean H. j. Patterson of the Col
iege of Agriculture, DR.. H. B. Crothers,
Dean Hill Freeman of the Law School,
Senator Willard E. Tydings, John
O'Neil, president of the Student As
sembly, and Julie Radice, who acted as
captain of the foot ball team through
out the season.
Outplaying their opponents in all de-
partments of the game, the Eagles of
American University last night defeated
the Cardinals of Catholic University, Is
to 49, in the basket ball engagement on
the Brookland court.
The result was distinctly an upset and
was the Eagles first win over Cardinal
team at Brookland in four seasons of
struggling. The victory ended a three
game losing streak for the Eagles and
the defeat was the Cardinals fourth in
a row.
With Sells showing the way in scor-
ing, the Eagles were masters of the
Cardinals the entire route. The work
-cf Olsen at guard for the winners fea-
tured. They held a 12-to-6 advantage
at half time and proved a bit faster
than their opponents in the hectic sec
ond half.
