OWNS
100000 BOOKS
Survey Shows That Wash
ingtonians Enjoy Excep-
tionaI Library Facilities.

Washington possesses extraordinary
library facilities both in number and
variety of books, it was disclosed yester-
day In a report by Rufus S. Lusk, direc-
tor of the master community survey OF
the Board of Trade.
Mr.. Lusk revealed a total OF more
than 5000 900 books are contained IN
1872 libraries and branches of the Fed
eral Government, schools, associations
and other organizations. Chief among
them" he said, ARE the magnificent
Library of Congress, the great collection
of books-many specialized and techn1-
calm the 10 Government departments
and other governmental agencies, and
the large assemblies in the libraries OF
many institutions of scientific research.
Stressing the importance to the pub
lie of the Library of Congress, Mr.. Lusk
declared a recent annual report OF the
secretary of that institution showed no
library in the world has grown as has
the Library Of Congress.
Its books" Mr. Lusk added, now
number but few thousand short OF
1000 900. 1t has extensive and rare col
Iections Of manuscripts, facsimiles,
maps, music, prints, photographs. etc.
Housed in the largest library building,
erected entirely for library uses, the Ii
brary collection is the third largest in
the world"
Significance also was attached by
Mr.. Lusk to the libraries of the Smith
sonian Institution. the Carnegie Endow-
ment, the Carnegie Institution and the
National Academy of Sciences. He
pointed out that these libraries con-
tanned much that could not be classified
as books in the form of manuscripts.
pamphlets. leaflets, maps and prints OF
inestimable value.
1.-THE Public Library" Mr. Lusk re-
ported, housed in a building, the gift
of Andrew Carnegie, and supported
largely by governmental appropriations,
is very popular with the people of
Washington. With only three branches,
the Takoma branch, the Southeast
branch and the Mt. Pleasant branch.
this lack Is overcome by the use OF
such organizations as social settlements,
Y. M. C. A. schools, ETC., as distributing
agencies. -
Among the other libraries in this
city. the collections of the Columbia
Historical Society and of the Board Of
Trade contain much that is of UNUSUAL
local Importance and interest. The

contest in each sport annually. In
other words, Harvard would play
only Yale in football and would
have no other games, under this
suggestion. In baseball, basketball,
hockey, track and other sports
Harvard would play Yale only and
dispense with the rest of its scehd-
ule.
The Greeks thought one great
contest of a kind in a year enough
to sustain the ardor in athletics, :"
said Lowell. May it not be that a
single intercollegiate meet in each
sport would do the Same?"
Kojac, in speaking over radio sta
ton WOR Monday night, accused
colleges and universities of diverting
the minds of young men from edu-
cation by PROSECUTING and subsidiz-
ing.
Kojac said that after he had es-
tablished one world record while
attending high school in New York,
the matter of what school he would
attend caused great concern among
numerous colleges. Letters, tele-
grams and personal visits were
showered on him, Kojac said.
"I admit 7 was f1attered and be-
widered by these offers" said Kojac.
II am glad that I realized later I
would not get an education by &C
cepting them, but merely degree.
1 wanted to be doctor and came
to Rutgers without a scholarship or
any aid whatsoever"
Kojac urged the adjustment Of
all athletic scholarships, but admit
ted that such a time seemed a long
WaV off.

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Jan. L
Indiana university's basketball
team, twice defeated in as many
starts will make its final attempt
to break into the pre-conference
win column tonight in the annual
tilt with Notre Dame here.
Notre Dame has played incon-
sistently this season. dividing
pair of contests with Northwestern,
favorites in the conference title
race. and dropping a close decision
to Ohio State. one of the dark horse
entries in the chase. The Irish also
hold victories over three early sea-
son foes.
Indiana has been dropped by De
PAW, Pittsburgh and PENNSYLVANIA.
In each game the Hoosiers have
shown improvement. One OF the
main problems facing Coach Dean
has been to find a running mate for
Strickland at forward.
B. Miller of Waldron probably
will get the call tonight. Zeller and
Massey, sophomores, are other can
didates. Captain McCracken, who
has led the Hoosiers in every game
this season, will start at center,
with Jasper ready to relieve him.
Weller probably will get the call
over Eber at floor guard, and
Blagrave may displace the veteran
Gill in the back guard post.
Coach Keogan will select his for
ward starters from Newbolt, Nc
Carthy and Grove. De Cook prob
ably will be seen at center, with the
veterans, Smith and Donovan, at
guards.
The game will give Indiana a.
chance to gain a 500 ranking in the
state collegiate conference. The

/ previous state game by De Paw,
and will not meet Purdue or other
members Of the league.
