CENTER ACE

T.OPLAY

The problem of locating q sue
cessor to Rufus Vincent, brilliant
center man for his basketball
team is the main bother confront
ing Athletic Director Jim McNa-
mara, of Dewitt Preparatory
School, nowadays.
Vincent. during the past two
years. has occupied an important
spot in the makeup Of Devitt's
fives. This year, however, it is
understood that he will be unable
to play in few Of the games, II
any.
Consequently Mcnamara is striv-
ing diligently to unearth a capable
successor and is having hard
time carrying out this task.
Andy G4eesOn, au-arOund
athletic star, has shown to
better advantage than any
Of the others and seems deS-
tined to get the job.
Under McNamara's tuition
Devitt's quintet is gradually TAX
ing shape and. with a spirited
field Of candidates in line, the
genial coach anticipates results.
A suggestion by Mcnamara
that athletics be compulsory for
all able-bodied students was ap-
proved and passed on by Devitt'S
faculty yesterday. Consequently
all hands will be assigned to
some activity Monday morning.
An tnterclaSs basketball series
Is expected to bring q number of
students into action while track,
lacrosse, swimming, wrestling will
also attract many.
Though held back by ILL.,

Bulls, the wrestling team will
resume action next WedneS-
day. A match. with Naval
Academy plebeS has already
been arranged while several
others have been tentatively
made.
Track, which will vie with Ia.
crosse as major sport this
spring, will in all likelihood be
coached by Clarence Dussalt, pop
ular Georgetown University half
miller several years ago.
While no official announce.
ment has been forthcoming it is
considered a sure thing that Dus-
salt will take over the team when
the call for candidates is sounded.
His knowledge of the sport and
personal popularity have placed
him at the head of the list of
candidates for the position.

TT is an independent city, like Alexandria
and Baltimore and perhaps a few other
places in the United States, and has a COM
mission form of government. One may get an
idea of its age when he learns that it was
named after the Prince of Wales more than
200 years ago, or in 1927 and it was incorpo-
rated SIS years later.
Fredericksburg has been quite fighting
ground up to and including the Civil War.
Even before it was founded, Capt. John Smith
fought skirmsh on its site with the Kappa
hammock Indians in 1908. These Indians had
their principal village at the mouth of
creek on the Rappahannock but had entirely
disappeared by 1922. They were of the Pow
hatan Confederacy and at this date numbered
in all about 400.
In the Colonial Wars it performed its part
with valor and distinction, and during the
War for Independence supplied Gen. Wash
ington with many of his best officers and men,
including Gen. Hugh Mercer, who was mortally
wounded in the Battle OF Princeton, January
g. 1777 and died nine days later. monu-
ment to his meizery vas placed in Laurel Hill

WeeQon, william Woodford, TnomaS PoSey
and Gustavus B. Wallace also rendered con-
spicuous service. Fredericksburg has a fine
statue erected to the memory of Gen. Mercer
and monument to the mother of Washing
ton, the only one in this country we are told,
erected by women to woman.
Its part in the Civil War was indeed tragic,
especially around the time of the Battle of
Fredericksburg, fought between the Union
Army commanded by Gen. Ambrose E. Burn
side, and the Confederate Army, under Gen.
Robert E. Lee, on December Is, 1862.
Burnside had been appointed to succeed
Mcclellan with whom there was general dis
satisfaction at what seemed to be slowness and
procrastination. That it sometimes pays to
not be in too big hurry was demonstrated
here when Burnside rashly tried to capture
the Confederate stronghold. Ideally selected
and perfectly fortified, it was practically inn
possible to carry Lees position, his army
being intrenched behind a long stone wall
and on heights crowned with artillery. The
fact that the Federal Army consisted of
about 10000, while the Confederates had
only $4,000, made no material difference for
it was the strategic position held by the
Confederates that counted.

ITHACA. N. Y, June 3O.-The teeth
were substituted in hearing for the ears
in an invention exhibited today at the
home of DR.. Frederick Bedell, professor
of physics at Cornell University.
The professors guests appeared to sip
their music through strawS as they lis
tened to a photograph, the sound of
which was inaudible to the ears The
seeming straws were long pieces of wood,
with sharp, pencillike points. The lis
teners placed the sharp points on a
tiny metal disc on a round, cloth-cov-
cred ball the size of big fist, that con-
cealed the mechanism of the invention
The metal disc was a special receiver
for the deaf transmitting its inaudible
vibrations to the wood. BY hitting the
other end of the stick lightly, the listen
ers could hear, and to two OF the audi
tors, at least, the music sounded as per-
feet as when audible to the ear.
Prof. Bedell said he pei acted the de-

The sound vibrations pass directly to

No ear drums are needed. Prof Bedell
said that only destruction of the audi

TREATY IS SCORED
BY 3 SENATORS
Johnson, Moses and Robin
son of Indiana Attack
Naval Pact.

BY the Associated Press.
In a minority report published today,
three members of the Senate foreign
relations committee set forth their
objections to the London naval treaty
and urged it be rejected.
The dissenting Senators were john
son of California, Moses of New Hamp-
shire, and Robinson of Indiana. The
pact recently was approved by the
committee by a vote of Is to 4, with
Shipstead, Farmer Labor, Minnesota,
casting the fourth negative ballot.
The minority report stressed in par
ticular the contention that the treaty
fails to give America equality in sea
power with Great Britain. And that
1t will not affect a saving to the Ma
tons taxpayers.
Debate to Start This Week.
The Senate today looked forward to
the, prospect of beginning debate on the
pact some time late this week. It is to
be considered at special session to be
called by President Hoover the day
after the regular session adjourns.
Moses. who is leading movement to
defer consideration until November,
attached a personal memorandum to
the report In which he said indecent
haste" was being used In obtaining
ratification.
The report said the three Senators
disclaimed militarism and jingoism and
that they "have ever been and still are
advocates OF fair naval limitation and
honest naval reduction "
The minority" it continued. ode
manded that no treaty in respect to the
United States Navy shall be ratified by
the Senate which is Instantaneous to
our country, which precludeS an ade-
quate national defense. which affects
mluriously the naval protection of our
enormous and fast-expanding sea COM
merce, or which destructively deals
with our relative position in respect to
other nations.
Lack of Report Is Cited.
"All these things the London treaty
does, and because it does these things.
and because it is neither fair nor Just
to the United States, we oppose it.
1T is a noticeable and a remarkable
fact that treaty for which so much
is claimed, opposition to which arouses
such pretenSe of indignation, is pre-
sented to the Senate without explana-
ton or report
Mr.. Hoover is standing firmly upon
his intention of calling the special ses-
sion as soon as the regular session has
ended. Weary Senators were wonder
ing today whether he would call them
into session on the Fourth of July in
the event Of Congress adjourning on
Thursday.
