Boxing, WrestIing-AISo
Has Serious Side.
BY H. c. BYRD.

morrow night is to hold
~ about the most unusual
athletic carnival ever
staged by a local institution. AS
a matter of fact, the affair is
not to be an athletic carnival
alone, but what amounts very
nearly to an indoor exhibition OF
all activities at the Brookland
school.
The events range all the way from
sack races, boxing and wrestling con-
tests and entertainment by the Glee
Club to serious addresses by olsG IN
ruished men. The first event is 10 pc
Gin at 8 o'clock. In addition to the
competitions and exhibitions and other
entertainment, insignia are to be
awarded to athletes of the several
squads.
I'VE plan this an annual affair"
commented A. J. Bergman. athletlc
director because we believe that some
thing of the kind will do much 10 oe-
velop morale and provide fine MD
Winter diversion for our students. WnaC
Catholic University has lacked IN the
former wears is something around when
the student body as a whole can oullo
a lasting morale and create general
recreational interest. We nave 50
worked out our program that tnere Is
hardly any type OF activity tnaI VIZ
another. For instance, the dramatic
talent is furnished by the University
dramatic Association, the quartet py
the Clee Club, the boxing eXhloltollS
by the boxing team, and so on.
such novel programs as we tant
for tomorrow night usually create aOouC
as much interest generally among tne
etudents as anything 1 know OF. 1t
is something of an indoor circus, ana
while apparently somewhat new 10

.I,,4
ball games this week, one away and
two on its home floor. The Buff and
Blue goes to Annapolis Tuesday night
70 face Johns in the second game
between the two schools within week
and Saturday entertains Drexel Instt-
tute here as its most important con-
tests. Virginia Medical College comes
here Friday. The local school has vic
tories over all its prospective opponents,
st. Johns having been whipped last
week on the local floor and Drexel and
v. NJ. c. having been given the same
dose early in the season. However,
George Washington had plenty of trou-
bic in two of these games, and they
ought to be closely contested and at
tractive.
Georgetown is scheduled for only one
court game this week, that in Balti-
more with Loyola College. And in that
the Blue and Gray will hook up with
tough opponent. Loyola liz about as
strong as any college team in the sec
ton and is made up of more expert
enced players than Georgetown.
Catholic Universitys five takes an
other trip, being due TO play on foreign
floors Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights. The first game is with the st.
Johns College of Brooklyn, the next
with 1o7th Regiment Of Brooklyn and
the last with Seton Hall at South
Orange, N. ]. ....
In speaking of Catholic University
basket bail. one feature of its play this
year has hardly been given the credit
It deserves. In fact, with the exception
of accuracy in dropping the ball through
the hoop, the Brooklanders have been
almost, II not quite, as good as most Of
the teams they have played against. It
is IN their general floor work that the
G. u men have done exceptionally well.
They seldom have had difficulty work
ing the ball down under the basket but
have not shown that natural knack of
tossing it through the net for points.
Sheary, playing basket ball for G. u,
comes in for good deal of praise from
"Dutch" Bergman, athletic director and
coach Of foot ball. 1t is Bergman's
opinion that Sheary will develop into
one Of the greatest athletes C. u. has
had. "Sheary, in my opinion" says
Bergman, "is going to make one OF the
best athletes we've ever had In foot ball
last Fall he did everything well, and
in basket ball is starring. And, best
of all, he is the type of man with whom
1t is a pleasure to work"
