of speakers, Georgetown
University's annual Varsity &C"
dinner this evening, at the May
flower Hotel, at $50, seems in a
fair way to surpaSs any previous
function of the kind the univer-
sity athletic association has Spon-
sored. 1t is expected that the
number of those attending will
exceed 300, which should fill the
big banquet hall at the Mayf1oWer
Hotel to capacity.
Just what phases OF athletic life are
to be discussed by Senator La Toilette
and the Duke University athletic di-
rector are not known, but it is likely
that the Senator will touch on the in
herent and potential values of athletics
to the country in general, while Wade
is likely to deal more specifically with
athletic problems and their possible So
luton. Senator La Toilette, before he
attended college, was a student at
Western High School in this city, and
while there, was himself manager of
cne OF Westerns teams, so he has had
something of an intimate association
with local college and school athletics
over quite long period. incidentally,
the Senator Is an exceptional speaker.
having been mentioned by Frank Kent
in the Baltimore Sun as the most
forceful speaker in the United States
Senate" Wallace Wade also is a good
speaker. and that he knows the subject
of which he is to talk is a well eStab-
lished fact.
Besides members of Georgetown's
faculty and several men prominent in
the business and professional life of the
city, athletic representatives of several
institutions in this section are to be
present. Comdr. Reinicke of the Naval
Academy and Jimmy Driver, director
of athletics, University of Virginia;
Dutch Bergmann of Catholic Uni
versity, Dick Harlow of Western Mary
land College, John Smith of North
Carolina State College and RIP" Miller
of the Naval Academy have accepted
invitations to be present. Miller and
foot ball coaches Of their respective in
stitutions.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY finally has
~ arranged for two games to wind up
its foot ball schedule next Fall.
The Brooklanders are to meet st. Fran
els College on November 81 and Loyola
College OF Baltimore on Thanksgiving
day.
Both contests are to be played here.
Athletic Director Bergman is consider
ably pleased over arranging for these
final contests, as he was confronted
with quite a task when he unexpected
1y had the George Washington game
cut of at a time when it seemed too
late to replace 1t satisfactorily.
George Washington wound UP its
Spring foot ball practice yesterday with
a regulation game between two picked
elevens. The general feeling of those
that have watched the Coloniais in
their workouts is that the results are
very satisfactory. Coach Pixlee has
been working to perfect his system OF
plays for next Fall and execution OF
these yesterday was much better than
actually was expected
The George Washington coaches are
looking forward to the opening OF next
season with good deal Of optimism.
They feel they should have good team
and also they are satisfied that their
schedule is much better balanced than
it was last Fall. Tulsa University, North
Dakota University and Butler Univer-
Sity, all of which are to play here,
should offer plenty of tough opposition
and so will Iowa, which is 10 De met at
Iowa City, but there are number Of
small games intersp2rsed with these, so
that the problem Of keeping the team in
shape should not be difficult.
One thing in connection with the
schedule is that an attempt is being
made 10 put on a good Thanksgiving
day game North Dakota is being
brought here for a contest on that date,
and it ought to afford very attractive
afternoon.
TEORGETOWN bumped up against
" the real thing yesterday in the way
of a college pitcher and went down
to defeat with an awful thud. 1t was
Whitley Edelin Of Mount st. Marys
who proved the stumbling block that
effectively barred the Blue and Gray
march. He held the local sluggers with
out much apparent effort, with the re-
suit that Mount st. Marys went back
TO the mountains Of Maryland with
Georgetcwn's scalp hanging at its belt
by margin Of to 0.
It was not fluke victory either as
Mount St. Marys had IL men left on
bases against six for Georgetown.
Scalzi. who held down second fer
Georgetown. was the only man who got
more than one hit of Edelins delivery.
Mount st. Marys had its big time in
the fifth inning. when it drove five men
ever the plate. Its other run was scored
