BOXING, TWO COURT
GAMES ARE LISTED
C. U. Starts Ring Campaign.
Maryland, American U. in
Basket Ball Tits.
BY III. C.. BYRD.

~ ATHOLIC UNIVERS SIT
boxers go into the ring at
~ Brookland tonight against
Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology to open their boxing
season, while American University
plays Elon College and Maryland
faces Washington and Lee on local
floors in basket ball games. All
three competitions ought to be
close, as the apparent margin be-
tween the contending teams is
practically nothing. The combi-
nation that gets a break or two
in each case should be the one to
win. At all three places the be-
ginning of play is scheduled at
8:15.
Catholic University has an untried
boxing team, but it is known that there
are some members of it who can go
along pretty we'll with the gloves. Dan
ny Pyne. for instance, was good boxer
while attending Conzaga. Ind he hardly
has lost any of his effectiveness in the
last four or five months of training.
G. U. believes 1t has better team than
it had year ago. Massachusetts, Tech
is something OF an unknown quantity,
although it was badly beaten by Army
not long ago.
Out of the seven bouts in the match
with Army, the Bay Staters won only
one, that taken by Cooper in the mid
dleweight class In that bout here
Cooper will face Blast, captain of the
c. U. squad.
When Elon College came here last
week and met George Washington in
basket ball it was thought that the
game would be matter of how many
points George Washington would win
by, but the actual contest put a differ
ent aspect on the situation and Elon
won by one point. That result is Sufh-
Gent to indicate that the game at
American University should be a real
contest, with the possibility hardly as
good as even certainly not any better,
that A. u. will win.
Early in January the University of
Maryland won from Washington and
Lee at Lexington, but right now the
Generals are playing much better
basket ball. Last night they lost in
Baltimore by three points to Loyola,
the same margin by which Loyalo
defeated Maryland two weeks ago
The game tonight ought to be just
about an even clash between two good
teams. That is, provided Maryland
is able to place its full strength on
the floor, which it did not do at Vir-
ginia last night. Otherwise the adj
vantage will lie with Washington and
Lee.

CASUALTIES in the ranks of local
~ college athletes as a result of mid
year examinations were almost
neglig BILE Emil Bozek Of the George
town basket ball team fell by the way
side, at least until he makes up back
work, the only man lost of varsity
team. Wilbur Wright, member of the
freshman basket ball team at Mary
land and generally regarded as one of
the best players in the section, learned
that athletes do not get by in the class
room on their basket ball ability and
dunked out.
The other man to drop out is Bob
Perry, second string basket ball player
at George Washington.
At Maryland it was said that
Wright's place on the freshman basket
ball team would be taken by Walker,
VINO recently transferred from Duke,
but, as matter of fact, Walker is not
eligible to play freshman basket ball
at Maryland, although he will be
eligible to play varsity basket ball after
a years residence, as he did not take
part in any sport at Duke.

the court. It's caught by the No. 2
forward very near the basket. And
another score for Pitt. All over like
a horse race. But how is freed so
quickly and so dramatically? That's
the point.
The answer is neat legal blocking
along the sides of the court. AS 5
starts his dribble you'll see 4 rush
back and execute a pivot in front Of
2's immediate opponent, a pivot that
legally blocks rs opponent from fol-
lowing g. That's why is Johnny
on-the-spot when whips the ball
to him under the basket.

L UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND took

" a severe bump last night at Vir-
ginia in basket ball. The Cavaliers
trimmed the Old Liners "a to 81 and
did 1t by playing better basket ball from
start to finish.
Berger, rangy Maryland guard, led
both teams in scoring, but his team
mates could not maintain the pace
they have set in other gamss. Then
again, Maryland was somewhat handi-
capped by the fact it used Ronkin very
little owing to an infected foot.
Berger scored 16 of his teams points.
Norris, center, was next with six, but he
went out before the end of the first
half on fouls. Mayo was leading scorer
for Virginia with 10.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
" has made, and will continue TO
make, a serious attempt to clean
up its athletic situation. 1t is adopt
ing program which takes its ath-
letics away from control by outside in
fluences and establishes definite univer-
sity control and responsibility. 1t is
no secret that the real trouble with
Pennsylvania foot ball has been the
warning outside influences which have
fought for control. 1t was one of these
warning factions that put Lud Wray
in as head coach and it was the other
of these factions which gained enough
strength last Fail to GUST Wray, de-
spite the fact that Wray's contract had
two years TO run.
1t is said to have been this situation
which caused Glen Warner to refuse
the job as head foot ball coach at S25,-
600 per year. According to those who
knew the conditions at Penn. the ap-
pointment by President Gates last Fall
of q committee TO look into the whole
athletic program at Penn presaged
sweeping changes. Penn has created
nothing new in the way of an athletic
organization, but has announced it will
organize department alCng lines which
at some other universities has proved
the most effective means of control.
Penn's athletic situation win become
more stable under the rev regime. And
the chances are good it will have far
better foot hall teams. And it would
have had much more successful elevenS
in the last three years had the morale
not been broken down by warning fac
tons of alumni.
In charge of the new system of con-
troll will be Roy Mercer, who has been
at Swarthmore for II years Mercer
is fine chap personally, has a good
deal Of ability and ought to be as good
a man to head up the new organization
as Penn could find.

Despite the fact that the stills

However, since Mrs. Langdon

The bandits drove the car
about a mile and, after robbing
Mrs. Chaplin, forced the actress,
her chauffeur and Mr.. Carpen-
tier out of the machine and drove
away. ~
The car was found by police
about three blocks from where
Mrs. Chaplin, Mr.. Carpenter and

1t was only with the greatest
difficulty that police, were able to
get Mrs. Chaplin to relate details
of the robbery, and even then she
continued to insist that she could

Whether Mr.. Carpenter was
robbed was not made clear. Po-

DepIOres Divorce Laws
The conception that marriage
can be dissolved through legal
methods or otherwise was sharply
opposed and denounced by the
Pope, who deplored the fact that
people seem willing not only to
tolerate divorce but also to ratify
it by law. He added:
Divorce is fatal for nature.
1t Ope' new avenues Of cor
ruptiOn i'm parliamentary and
public life."
The effect of the stage, motion
picture, modern literature and ra-
dio broadcasts on the divine in
Stitution of marriage caused the
Pontiff serious concern" He
said that these public means of
entertainment regularly offended
marital principles even to the ex-
tent Of praising divorce and excus-
ing vice.
Advises Chastity
He criticized those who claimed
that children are burden to be
avoided not through confluence
but in vice. He rOundly de-
nOunced birth control, labelling it
q crime against unborn children.
Elaborating on the subject, the
Pontiff declared he fully under
stands the fear of those whose
Sufferings would be too great to
permit children, but advised
chastity in place of contracep-
tion. Marriage. he pointed out
here, has far higher aims than
the mere satisfying of physical
passions. .,...,..
Pope Plus XII took deter
mined stand against the medical
necessity Of saving a mothers
life at the risk of the child's life,
but instead advised honest sur
geonS to strive their utmost to
save both. Legislatures were ad-
moniShed not to forget their
duty in defending innocent lives;
he maintained the excesses of
eugenics also called for sound
criticism.
Motherhood Avoided
The pontiff, referring to women's
emancipation, pointed out that
physiological emancipation means
nothing less than avoidance of
woman'S highest duty to man
kind, namely motherhood. In
the same breath he viewed
women's social and economic
emancipation as largely an ex-
cuse for abandoning of family
duties in pursuit of business and
other occupations.
Referring to mixed marriages
between Catholics and non-C Cath
olicS, the Pope stated:
MANY endanger their home
and eternal salvation when,
without serious grounds, they
enter into marriage which the
church wisely thinks is often
the result Of children straying
