W ing big preparations for
" its annual varsity &C"
dinner tomorrow night
and expects the largest gathering
that has ever attended the annual
celebration of athletic triumphs.
Former Georgetown men from
far and near will mix with pres
ent-day students, and with them
as guests are to be many men
prominent in the public life of the
Nations Capital.
The dinner is to be held at the May
flower Hotel at $50 o'clock.
I'VE expect tomorrow nights dinner
to be the biggest since We inaugurated
it as a part OF our annual athletic pro-
gram" said Gabe Murphy, graduate
manager of athletics, this morning. We
have received more subscriptions than
in previous years and it begins to seem
that we shall have considerable diff
eulty taking care Of everybody.
In erecting special decorations and In
planning the stunts We shall have. The
dinner will be along the same line as
the dinners of previous years, although
we have what we think Is a little better
program than usual"
ZACH year 1t has been customary to
IL bring here some prominent foot
ball coach and this time it is Jock"
- fcA1 yfJhn lie
make the gridiron talk. Sutherland
formerly coached at Lafayette and
then followed Glen Warner at Pitts
burgh. Both at Lafayette and at Pitts
burgh he has turned out some of the
greatest teams the East has produced.
"Doc" White, former Georgetown
pitcher and undoubtedly one of the
greatest hurlers base ball has known,
Is to hand out the letters to the Blue
and Gray players who have this year
won their insignia.
AS a matter of fact, the annual din
ner to Georgetown athletes actually is
something bigger than that 1t has de-
veloped into an annual feature around
which Georgetown men rally with a
greater university generally as their
ideal and objective. And Gsorgetown's S
growth in recent years is in no small
way due to the remarkable loyalty OF
its alumni and the spirit engendered
through just such gatherings as tomor-
rows promises to be.
COACH JACK FABER of the Mary
~ land lacrosse team says that
schools in the far South that sup
port lacrosse simply have not developed
in the game sufficiently to have an
e. en- chance against teams that have
Cos. (.nnrnio q
Tech and Georgia have good material,
tLat is. material potentially good enough
to develop into strong lacrosse teams,
but the value that comes from having
played the game for long while is
lacking.
The members OF the Georgia team,
for instance, have all the qualifications
CT good lacrosse players. and If they
were in Navy or Maryland uniforms
would be heard from even before the
end Of the present season.
JOHNS HOPKINS is banking on hav-
j ing the best lacrosse team that has
ever worn its colors. One enthusi-
astic Hopkins graduate said that I'VE
shall have before the middle of May
the best lacrosse team We have ever
had, and be far stronger than we were
ut that time last year"
Hopkins has back the majority of
players who made such good record
last season, fast, clever stick-han-
ding array. OF course, every one Of
the strongest four or five college
twelves in the country have in mind
the Olympic trip Hopkins won the
American title in 1928 and went abroad
to the last Olympic games.
