always is in these championships
where the pressure is terrific when a
field of 150-odd of the finest golfers in
the land gather to choose the 80 to
battle at match play for the national
title. Roger should qualify. He is good
enough to qualify in any field, and If
he can keep the fine edge he now has
he will be a cinch to make the medal
play grade.
Once in the match play he will
be a tough competitor to oust,
youngster whose shots are as
good as any mans and whose

not only is hard hit by losses through

Walter Slaird, really fine tackle,

reputed excellence of their squad, may
have more difficulty than they antlcl-
pate in finding man to fill his shoes
as well as he filled them. Johnny
Fenlon, who did the passing and good
deal of running with the ball, is an
other whose work may not easily be
eoualed. Wayne Chambers and Fred
Mulvey at ends and Frank Blackstone
at center are the other regulars for
whose positions new faces must be
found. Slaird and Fenlon may be the
most difficult to replace. although 1t Is
said that Carlin, who did not play last
season because of an injury, is every
bit as good a back as the latter. If
the Colonials have another tackle the

Jones plaved a Sicilian defense with
confidence and ability. On this thirty
second move he offered the sacrifice of

would be mated in two moves. To
avoid this result and save his queen,
Alekhine sacrificed bishop. Notwith-
standing this disadvantage, Alekhine
put up hard fight to the end. The
champion, with RP on the board,
against p and Kt, played for a stale
mate. Jones was equal to the situat' IN
and Alekhine gracefully surrendt cd
after about 10 moves.
"HERE was a large crowd present
throughout, standing two or
three deep back of the players.
Especially noticeable was the large
number Of women present; Among
them were Mr.. and Mrs Shepard Of
the Kings and Queens Chess Club and
Mr.. and Mrs John Roberts of the Ag-

fall. He was attempting to play pre-
pared variation of the Sicilian defense
and at the same time assist in the ar
rangements of the evening. He went
astray and resigned after an hour in

a Ruy Lopez and for 80 moves ap-

While Georgetown will begin its foot

that it is doubtful If any other school

foot ball teams, and few seasons IN
which it has not measured up ABOUT

same holds good in other sports.
Georgetown has an exceptional athletic
history, a history that should be com
piled and held up as an example 1or

Catholic University is new in
athletics, as far as bidding for high

ton and pointing out that financially

At the same time it was pointed out
that Perry, hero of both the interzone

 Swift movement of both action and story plot has been maintained throughout, setting pace for other melodramas to follow.
 While Paris Sleeps" is an orig inal story written by Basil Woon, one writer whose intimate acquain- tance with the little known and forbidden districts of the gay cen ter of art. fashion, and romance was gained after a residence there of more than fifteen years.
 McLaglen is. featured in a role said to be of great sympathy and poignant appeal as the father of a young girl cast adrift on the streets of Paris while he is serving life Imprisonment in a French penal colony. Helen Mack, Fox Films young debutante star, is seen as the daughter who is wooed and won by William Bakewel, another of the screens promising young Sters. Others in the cast are Jack LaRue, Rita LaRoy, Maurice Black, Paul Porcasi and Lucille La Verne.
