DEPRESSIONS BEFORE

10 The Editor:
I was reading a sermon the other
day by a great English divine, the
Rev. Charles H. Sturgeon. 1t was
preached in London on Sunday,
March "A, 1886, 40 years ago.
He says: "In addition to this
trade, and commerce continue in
a state of stagnation: crowds are
out of employment and where
business is carried on it yields little
profit. Our Waterman asked if
they discern any signs of return
ing day, and they answer: No.
Thus, we bow our heads in a COM
mon affection"
Yet England arose from this
stagnation to afluence. Can we
doubt our eventual recovery?

MEET
MICHIGAN
TONIGHT

The last two teams Of the
collegiate group in and around
the city swing into action to-
night in games that will be their
respective openers Of the cam
paign.
The feature contest Of this
particular pair of skirmishes lists
the Maryland University-Mich
gan fracas at the Ritchie Coli
scum at 8 o'clock.
The co-feature will send the
American University five into
action against Maryland State
Normal in a game at the Amer
lean University gymnasium at
the same hour.
Are On Edge
Both Maryland and American
are on edge for their respective
debuts. The Old Liners can be
said to be facing the most pow
erful foe, as the Michigan lads
are rated as one of the best
basketball teams in the West.
Spider Chase, Rufus Vim
cent, Bob Snyder and the
Buscher brothers, Bucky and
Bernie, are expected to see most
of the action for Maryland to-
night.
American University will start
a brand new lineup against Mary
land State Normal lineup
green and inexperienced, but will
ing and determined all the while.
It will find Howard Rainer and
Ed Porter at the forward positions:
Hal Sampson at center, and Stan
ley Dove and Mel Wheatley,
guards.
Catawba Game Off
Coach Ted O'Leary's George
Washington squad was supposed
to play tonight, but the athletic
department has announced the
game is off the record books.
Catawba was supposed to have
been the foe.
The Colonials will get into ac-
ton a little later on in the week,
however, when they entertain
Geneva in the G. w. gymnasium
at 8 o'clock. This game will give
O'Leary's men another chance to
smooth out the rough spots for
more important contests later,
while it will also help O'Leary to
decide on what combination will
represent George washington reg
ularly on the floor during the
season.
Youngsters Feature
So far, the three local young
sters, Bill Noonan, Dallas Shirley
and Barney Kane, have featured
the teams lineup. In all prob
ability they will continue to per-
form regularly unless one or two
of the football men show up more
advantageously.
Then Sammy Stein and Jimmy
Howell have kept up a rapid
fire pace-a pace that offers the
impression that they, too, will
probably become definite regulars
as the season progresses.
Gallaudet has a game on tap
Saturday, when the Wilson
Teachers will be met at Kendall
Green at 8 o'clock. The Si!ents
have split even in two games so
far this season, losing last Friday

Yea, the boys finally got
around to it about three o'clock
this morning and would you
believe it the washington rep.
resentative only got out-voted
in one of the positions? The
Washington delegate was hell
bent on having Jimmy Foxx Tor
the all-time Babe Ruth ALL
America first baseman, but the
older, though possibly not more
sober, heads wanted George
Sisler and so we took a licking
standing up, with the chairman
rapping for order.
The remainder of the con-
sensus team embraced Hornsby,
Traynor, Cronin, Simmons,
Speaker, Klein, Cochrane, Grove
and HubbeIl. But we still like
Foxx over Sisler, and if the rest
of the gang liked a young,
modern pitcher like Hubbell
over Alexander and Vance, why
couldn't they be consistent and
pick a young, modern first base
man like FoxX?
Those boys are just a little
bit batty, or rather were, the
last time I saw them twenty
minutes ago in the turkish bath
of the New York Athletic Club,
and when they wake up some
time today and discover they
picked Sisler over Foxx, they'll
be more chagrined than ever.
Can you imagine it, Sisler over
FoXX! Huh!
All, we'll. I've always said
business before pleasure. These
teams should be picked early in
the evening, not early in the
morning!

Seek To Raise Ages
For some time it has been
known that efforts have been
made to boost the age limit for
entrance to Annapolis, However,
these efforts have failed due to a
promise by Naval staff officers
that flag officers must be avail
able to the Navy at certain age.
and, in oAder for this program to
work out, it is necessary to leave
the age limit for entrance to An
napolis where it is now.
1t has been pointed out by grid
iron observers that Navy'S mate
rial is about two years younger
on the average than that at lead
ing colleges and at West Point.
These two years, ultra-importallt
when it comes to turning out AL
elevens such as those of Michigan,
Notre Dame, Army, Southern Cali
fornia, ct al, and missing in Naval
Academy teams, have developed in
to a handicap which many feel
the Naval Academy never can
overcome.
Superior Material
Navy annually is called upon to
face college teams with material
superior in every way to that avail
able at Annapolis, but Navy's eX-
traordinary fight and spirit have
carried the Middies at times to
great heights. Always, however,
when pitted against top-rate
team, the burden Of proof is on
NaVy's eleven.
