Twenty-three hundred fans paid

in attendance.
Phil did plenty of two-handed
smacking on his own account, but
it was the remarkable, turtle-like
defense he wove around his head
with his arms which rendered
Bob Wilson'S Iethal left hook null
and void.
Furr would break out of his i'm
pregnable fortress whenever the
Florida Bomber let up on his bonn
bardment and drive home thump-
ing rights to Bob's head or a stiff
left hook to the stomach. Bob's
only effective blow was a short
right to the ribs. His leads to the
head were futile.
Wilson managed to clip Phil
only once with that left hook with
anything behind it. It was in the
seventh round and it Jared Fur,
but the champion dropped into
his shell and danced away until
he had regained his equilibrium.
Struck Low Blows

rounds.
The decision was not unani.

and Judge Henri DiSibour voting
for Furr and Judge Denny Hughes
for a draw.
Fur boxed brilliantly in
the first two rounds, keeping
Wilson at bay with a snappy left
jab to the head, as Bob tried to
get to close quarters. Phil began
to hook, instead of jabbing, his
left in the third round and Wilson
was registering with a right to the
stomach and a left uppercut, but
he couldn't do any real damage.
Furr let Wilson do all the work
in the fourth round. Bob had to
take several jolting right handlers
as he crowded Furr in the fifth
and sixth, but managed to even
things.
Furr Takes Play
In the seventh round Furr
stepped out handsomely, taking
the play away from Bob all the
way, boxing rings around him and
outslugging him toe to toe. Sev-
eral rights to the head followed
by swift, crushing left hook to
the stomach had Bob a bit woozy,
but he snapped out of it and
caught Phil with a left hook flush
on the chin and it was Phil'S turn
to cover up. Phil went back be-

NODAKS WITH
CONCERN
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Exclusive Of the Georgetown.
Maryland game, Washington has
only one intercollegiate contest
this week-end-the George Wash
ington University-U University Of
North Dakota contest.
The Colonials and Nodaks will
clash in Griffith Stadium, Fri
day night.
Catholic University's Cardinals
meet DuqueSne's Night Riders in
Pittsburgh, Saturday afternoon.
G. WIS coaches eye the North
Dakota game with not a little
apprehension. The Colonials have
been hard at it week after week
since the first game of the year.
These past three Saturdays have
found G. w. pitted against hard
driving foemen. G. WIS coaches
fear a let-down after the hard
West Virginia game of last Sat
urday-a game which followed
hard on the heels of two tough
ones against Vanderbilt and Lou
iSiana State.
Good Eleven
North Dakota is a good eleven.
The NodakS, or Sioux, as they
are often called, have won seven
and lost only one this season.
North Dakota'S latest win was
one over st. Thomas, 20. ST..
Thomas is the team which gave
Western Maryland such a ter
rifle beating a few weeks ago.
Only one touchdown has been
scored on North Dakota to date
this year, that the touchdown
which lost a game for the No
dakS, 7-6. The touchdown was
scored by North Dakota State.
North Dakota is the champion
eleven of the North Central Con-
ference. It has six men who de-
serve mention as football players.
They are Irving Kupcinet, 1876
pounds, 6 feet 2 inches tall, a
halfback and a fine forward
paSSer; Jack Charbonneau, S feet
II inches tall, 180 pounds. fast,
another halfback; AL SoWl and
Sunny Jim" Gehrke, guards:
Louis Chumich, tackle, and Her
man Witacek, 6 feet 2 inches
tall, 200 pounds even, and prob
ably one of the country's most
unique players.
Witacek has developed in a
single season into a sensational
ball carrier. He never played
football before this year. He is
swivel-hipped chap, fast, power
ful and possessed of an unusual
side-Step.
StandOut Battle
c. US game with DuqueSne Is
billed throughout the East as one
OF Saturdays outstanding battles.
Duquesne has quite a football
eleven, despite that 3-to-0 loss to
Carnegie Tech, and the Dukes
are ready for the visiting Cards.
More than likely, Coach Arthur
Dutch" Bergman will start his
sophomore backfield against the
Dukes. This is the backfield
which has flashed some sensa-
tional football this year. with
Sec1no and MakofSke looking
sweet football players.
The Duke-Card game probably
will be a battle of lines. c. US
forward wall has yet to be out
played this season and should
continue Saturday to play con-
sistently as it has all year.

HANNA ACCEPTS
CHEST POSITION
Capital Transit President
Named Chairman of
Budget Committee.

John H. Hanna, president of the
Capital Transit Co., was today named
chairman of the Community Chest
Budget Committee, to serve for the
ensuing year. Announcement Of Mr.
Hanna's appointment and lis accept
ance was made by Clarence Phelps
Dodge, president of the Chest.
Mr.. Hanna has been identified with
the Community Chest ever since it
was first launched in Washington. He
has been a continuous member of the
Board of Trustees He served on the
Campaign Committee and went to the
group solicitation unit as an area
chairman in 1881. In 1882 and 1888
he served on the Budget Committee
being chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the dependency group OF
agencies. He also served on the Cam
paign Committee last year.
The new budget chairman has been
identified with social work in WASH
ington for many years. For 20 years
he was member of the board of the
D. c. Council, Boy Scouts of America
and also served as member of the
board of the Y. M. c. A. for a term
of years. At present he is member
of the board of the Travellers Aid
Society
Appointment of Mr.. Hanna at this
early date is in line with the plans
of President Dodge to get the Chest
organization perfected this year at as
early date as possible. BY getting
an early start the Budget Committee
will be able to carry out its plan of
having committees visit every agency
in the Chest even more thoroughly
than last year, the first year that this
plan was tried out These visits en-
able members of the committee to get
a better understanding of the actual
work of the agencies and a conse-
Quent better insight into their needs
for the year.
I'VE feel that Mr.. Hanna's expert
ence with the Budget Committee work
and his known interest in welfare
work especially fit him for this post
and make him decided asset to the
Community Chest" Mr. Dodge said
today. His acceptance means that
the Budget Committee can be Or
panized at once and that it will have
time to give the most careful con-
sideration to the needs of the Chest
organizations for the coming year"

The complete elimination of park

car problem, he pointed out that the
operation Of the underground current

than the overhead trolley, has its dis
