The judges considered them so lightly that they did not enter their names and had to call time out 50 they could find out and announce who won. The same oversight occurred at the Roman pools, Miami Beach, the following week.
 Two oversights and two "hrsts'' caused officials to start keeping an eye on them at the Southeastern A. A. U. meet.

WAl4e general pubic interest

Washlngton-Tulsa University bat
tie in Griffith Stadium, the NOR
row will witness a return of the
gridiron spotlight to Georgetown,
Maryland and Catholic University
games against William and Mary,
Virginia Tech and Baltimore Uni
verSity, respectively.
Georgetown today puts the fin
ishing touches on Hoya combina-
ton which all HcTa supporters feel
confident will have revenge for
that defeat handed to G. U. last
year by William and Mary's In
dianS.
Led by the inimitable Billy
Gooch, graduate manager of ath-
letics at the ancient Williamsburg
institution, the William and Mary
Indians arrive today and will work
out in Griffith Stadium, scene of
tomorrow's game.
VICTORY BUOYS HOYAS
Buoyed up by their startling
win over Manhattan, but more
so by the united enthusiasm of
the student body, faculty, alumni
and friends, the Georgetown team
today seems an improved outfit,
even over last weekend, when, as
underdogS, G.. U. cracked Chick
Meehan'S Jaspers for a loop, 9 to O.
Where two weeks ago individual
units Of the Hoya squad were said
to be rather dull and listless, to-
day Georgetown is possessed Of
great drive. When spirits run
high among the players of the
squad, the legs always give the
old drive.
To Joe Saverine, fiery leader
of the Hoyas, Georgetown looks
tomorrow for the same sort Of
leadership he furnished as Man
haitian went down before the
drive of the HoyaS. 1t is likely
that Williamson, G. U. center,
will not play tomorrow, but every
one has confidence that Furado,
the giants understudy, will give
an excellent account of himself.

Tulsa probably will need its

that the weak ones would col
