TILT PROMISES
FIERY ACTION
BY GARRETT WATERS

Local sport addicts have agreed
all week the fourth annual Cath
Ole University track meet tomor-
row in the spacious Catholic Uni
versity gymnasium will be put
down in the record books as the
most entertaining bit of athletic
activity Of the current school
term.
But they are admitting rather
slowly, but firmly, today that the
Georgetown-Pitt basketball game
also tomorrow night must be rated
among the better attractions of
the season, even though the con-
sensus of opinion is the track fes-
tivities at Catholic University will
draw the largest attendance.
Best of Year
This Hoya- Panther contest is
scheduled in the Tech gymnasium
at 8:45 o'clock. It will be without
a doubt one of the biggest basket
ball attract 0ns to have hit here
this year.
Most every collegiate sports fol-
lower is familiar with Pitts record
for the campaign. But for those
who are still unadvised or should
we say, without complete record,
the Pennsylvania team has won
thirteen games since the start of
the year in sixteen played.
Included in these triumphs have
been two successes against the
powerful Notre Dame Five, sup
posed to possess one of the best
basketball teams in the country.
Besides this, the Panthers have
waded right through the East
ern intercollegiate Conference.
Georgetown, at one time, had
chance to possibly overhaul 'em
for the championship, but a loss
to West Virginia last week multi
fled this opportunity.
No d. C. Victories
Pitt will face the Hoyas with
peculiar feeling of suspense to-
morrow. as the Pennsylvanians
have yet to win a Washington
game from Georgetown in the
last three or four years. In 1882,
the Hoyas won in a thrilling 33
to 80 game, with Tom Carolan
leading the way with 10 points.
Last year the Hoyas again tri-
umphed, % to 81, when Jack
Crowley potted shot from the
cenetr of the floor in the last
eight seconds of play.

Maj. Miller Recites
, His Qualifications
For d. C.. Ring Board

Some people hide their light
beneath a bushel and others
come right out in the open and
assert themselves.
In the latter group is Major
Harvey L. "Heinie"} Miller, the
first man to make formal ap-
plication to the District Com
missioners for appointment to
any commission here which
may in the near future super
wise boxing.
Heinie believes in not being
too late. A man with quite a
service record in the Navy.
Heinie knows what it means to
be behind time. Often enough
when a plain COB he was abb
sent without leave, getting to
the dock after his boat had
left, and he learned then that
taking time by the forelock
is essential, whether in the
Navy or out.
In one Of those strict, formal,
through channels letters which
are known best to people with
a service background, Major
Miller lays his qualifications on
the line to the District Com
missioners, and thorough job
Of it he has made.
He's Been Everything
Miller. in a word, has been
a boxer, promoter, trainer,
manager, referee and boxing
writer. There probability isn't
another taxpayer in the Dis
trict of Columbia who can
claim as much. That is an
iron-clad combination which
should appeal to the hardest
boiled Commissioner. and I
understand there are 10 such
in office at the moment.
Heinie'S experience as a
fighter dates from 1904 until
1909. The period from 1904 to
1905 saw him flyweight boxing
champion of Wisconsin, in both
the amateur and professional
grade, he having turned pro as
soon as he earned the amateur
title. The next year he won
the bantamweight champion
ship of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps, which is certain
ly covering a lot of territory.
The Boy Scouts prob a bly,
weren't in existence then or
Miller would have gone through
their bantam ranks as well.
Not in Training
Incidentally it seems strange
to speak of Heinie as a fly
weight or a bantam, in view of
his heft now, but I suppose at
one time in our lives we were
all feathers and banties, unless
the family album is greatly at
fault. Anyway, Heinie is a

Collins said the deal was consum-

Cronins approval, he said, was

The two schools first met in 1899
Since that time twenty-siX meetings
between them have been recorded.
De Paw has won twenty Of the
tits, Franklin 4, and two ended in
ties.
Franklin, although beaten twenty
five games to six, was the last team
to score on De Paw. Since that
game in 1882, De Paw has won
eleven straight shutout victories.
Bulldog Star Receivers
Buffers undefeated record will be
challenged by Wabash at Craw-
louisville. Coach Tony Hinkle's re-
juvenated Butler eleven has won
four games on its home gridiron,
and Saturday it faces its first road
tilt. James Wulle, star Butler half
back, will be back in the lineup, but
will be unable to punt because Of
injuries.
Two thousand extra seats have
been erected for the overflow crowd
which is expected. Wabash, with
a record of two victories and two
defeats, has pointed for the game,
but Butler rules a slight favorite.
Evansville and Rose Poly, each
with a single victory to its credit,
will meet at Terre Haute tomorrow.
Evansville, on basis of its showing
against Indiana State, Valparaiso
and De Paw is favored over Rose
Poly, which has beaten only st.

over Oakland City.

Valparaiso is favored to break
back into the victory column when
it meets Ball State at Valparaiso.
Ball State has won but one game, al
though it is the only team to score
on Butler.
Oakland City and Central Normal,
neither of which has won a game
this season, will play at Oakland
City. Central Normals weight and
reserve strength give it the edge.
Louisville will invade Hanover,
which has won two of its four
games. Earlham will entertain
Bluffton, O., a team which the
Hoosier eleven defeated 26 to Is

Indiana State will meet Eastern
Illinois Normal at Charleston. Ill.
The two teams are natural rivals.
Indiana State probably faces a

Manchester is favored over st.

Manchester. The latter eleven has
not defeated any of the Indiana
conference members, while Man

played.
