SOVIET STUDIES LEAGUE ENTRY.

MOSCOW, May % UP.-The Soviet
government Is considering very seri-
ously all the arguments in support Of
Soviet Russia's entrance into the
League of Nations" the official news
paper Izvestia announced today.
Commenting on the proposal OF
Louis Barthou. French foreign min
lister, for a Franco-Soviet rapproche-
ment involving the latters entry into
the League, the Izvestia says it is well
coined with great satisfaction by So
Wet public opinion and that it was one
of the matters discussed by Maxim
Litvinof, foreign commisSar, and Bar
thou in their recent conversations at
Geneva.
Applauding what it terms Frances
efforts to re-fashion the League into a
more effective instrument for the de-
fense of peace, the Izvestia says:
"The Soviet Union is capable OF de-
tending its borders against any danger
but this does not alter its duty to do
everything for the cause Of peace and
safety"

BRITISH DECISION UNKNOWN.
Course May Not Be Determined Until
Next Month.


LONDON, May % (P.-The Brit
ish governments decision regarding
its war debts payments due the
United States June IS is still to he
reached, 1t was learned from an un-
questionable source today.
From all indications. the Govern
ment's formal announcement Of what
it will do on the middle Of next
month will not be forthcoming until
shortly before that date.
Although the government Of late
has been turning over in its oficial
mind the method by which it will ap-
proach the debt question. the simple
fact Is that the key members of the
cabinet all have been out Of town
thus obviously preventing them
selves from reaching q formal and
final decision.
The consideration of the debt ques-
ton got under way seriously again
today.
All high Government ofhcials con-
cerned with the consideration of debts
are expected In London by tomorrow
in preparation for the reassembling
of Parliament. Wednesday, which Is
ordinarily cabinet day. will provide
them with an opportunity to review
the debts situation.
The formal notice that a payment
falls due June IS has been received
by the British government from
Washington. This reminder was hand
ed Sir Ronald Lindsay, the Ambassa-
dor. in Washington May rs and he
communicated it here.
The reminder consists Of q state
ment of the amounts due June Is, 1888;
December is. 1888, and June IS. 1884.
It was recalled that on the first two
dates mentioned Great Britain made
token payments Of $1o,000,0o0 and
$500, 900, respectively. The debt pay
ment due June IS amounts to $685.

CR|FF MEN ADD
TRIBE To LIST

BILOXI, Miss, Feb. 8.-Presi-
dent Clark Griffith, sojourning
here while awaiting the arrival
of his Washington Baseball per-
formers, announced today that
he had talked the Cleveland In
dians into two exhibition games
next month during the training
seasons of both clubs.
The contests will be played at
New Orleans on March 81 and
%. This is the site of the
Cleveland Indians camp. Prior
to the arrangement of the games,
the Indians had said they could
not play any more exhibition
contests.
But Griff, by some earnest
talking, got Cleveland Club Off
cials to agree to a set of games
even though they had to be
played in New Orleans.
Griff also had one other an
nouncement today. That was
the signing of Johnny Stone, new
outfielder acquired from the De-
troit Tigers.
Stone said he was completely
satisfied with his contract, in a
letter to Griff, and also expressed
the opinion that he would bat
300 during the 1884 campaign.

Lou is held by those who knew
him when he was coaching George
town elevens to fame, from 1924
to 1929. He leaves today for At
lanta, Ga, to attend a meeting OF
the Football Rules Committee.
Louis speech last night might
properly be termed, ''The Psyche

that when his Columbia team was
on its way to the Rose Bowl game,
there came a moment when his
team went from a team deter
mined to do it's best to one deter
mined to win the big game.

Texas School of Mines team" said
Lou, when the change in attitude
took place. I knew then and there
that we would defeat Stanford" "
In concluding his talk to guests
at the banquet, Coach Little paid
a great tribute to the Rev. Vim
cent S. McDonough, S. j., pre-
feet Of discipline and former
athletic director of Georgetown.
Lou gave Father McDonough the
credit for the success Lou has
achieved in football coaching.
Other speakers were Harry w.
Sullivan, former director Of ath-
letics at Georgetown Prep: Joe
Gardner, present coach Of the
Preps; Father Vincent McDon-
ough and the Rev. Robert S.

And why all this probable weep
ing and wailing?. Because the
Griffmen, as example Number
One, and the New York Yankees
and the Philadelphia AS, as ex'
amples Numbers Two and Three,
are scheduled to meet the former
tailenders in many games at the
very outset of the campaign-the
time when victories are needed
just as much as later.
Tells the Tale
The official 1884 American
League schedule, released today,
tells this little story. And what
a story! It most earnestly stresses
the fact that the Griffmen, in
particular, and the Yanks and AS
will be forced to put forth their
every effort at the outset Of the
C aign, where heretofore,
they've merely had to take it easy
kbecause of the lack of prowess In
the Boston teams makeup.
The Griffmen will be the first
team to buck up against the
Beaneater crew, as the schedule
reveals that five games in a row
will be played before any other
club is met. The first Of this
set comes on Monday, April 16.
This game will be played at
Griffith Stadium The next four
will be played at Boston where
the Yawkey-C CollinS- Harris per-
formers will be thoroughly at
home-at least before hometown
supporters encouraged and ex-
cited by the thought that at last
their city was represented with
a big league baseball club Of
noted power and strength. The
dates of these contests will be
April II, 18, 10, double-header
being on tap on April 10, Pa
triot's Day.
Jump To PhiIly
The Griffs Jump down to Phil
adelphia for three games begin
ming April 20, then return home
on April "a for three more con-
tests with the Big Bad Wolves,
er, pardon, the Boston Red Sox.
The Philadelphia AS make their
first appearance of the season on
April 27 for three games while
following that set comes a trio
of engagements with Babe Ruth
and Company, or the New York
Yankees, as some call them.
Manager Joe Cronin and his
warriors Jump out West first this
season, in direct contrast to the

The Western teams then come
East, with Cleveland openir- up
with the Griffs at Griffith Sta
dium on May II. The Detroit
Tigers follow the Indians to the
local bailiwick for games O May
20, 81, %, while the st. Louis
Browns and Chicago White Sox
appear on May %, "a. 25, and May
26, q and %, respectively.
In New York
The GriffS will be in New York
on Decoration Day, at home on
July 4 with the Philadelphia AS
a. their opponents, and at home
on Labor Day with the Boston Red
SoX as their guests.
The near finish of the cam
paign will find the Griffs on the
road beginning September S and
ending September 26. During
that period every club in the cir
cult but New York will be met.
The actual close of the season
will come on September 80 when
the Yanks will be the opposition
at Griffith Stadium.
But that seasons start again.
A tough assignment all right and
one that will test the Griffs, in
particular, to the limit. Still it
had to come sometime and, in the
end, the strength of the Boston
Red Sox will help the league

Lou Paints Picture
Of Stanford Incident
HurdLed Obstacles

Day his ColumbianS had both
elements in proportion.
With apologies to Steve Bara-
bas, who was in the room,
Little declared that brother AL,
who scored the Columbia touch
down, was not nearly so respon-
sible for that victory as the
quick-thinking Left Guard Pinck-
ney and Left End Mcdowell,
who functioned to perfection in
the play.
It seems that Columbia had
to overcome every obstacle in
order to perform that Pasadena
miracle. When it finally found
the game in its lap, it didn't
have enough able-bodied men to
scrimmage and for two weeks
with snow on the ground in
New York had to run plays in
doors, borrowing players from
Manhattan College to complete
the complement Of necessary
men.
Getting all of his worn out
gladiators back in physical con-
dition by the time it was neces-
sary to leave for the coast,
practices were arranged at st.
Louis University, then against
Southern Methodist at Dallas
and later with the Texas Col
lege of Mines, equipped with
Stanford plays. The latter were
so imposing in stature, Little
was afraid to trust his first
team against them lest injuries
ensue, so he let his second and
third teams practice first
against the Miners and when
the latter were beginning to
show some wear and tear, shot
his first team in on the defense
and it stopped the Stanford
plays.
Built Morale
This engendered a high
morale in the whole squad and
ultimately they moved on to
Tuscon, Arizona, for 10 days
of undisturbed and uninter-
rupted practice, three miles
away from the city with only
an occasional moving picture
thrown in to break up the
monotony.
It was there that Little per
fected the mental attitude of his
team, pointing them to be at top
form in body and mind for the
task which Western critics had
declared was folly for Columbia
to attempt, one observer going
so far as to say that all that was
needed to make the Rose Bowl
game a complete farce in view
of Columbia's presence there.
would be for the Four Marx
Brothers to officiate.
What happened is history and
the Columbia mentor graciously
passed all credit on to his team.
He claimed no responsibility for
ordering any of the plays and
declared that when Stanford
had Columbia backed up on the
one-yard line, he was not looking
at the play, but hard at the
ground in front Of him and
praying.
LOUIS was a forceful talk
which held every ear in the
house and at the end he turned
to Father McDonough and said:
"Whatever l am, whatever
little success I have made, I
owe to yOu!"
