FRENCH HOPES RAISED.
Optimism Is Expressed on COnversa-
tiOnS in Warsaw.

PARIS. April 3 (P).-Poland's re-
ported willingness to consider pan
European security" pact was greeted
today in official French quarters as
holding out hope for a wide, flexible
peace system which will guarantee
the security of Europe.
Optimism was expressed that the
results of the conversations just con-
cluded in Warsaw by Capt. Anthony
Eden, British lord privy seal, will
bring a definite basis upon which
France, England and Italy can work
in their forthcoming conference at
Stresa to produce general agreement
and reduce the present War-scare
tension.
France is being kept in close touch
with Capt. Eden's activities and this
nations own plan for peace system
within the League of Nations will be
modelled on the results of his talks,
the French seeking to adapt their
original idea of an Eastern European
pact to the present European situa-
ton.
French Not Surprised.
Poland's opposition to the Eastern
pact long has been known and the
French declare that consequently, they
are not in the least surprised at Po-
lands refusal to enter that agreement
in its present form
The French, however, welcome the
proposed bigger European pact as
more subtle and likely to get the sup
port of a far greater number of ma
tions. The French will insist. never
theless, that the essential guarantees
which would have been established by
the Eastern European pact be included
In the larger European accord.
Meanwhile, assured by Premier
Flandin that the French army would
maintain a solid steel barrier on
the German front, France moved to-
day in new direction toward peace

and eloquently, reported on measures

fidence in him, 410 to 1874 The Par

mo, Jack, you won't fool any
one that way. You know more
about the play than that.
Boys Willing
"We've had some fine days out
here together" Dobson took up
the theme of chat with your
agent. THE boys are doing all
they can do to play the game
the way we want them to. We
had a tough break or two with
Indiana or the result of the game
might have been different. But
that's over and now we're going
after Georgetown.
They'll be tough to beat"
said Faber, with a shake of his
head. They lost a tough one to
Albright, which was big and
tough and at least experienced.
But they've come on now.

are comparing New York Uni
versity to Princeton, saying that
the Violets would make a real
Rose Bowl bid.
well, if that's so, Georgetown
must be pretty good. They lost by
a single point to New York Uni
sersity. Looks like we're in for a
days work with those Hoyas."
All that Faber says is true. The
Hoyas were within one point OF
the New York University gang OF
touchdown makers, and it should
be a day of work. But Maryland
has the stuff to make a day OF
workout of it for Georgetown.
Ennis Real Gridder
This boy Lou Ennis at end looks

he went out on the field. He has

on the field you see just how fast
he is. He weighs 100 pounds, and

Injured in the West Virginia
victory over a month ago, Mahan
was regarded lost for the bal
ance of the season. Until last
week his right hand was in a
cast, but he has enjoyed a re-
markably quick recovery and will
be able, according to Trainer
Roland Logan, to go at top speed
next Thursday.
In the meantime Tuffy Lee
mans and Red Rathjen, G. W.'s
ace back and center, respectively,
are on the SidelineS with ailments.
Leemans yesterday underwent an
operation for boils on his right
arm, while Rathjen is suffering
a recurrence of the shoulder in
jury that laid him low before
the Davis and ElkinS game. Logan
expressed confidence, however,
that both will be ready to battle
the invading North Dakotans.
The Sioux, or NodakS, as they
are called, are in Baltimore ut
present, drilling for their Satur-
day engagement with Western
Maryland College in Baltimore
Stadium. They haven't lost q
game to date this year and hold
the North Central Conference
championship. Last year they
defeated George washington, Z
to O. on a blocked kick.
It was announced today that
all holders of G. w. season tickets
will be entitled to sit in special
reserved section at Central Stad-
ium Turkey Day. All required OF
them is a visit to the G. w. U.

Four Card Stars
To Play Last
Ti|t Nov. B

Four members of the Catholic
University football team will WING
up their college football playing
days at Catholic University
Thanksgiving day, when the Cardi
mails ring down the curtain on
their 1885 grid season in Griffith
Stadium against the powerful
North Carolina State team.
Three to Bow
The lads, three Of whom are
regulars, who will bow out OF
the C. U. football picture are Capt
Ed Karpowich, tackle; Bill La
jousky, guard; George Mulligan
and Hal McGin1, ends.
McGann, who has been re
serve since early last season, has
started the last two games against
Western Maryland and West Viz.
ginia Wesleyan, and has played
fine football, his blocking as good
as any on the team.
Save for a holiday Monday
Coach Dutch Bergman will con
tinue to drill his club daily, with
the usual hard workouts against
the freshmen carded for every
other day. Bergman is hopeful
that the rest from the grid wars
Saturday will round his entire
corps of crippleS into shape.
Pair Still injured
Only Hermie Schmarr, brilliant
left end, and Vic Sochon are hob
bling around. Schmarr has been
conspicuous from the starting
lineup ever since the debacle with
De Paul, while Sochon pulled ur
with an injured leg in the West
ern Maryland tilt last Saturday
Sochon is a sophomore and is a
substitute for Bill Lajousky.
AS Schmarr Is expected to be
ready for the Wolfpack assign
ment Turkey Day, the Cardinals
are expected to put their full
strength on the field for the first
time this season. It was hoped
that Schmarr would be ready last
week, but save for a single play
the New Britain wingman viewed
the battle from the sidelines.

Those boys out at College Park
are primed and set for a gala day,
confident of victory, but sure
that the Hoyas are going to play
a whale of a ball game. Through
all the whoop de doc of a rip
rarin' practice yesterday there was
a splendid spirit that we find only
where boys are playing the game
for the sake of the game; willing
to give their last ounce for victory.
but not making the victory itself
their goal.
Frank Dobson, splendid gentle
man and master coach, greets you
in the locker room with the easy
grace of one to the manner born.
He is glad to have you observe the
Terps in their practice. Busy in
diagramming certain changes in
the Maryland attack for Satur-
day, he keeps up a running fire
of chat as he deftly sets the de-
tails of the men on the board.
Georgetown men would like to
see those changes, which were
carefully erased after all the boys
had studied their assignments.
Jack Faber On Hand
Jack Faber is also on hand to
extend the courtesies Of the field.
All you hear on the field is how
glad the boys are to play George
town and how hard they're going
to try to win.
You come away impressed with
the, spirit of the boys and you
compare it with the fine, spirit Of
the Georgetown warriors, Of Joe
Meglen, of Tommy Keating and
the others. You feel that this
Hoya-Terp battle will become the
traditional game Of the District OF
Columbia. You wish, too, that a
Washington conference could be
formed and that the several local
teams could work out schedule.
Get that ball away just a split
second faster" DobSon Seid to one
Of his backs who was slightly off
on his timing.
Surely we want to win against
Georgetown" he said to your re-
porter. "I guess Georgetown
feels the same way about it.. It
will be a hard-fought game from
start to finish, and it will be a
clean game with fine spirit

Johnston Again
On Spot At
Garden
By DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 QN.SO
Jimmy Johnston, Madison Square
Garden matchmaker, has been
fired so often by the sports
writer's, in print, that we are
beginning to wonder whether it
isn't soon time for him to be
fired by the management-in
self-defense.
James Joy. at an annual re-
tainer in the neighborhood o1
about $15,O0O-not an inexpen
sive neighborhood, at that-haS
brought little joy to the Garden
front office, not to mention the
minimum of dough he has
brought to the box-office.
Draws 5000
Last week, Johnston put on a
fight between Lou Salica and the
brown Escobar for the bantam
title. In drawing 5000, the fight
exceeded even our expectations
This week, he is staging a bout
between frankie Klick and al
Roth.
The supposition is that neither
Klick nor Roth mean anything,
one way or another, to the boxing
game, and even less to Johnston.
The matchmaker may be excused
for presenting the affair on the
ground of self-juStification. In
other words, the fight might be
termed the means to an end
probably a dead end.
Along in December, Joe Louis
will fight for the Christmas fund
under Garden auspices. The
sacrificial lamb, in this instance
will be a strange gentleman by
the name of Uzcudun. We love
the gentleman, but we're sure the
customers won't.
Out for "COffee"
Jacobs, who has no board o1
directors, will put on another Louis
fight against the winner of the
Ray Impellietere-Ford Smith meet
ing Again, Johnston was out fol
coffee when the papers were
drawn up.
Again, we are not blaming John
ston. In the first place, the Gal
den will give him no money. Ir
the second, he's not a match
maker. He's a manager.
Maybe there's a third place. Il
so, Mr.. Johnston can probably
supply it. He generally thinks Of
everything.

Coach Dan Ahern, at Western
High School, didn't know who
any Of his backfield men were
when he started practice sessions
at the Georgetown institution last
September.
But he soon noticed a little
youngster by the name of Hatch,
after several drills, and immedi-
ately he gave him a regular posi-
ton as one Of the teams half
backs.
1t was not long before Johnny
began doing things for Western.
To make it complete, the entire
Western attack began functioning
completely around Hatch's Shoul-
ders. Today, the lad has stamped
himself one Of the best backfield
men Western has ever had, also
one of the bright players of the
interhigh series drawing to a
close.
Johnny is an expert tennis
player besides being a topnotch
footballer. This is his last year at
