IMPROVEMENTS

Now that most of us forecast
great future for Sandy Beach, it is
to be sincerely hoped that proper
authorities will start immediate steps
to improve the beach in every way. Wis
iting racers declare that if certain
changes are made, the course will be-
come the most popular on the Pacific
Coast. That means they will return
again and again. Others will come with
them. We should strike while the iron is
hot and start building up this new as
set without delay.

HARDSHIPS-

Visitors should not condemn the
event or the beach for the troublesome
difficulties with sandy parking places,
or objections to absence of eating or
other Accommodations. A few short weeks
ago, the beach was barren and unviSited.
Over night, it suddenly was forced to
accommodate crowds which usually are
seen only at outstanding events near
large metropolitan centers. The result
ing handicaps were to be expected in
connection with a pioneering project of
such mammoth proportions.

Break Even

The basketball teams of the Dis.
trict got an even break on the
courts last night. George Wash
ington rolled and tumbled to vic
tory over the five of old Elon-not
Eli-by a score of A to 81. The
doughty little Eaglets of American
University edged out a last minute
victory over Lynchburg by score
of 81 to IS.
And now comes the dolorous
balancing of the ledger. George
towns HoyaS were trimmed by the
green-clad Jaspers of Manhattan
College to the tune of "a to "a,
whilst over at Baltimore the silent
men of Gallaudet defeated to
Maryland State Normal by a score
of Is to %.
Just to crowd on the agony it
is essential to note that University
of Maryland was defeated by a
score of 30 to 81 in battle with
Washington and Lee.
Rough Game
That battle between the Co
lonials and Elon was a strange
mixture of athletic dexterity and
breath-taking falls. The Elon
boys bounced around like a
troupe of Arabs in the sawdust
ring. There were times when
they might have been penalized
IS yards for clipping, but it was
all in the spirit of good clean
fun.
O'Brien with II points and
Kiesel with 10 points led the Co
lonial attack in this fifth victory.
Walt Young's blood pressure is
going up in leaps and bounds.
He had another heart tester to
watch last night as Harris and
Edwards starred in a great dis
play of skill. The latter's two
goals at the end decided matters.
Georgetown'S battle with Man
haitian was a battle and nothing
less. There were no fewer than
40 personal fouls called on the
players of both teams. Manhat-
tan converted IL of its % foul
shots while Georgetown made
good on 10 out Of IS free losses.
