Rent Runs Behind,
Sculptor Of Note
EViCted From Home

Amid scenes of wild excite
ment, Deputy United States Mar
ShalS today again descended on
the home of Prof. Ernest Durig,
1928 Sixteenth st. N. w. noted
Swiss sculptor, and evicted him
for non-payment of rent.
Mrs. Durig, who has been suf-
fering heart ailment, collapsed
as the eviction order was served
on her
MarShals J. M. BeardSley and
w. F. Fitzgerald, after a tele-
phone conversation with Chief
Deputy Thomas OFT. started to
move out the Durig'S possessions.
AS they started packing up
various works of art by Durig, his
daughters harp and other pos
sessions, preparatory to removing
them, the Professor, declared this
was "the most outrageous thing
that has ever happened"
Durig, who termed himself "a
friend of presidents, kings and
popes," declared, however, that he
had sent 5000 yesterday to his
attorney at Erie Pa, to pay the
rent, and displayed q post office
registry receipt for that amount.
Durig came to Washington in
1928, bearing letters Of introduc-
ton from the president of Switzer-
land and other dignitaries, and
since that time he has done busts
of many distinguished persons

Navy Opposes
Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 15-With a
basketball team made up of three
plebes Of last season and two
varsity reserves, the Navy has
won all three Of its games this
season, and has exceeded pre-sea-
son expectations.
On Saturday, 1t won from
Penn State, which had just
chalked up q victory against
Penn varsity, and it looks to the
game with Maryland here this
afternoon as a further test of
its ability to stay in fast COM
pany.
High Point Of List
The game with Maryland is
always a high point on the
Nays list, and the contest
should find both teams fighting
hard to win one of the key
games Of their schedules. Mary
land has a more experienced
team than the Navy, but they
look well matched.
Johnny Wilson, head coach
has done wonders with his green
material and looks forward to
having a strong team for the
closing games. The final objec
tive, of course, Is the Army game
which will be played this yeal
at West Point on February 20
The Navy plays Gettysburg Sat
urday and ends its January cam
paign with Western Maryland
Oglethorpe and William anC
Mary. It will try to turn in q
clean sheet for the month.
The Nays strongest team has
Alan Mcfarland and Frank Sha
mer at the forwards, Frank
Lynch, center, and Capt. Car
Fellows and Bill Ingram at the
guards. Fred Schneider and Roy
Krogh make a good pair of al
ternate forwards.
Football Players
Mcfarland, Lynch and Ingram
are third class men. Captain Eel
lows is a member Of the gradu
ating class and Shamer of the
second class. All but Shamer, a
varsity soccer man, played on
the varsity football squad.
For once, the Navy has a cen
