ewes such as Dicks to see, are
carved the initials Of many, many
Hoya students, some Of them go
ing back nearly century!
Before Mr.. McCann undertakes
to browse through "The Walks
q veritable hidden garden-park-
he should look at the inscription
over the entrance to the White
Gravenor Building. There he will
see the name of John West
Brother John West-the man who
made "The Walks" possible.
Origin of "The Walks"
In 1918, John West, a farmer, OF
MONTGOMERY county, Marylander,
and q man of religious zeal, ap-
piled to enter the Society Of Jesus,
founders of Georgetown. John was
received into the order as a
brother. Due to his life OF sim
plicity as a farmer, John had &C
cumulated some money and with
this he purchased a great portion
of the land which became known
as 1.-THE Walks"
It was due to his patience, gen.
erosity and toll that THE Walks"
were beautified, and generations
of Georgetown students, especially
those who attended Georgetown in
the days when to depart the col
lepe grounds meant suspension or
expulsion, paid grateful tribute TO
Brother John West.
"The Walks" preserved for over
a period of more than a century,
once ran clear from Ryan Gym to
the present site OF the medical
and dental schools.
On various trees of THE Walks,
Dick McCann will find the initials
Of many famous men, among them
those of such stalwart modernS as
Floyd Gibbons, Lionel Barrymore
Wilton Lackaye, John Oliver La
Gorce and others.
During the famous Carlisle
Georgetown series of football
games, back around 1910-1913
Hoyas with a flare for Georgetown
history, prevailed upon Jim Thorpe
THE Big Indian" and probably
the greatest athlete of all-time, to
carve his initials on one OF the
great trees of The Walks"
The Hoyas, pressed for an his
torical reason for permitting "The
Big Indian" to carve his initials
on the tree, called attention tc
the fact that in 1887 shortly after
old Georgetown opened for the
fall semester of that year, a dele
CATION of Sacs and Foxes, Indian
tribes, headed by the famous chief
Keokuk, visited "the great house
of the Black Gowns"
Holiday for Students
Keokuk, so Hoya history records
won the applause of the HoyaS
Of those days by selling the presi
dent the idea of holiday for al
students of Georgetown.
The Sacs and Foxes were closely
allied. Later the two tribes merged
Jim Thorpe is a Sac and FoS
Indian.
The tree on which "The Biz
Indian" carved his name was cut
down, along about Father Creeden's
time as president, to make way
for a parking space for the cars
of medical and dental students
The tree on which Big jim
carved his initials was located at
the north end of The Walks, u
about so feet in from the edge.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-In a

ball to some teammate, who will
carry on until he Is hit, and If
there is another man of his
team there, the play will be re-
peated.
"Often times, the man not
only Is held so that his forward
progress is stopped, but he may
even be in the act Of falling
under the impact of the tackle,
and then he will get rid Of the
ball.
"NOw Of course, this all adds
to the action Of the game, and
1t adds to the interest Of the
crowds. But there are many
things to be considered in the
play. It Is clearly set forth that
the referee shall sound his
whistle when the ball is dead,
and it says that q ball is dead
when the forward progress
stops" =
"There may be serious develop
mentS to this play" was the
opinion Of another. 'Tf the
player can toss the ball to a
teammate after the forward
progress has stopped, then the
defense may have to resort to
rugged methods Of stopping the
play. There may be some
slOughing Of the ball carrier
with resulting injuries. This is
exactly what the rules commit

Has Its Place
The lateral pass has its place
in football offensives. It adds
to the color and the action of foot
ball games. But it should be
made while the ball carrier is fret
from tacklers. 1t should be rela
lively easy for a ball carrier anc
the lateral receiver to time the
play so that the pass would be
made just a split second before
the moment of impact.
AS a mater Of fact, it would be
a lot easier, and lot safer, tt
make the play this way. The bal
carrier could make his pass ano
attend to any blocking assign
ments, or could operate in such
o way that he would carry or

Compelling the ball to be
passed before the carrier is in the
grip of tacklers would prevent q
lot of "sloughing," and that

ABOUT THE TEN BEST"
The season for picking the Ten
Best Pictures of, 1886 has arrived
with Film Daily's annual ballot
received by critics yesterday.
Last year 451 critics cast a ballot
and the voting in 1886 is expected
to pass the 500 mark. More than
500 pictures released generally be-
tween November l, 1885, and Octo-
Der l, 1886, are on the eligible list
you won't find Romeo and
Juliet" on the list for the reason
that it has not been generally re-
leased, is still enjoying tWo-a-day
bookings and yet to reach the
small towns. That leaves Warner
Bros. with the only Shakespearean
picture in the entries, "Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" certainly
worth every critics vote if Holly
wood is to be encouraged to dabble
further with the classics. In case
you think picking the BEST TEN
is easy this year try to make up
your mind on just these few
