Suddenly stamping themselves
one of the classiest college fives
in the east by defeating Long
Island University 33-31 last
night in Brooklyn, the Covies of
Geneva College of Beaver Falls,
Pa, descend on Washington to-
morrow night for the first Of two
games on Capital courts. They
meet George Washington in the
first engagement and on Thursday
night tackle Catholic University.
Tomorrow nights battle sched.
uled at Tech High School gymna-
SUM should attract one of the
largest basketball crowds of the
current local season. Hundreds of
fans doubtless will want to watch
a team that has beaten L. I. u,
heretofore conceded by most eX-
perts as the strongest in the East,
and that also outscored a fine
DuqueSne University quint by 19
points. DuqueSne recently con-
quered Catholic U. by 20 points
here.
Feat Indeed
On its victorious performance
against Long Island, Geneva ap-
pears capable of turning back
George Washington which bowed
to L. I. U. in Madison Square Gar
den 10 days ago by a count of So
to 27. Geneva accomplished the
startling feat of beating Long
Island on the latter's home court
in Notwithstanding no team
has been able to do since the same
team, almost to a man, turned the
trick three years ago.
Four of the invading Covies
have been playing varsity ball for
four years the entire starting five
excepting the center, John Meyer,
a sophomore. These polished vet
Grams are Capt. George Penne-
baker, the teams leading scorer
and forward; Don Hamer, the
other forward who Serves as
Geneva's "spark-plug," and Tom
Hurley and Fred Milanovich, a
pair of tireless guards whose forte
is retrieving the ball from the
backboards and starting the
Covies a winging on their FAST
breaking offenSe.
Despite the visitors triumph
over L, 1. U. and Duquesne, how
ever, the prospect for George
Washington isn't as dark as
might be thought off-hand. The
Colonials can find large measure
of hope in the fact that Geneva
employs the much-discussed and
unpopular Gin many quarters)
zone defense. George washington
has never failed to beat a zone de-
fense exponent since Bill Reinhart
assumed the coaching role at the
beginning of the 1885 season.
Employs Zone Defense
Geneva, with practically the
same array as will appear tomor-
row night, and the same zone de-
fense. was beaten by the Colonials
here last year, "A to 33. other

camp by Reinhart's pupils have

TNTERH7GH CONTENDERS SEE HEATED BATTL
Eastern Five
Faces Fight,
IS Claim
BY GARRETT WATERS

A peep at the standings in the
current interhigh series reveals
many interesting happenings for
the second half, which gets under
way with Friday nights double,
header at the Tech gym.
Eastern leads the pack at pres
ent with four victories as against
one loss. A triple-tie exists for sec
ond place between Roosevelt,
Western and Tech, all of whom
have won three games and lost
two.
Central Is next with one tri-
umph in four starts, and Wood
row Wilson is last with four losses
in as many tries. Central plays
Woodrow Wilson today at RooSe-
velt gymnasium at $3.50 p. m. This
contest is the lone one scheduled
in the series for today.
Rivals of the Eastern five
haven't given up on the series yet.
They see even a tighter second
half with confusion reigning in
the standings to the very end,
Central Hopeful
Central, though far down in
the list right now, is particularly
hopeful. Coach Jack Ray even
predicts a victory for his Mt.
Pleasant charges when Eastern is
met in the opener of Friday
nights twin bill. Western plays
Woodrow Wilson in the other
clash.
We've had cur share of bad
luck" says Ray, "but l believe
Dame Fortune is ready to smile
on us from here in. Clark and
VermilliOn are physically fit
now; Fox Is working better at
center, and Hegyster has i'm
proved by leaps and bounds"
One thing that has hurt Central
has been its lack of success on
shots from the free-tosS line. Two
games have slipped away for that
reason, and Coach Ray has been
well aware of it.
Yesterday the mentor had his
roster practicing overtime in per-
fecting their foul tosSes. He
hopes improvement will be shown
in today's skirmish with woodrow
Wilson.
Now as to the hopes and views
of the other contenders, Roosevelt,
Western and Tech. All three be-
lieve strongly they will show East
ern a thing or two.
The Riders will be without
Frank Bailey, who has quit school
But his place will be filled by
Blaine Wicklein. a young fellow
who looks like a real conner.
Western is just beginning to hit
the stride enjoyed before the
series commenced while Tech is
developing into a dangerous ball
club after weeks of unpolish, un-
certainty and ineXperience.
Look To LOmax
Western looks to Bill Hop"
Lomax, high-scoring forward, to
keep it in winning momentum.
Lomax has had to sit on the side
lines since mid-December because
of an injury. But now he is ready
to help Burns, He'll, Schulz, De
Witt and the rest live up to the
championship expectations re-
served for the GeorgetownerS at
the start of the series.
Eastern? Well, coach Mike
Kelley's charges are at the top of
the heap with the hardship OF
maintaining their lofty position
at stake. 1t is this departments
opinion the Parkers will carry on
successfully now that they've ap-
parently gotten into winning gear
But then there are always those
upsetS which the contenders are
reasonably sure will occur. The
first is aimed for Friday when
Central gets the opening second
half chance.

COMMUNICATION
IT IS INDICATED,
WILL SHOW PROFIT
Much Work To Be Done
Before Final Report
is Made

Although there remains a great
amount of work yet to be done
before a final report on the Ma
tional Antietam Commemoration
celebration is made, indications
are that the event will show a
profit, it was stated today by a
member of the committee.
Throughout the entire period
the various departments kept
within their budgets, and the in
come from various sources bal
anced with the expenditures. The
pageant, "On Wings of Time"
played to capacity audiences al
most every night, and this, to-
gether with the profits from the
Dodson Shows, the program and
other concessions made a surplus
possible.
While the sale of the commem-
orative coins did not reach the
total anticipated, the distribution
to date has been favorable. Re-
quests for the coins continue to
be received daily, it was stated,
and the committee is hopeful that
the entire amount minted for the
occasion win be disposed of with
in the next so or 80 days. The
profit on the coins nets the COM
mittee slightly less than dollar
each.

REX GOES WEST, BUT NOT UNDER

Dog Trained to Obey Traffic Rules, Would Even
Refuse to Chase Cat If the Feline Left
Pavement and Dashed Into Street

without even look. But it would
be a different story if they step
ped up on the pavement.
Rex never crossed the street
without permission of his master.
On their way to Mr.. Lands store
each morning, Rex would always
lead the way-until he came to
the crossing. Then he would
halt, sit down and wait. And if
Mr.. Lands failed to give him
the mod" Rex would still be
there several hours later. No
amount of coaxing from strangers
would make him cross the street.
Stray cat and dogs didn't exist
He had only one master. And,
incidentally, he had the good
sense to know that traffic doesn't
slow up for dogs.
Rex was 10 years old when the
lights went out, and it is safe to
say that he wouldn't have attain
ed that age if he hadn't used his
head throughout his playing and
fighting days.

Rex, a Boston bull dog, belong

last long trail, and somewhere in
"dog heaven" if there is such a
place, he is probably instructing
his brother CANNES in the art of
obeying traffic rules. Rex, a ia
miliar Figure" in Hagerstown,
was noted for his willingness to
obey commands, however slight,
especially those having to do with
keeping to the sidewalk.
Rex, like any other dog, was
full of pep and always ready to
stand up and battle whenever the
location demanded. But he knew
when and where to do his play
ing and fighting. AS a pup he
was taught the secret of longev-
ity-to stay on the pavement and
keep out of the streets. He like
wise loved to chase cats-as long
as they stayed out of traffic. A
cat or dog could stand in the
gutter and "spiff" and growl at
Rex and he would ignore them

HANGOVERS
BY ZIM

The National AntIetam Com
memoration celebration, an
nounced as financial success
is now history and from infor-
nation available, sizeable
surplus will be realized. 1t is
now suggested that a perman-
emit museum be established in
Hauerstown and citizens of the
town and county either donate
or loan relics of the early days
of the community, to the Mu-
scum. The suggestion is a
splendid one, but let's hope that
if we are to have museum,
it will be a good one.
The Mayor an Council has
araciously offered three city
owned properties in which to
house the relics. Their offer is
commendable and puts them
definitely on record as favoring
the plan, but who, we ask, is
willing to part with their treas
urers when they know that they
are to be placed in building
which can quickly be destroyed
by fire?
Hagerstown today boasts of
one of the finest and most
beautiful parks in the United
States. 1t is here that visitors
and tourists Iinger when they
come to this city. And it is
here too that we have a beau
tiful building housing valuable
works of art. There is absolute
ly no danger of this building
being destroyed by fire. And
the relics Of Hagerstown and
Washington county to be placed
in the proposed new museum
will be worth more to future
generations than the fine paint
ings that now grace the walls
of our Art Museum.
1t is therefore necessary, in
our opinion, that utmost consid-
GRAFTON be given to the safety
Of the relics, and a new, modern
fire-prooft building in our City
Park is the answer.
