ST. JOHNS STREAK ENDS
First Defeat Given Cadet Five by
Hoya Freshmen,

Georgetown's freshman five set the
example for its varsity last night when
it trounced st. Johns, 1925, in the
preliminary game to the Georgetown
Maryland clash at Tech. It was the
first defeat Of the year for the Cadets.
Schillo and Rizzi scored "a points

but Giebel Of st. Johns captured in

you wondered what these pros have OF
the ball that you don't have, and what
you can do about it. After all it Is a
little belittling to read about steady
succession Of 67s and 68s and it causes
q guy to wonder If the pros haven't
turned golf robots who squirt forth q
steady stream Of subpar scores When
ever they step out on golf course.
But Witty Cox, the Kenwood pro.
who is patting the ball around the
Miami courses this winter, has q diff
ferent slant on the whole thing. Will
fred never has been one to mince
words.
Like his golf game, he thinks
straight and he talks straight.
He knocks the conversational ball
in an arrow line toward that pin every
time he steps up and speaks piece.
Wilfred Explains.
WIFFY'S slant on the low scoring
in the grapefruit circuit is that
the courses are comparative push
overs when you compare 'em with
the championship courses Of the
Northern season; layouts where even
q chronic 100-shooter would have no
great trouble busting 90. When you
put a flock Of guys like Thomson,
Snead, Guldahl. Smith. Cooper and
the others on such courses they have
to score down in the lower brack-
cts. They can't do otherwise.
Reason for the low scoring in
open events in Florida Is easy
courses" says Wilt of the tall
forehead.
You can spray your drives all
over the place and get away with 1t,
if you don't happen to knock COCO
nut out of a tree. The par holes
are too short, and the bunkers are
too far away from the greens. The
game becomes just chipping and
putting contest. and when it comes
to chipping and putting. the topnotch
American golf pro is the finest per-
former the world ever has seen"
That's the tip-off. You shouldn't
take these scores too seriously" says
Wifi. They're kinda synthetic"
Now, 1t isn't unusual for the pros to
bust the daylights out of par over a
really tough golf course. They are
good enough to do it any time, but to
do it for four rounds is something else
again. They don't do it to really
rugged layouts like Pine Valley or
Oakmont or Pinehurst or Merton, but
put 'em on those easy Southern
courses and they blast EN- to bits.

Y AIESI issue OF CheSS, the Eng

IL from the mathematical pen Of
DR.. Max Euwe, dethroned world cham

The professor singles out the
question Of doubled pawns. that

when you have two pawns on
the same rank and they are
isolated.
According to the Dutch schoolmas-
ter such position is, indeed, a weak

directly on the square in front of the
more advanced doubled pawn is the
forerunner of trouble spelled with a

which Georgetown outclassed Mary

BY Just about as wide q margin rs

to each other in the following order:
/. George Washington.
2. Georgetown.
8. Maryland.

(about even).
Conceding the fact that Maryland's
closer resemblance to football than q
basket ball team kept the Hoyas from
looking their best last night, G. WIS
Colonials still probably could spot the
latter IS points and whip them with
something to spare.
Georgetown's point superiority to
Maryland is an accurate gauge be-
tween those teams, and Maryland is
just about that much better than
either @. U. or A. U.
Colonials Are Great.
As A matter Of fact, G.. w. and
G. U. seem to be the only two
college f1ves which the District has
anything to rave about. George Wash
ington must be termed great until
proven otherwise, and the Hoyas have
shown enough class to warrant serious
consideration from any opponent
The latter's team play still is far
behind the Colonials, but the combina-
ton Of Harry Bassin. Tommy Nolan,
Mike Petroskey, Ed Kuftyka and Joe
Murphy is greatly improved unit over
the same group which ended the CAM
paign a year ago.
Maryland has two above-average
players in Johnny Mccarthy and
Charley Norton, but the rest OF the
team seems to be in the game only
for the exercise. And the way they
throw the ball around and chase each
other all over the floor, they get plen-
ty Of it.
For a brief period a grave miscar-
riage of justice was threatened last
night. That was in the first eight
minutes of the game, during which
the Terps helped themselves to an 1l-6
lead when their rivals were unable to
find the cords.
Lead Changes Four Times.
RUT Nolan snapped the early slump
with two pot shots in rapid order,
and Capt Petroskey dribbled in for
a snowbird which gave G. U. the
lead for the first time. The advan-
tage changed hands four times on the
next four baskets but when Basin
connected to put the Hoyas ahead at
1915, they never were headed
At half time Georgetown was hold
ing 31-17 lead, and although the
College Parkers scored only four less
points than the Hil1toppers during the
second half. they never came within
striking distance Of the eventual win
ners.
Perhaps If Maryland had stuck to
its zone defense from the start, 1t
might have Jared better. But Capt.
George Knepley called his mates out
OF that defensive formation a minute
after play began. and the Hoyas found

Why Not Scrap the
Neutrality Act?

TNHERE is much agitation for adoption of Senator Nyes
i resolution amending the Neutrality Act so as to drop
arms embargo against the Spanish Loyalists-
which would presumably dropping it against the
Spanish Rebels, too Many Senators and Representa-

Our notion is that would be wise to go good deal
farther than amendment of the Neutrality Act.
1t was adopted on the theory that wouldn't have
got into the World War if Americans hadn't sold arms
to England and France; that the necessity of protecting
this trade essentially what dragged into the fight
Maybe so, maybe not; it's pure speculation. It's much
less speculative that hadn't sold arms to England
and France the Central Powers would have the war;

But now this Neutrality Act is working out in way
that peases very few of 1t forbds American sales of
war materials to begerents including belligerents in
