ing Justify. J Thei meeting opened
promptly at 10 o'clock in the morning
and continued through the day infor
mally, but always 9ust about the sche-
duled time. "a deep spiritual note was
evident through the day. H'
Rev D. A. Petty opened with brief
devotional. The singing of the very
first Hymn, Charles Wesley's, 20 For
A Thousand Tongues to Sing My
Great Redeemer's Praise" launched
the meeting on q very high plane
which was held through the entire
program. sssgho~ (e9)
DR.. J. H. Barnhardt followed with
an illuminating address on the mean
ing of Aldersgate, a necessary preface
to all that followed. Then DR.. Gilbert
T. Rowe in a powerful message, most
conclusively showed how that only
an inner experience of God can meet
the challenge of the world in our time.
The Quarterly conference followed.
most Of the people remaining for this
business session The session was
characterized by good reports. Shocco
church reported something more than
a thousand dollars raised for building
Sunday school rooms and remodeling
the church. The conference voted to
accept a recent bid on painting the

DR.. J. M. Ormond in his address
showed how badly our southland

of the Methodist Protestant Church,
and expressed great personal salts
faction in the hope of an early reunion
of these bodies which have been sever

Crawford, in an inspiring, but brief
statement, showed how that Christians
who call themselves "Methodists", had
one origin and are going to have one
destiny. Rev. r. E. Brown brought a
closing message. He prefaced his ser.
mon with fine bits of humor that lift
ed any drowsy mind to alternesS.
Then he drove home in dramatic fash

un-Christian way ends in tragedy, AMI
that everyone who walks in the Chris

Blond of hair, with thin, cold
blue eyes, Burrows impresses you.
Those eyes are what writer's for
the pulp magazines call killer
eyes. Fellows with those eyes are
found in the ranks of the super
gunman of the Western thrilers
Now that type is definitely es-
tablished, let's get back to the
gymnasium at 511 Eleventh st.
N. w. On the upper floor, you
find ring pitched in the center
Of a rear room. The parapher'
MALTA and atmosphere of a train
ing hall greet the senses. Pungent
odors of rubbing liniments per
meate the heavy air.
MEN WHIRL ABOUT RING
There's rat-a-tat-tat of a light
bag on a platform, the thud Of
gloves beating on a heavy bag
and the scuffle of shifting feet as
moving men whirl about the ring
in the spirited action of training.
Burrows is working with Geor-
gle Abrams as you enter. Abrams
has decided to replenish his bank
roll before going South and is pre-
pairing for his battle with Red
Finnegan. George flashes his
best, Stabbing left, hooking and
crossing. He will be ready, but
somehow or other, the thin-eyed
Burrows attracts you.
He's a Battling Nelson type of
fighter, moving in, taking punch
to give one, tireless, strong and
apparently a better millhand of a
fighter than a stylist-the kind
that could lick a dozen guys in a
barroom or clean up Pier in his
splendid raging forays.
He stepped down from milk
wagon to be a fighter, did Bur
rows, and he hasn't found 1t
necessary to get back on the de-
livery route yet. He is going to
fight a good welterweight at
Turner's Arena on Monday night.
Jimmy Jones, brother of Ivan
NedomatSky, was invited to assist
in the debut of Burrows, but had
a previous engagement, he said.
Men wise in the way of the

spar mate of Fred Apostoli, who

puncher all right, but Apostoli-

do it every time, and Jimmy Hatlo
can draw that one if he chooses.
Take the case of Bud Cor
man, who once acted as chief
shock absorber for Gene Tunney.
Not only did German think that
Dempsey would flatten Tunney,
but he went so far as to write q
formal challenge to Dempsey, to
be delivered after the fight at
Philadelphia.
Dempsey is a cinch to beat
that bum Tunney," said German.
Gene couldn't knock off your
hat, and if you want to know the
truth about the matter, I can lick
him any day in that ring. For
that matter, I can lick Dempsey"
Well, somebody tipped off Tun-
ney, and German changed his
mind about the matter.

right-hand drives may have
changed Woods mind.
OF course, there have been cases
where sparring partners came on
to defeat the boss. One of the
notable instances Of that was
James j. Jeffries. Jeff worked
with Corbett when Gentleman"

about Catholic University and
American University in basket
ball way since the holiday season
set in, nevertheless the boys are
hard at it on the hardwoods each
day, putting the polishing touches
for their game in the C. U. gym,
Brookland. Saturday night.
The battle should be a dandy
as local rivalry goes, especially
the collegiate brand, regardless of
the caliber of the teams.
Since the advent of Gus WEIGH
as athletic director at American
University, relations between the
American Eagles and the C. U.
Cardinals have been extremely
close.
At the conclusion of last year,
C. U. and A. U. played a post
season court game under the
adopted new rules of no center
jump with the new streamlined
seamless spheroid.
HERMIE SCHMARR STARS
The battle attracted a fair-sized
crowd and C. u, with it's one and
only Hermie Schmarr in the
starring role, won out, 50-36.
The Eagles haven't forgotten
that setback of last season. True,
they have popped up with new
coach, Staff Cassell, an alumnus
Of the school, but this makes that
setback even more vivid in the
minds of the American cagers.
So, all week, Staff has been busily
engaged in hammering home the
ambition to beat Catholic u"
BEATS WESTERN MD.
American has played but one
game this season, defeating West
ern Maryland in the MATCHBOX"
gym at Westminster. c. u, on
the other hand, popped up in it's
first game of the season with a
victory over its annual opening
game foe, Maryland State Normal.
However the Cards were trimmed
in their next two games by Shep-
herd State Teachers and Hudson
College.
But despite the ill-fortune of the
Redbird courtmen, they came up
with a lad who may break the
existing local college high scoring
record before the campaign is
over.
20 POINTS PER GAME
Wayne Ambrose is the player,
and he has bagged go points in
the three games played todate, for
the neat average of 20 points a
game.
In the opening fuss against
Maryland State, Ambrose scored
81 points, to this total he AIDED
Is points at the expense of Shep-
herd, and topped off this wild
barrage by hopping "a points
against Hudson.
So it will be up to American
University Saturday night to
Shackle Mr.. Ambrose.
ON HOME GROUNDS"
One point decidedly in the
sharp-shooter's favor is the fact
that he will be playing on his
home grounds"
But American University fig
ures it has a pretty fine team this
year. Coach CaSSell makes no
bones about the potentiality of his
quintet and figures that not only
will Mr.. Ambrose have to be on
his game, but the rest of the c. U.
team as well.
In fact, it is the opinion of the
writer that Catholic U. must play
a much better game against Amer
lean than it did in the preseason
tiltS, as the Eagles are considered
some buns" as court team this
season.
