With the majority Of games on
the road, chances for a highly
successful week Of cage play seem
remote. Catholic U. appears des'
tined to continue its losing habit
entertaining the Mounties tomor'
row, and the ColonialS trek to
West Point and Hamilton appears
pitted with dire results.
EVEN BREAK IN 6 GAMES
George Washington appears to
be having one Of those years" on
the hardwoods. And one Of "those
years" are inexplainable. The
club has been playing stronger
opponents than they have been
credited with meeting and therein
lies the answer. Besides, G. W.
has broken even In six games, los
ing twice to one Of the finest
clubs in the entire nation-Roan'
oke College, and dropping the
opener to Ohio State, a top flight
club of the Midwest.
Incidentally, there Is a score
comparison that can be made be-
tween G. w. and Army, which
clash Wednesday afternoon at the
Point. G. w. lost to Ohio State,
43-37, at Columbus, and last Sat
urday, the Buckeyes defeated
Army In the latter'S baliwick,
48-39. This should mean that
the Colonials and the Soldiers
are about even.

"oof." Tony remarked quietly,
"that's it." And it was.
He landed three punches in

apparently like a rabbits ears.
Just something to wave when
you get excited.
Tony was quite inSulted when
Brescia'S manager started out Of
the room after seeing that Tony
put no hardware in his left
glove. Aren't you gonna watch
me bandage the right?" he asked
in surprise. Brescia's manager
looked back from the exit and
said, "You haven't any right"
It'll knock the big bum out
with the left" yelled Tony,
which is exactly what he did.
And no two days about that. We
admit that Brescia seemed agree
able about being slapped away
in a round. He didn't put up
much resistance. In fact, like
the tall girl who kissed her five
foot sweetheart goodnight. we
have a suspicion that Brescia
stopped a little.
That doesn't detract from the
power and glory OF the great
Galento's left hook. It's the best
in the business, and we don't
want that old colonial knocker
banging at our door. From now
on we interview Tony no more

TIMBER famine
THREAT PASSES

PORTLAND, Ore.-"The threat
of a timber famine in the United
States is past" Col. W. b. Greeley.
secretary-manager of West Coast
Lumbcrmen's association. stated
at Wednesday nights session of
the Institute on Northwest AZ
fairs. being held during the period
July 1921 at Reed college.
The public and industrial ef-
forts in fire prevention and other
essentials to forstry are bringing
about growth of timber more
than adequate to supply all pres
ent requirements of consumption, .
he said. The economic problem
Of forestry in the United States
hereafter will not be how to supply
enough timber for our require
ments, but how to find sufficient
markets for the timber crops that
these great areas of land increas-
ingly will produce in the future.
The forest problem, like the wheat
problem or the cotton problem, is
fundamentally one of markets"
Applying his subject to the Pa
cific Northwest. Col. Greeley de-
clsred the present drain upon our
forests from all forms of use and
loss Is roughly nine billion feet per
year. while authorizes estimate the
annual growth of timber should
increase to 10 billion feet. and
eventually to II billion board feet.
On this basis, Col. Greeley de-
veloped the proposition that pub
lie policy must aid forest indus
try" by recognizing that 'forest
crops require the same kind of
support We have long accorded
TO farm crops"
