Father 0'Leary Heads
Guests Of Honor al
Club Banquet
University's President
Credited With Hoyos'
Return to Heights

Very Rev. Arthur A. OLeary,
S. j., first Washingtonian in George
towns Isl years to hold the presi-
dency of the university and one of
the strongest supporters of sports at
the Hilltop, will be honored Satur-
day night, June 8, at the annual
varsity &c" dinner. The gala cele-
bration, climax of the sports year, at
which all letter winners receive their
insignias, will be held at the May
flower Hotel.
Father OLeary made it known
after he took Office that building up
the Hoyas' crumbling reputation in
the field Of sports would be a must"
item on his program. He delighted
in telling story of receiving a let
ter form an old friend offering his
services on the faculty if needed, to
which the new president replied:
Il am we'll supplied with teachers,
but could use couple of good half
backs"
Two undefeated football CAM
paigns and winning teams in all
major sports give eloquent testimony
to the fruitfulness of Father
OLeary's efforts-and he insists this
is merely the beginning. George
town men feel it is only fitting that
this years banquet be staged in
honor of the man who primarily is
responsible for the schools return to
the heights it so long occupied in
the world of sports.
Presidents of So of the SO George
town Clubs in the country have ac-
cepted invitations to attend. DR..
William Cusack, one of the Hoyas'
all-time grid greats from 1918
throug '16 and president of the &c"
Club, will present the awards. Ath-
letes to be honored include the
championship golf squad and track
men who scored heavily in indoor
competition.
William B. Bankhead, '95, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, is
general chairman of the affair.
A feature of the gathering will be
the presence of the all-time George
town football team selected by poll
of alumni last December.
