Howdy, Folks:

Howdy, Folks:
This week l suppose everyone
has been playing Happy Birthday
to You" on their recording ma
chimes, in honor, of course, to our
two beacon lights - Lincoln and
Douglas. But the younger and
fore frivolous of our readers were
busy reading their various Valen-
tines, and did you receive the usual
one-"When this you see think of
me-?
What young wife of a few
months, who, suspicious of her
husbands Saturday evenings out,
hid in the back seat of hubby's car,
quite unbeknownst to him, while he
drove up to his paramOur's house
and honked the horn? When the
girl friend came gaily tripping out
to the car what happened? Well,
don't exactly know, but hubby is
now nursing two Jumps on the back
of his head which resemble the
humps on a camePs back and,
which they say. were made by the
dainty heel of wifey's slipper. And
the fair young girl friend is wear
ing dark glasses which she. says
are needed to shield her eyes from
the snow. Now "ain't" love grand
and "ain't" jealousy grand, too?
One of our out-of-town students
says strange things happen back
in his home town and l don't dare
give the name of the state for I'll
get killed. But a drunken man fell
asleep by the roadside one night
last summer and a patrol coming
along thought he was dead and, as
burial in that part of the world
follows straight on the heels of
death, he was speedily taken to the
cemetery, where there are always
some open graves. The lowering
into the grave aroused the topper,
who made such a commotion that
he was released. He was immedi-
ately fined $25 for creating a dis
turbance at his own funeral!
Flash of the week: The recent
marriage of JOHN DOUGLAS
formerly of St. Paul. to JANET
HARRISON of Chicago. COngrats
and best wishes to the happy cou-
pie. The Kappa Fraternity
game VS.. Wheatley House this
week promises to draw quite a
crowd. l heard one girl remark
that nothing would prevent her
from seeing these "glamorous"
Kappa men throw the gong"
around.
A group of popular young Twin
City girls selected the following
young men as possessing the nee
essary ingredients to make a per-
feet man: HERMAN BAILEY,
JOHN THOMAS, ED SALTERS,
ROBERT l. WILLIAMS, JR.,
LOUIS MOORE and JIMMY LEE.
Take these names and fit them
into the following recipe for our
perfect man:
Take a cup of good humor.
A dash of blarney..........................
A half cup of personality. ...........
A heaping cupful of intelligence
3 level tablespoons of friendli-
8 tablespoons of charm
Sprinkle all over with good
looks, and there stands the per-
feet man.
The Phyllis Wheatley annual
dinner this week was a bowling
success, both from a literary
standpoint and from an edible
point of view. The many little
tots who took part in the pageant
did remarkably well. st. Paul was
well represented as well as Mime
apolis.
Well, all good things must come
to an end, so let this little saying
be the thought for the week: "Be
sure you put your feet in the right
place, then stand firm"

Years Biggest D. c. Golf Meet
Scheduled at East Potomoc;;.
Congressional Improved

Again Washington's biggest golf
tournament is scheduled at East
Potomac Park. Tommy Doerer, golf
promoter at the downriver course,
today announced the annual spring
tourney of the East Potomac Golf
Club, open to all public links golfers
in the city, will be held in April and
May. There probably will be as
many as 20 flights of 16 each, which
means that more than 300 golfers
will take part in the match play
rounds, and that 400 or more may
play in the medal round.
"Qualifying will be held all
through the month Of April" says
Doerer, land We'll start the match
play rounds around May /, with one
round a week thereafter" Doerer
also is working up a schedule of
intercity team matches for the East
Potomac Club. Matches are in the
making with Lancaster and Phila-
delphia, Pa: with Baltimore and
with the Laurel Club of Richmond.
Out at the new Bradley Hills
Country Club, where E. G. Adams,

Business Manager Larry VIII

ScaIzo.Perrin Bout
For Feather Crown
New Turner Plan.

In his characteristic calm and
philosophical manner Promoter Joe
Turner today announced he will
seek a featherweight championship
bout between Petey Scalzo and
Jimmy Perrin for his initial out
door venture of the season and
forget all about the proposed Arch
ibald-Jeffra argument.
Turner had the latter in his hip
pocket, signed, sealed and await
ing the District Boxing Commits
sion's approval for delivery. But
the National Boxing Commission
stepped into the picture and an
nounced that Archibald would have
to defend his laurels against Scalzo
first and Perrin or Jeffra later-if
he retained them. AS a member of
the N. B. A. the local commission
sustained the verdict.
Baltimore, meanwhile, not only
sanctioned the Archibald -Jeffra
bout but is proceeding earnestly
with plans for staging it early in
May. Baltimore also is under the
N. B. AS jurisdiction. The asso-
citation will strip Archibald of his
titular feathers next week unless he
signs by Thursday to box Scalzo.

Roosevelt Will Defend
Its Honors in High
School Division
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Schoolboy golfers of washington
and enviorns, sparked again by
Francis x. Emmett of Dewitt School
their foremost protagonist for q
decade-wil start their two-month-
long schedule of team and individual
matches on April 2.
Out of the extensive schedule,
soon to be announced by the District
of Columbia Golf Association, will
come the metropolitan high school
champions, the Dawes Cup winners
for Washington high schools, and a
new metropolitan schoolboy indi-
vidual champion.
Ralph Bogart, the tall Wilson High
School youngster who won the met"
schoolboy title last year, may not
be eligible to defend his title this
year. according to Emmett.
The schedule was drawn up by
Emmett and Julian Colangelo Of
Anacostia High School. It is now
In the hands of President Robert
A. Keilty of the District Golf Asso-
citation, who is contracting the clubs
at which the matches will be played.

Fourteen schools in all have agreed
to enter golf teams in the 1910
matches. Public high schools en-
tering teams will be Roosevelt, pres
ent Dawes Cup champions: Western,
Central, Anacostia, Eastern and
Tech.
Schools outside of Washington
entering teams are Georgetown
Prep, Bladensburg, Montgomery
Blair, Bethesda Chevy Chase and
Rockville. In addition st. Johns,
Gonzaga and Dewitt, private schools
in Washington, will enter the race
for the schoolboy championship.
Matches will be played on Tues
days and Fridays at private courses
to be designated by the District
association. High spot of the sched-
ule will be the individual title
tourney to be played on three
private courses in late May and
early June.
The youngsters will qualify at

with the 16 qualifiers to hold two
match play rounds at Manor on
June l, the four survivors to meet
Sunday, June 2, at Congressional,
with the final round that afternoon,
also at Congressional. Eligibility
requirements will be the same as
those in the Washington public high
schools.
Bogart's Status Uncertain.
Under the present rules under
stand Ralph Bogart will not be
eligible to play or to defend his in
dlvldual championship" said EN-
NETT. Il hope Ralph can get in,
Tor he is a good player and deserves
chance" Absence of Bogart would
peril the chances of Wilson High
School in the Dawes Cup race and
in the met" championship.
Such outstanding golfers as Maury
Nee, Bobby Brownell, Billy Shea,
Buddy Sharkey and Bogart, the
present District amateur cham
pion, have tempered their games in
the fire OF schoolboy competition
BroWnell made his first big splash
as tournament competitor In the
schoolboy championship of 1885,
when he beat Maury Nee, then one
OF the top stars of the town, at
kenwood. Since that time Brownell
has become one of the leading play
ers of the East.
Emmett has for years been the
mainstay Of the schoolboy golfers,
and their foremost advocate. A
flrm believer in competition as a
developer of golfers, Emmett has
seen his schoolboy schedule become
one Of the biggest items in the
links game around the Capital.
