If there has been any lingering
doubt that Georgetown is basking
in the sunlight of its golden age of
sports it probably will be dispelled
before the curtain tumbles down on
the current baseball season.
The 1941 diamond squad ham,
mered out the opening lines of the
years final chapter with a IA vic
tory scored over Harvard in an au-
thoritative manner that bodies no
good for future opponents. 1t seemed
capable of upholding its end in
making this a long-remembered
period in the Hilltop's sports saga
and it seemed to have the poise and
power to match the legendary feats
of the Kenyons. McCarthys, Sheedys
and BisSonettes of another glamor-
GUS era.
Cornell may pi the type this aft
ernoon when it comes to grips with
Joe Judges potent pupils, but off
their form in the Harvard game the
Hoyas will be tough hombres to
deal with.
Harvard twice came from behind
to challenge its host, tying the score
at 4-all in the seventh, but George
town had enough left to blast its
way to victory. Jimmy Kiernan's
battling curve ball muff1ed the in
vaders' heavy guns in the last couple
of innings.
Bill Wixted started for the Hoyas
and acquitted himself with honors
for six innings, giving up six hits
and a lone run. But he weakened
in the seventh and was batted out
during three-run, three-hit upris-
ing Herman walked Freddy Keyes
with two out in the ninth for the
only man to reach first during his
tenure.
Jim Castiglia, the bully boy who
guards home plate, started off by
grabbing the spotlight with a triple
and two singles and another of his
patented putouts at home Gil
Whittemore made the mistake of
trying to score from third on Bob
Regans easy roller in the seventh.
He was about five yards south of
third when Castiglia's 210-pound
cast-iron frame hit him.

Anacostia Disappoints
In Losing Opener
To Dewitt Nine

A thorough going-over for Ana
costia's baseball team is in order
today and early next week in
preparation for the interhigh series
opener Wednesday. The Indian
team, which looked good in practice,
was terrible and did everything
wrong" in the words of Coach Rol-
land Lund yesterday when the sea-
son opened with a defeat by
Dewitt, rs.
"They couldn't field and they
couldn't hit" is the way Lund sum-
med up the game. Neither team
was impressive, collecting only three
hits apiece and committing a total
of 16 errors in a seven-inning game.
Anacostia overCame an early five
run deficit with two runs in the
second and four in the third, but
Dewitt went ahead again with a pair
of markers in the sixth.

Wilson Off 10 Winning
Start, but Could Use
More Stick Punch
Head Of Batting Order
Weak in AZ Defect
Of Episcopal

More punch at the head Of the
batting order is the only thing
Coach Carl Heintel sees necessary
to give Woodrow Wilson a strong
baseball team this season. The
Tigers are off to a successful start
with a Az triumph scored yesterday
at Alexandria over Episcopal, which
also opened its season.
Memo Briscuso, last years star
hurler, again demonstrated excel
lent control and a sizzling fast ball
in limiting Episcopal to five hits
while his mates were collecting II
off Bud Ellis Both went the full
nine innings, with Briscuso tanning
six and Ellis four.
Don (Bones) Hillock, Wilson's
all-high basket ball center, now
playing first base, was the batting
and defensive star of the game. He
collected three hits, all of them
doubles, and scored three runs. Ed
Polhamus at third also hit safely
three times and drove in two runs.
Frank Wideman was the big Epis-
copal gun with two triples.
The Tigers collected two runs in
the second inning on a walk and
three singles. Episcopal tied the
score in the third when Briscuso had
few moments of wildness and gave
up two walks, a sacrifice and a
double. After that, however, he
wasn't threatened.
Wilson went ahead in the sixth
when Hillock doubled and scored on
SchWab's single, and the clincher was
added in the ninth when the first
baseman again doubled and came
home on Schwab's triple.

Soph Ends and Backs to Figure

Maryland's spring football drills,
completed last week, pleased Coaches
Jack Faber, Al Heagy and Al Woods,

the rockies.
Three shifts of note were made,
as backs were sent into the line.
Don Shockey, 205-pounder. went to
tackle; Harold Berry to guard and
Jack Gilmore to end. All changes
appear likely to be permanent.

Now Absolutely PortioI
To Old Pol, Mox

II am unaffiliated at the mo-
ment," declared Dumb Daniel. II
am absolutely partial, and as such
I tell you that Baer cans miss if
he fights right. I have tipped him
of on how to fight. 1t is just free
service, you understand, by way of
apology for the Comiskey fight"
How"
"Yessir," said Mr.. Morgan. "If
Baer comes out and uses that left,
and keeps that left in Novas face,
and then closes in and grabs the
other guy, if he keeps doing like
that he can't miss. Toward the
end of the fight he might even
knock him out, you see, because
the guy will be tired and baff1ed.
THE way I figure, Nova is easy
to nit, and Baer can pile up the
points till he has this fella set up
for right. But he don't have to
hurry it. If he starts leading with
right, Nova will stick his left hand
in there and maybe cut him up. So
Baer has to use his left. If ne does
that he's the winner"

winners without peer in the boxing
dodge, but also the former man
ager of Jack Britton, world welter-
weight champion. He guided Brit
ton through 27 COR possibly 29)

Today Mr.. Morgan is free-lance
adviser. He distributes advice for
a small fee, which comes to some
thing like cents per 1000 words.
At this rate Dumb Dan can make
himself $40 in practically no time.
Let me tell you something about
Baer," said Mr.. Morgan to your
correspondent.
"Well-"
"Thats true, I grant you that"
said Dumb Dan. Its a good point
you made there, Kid. But listen.
When Baer was matched to fight
Pat Comiskey last year, I was with
the Comiskey mob, you know, just

so I see Baer before the fight,
and he says, Dan, you're crazy he
says. He didn't mean no offense,
you know. He just said I was crazy.
He said, Dan, this Comiskey is a
preliminary fighter. He's just big,
