G EORGE BY H. C. BYRD. TOWN men who have been prominent on athletic teams of that university during the past three decades gathered last night at the City Club and laid plans for the building of a nation-wide organization for the development of athletics at Georgetown, and, inci- dentally, to_further the interests of the §5000,000 endowment campaign the university is getting under w: life in Washington were present at town Endowment Association, an Creeden, president of the university; Father Nevils, vice pre: Men prominent in every walk of the banquet as guests of the George- d listened to addresses by Father ident, and Father McDonough, faculty director of athletics, and several “old-time"” athletes. K failed to resent any intimation that The inspirational address on ath- lotics by Father Creeden was one which carried most of those present back to the days when they strug- gled on gridiron, diamond, track or court with Blue and Gray pennants waving on the sidelines. And some of Father Creeden's reminiscences of athletics a score of years ago brought hearty peals of laughter. Father Nevils outlined in his talk | the plan of campaign for raising money for Georgetown's endowment fund, and Father McDonough told something of what might be expected | n athletes in the fu-| from Georgeto ture. Track Team Is Strong. “Our track team this spring is go- ing to be strong and you will tak great pride in its accomplishments sald Father McDonough, “but you must not expect too much of our base ball team nor too much of the foot ball team next fall.

Probably the features of the even- ing, if the applause which greeted them could be taken as a criterion. were the songs by Tom Cantwell and Sam Edmonston. and the two read- |Ings by Ed Walsh. Walsh started by telling a story about the late Ed Grillo, former sporting editor of The tar, who, when Walsh at one time w talking about his accomplish- ments as a member of the orEe- town base ball team, remarked: “Oh, stow I don’t believe it. and you aven't any living representative to prove it by." The evening was wound up by the showing of two reels of motion ple- tures, one depipting scenes at and around Georgetown and the other *he Lafayette foot ball game of last fall. | The pieture of the foot ball game in | parts was exceptionally clear and was roundly applauded. It was not only a good evening’s entertainment, but one of general in- formation for Georgetown men who [Wanl to know what is being done at | thefr universi Also it was a_good | get-together affair, which should benefit Georgetown immeasurab Those present were enthusiastic and |all members of the letter club. es- pecially President Waldron, and of- ficials of the university felt very | much gratified by the response from | the former athletes.

INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil There are three styles of stance, but only one of them will fit you. Your task is to find the right one and stick to it. In the square stance you stand with the feet on a direct line with the fiag at the green ahead, with the ball played from a point just off the left heel—perhaps two or three inches inside the left heel. In the opem atance the ball ix played from the same point off the left foot, but the right foot ix somewhat in advance of the left one. In atlll another stamce the left foot is brought up ahead of the right foot. Very few player use this stance. Walter Tra mned it, however, and Jess Sweetner alxo uses it. ‘ou find ont which stance ix ab- nolutely beat for you by making texts with all of them. them letting yourselt just naturally slide into the one that yields you the great- est comfort and ease during your atroke. Be very careful in making thene tests and do not come to & decision 100 quickly. Try each of them until there 1s no question in your mind as te the ome you take to naturally. Your own body will point the way for yeu by a mat- ural instinct to take up the that mives it the greater comfort. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.)
