Georgetown College debaters will en- gago in their initial intercollegiate contest of the season, February 24, against a formidable team represent- ing Bates College of Lewiston, Me., which has met defeat thus far only five times In 55 contests. Against these experienced debaters Georgetown will send a team as yet untried in intercollegiate debating. Under the tutelage of Rev, John J. Toohey, moderator of the Philodemic Soclety however, the Hillitop has turned ‘out debating teams in recent years that have proved their superi- ority over such contenders as Har- vard, Yale and Princeton. For this reason the Georgetown authorities are imbued with hope in the forthcoming contest The debaters against Bates are An- thony B. Brennan of Georgia, Walter R. Thompson of New York and Joseph A. Kozak of Pensylvania. The question to be argued is: “Resolved, That this House Fa- vors the Entrance of the United tes Into the World Court.” George- vn will uphold the negative side. Plans for other intercolleriate de- es are under way. Rutgers Col- lege is the only other listed thus far, the contest being scheduled for April 24. Considerable interest was attached to the two lectures given Wednesday Thursday before the combined s of the legal and foreign serv- ice departments by Edward S. Rogers of Chicago, one of the foremost au- thorities on trade marks and copy rights in the United States. The sub jects of international copyrights and trade marks, though seldom treated in American universities, have assumed | great importance in the foreign trade of this country. The authorities at Georgetown have long realized the necessity of having lectures on these subjects, but found it difficult to find a suitable authority to give a course. Hence it was a source of gratific to them that they were able to se- cure the services of Mr. Rogers, who has long specialized in these subjects. Mr. Rogers is chairman of the com- mittee on patents, trade marks and yrights of the American Bar Asso tion, and during the war was con- deral Tade Commis- ion in handling this work. He is well known in Washington. It is expected he will give other lectures during the scholastic year. Incidentally, ~Mr. Rogers is a non-resident lecturer at the Universities of Michigan and Penn- sylvania. With a full schedule of matches ahead, the rifle team of the George- town R. O. T. C. unit is engaged at h against Michigan State College, Western Maryland Col- lege and the University of Washing. ton. The next match will be fired February ware, Washington State College and Denison University. Several Contests. Among the principal contests are the national intercollegiate matches, March 26; the Hearst tropny matches, beginning March 12, and the_ senior Infantry matchesafor R. O. T. C. units | in the 3d Corps area, which already have opened. It is expected George- town will enter teams in each of these contests. Other important matches on the Georgetown schedule are Universities of Cincinnati and Missouri, February ; West Virginia University, Febru- ; Johns Hopkins University, rgt. Michael Donahue, U. S. A., is coach of the rifle team, and Capt. Her- vey is executive officer. The team comprises J. E. Wise, captain; B. B. Heer, manager; J. J. Madden, Emmet J. O'Malley, Thomas Cahill, Wallace Garner, Charles Farrall, Samuel Cole- man, R. H. Brown, William _Tarver, G. N. Doyle. John Glavin, Joseph W. Rouse and Michael J. MclInery, The Hoyva, Hugh C. McGowan, '26, editor in chief, will give an infor- mal dinner Wednesday evening to the present members of the staff “in recog- nition of fidelity of services,” accord- ing to an anouncement just made. New accessions to the staff, it was said, will be eligible for a subsequent occasion. Under the direction of Mr. McGowan the Hoya this year has excelled all previous editions of the weekly news publications and completely “covers” the principal activities of all depart- ments of the university. The regular monthly sodality serv- ice for the dental students will be held in Dahlgren Chapel this morning at 10 o'clock and breakfast will be served before the mass. The American Bar Assoclation Journal, in the January issue, pub- lished an article by Guilford S. Jame- on, a 1918 graduate of the Law School on “The Judiclary Committee of the House of Representatives.” Mr. Jameson has been clerk of the committee for a number of years and active in Georgetown alumni affairs. Dr. John H. Latane of the facul- ties of Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown gave the first of five lec s Frida, night at the National eum in connection with the pub- course being given on “Revolu- tion in Russia and America.” He will lecture on successive Friday eve- nings. Dr. Latane is reciting the causes and 1ideals of the American volution as background for the de- velopment of a later comparison of the Constitutions of the United States and Russia. — URGES BETTER HABITS TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS Speaker Says Proper Posture and Breathing Would Accomplish Much. Millions of dollars now spent an- nually in fighting. tuberculosis could be saved if better habits were insisted upon among youths, said Albert W. Harned, addressing the teachers at the Berret School last week on ‘“Voice Pro- duction, Speaking and Singing.” Dr. Edwin Barnes, director of music in the Washington schools, presided. “If proper posture and breathing were a part of constant supervision a different story would be told,” said Mr. Harned. “Voice culture has these conditions to combat and, too, the con- sonental peculiarity of our language, yet no consistent system of correction of these native faults seems to be ac- cepted by the public. Seeks Teaching Position. Mary E. C. Cottrell has filed a peti- tion in mandamus in the District Su- preme Court against the Board of Education, Superiniendent Ballou and Assistant ' Superintendent Wilkinson, to compel the board to declare vacant the position of teacher of domestic art in the colored high schools, and to appoint the petitioner to the position. The petitioner asserts that she passed successfully the examination for the place, and was told February 12, 1924, that she stood second on the eligible list. Two persons have been ap- pointed and are now holding similar positions, who have not taken the ex- amination and who are not college graduates according to the petitioner, and she wishes them removed. against Nebraska, Dela- | erald Power, | | i i STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘D.
