5 ATHLETIC DINNER PLANS BEING MADE ALouis Littie Receiving Reser- & : vations for Annual Varsity Banquet April 24. Reservations already are being re- ceived by Louis Little, director of ath- letics at Georgetown University, for tae annual varsity “G” dinner which will be given April 24 at the Willard Hotel. Indications point to a record attend- ance of students and alumni, besides a galaxy of former Georgetown athletes of the years prior to 1810, who will be guests of the university on the occa- sion. Since 1925, when Mr. Little organized | the first “G" dinner, these affairs have become the most popular Georgetown meetings held during the year. Coaches from far and near have always attend- ed, and “Tad” Jones of Yale will be one of the performers this year. Rev. Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., will attend the banquet for the first time as president of Georgetown, and will be one of the principal speakers. From an athletic viewpoint, the “G” dinners always are significant, as usually some ~important announcement bearing on . next season’s program is made by Mr. Little. The Georgetown University Glee Club, under the leadership of H. Deane Ben- ' son, will be on the dinner program, as | well as other forms of entertainment. Present wearers of the “G” will be feted. Graduates of Georgetown. Three of the four new Assistant At- torney Generals to handle prohibition cases, whose appointments were an- nounced Wednesday by the Department of Justice, are graduates of the George- town Law School. They are Raymond S. Norris, class of 1911, who resides in Chevy Chase, Md.; William J. Froelich of Omaha, a graduate of 1926, and D. Heywood Hardy, class of 1917, who te- . sides in Houston, Tex. Mr. Hardy formerly served.in the Department of Justice under James W. Davis, when the latter was solicitor general.

DR. H.J. PATTERSON NAMED TO0 GO ABROAD U. of M. Official Will Help Study Agricultural Conditions in Eu- ropean Nations. Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md., April 13.— Dr. H. J. Patterson, director of the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, and .dean of the College of Agri- culture of the University of Maryland, has been selected as one of the 10 ex- periment station officers by the N. V. Potash Export My, to make a study of agricultural conditions and experi- mental work in -Germany, Great Brit- ain, France, Switzerland and Holland. The party will sail early in June and the trip will occupy about two months. Dr. Patterson, who has been at the University of Maryland for 41 years, ever since graduating from Penn State, is one of the best known men in college life in the country, particularly in the agricultural field. He was president of the University of Maryland for more than four years, from 1913 to 1917, but relinquished that position, preferring to devote his entire time to the agricultural work, the ex- periment station and College of Agri- culture being so closely allied as to be almost one. Agricultural methods have been revo- lutionized since Dr. Patterson came to Maryland and developments in which he has been the vital factor have added many ‘millions to the annual income of his and other States. i AL o B8 Wallis Goodloe Speaks.

The Y. M. C. A. Theater at d has AMUNDSEN'S CANP Explorers Brave Intense Cold in Hunt for Deeply-Buried Framheim. BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Wireless to Th!’r?nlll'l' and The New York 1 LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, April | 13—An attempt to find Framheim, ! Capt. Roald Amundsen’s base during ! his stay here in 1911 and 1912, is being made now that most of the work in! Comdr. Byrd's camp is done and therc is time for recreation from the laborious duties of the last few months, { It is much like looking for a needle | in a haystack, but, despite the low | temperature, 38 below zero, it is an interesting puzzle and nearly every one wants to take part in it. Framheim should be about four miles | south of us, near the great pressure area at the foot of the bay. There are peculiar hills of snow, plateaus, basins and passes there, some of which seems to correspond with similar features de- scribed by Capt. Amundsen, but so far the location of the hut has eluded the most careful and diligent search. Changes in Contour of Barrier. This is not so remarkable as might seem to those who have not been ashore for any dength of time on this side of the barrier, for even during our com- paratively brief stay here so far, we have seen changés which give some in- dication of the enormous difference in contour which may be effected in 17 years. | Snow accumulates here and erodes | ynder the lash of the wind., accumu- | lates again and piles up in steadily in- creasing layers which have been found plainly . marked while digging. It is| not as if a base were_established on rock which collects the heat of the sun | during the Summer and melts the snow i precipitated or accumulated by drift during the Winter months. There is not a great deal of melting and evaporating on the barrier—at least, nuthing comparable to what is on tHe bay ice or rock—and Fram heim, as a result, is probably buried deeply under the snowfall of the years. Ever since we arrived here there has been curiosity about this old home of Capt. Amundsen; every one who has | flown over the basin where it is believed | to be located has scanned the terrain | carefully and men have been over there | on skis occasionally, It would be not | only a great lark to find it, but it would also prove the permanence of the bay formation. Byrd Seeks Check on Terrain Shift. Within the last few days parties have been going carefully about the worl: of examining the place where we believe | Framheim to exist. Yesterday Comdr. ! Byrd went there himself, armed with all | the information he could cull from Capt. Amundsen’s book, including Pres- trud’s map and the photographs taken | at Framheim. He discovered many re- semblances to points named by Amund- sen. “We don't know whether the -barrier | moves and in moving ‘keeps the same | contour and formation at the Bay of Whales,” Comdr. Byrd said. “But I have found a number of points which correspond to those mentioned by Capt. Amundsen as existing at Framheim. “Whether we can find the house or | not is another matter. I hope we can, | as it would be an important check o the movement of the Barrier on this/ side.” There are two ways of going to Fram- heim, assuming that it is where we lieve it to be. One is down over the bay ice, around Cape Man's Head and up a little slope to the basin of which Capt. Amundsen speaks. The other way is, over a roll in the barrier to the south- ward from our camp, a long slope which ! dips down into a valley of haycocks and | then up again on the horizon, from | where it falls away into the Framheim | Basin. This part of the barrier runs out in a j series of capes into the bay, the south- | ernmost of which is Cape Man's Head. | | The party yesterday went by the route over the barrier. | It consisted of the commander, Sverre | Strom and Bernt Balchen and Fred- erick Crockett, Edward Goodale and | George Tharne, the dog drivers in charge of the three sledges, and Prank | Davies, the physicist, who is trying to ! locate a coil of iron wire of the house | with his dip circle. Willard Van der Weer went along to make movies. Colder at Amundsen’s Base. It was cold when they started, and it got down to 38 below zero by the time they reached their destination, although ! they thought that the temperature was somewhat lower at the site of Fram- heim than here at Little America. But, despite the low temperature and a slight wind, they were able to ex-| amine books and pictures and maps without gloves for short intervals. It is remarkable how the members of the expedition have become accustomed to the cold, for they are now able to| work for lcng periods in temperatures | which would have driven them indoors when they first arrived. Men are now doing surveying around the camp wear- ing at times only thin gloves so they c;n turn the thumb screws on the tran- sit. When the party arrived near the vi- cinity of Pramheim they tried to locate Capt. Amundsen’s two peaks, Mount | Ronniken and Mount Nelson. | They found what they believe to be | Mount Nelson, but of the smaller Ron- niken there was not a trace, unless a | tiny protuberance like a haycock marks | its position. | But they found a plateau described ! by Capt. Amundsen in following a trail | similar to that which he described and a basin which corresponded to the basin | in which Framheim was located. { Cape Man's Head is greatly chgnged, | its face broken and overhung with snow | cornices. Several hours were spent in going back and fourth over the ground and Comdr. Byrd compared the photo- graphs taken by Capt. Amundsen and | Prestrud’s map with various views ob- tained from the basin and the plateau. He found enough' correspondence to convince him that the search should | continue, but enough differences in con- ] tour to show that many changes have occurred there due probably to accumu- lated drift. Ronne, Veteran, to Try Hand. In a few days Martin Ronne, our sall and clothes maker, who was with Capt. Amundsen’s expedition and aft- er whom Mount Ronniken is named, will go over with the commander and attempt to find something which will aid in the search for a hut. The party returned just before sup- per with noses and cheeks well nipped by the cold. One freezes without warn- ing in this bitter cold and each man watches his neighbor's face for the yellowish-white patches which mean trouble unless he is immediately warned.
