Tomorrow nignt George Washington and Catholic University will clash for a second time in the Cardinals’ gym. Vying with this attraction will be a town-Brooklyn K. of C. game in Ryan gym and the Maryland-V. M. I. contest at College Park. However, of chief interest to college sport fans will be Georgetown's boxing meet with Navy at Annapolis, which follows closely a torrid basket ball clash in which the Middies won and thus ended a Hoya winning streak against em. In retaliation the Blue and Gray will attempt to break a string of Navy box- ing victories that has endured for 52 duat meets. The bouts will start at 8:30 o'clock. Georgetown is conceded a real chance to win. the Middies' own coach, Spike, Webb, having pronounced the Hoya team one of the best he has seen. Georgetown is shy an experienced | heavyweight, Sam Cordovano having | received a4 face wound Monday in the meet with W. and L. that will keep him out of action tomorrow. Sam will leave Sunday to jein Lou Little's foot ball coaching staff at Columbia. Don Donaldson and Mush Dubofsky, gridironers, have volunteered to take Cordovano's place rather than see the bout go by forfeit. Dubofsky is a 200~ pounder, and Donaldson weighs 180. He was the runner-up in the heavy- weight class of Georgetown's intramural tournament Jast Spring. A feature bout will bo that belween | Charley Fish, the Hoya captain. and Hall, whom Fish defeated last Winter for the intercollegiate welterweight ti- tle.

Coach Bur- ton Shipley of the University of Mary- land basket ball squad picked the Blue Devils as the outstanding combination for the Southern Conference tourney which begins in Atlanta next Priday. He is more convinced he was right after last night when the Duke team handed the Old Liners a 39-to-24 beat- ing at Durham, following Maryland vie- tories over North Carolina State and North Carolina on previous days..

Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Hus- ton. The dog Piccolo, which he near Fontainbleau, is dead and the pro- prietor of the Cheval Rouge has hand- | ed me & bill for several hundred francs which, he says, is owed for board in- curred by the deceased Piccolo at Fon- tainbleau and other places. The pro- prietor of the Cheval Rouge tells a har- rowing story concerning the career and the demise of Piccolo. It seems that several years ago the Colonel tarried at the Cheval Rouge while visiting for the second time nu- merous places where he had marched during the World War. On the so- journ he lunched at the Cheval Rouge, | where he consumed large quantities of | omelets, truffies, chicken and a wine | called vouvray. | _While seated in the back room of the | ship crowns today, but the leading hon- | Cheval Rouge he made the acquaint- | ance of Plccolo, who was then merely a | furry black and white pup of the setter | variety. The colonel invited the pup, | Piccolo, to his table and fed him bits | of omelet, a few truffies and even fille him a saucer of the wine of vouvray. On leaving the colonel, according to the proprietor, said, “Take care of Piccolo until I come back.” It was difficult, I learned, to restrain Piccolo from accompanying the colonel. Even hours after he left the pup tried to follow the automo- bile tracks, but became weary and returned to the Cheval Rouge to it. From that moment the proprietor of the Cheval Rouge started to charge ihe hoard of Piccolo to the colonel's ac- count. That the pension of the dog | Piccolo was of the best ever fed to | chiens, anybody in the village will bear ‘witness, and the bed furnished the dog Piccolo was of the best, with the wine of vouvray being supplement or an | extra. The cuisine for the dog Piccolo was of such an excellence that he grew big and strong and when he was but two years old he did overcomie the dog of the boucherie in a combat that all cf the village witnessed. He was a great hunter of the fierce rabbits in the dis- tricts and once did bring back to tke Cheval Rouge a rabbit that he had overcome in the chase, and the pro- prietor of the Cheval Rouge himself did prepare the rabbit for the dog Pic~ colo, serving him that night a cham- pagne of good vintage because he fejt that the Monsieur Colonel would have rejoiced, had he been there, being of & nature very sympathetic with dogs. But there were some grave faults in the dog Piccolo. Perhaps it was because he had a patron of the dis- tinction of Monsieur the Colonel that he carried himself with a very superior air, and he displayed ‘the greatest contempt for the gendarme of the village. Also he was very contemptuous of visiting gendarmes and would bite the tires of their bicycles when they were having their cafe. But he was very cunninig and they could not catch him to charge him with the crime and, of course, the proprietor of the Cheval Rouge was discreet. But finally his hatred of the gen- darmes got the better of him. He openly affronted the gendarme of the VB’I:‘IB in a manner indescribable. The gendarme came to make his arrest, but the groprkwr of the Cheval Rouge with much expense was able to smuggle him out of the district to save him from the fulfillment of a terrible justice. 'ORTUNATELY, the cousin of the proprietor of the Cheval Rouge kept an inn in the village of Pasbon in Provence and the inn, which is called the Coc!tmn Bleu, h"?'t \aery g;od fepuu. At great expense jog Piccolo was shi) to the Cochon Bleu to be boarded in quiet because he was. in fact, & law breaker and it was perilous to_harbor him. It was hoped that the change of air would bring about a change in his character, but it seemed’ that the dog Piccolo was a veritable Villon among the dogs of France. He would drink with Anybodz who wauld offer him the wine and his favorite place of prom- | enading was before the cafe of the vil- | lage, which was kept by a person who was not serious at bout his business.

Now. the evidence was only circum- stantial and it might have been that a good advocate might have cieared | Piccolo. But the dog’s hatred for gen. darme overcame again. When | the gendarme of Pasbon seized him by the collar, the dog Piccolo became | enraged. ' He tore himself free, but, instead of flee, approached the gen-| gendarme of from the rear and did bite off a large section of the | ge e's trousers, which included a hrLe portion of the gendarme himself. This offense, being unchivalrous, could | not be eondoned. A Dog’s Death. A" 1se, L that could be done for the d Piccolo was done at much expen: but the court wes inexorable. The | | gendarme of Pasbon exhibited the | trousers of the law and the portion of the law from which the dog Picéolo | had bitten an enormous quantity, so | | that, the gendarme testified under oath, e was forced to have his cafe in a | vertical position. There was much sympathy for the | dog Piccolo, for the gendarme was not | !: man who was loved in Pasbon. The | |mdvocate pleaded that the dog Piccolo | |'was of a distinguished owner and that he should be let off with a life sen- | tence to Devils Island. The Monsieur | Colonel will consider that the dog Pic- | | colo, in addition, was not charged with | the evasion of the addition for the | pension which is a capital offense, be- | cause the owner of the Cheval Rouge | is certain that the Monsieur Colonel | will pay the bill. ' But the sentence was that the dog Piccolo should be guillotined | because there had been many of- | fenses committed by dags of late, particularly in the matter of beating the board bills. But, of course, Piccolo would not have that charged against his memory. Those who witnessed the execution | of the dog Piccolo in the public square at Pasbon say that to the end he car- ried himself gallantly like a true canine Francois Villon. Just before he placed his head upon the block he nipped a plece from the trousers of the captain | of the gendarmes and was barking deflance as the ax fell. The bill for the board of the dog Piccolo is 937 francs 40 centimes, which is very reasonable. There is no charge for the immortelles for the funeral because the proprietor of the Cheval Rouge is a man of sentiment. If the colonel- will- remit 100 francs in addi- tion, a suitable monument will be | erected over the deceased Piccolo, the | scourge of the gendarmes. (Copyright, 1930.)
