SPORTS HOYAS LEAVE NO DOUBT OF FAITH IN DIRECTOR Says He Came to Georgetown Feeling It Was Chance to Build Reputation—Tunney Praises Foreign Service School. BY H. C. BYRD. u}: as noteworthy events in connection with the annual dinner of the Georgetown University “G” Club last night at the May- MANY interesting anecdotes were told, several features bobbed flower Hotel, but standing out above everything was the rous- ing and enthusiastic reception given by students and alumni alike to Tom Mills, new athletic director. After the dinner no doubt existed in the mind of anybody present that Georgetown men feel that they have the right man in the right lace; that he will manage athletics successfully and turn out good oot ball teams. Just after the big crowd had gathered at the tables and the orchestra was winding up “The Star Spangled Banner,” a big gray sign, in which were blue letters, was flashed on the wall, “Welcome Mills,” and from that moment until the end of the affair every man in the hall seemed t6 do his best to make Mills feel that Georgetown is for him and has faith in him. And Mills, in his address late in the evening, left no doubt about his feelings in re- gard to Georgetown. Said he: “I came to Georgetown because I be- lieved it to be a school where I could build up my own reputation by render- ing a real service. Georgetown seemed to me to embody all the fine things that I have heard of it since I was a college boy in the Middle West, and I wanted to be connected with it. It is an honor to me to Georgetown athletics, and I shall do my best to deserve that honor. It is im- Youlble for me to tell you how grateful feel for the fine reception you have given me, and my only hope is that I shall prove to you my worthiness.” Youth Is Stressed. Remarkable, indeed, were some of the talks by men from different sections of the country, in that they stressed so many varying opinions of what George- town is doing for the youth of the Na- ither Nevils, president of the deermnl the highest cs and other extra curricular activities when he said that “in our new six-story bullding, now be- ing erected, we shall have its front cen- ter embellished in stone symbolical of our extra curricular activities, and es- pecially athletics. We want the world 1o know the part we believe these things play in_the general education of our outh. We leaders in Jesuit education ave our prescribed courses, it is true, and shall continue to have them, with- out in the least lessening their value, but we &lso shall continue to flm on these other actlvities, especially ath- letics, the real value that we feel they deserve in helping to develop the char- acter of the youth of the Nation, and thereby the Nation.” Bachman Is Humorist. Charley Bachman, foot ball coach at the University of Florida, delivered a purely inspirational and amusing talk on some foot ball conditions as he has known them in various places. And Bachman is something of a' humorist, | Lom: as he mu’lm down the house several times with his half jocular, half serious side remarks. He told the inside story of the Navy-Great Lakes Naval Train- ing Station game, in which he played center and in which the never-to-be- forgotten episode of the Navy sub run- ning out on the fleld and tackling a Great Lakes player as he was going for & touchdown occurred. Bachman ex- plained how a near riot had been | e sverted by quick action of the authori- tles and told how the Great Lakes Band | hin of 500 pleces paraded after the game playing the Navy funeral dirge, how a naval officer rushed up to the leader of that band and bruskly commanded, “Here, you can’t play that, because it's ‘ouly for official occasions!” to which the band leader replied, enough—the Navy's sunk.’ Bachman also told of s game_the Great Lakes it Rut- QGreat By the end of the third Rul backs did not want carry the he said, and the e wound up with the Great Lakes eleven victor by more than 50 points to 14. Tunney Talks Big. Gene Tunney was present in all his glory, ‘pr:hh;bly the most attractive fig- of hich, Tunney sald, was realization at Gieorgetown that Wwas real need for development at“:; at the head of |h in this country with knowledge of for- eign affairs and to handle American af- fairs abroad. 'nxnn:{eued more big words than all the other speakers com- bined, but at the end apologized, because he had not had time to prepare a worth- while address. Arthur Duffy, one of the test sprinters the world has known, awarded the letters to many of those that won them between 1911 and 1915, and also to this year's teams. Duffy also made an interesting talk, in which he told of conditions at Georgetown when he was & student there and now. Rover Brilliant. Usually a toastmaster is something of a necessity and is not in his job because anybody desires him to be, but last night's dinner offered something different. District Attorney Leo A. Rover occupied that position and his performance of the duties attached thereto was more than noteworthy. His introduction of Tunney was masterful, is choice of words in describing the rise of Tunney from an humble birth in New York City to international fame being a masterpiece of English, as well as showing & keen sense of human values. Probably seven or eight hundred per- song attended the dinner, for which the committee on a ments de- serves ‘nngI firedné '{'he ;lr was v::‘l} managed, not lag and presen luch“:ddivenl!y of entertaining and constructive talks as to be exceedingly worth while. Many guests prominent in the public life of the city and Nation were present as were athletic directors and foot ball coaches from this section and other sections. Georgetown won another ball game yesterday. The Blue and Gray nine took the measure of Wake Forest by 6 to 4. It scored early in the game, and got & lead that Wake Forest never was able to overcome. Lomax did the pitching for Georgetown and not only held the vis- itors fairly safe all the way, but also connected for three hits out of three times at the plate. In other words, Lomax contributed more than his share One of Lomax’s wallops went for & homer. Gillesple, visiting catcher, hit two triples. The box score: o onunaoun | Ll Georgetown .

His engagements involve three coaching schools, in two of which—Notre Dame and Northwest- ern—his time overlaps to such an ex- tent that ambitlous high school and minor college coaches who wish to sit at the feet of the sage of Palo Alto will be puzzled to know just how the conflict will be adjusted. Northwestern says he will be avail- able at Evanston from August 18 to August 30, while Notre Dame expects him to conduct a course from August 11 to_August 23. A June engagement will see Warner at Alblon, Mich., where some two hun- dred minor coaches, seeking higher learning, will be enrolled. So far as is known, Pop has no July commit- ments.

When it healed it had become shriveled and bent. But this turned out to be a blessing in dis- guise. Archer developed a wonderful snap throw to second base with his bent arm that he threw in almost a sitting position. An amateur catcher should prac- tice & snap throw and learn to get the bll;“:,“yhfm.

A catcher who can make the ball “pop” when he receives it, gives a great deal of added en- couragement to his pitcher. ‘Watch the way the batters stand and the way they hold their bats. if they grasp the bat at the extreme end, call to your pitcher for high fast balls, pitched inside the plate. If a left-handed batter is a long hitter in right field, pitch fast balls gu:.;lde and make him hit to left eld. Watch the runner on first base. It he looks like he is going to steal second, call for a waste ball, pitched well outside, providing your pitcher is not wild and already in the “hole” on the batter.
