D—2 S ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1931. ATHLETICS A PART OF NEVILS, SCHEME School Head Tells of Plans for General Advancement. Mills Packs Punch. BY H. C. BYRD. TENOR of optimism for the building of a “Greater Georgetown” was the key- note to the annual Varsityi «“G” dinner at the Mayflower Hotel last night. Not only did this bright outlook for the future encompass strong athletic teams, but brought into its fold the theory of athletics for all, more and better equipment for this purpose and a natural growth along all lines of university de- wvelopment. It was Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, pres- ident of the university, who broadly touched on the whole of Georgetown's future—touched on that future in a and foot ball coach at Duke University, talked generally about conditions in athletics and sald that he felt there was no such thing as overemphasis in athletics, but that one of the dangers in athletics lies in the tendency to make things easier for the athlete than for the boy who is not an athlete. Wade appealed to all in an administrative or professorial capacity to make the ath- lete stand on his own feet. Tom Mills, Georgetown foot ball coach, gave one of the best talks of the evening. His remarks were a straight-from-the-shoulder defense of foot ball and an inspiring description of the relationship that exists between coach and player. Following the addresses the “G" was awarded to members of this year's teams, and also to several members of teams of former years. The letters were awarded by Leo V. Klausberg of the class of 1916. The Georgetown Glee Club rendered several musical selec- tions, and, last but not least, the dinner was very ably presided over by Willlam W. Bride, corporation counsel for the District of Columbia. Comdr. Hall of the Naval Academy and Jimmy Driver of the University of Virginia are great friends. Both were students at Willam and Mary Cellege some years ago, and last night they exchanged a bit of repartee that brought a laugh from several persons. Next week Virginia and Maryland mect Navy at College Park in a dual meet, and regarding this Driver re- marked to Hall, “Gee, it looks as if the Navy is going to mop up with Vir- ginla and Maryland next week, doesn't 12" Hall looked up and, without cracking a smile, replied as seriously as if he were dropping a dollar in the col- lection plate on Sunday morning: “Yes, I think that'll be a lot of fun, broad idealistic way that was inspiring to all those present, graduates of other universities _as _well as Georgetown. Father Nevils told something of what he desires to do for Georgetown, and in his words were a meaning that went far beyond material values that George- town may derive from possession of a fine group of buildings. In Father Nevils' mind the whole thought is to erect a structure that will help in build- ing those links which bring into closer unity all mankind and maintain funda- | mental ideals on, which the progress of humanity is based. Will Keep Base Ball. “Rumors_have gone about that we| expect to drop base ball,” said Father Nevils, “but instead we expect to re- tain base ball as an intercollegiate sport. We expect to retain all those things that are worth while and intend to change nothing of what we consider to be best in our traditions. We shall adopt no new methods unless we be- lieve, after mature thought, that they are better than that which we already have. We are going to construct new tennis courts, new hand ball courts and we have plans for a new gymnasium, now our greatest need. We also have plans for other buildings, as we grad- ually move our professional schools to the Hilltop, but we shall not depart from what we have established as solid in our educational life. We shall adopt nothing that we consider to be a fad or a passing fancy, but always shall maintain an attitude of conservative progressiveness.” Senator Robert M. La Follette, princi- pal speaker of the evening, delivered a brief but inspiring address on the values derived from athletics, not only by the individual, but by the Nation. It was his opinion that in no other field are s0 many of the fundamental factors that create success to be found. He said that “the ideals that inspire our young men in their competitive athletics, the virile courage that they show, are the great necessities of our Nation, and I hope that these ideals and this courage will become just as much a part of our national life as it don’t you?” The only varsity athletic contest scheduled here yesterday—the base ball game between Western Maryland and Maryland—was prevented by the rain- storm, Georgetown and Maryland fig- ure in the only contest here today—a | tennis match. Washington and Lee’s base ball team comes here tomorrow to meet Mary- land. Maryland won the game played at Lexington early in the year by 3 to 1, but Washington and Lee generally is rated as having one of the best teams in the South. In fact, Maryland felt it was rather fortunate to Whip the Generals. American University goes to An- napolis tomorrow for a tennis match with St. John's, while George Washing- ton is at Hampden Sidney in the same sport. A part of Georgetown's track squad leaves tonight for the Penn relays. The Blue and Gray men who are to com- pete in the sprint relays jump to Philadelphia for the events tomorrow. The remainder of the squad goes up tomorrow night. Coach John O'Reilly believes he has a chance to win in either the 440-yard relay, the half mile or the Spring medley. CAPTAINS NAVY BOXERS ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 23 (®).— Midshipman John B. Davis, Youngs- town, Ohio, class of 1932, has been elected captain of Navy's championship boxing team for next season.

ESTERN, the last of the pub- lic high school base ball teams to get action in the champlonship series, will make its debut tomorrow afternoon against Central in the Eastern Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. Central, which opened its series play with & 9-4 victory over Tech last Fri- day, will be hot after another win. The boys in blue have visions of capturing the title. With Emmett Buscher on the mound and other capable players on its roster, Oentral doubtless has an im- proved team over last season. Western, however, also is believed stronger, having more seasoned players than in 1930. Clarke, who showed | creditably against the Maryland fresh- men & few days ago, may go to the fir- | ing line for the Georgetowners. | For the most part the diamond meet- ings between Central and Western in recent years have been real battles, though Western has not won since 1927. Central was a 11-2 victor last season, but both the 1929 and 1928 games went 11 innings before the Blue triumphed. Western won the 1927 tilt, 7 to 6. Aside from the Central-Western en- counter, two attractive ball games are | listed for District scholastics tomorrow. | Gonzaga and Georgetown Prep, arch | rivals, will have it out at Garrett Park and Tech will go to Baltimore to engage Baltimore Poly. Central's quarter-mile relay team will Naylor, Ditzler, Price and Smith will carry the blue. It will mark the first outside competition of the outdoor cam- paign for the Central tracksters.

Chips From the Mapleways LICE McQUINN, a member of the Agriculture and Federal Leagues, broke the all-time class A singles record of the Woman's Assoclation with a sgt of 363 last night. Miss Quinn's games were 113, 133 and 117. The former record, 352, was made by Mrs. Catherine Quigley in the 1930 tournament. Lorraine Gulli pinned 138 in her sec- ond string with the Lucky Strikes to win the corsage, the nightly prize for high game and the donation of George C. Shaffer. Miss Gulli's 342 set was second high for the evening. Under a rule of the W. W. D. A. girls bowling with more than one team are given the privilege of selecting, before the start of the tournament, the team set which is to count in their all-events. Helena Kohler and Lorraine Gulli rolled sets of 339 and 349, respectively, last night, but both had elected to count their scores with other teams with which they are to roll later. Lilllan Alber and Kitty Hargett bowled to the front in class C doubles with 546, but 10 pins shy of the tourna- ment record for this class. UCKY STRIKES and King Pins ‘were the first of the class A teams to roll in the tourney. The Luckies got away to a bad start, but managed to eke out a 1,556 set. King Pins were unable to “untrack” themselves. Secretary Helena Kohler has an- nounced a change in the schedule, beginning Saturday.

GERSTENKORN comments specifi- cally on the flavor and mellowness of Dutch Masters. IF YOU'VE ever smoked a cigar just when it's new-made, when its flavor and fragrance are at their Peak of Per- fection, you know that no other smoke can compare with it. For years the cigar industry has tried to find a way to preserve that fresh flavor—to give it to you in each All popular sizes ewd shapesy. 10c, 15¢c, 2 for 25¢, and 3 for SOc. Cello-Seald to protect against pocket breakage, cigar you smoke. And now Dutch Masters has succeeded. Their amazing “Cold-Treat- ment” process makes it possible! This process takes a Dutch Masters cigar as it comes from the machine—just at the moment the rich, mellow tobaccos are at their peak of perfection . .. And then, by the exclusive “Cold-Treating” process, that new-made fragrance and flavor are sealed within the cigar itself! So Dutch Masters are as fresh the minute you light them, as they are at the minute they’re made! Try one— to-day. Manufactured by the Consolidated Cigar Corporation, New York, N. Y.
