HEAD AT HILLTOP . FIRM FOR SPORTS Tells at Banquet That He | cheer leader, Must Adhere to Policy |isz2 Passed on to Him. | BY R. D. THOMAS. | ED-HOT sport adherents of | Georgetown University, | moved almost to bitterness in some instances by the steady decline of Hoya prowess in the last several years, felt far more kindly toward powers that be on the Hilltop today, following an earnest explanation given by Rev. Coleman Nevils, S. J., presi- dent of the university, at the eighth annual dinner of the Var- sity G Club at the Willard last night. A lukewarm attitude toward sport on the part of the Georgetown faculty had been held responsible by some for &hei failure of the Blue and Gray to uphold old standards. No longer is the Hilltop | famous for its track and fleld squad that once counted among its numbers not a few of the world's finest athletes. Not in recent years has Georgetown produced a ball team to compare with the national champions that wore its colors a decade ago. Its foot ball team in the last several seasons has struggled against difficulties born of the general letdown. UT these things have not come about necessarily through a lack of sympathy with sport in the minds and hearts of Georgetown's adminis- | trators, Father Nevils said. He and the institution itself were pictured by | him as small units in a vast system | with a general objective not to be at- | tained without team work on a grand | scale, and to this system Georgetown and himself, he declared, were sub- servient. Whatever might be his atti- tude toward sport in the life of George- town, he pointed out vigorously, his administration would be governed by | policy passed on to him. Father Nevils clearly implied that | higher-ups in the Jesuit order have | curtailed varsity athletic endeavors. . The president's talk capped a pro- gram of speeches thot for interest and Tib-splitting wit was unexcellea in the brilliant history of the G Club dinner. 'OR nearly half an hour Floyd Gib- bons, the war reporter, held the gathering spellbound with remin- iscences of China or laughing heastily over his experiences as a Georgetown student a quarter dentury back. Gibbons, & native Washingtonian, at- tended Georgetown for one yerr. If the noted newspaperman is to be taken seriously in the matter, which is doubtful, his college career was ter- minated by a poker game in which the cards were dealt on a tombstone in the graveyard back of Georgetown. After viewing affairs in China, Gib- bons said, he felt he had a word of cheer for America in its struggle with economic depression. Yankeeland would be happy if its folk could compare their lot with those of the Chinese, millions of whom are one meal from starvation. China, with its four or five hundred million inhabitants, is unconquerable, Gibbons ventured. He pointed to the fact that all nations that have at- tempted tc conquer China in the end have been ~onsumed by its almost in- credible mass. A common prayer among American soldiery over there, he said, 4s that their homeland never will be- come seriously involved in the “Chinese mess.” China's rapidly increasing pop- ulation will become a world problem, with the solution largely up to college- bred men, Gibbons said. 'HE high ideals fostered by sport, and especially foot ball, were stressed by Dr. John B. Suther- land, foot ball coach at Pittsburgh, and Tom Mills, the Hoya grid prof., both of whom gave some striking instances of sportsmanship. Senator Royal S. Copeland of New Ycrk spoke of the general benefits of athletics, but emphasized the great re- sponsibility of citizenship placed upon college men. A surprise guest was John J. Evers, the old Chicago Club firebrand, whose son is captain of the present George- town nine. Letters were presented the ethletes by Dr. G. Harris (Doc) White, who went from Georgetown to immortal fame as a big league pitcher. Thomas A. Cantwell, another old Georgetown flinger who made the major grade, headed the Banquet Committee, which did a perfect job. Henry 1. Quinn hit the ball squarely on the schnozzie in his first time up es a toastmaster, as he put it, “in the big league.” 1931-1932. Foot_ball—Maurice Dubofsky, cap- tain; Joseph L. Alenty, C.

EORGETOWN'S base ball team leaves early tomor- row morning on a two- day trip, to play New York University at New York in the afternoon and Seton Hall College at Seton Hall, N. J., Sat- | urday. The team comes back Sunday morning for its next home game Tuesday with West Virginia. | Monday the Blue and Gray trimmed | Western Maryland to score its initial victory, and it is likely that Coach Sheedy will use about the same line-up in the two Northern games that he sent on the field in that contest, Against N. Y. U. and Seton Hall, Georgetown is not likely to find itself on easy street, | as both those schools usually have teams good enough to hold their own in almost any game in college ranks. | HILE Georgetown's ball team is in the North tomorrow, one Ma land squad will be at home and another at Richmond. The nine meets Washington and Lee here, while the track team makes the trip to Richmond for a dual meet with Richmond Univer- Both the varsity and freshman squads go to the Virginia capital. This will be the first contest in which a Maryland team has met Richmond in several years. The first ball game with Washington and Lee was won by the Generals, 6 to 3 P at the Georgetown dinmer last night, Johnny Evers, he of Tinker- to-Evers-to-Chance fame, brought down the house with a remark that “I was the mildest and most retiring of all professional ball players.” Johnny was anything but that, as he was in the habit of scrapping for everything and anything that he thought was worth up a fight for or that he| thought he could win by putting up a fight for. Evers, sr., is father of Evers, jr., who this year is captain of George- town's nine, ENATOR COPELAND of New York made a statement in his address | to the Georgetown alumni and | students that might well have been | heard and assimilated by every college | student in the country. And by every alumnus also. Said the Senator: | “You know that it costs a good deal and rapidly growing Know what it means to use a blade that’s especially made for your beard. Buy a package of Probaks and try one or two. Then if Probak isn’t everything you want in a razor blade—return the package to your dealer and get your money back.

And because of that you owe a debt to society that you should pay, and pay willingly. There has never been a time when so much depended on the educated man and it is the college graduate to whom the country must turn for leadership. Recognize the debt i‘o:d OW!J‘ and' make that leadership a eadership_of service to your people ! and your Nation.” Y el Too many college and university students fail to recognize this ideal, although some of them do recognize it and do try their best to give the kind of service to which Senator Copeland re- ferred. In this day, though, when there is a general laxness of discipline in the universit it would be well if every college student in the country could have heard Senator Copeland’s remarks, 'OM CANTWELL, former George- town pitcher, who played a big part in managing the Blue and Gray “G" dinner, hardly seems a day older than when he used to b ball across the plate on the o'd H; top diamond and was the most feared pitcher in college ranks, in this sec- tion at any rate. Incidentally, Cantwell deserves a lot of credit for the way the dinner was run off and for the fine program he arranged. N the Somebody last night described “Doc” White, who handed out “G" men, as one of the great.st pitchers of all time, and has was not far off in his estimates. “Doc” had everything that any pitcher had, ex- cept for the dazzling speed that two or three of them produced, and more. No pitcher ever had a better change of pace, few have had a more decep- tive curve ball, and no left-hander ever possessed better control; and in a base ball experience that has ex- tended over 25 years and from coast to coast the writer has never seen any man pitch with greater intelligence. There was an easy grace, a co- ordination of effort, in White's pitch-| ing that was almost perfect. His was the kind that was so perfectly co- ordinated that he seemed almost to pitch without effort and never with exertion.

Spencer Chase, first-sacker, still is| nursing & broken finger; Willie Wolfe, second baseman, though playing, has a badly damaged digit on his gloved paw while Shorty Chalmers, shortstop, has a bruised hand. Lloyd Jones, manager of the team who has caught some, and Bill Luney who was one of the squad for a time in previous years, have donned the mas in an attempt to help out. However Bill O'Hara, who came up from last season's yearlings, probably will do most of the backstopping. Mat Matches ‘ By the Associated Press.
