JOHN’S College Rifle Team Preparing For Matches With Other Institutions EXPECT GOOD SHOWING | | Prospects for a good rifle team are ‘ particularly bright this year at St. John s College, and the cadets are confidently expecting to make a good showing in matches which will be ar ranged with other collegiate institu ; tions. This year the Orange and Black marksmen will be greatly aided by having the finest rifles obtainable, the Springfield .22 calibre, model 1922, with which to do their fifing at the somewhat elusive bulls-eyes. These rifles, it is said, are much more true than the ones used last season, hence a i ig improvement in marksmanship is looked for. Tenni Members To Get Letters Owing to the fact that the St. John's faculty has decided to award a minor letter to any man partici pating in three matches, many more men than previously are trying for the rifle team. Many of the upper classmen already have been given try-outs and the Fresh men t are show ing their skill with the rifle each day during drill hour. Incidentally, it is said that a number of "good shots" have 1 een uncovered from among the new men. U. 11. Ridgely, Jr., has been elected captain of this year's squad and the following from last year's team are again showing their prowoss: Cadets Buckler, Schilling. G. B. McCeney, R. S.* McCeney and Rice.

Demands For Printing Purposes * ■ y (By The Ahoclilcil WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Negotia-! tions are under way which are ex-j pected to initiate the estallishment of lan important industry in Southern! ‘ | [ Alaska capable of furnishing perpe-j j tually a large proportion of print pa- j per demands of the I’nited States. Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture expects soon to sign contracts with a numler of respon sible concerns for the purchase of ' pulpwood, from Alaska National For ests and for the allocation of water power sites through the Pow er Commission for the purpose of I manufacturing both pulpwc-od and 1 paper. On the Tongass National For- j est. it Is estimated there is a source of supply of timber which can fur- j nish perpetually an annual yield of print paper equal to one-third of the total national consumntion of the j United States. The industry when es- j tablished will be upon a permanent; [basis with raw material at a reason-j able price. To Develop Forest For some time the Forest Service has l een collecting the information essential to the practical development of the Tongass National Forest and the work is well toward completion. The merchantable timber on that for est includes at least 100,000,000 cords of western hemlock and Sitka spruce. As a step forward the establishment of the paper industry in Alaska the j Tongass Forest has been tentatively divided into fourteen zones, each em bracing sufficient timler to furnish a large paper mill with a permanent supply of raw material. Each zone has 1 een doliniated so as to include water power sites sufficient to meet the requirements of manufacture. The Federal Power Commission has been co-operating with the Forest Service in securing the water power data. In addition to providing rell ' able information regarding water power available for the Alaskan pa per industry, the work has resulted ' in tho discovery of a number of val uable water power sites not hereto fore known to exist, notably one per -1 mining the development of from 22,- 000 to 24.000 horsepower at very low cost. ‘ VISITING CLERGY TO ; occupy LOCAL PULPITS i On account of an attack of grip the Rev. H. W. Burgan will be unable to j conduct the services at Calvary M. E. Church tomorrow. In the morning j Harry S.

ESTABLISHED IN 18S4. ANNAPOLIS. MD., SATURDAY. JANUARY 27. 1923 RECRUITING PARTY OF I ARMY SEEKS MEN FOR j ARTILLERY AND CAVALRY To conduct a campaign to secure ' recruits for the United States Army. , a recruiting team arrived in Anna i polis yesterday afternoon "and estab , lished headquarters in the State ar mory on Bladen street, where infor mation will be imparted to all young j men desirous of entering the military ' ! service of the country. The recruiting party which is fro:* [ Fort Myer, Va., near Washington, is headed by Lieut. E. M. Taylor, Six teenth Field Artillery; Sergeant Thomas Tworney, Third Cavalry, and Corporal John D. Salotti, Sixteenth Field Artillery, wi’l remain in the city for several weeks. The army is in need of young men for the cavalry and artillery tranches of the serv -1 ice. All men enlisting here will be sent Ito Fort Myer for preliminary train-! ! Ing. In addition to having headquar- j. j ters at the armory where men desir-; ! ing to enlist may secure all iufor- j mation, members of the recruiting 1 j team will also make a canvass of the ' city and surrounding territory. iran FIVES CLASH TODIYj Old Time Rivalry Will Mani fest On Basketball Court At Academy ! Judications pointed to another per iod of tense excitement for basketball fans when the Navy tossers clashed with the five of Georgetown Univer sity. of Washington, on the armory court this afternoon, starting at 2:30 o'clock. The meeting is the first be tween these two institutions in three years and there is no doubt that much ; of the old-time enthusiasm would i make itself manifest, because of the rivalry that has existed since basket ball was taken up as a regular sport at the paval Institution. Local followers of the game recall that Georgetown was the first team the middies in a regular game; hence the rivalry. George town players of more thud a dozen years ago were, in fact, largely in strumental in placing the game on a firm footing among the middies, and j the Hilltoppers appeared on the Navy j schedule regularly until two years ! ago. Now that games have been re | sinned, it'will be like a rekindling of j old fires. Teams Are On Edge Both teams are on edge for the fray, each keen to turn in a victory, but the odds apparently favor the midship ; men, who have been going great guns | during the last two weeks, their most 1 notable achievement being the tri : umph over University of Pennsyl j vania. last year's Intercollegiate i champions. The middies now are j ! rated at the top of college teams. • Coaches Allen and Ault have been j aiming at fast teamwork and a five j man scoring combination. Extreme effort has been placed on these two points, and the middies ‘will not take 1 any chance against the visitors. FINES FOR VIOLATING MOTOR VEHICLE LAW $1,342; 3 SENT TO JAIL The weekly report of Automobile Commissioner E.

BLUEJACKETS GIVE I VA9ABOWS EIGHT Sailors Of Reina Mercedes Held Local Quint Close In First Half Expecting a rather easy time of it, but meeting something of a tartar, about describes the basketball game between the Vagabond Athletic Club, of Annapolis, and the bluejackets at tached to the station ship Reina Mer cedes at the Naval Academy, which was staged in the gymnasium at St. John's College last night. The Vaga bonds finally won out by the score of 35 to 20, but the decisiveness of the count scarcely accredits for the good work done by the sailors. Sailors Clever Passers Playing a game of the standard that would make the average college team take notice, with a display of especi ally good passing, the sailors kept ♦heir opponents on the jump all the time in the first half, and the “Vags" were forced to the limit to end that period with a one-point margin, the score reading 18 to 17. Time and agajn the bluejackets broke through the Vagabond defense. Vagabonds Spruce l’p In the second half, however, the seamen w’ere unable to get going good. They continued to play a steady game, but passed recklessly and lost their keenness in shooting for the basket. The Vagabonds were correspondingly stronger on the de fense, and also uncovered flashes of better offensive play. As an indica tion of the better defensive work of the “Vags,” the seamen scored only once from court, as well as the foul circle, during the closing period. Wilson. Musterman and Ault were the stellar performers for the Vaga bonds. while Nidds and O’Donald ex celled for the bluejackets. Lino-up and summary: Vagabonds. Pos. R. Mercedes.

Gloomy Prospects For Over Sunday FLU HITS SOCIAL GAIETY ■ • “For Maryland: Rain touight and Sunday; somewhat wanner Sunday." This gloomy forecast, received from the Weather Bureau at AnnuooLs tuis morning, added to the damper already cast over Annapolis by the heavy banks of gray clouds overit tugin?; the city. “I'lir Causes Big l.ull According to all indications, this will probably be the dullest week-end that the city has suffered since the \rmy-Navy game drew prac'ieillv alt of its inhabitants to Philadelphia. One j of the reasons for the lack of the usual social activities this Saturday is the wave of sickness which has swept over this vicinity, leaving numerous victims of “flu." grip and similar afflictions, battling with drugs and medicines in an effort to rega n '.heir normal “pep" and ambition. Surely if there is anything less con ducive to entertaining and gaiety than rainy weather, it is the stupid. | heavy-headed feeling which is the partner of all colds and grip. .Mid-Year Exams, Drain buck Then, too, Annapolis is on the threshold of mid-term examinations. Both at the Academy and St. John's, weary youths are keeping late hours in frantic last-minute efforts to ‘cram" all the knowledge imparted to them during the past several mouths I into heads already aching from the 1 unaccustomed strain. That is why , he “hop” girls will not brighten the ! dty with their pretty faceß. modish j clothes and gay laughter this week end, That is why there will be few social activities among the younger >cople this Saturday, and that is why he usual Joyous spirit that pervades 'be city no week-ends seems to be partly diminished. Dance At Carvel Hall At Carvel Hall, however. *he eus omary Saturday night dance w.-ll give those who desire an opportunity to ippease their appetites for the pleas ure of the light fantastic and music.

PRICE TWO CENTS. SIT JOHN'S Plllt DEFEATED BY WASHINGTON Eastern Shore Basketball Tos sers Put Big Crimp In Chances Of Local Collegians To Land Intercollegiate Championship For Season. -4w ■- - 4 CHESTERTOWN LADS PROVED TOO CLASSY Losing to Washington College at Chestertown last night, St. John's had a decided crimp put in its chances of landing the State Intercollegiate championship, whereas the Chester town aggregation took another big step leading to the titular honor. The Cadets were defeated decisive ly. 28 to 12. The Sho’ tossers dis played a marked sMperiority in all de partments. and. assuming a substan tial early advantage, held the Cadets safe during the remainder of the hos tilities. At no time were the Anua pciitans serious contenders for the laurels. It was Washington’s ninth I straight victory. Eastern She’ Boys Clever The Maroon and Black basketers played a remarkably clever game, loth on the offense and defense. Time and again they worked the ball down the court by excellent pass, work, with the result that the Shore quint had many chances to count di rectly under the basket, and there I was little or no shooting from nild- I court. When the Washington net was j threatened tho entire team suddenly | switched to the defensive and St. i John's cagers were invariably thwarted In their efforts to get in an advantageous position to tally. Washington's stellar ftve-jnan defense accounts for the fact that the Cadets scored only three baskets from the court. Cadets On Defensive Realizing that they could not suc cessfully elude the Washington , guards, St. John's players resorted to the defensive during the greater part of the match, but even this style of play failed to produce the desired result. Coach Kibler’s charges, al- I though held fairly safe during the I first few minutes of piAy, soon started a sparkling passing game, which com pletely bewildered the Johnnies. Dumschott and Carroll were the bright stars of the game, and it was their accurate and steady shooting that gave Washington the advantage jin the early stages. Once assuming ' the lead, the Maroon and Black gradually increased it and were lead ing by H points to 6 at the half-time whistle. The second half was a repetition of the preceding one. with the Eastern Shore five always playing a superior article of basketball. Washington's second-string players replaced the first team in the latter stages. Carroll Star Of Dame Of the 28 points scored by Washing ton, Carroll registered exactly half of that number, getting three field goals and eight from the foul line. Dum schott had four baskets from the field and Carrington a pair of double deckers. Matthews’ brilliant playing accounted for eight of St. John’s dozen tallies.
