i By virtue of Jcwt raw's victory in

signal a winner in the eighth revival

Jewtraw won in a magnificent race

a wav to a thing “tart and led until
fifty cards from the finish, when he
altered and was caught by the licet
American. The fast pace set by the
Canadian for almost the whole dis

was the favorite for the event,

HILLTOPPERS SWAMPED
BY NAVY QUINT, 44-13
ANNAPOLIS. MJ., January 26.—Showing much speed and a fair
acquaintance with the passing game, Georgetown was not, how
ever. up to its standard of former years and was beaten this after-
I noon by the Naval Academy basketers, 44 to 13. It was' a record score
i lor *he Midshipmen up to this period of the season.
! . Though a htlle slow in getting its passing game to work accurately,
1 1 M.- Aca^ cm . y team ’ f ! yr . in ß three-quarters of the game, plaved
1 really bnl.iant basket ball, timing of passes being exceptional, and the
* 0t moit OI thC p,ayers ~cttcr than they have exhibited this
Tlie score was tied at one point
( when Parish and JlcNaney scored
from the line, and at three when
Parish and Sweeney followed with
same tosses from the floor, but
Craig’s basket on a long shot gave
the Navy team the load, and ft was
not lost again. The first half ended
18 to 5, in favor of the Midshipmen.
In view of the settled character of
the game, both coaches seized the op
portunity of trying out many play
ers, the Navy particularly going
through nearly the whole squad.
Sweeney, upon the whole, did the
best work for Georgetown. O'Keefe
did some good passing and recovering
of the ball, but was weak in shooting.
I Throughout the game the Navy play
ers were speedy enough to break up
all attempts of the visitors at team
play.

SEVEN GRID GAMES
NET OHIO $174,250
COWMBL’S, Ohio. January 26.
! Ohio State University made net
profits of $174,250 on its seven-game
[ foot ball sober]ule last year, accord
ing to figures announced today.
Total receipts for the season and
the combined attendance for the
, at-homo games both showed a slight
decrease over the 1922 season. Oil!-
! cial attendance for the five at-home
game last fall totaled 145.112. *as
against 160,457 for the five games
in the stadium in 1922. when it was
completed.
Gross foot ball receipts for 1922
were $275,571. as compared with
j?310.95l for the preceding season. As
: in the case of the attendance, the
j 1922 figures were swelled consider
ably by the stadium dedication game
with Michigan, which alone attracted
73.000 speclators. and yielded approxi
. mutely $150,000 at the gate.
Visiting teams last year took away
.593.<'74 in guarantees. Ohio State
{received $85,402 for its three games
•away from home.
The teams fought on even terms
for nearly three-quarters of the open
! ing half. Maryland, after ten min
s tiles of play, was in the van at 6 to 3:
IC. U. forged ahead at 9 to 7 after
! about five more minutes bad elapsed,
i and then took on a spurt to set
■ the, pace at 17 to 7 as the first half
ended.
The Brooklanders really put the
game on ice in the first three min
utes of the second half, in which
time three long shots, two by Lynch
and one by Eberts, and a pair of
counters from the foul line by Bres
lin, made the C. U. total 25.
The last seventeen minutes of play
was a battle royal, the going being
so hard that C. U. added only live
points and Maryland six. Only one
court goal was made during this time,
Fitzgerald -scoring for C. U. on a
follow-up shot.
Every member of the C. U. team
played good basket ball, the work of
Eberts, Breslin and Lynch standing
out. Supplee and Ensor were main*
| stays of the Maryland team.
Probably the largest crowd that
has witnessed a game here this sea
son saw the contest, and not a single
person kicked about a lack of action.

. • u
BALTIMORE, January 26. — Famous coaches, one after another, have ,
shaken their heads when Verne Booth, Johns Hopkins University
distance runner, shuffled down the track, arms high and held close Si
to his body. It was all wrong.
“He’ll never do with that form,” they unanimously agreed. «i
But today Booth is the hope of the country in the Olympics with *
Ritola returning to his beloved Finland. Ritola’s departure leaves Booth
at the head of the class. The only defeat Booth has known was taken *
from Ritola in the five-mile senior event at Chicago. .<
Booth has won time and again. Booth'is awkward, but consistent
Among his victories was one over .

Booth is intercollegiate and South i
Atlantic cross-country champion.
The Hopkins man runs anything i
from a half mile to a marathon. He
entered a ten-mile street run ami
easily finished ahead. He planned on
entering longer events, but his
coaches objected. They persuaded
him to stick to the shorter events
and be eligible for the 3,000, 5,000
