THE SUNDAY ST WASHINGTO. D. C, JANUARY 13, 1924—SPORTS s SECTION. Western and Central Basketers Score : Maryland Wins Over George Washingto RED 'AND WHITE PRESSED BY TECH IN TITLE SERIES Manual Trainers Beaten When Opponents Stage Late Rally in High School Championship Tourney Match—Business Easily Vanquished, BY ARGYLE FINNEY. GALLANT rally late in the game enabled the more experienced ‘Western team to overcome Tech, 25 to 15, in the final portion of the high school basket ball championship series double-header yesterday afternoon at Central Coliseum. In the opening fray, how- ever, Central won easily, 24 to 16, over Business that played its first game in the annual titular tournament. The Manual Trainers were unexpectedly strong during the first half when they battled the Red and White to an 8-8 deadlock, but several drives by Western in the second half proved too much for the Tech combination. e There were thrilling moments in the Central-Business tilt, in which the lilnlc al:;l White played one of the best defensive games seen in the series the ar.

Those graduating from that combination Into the business of teaching the game were Fred Rice, Jim Collifiower, his brother George and Frits Schlosser. Here is an old | newspaper account of the start of three of these men as college basket ball instructors: “In Jim Colltflower. Fred Rice and Frank Schigsser, in charge of basket ball teams at Georgetown, Catholic niversity and George Washington, respectively, local followers of the popular Indoor pastime recognize three of the most capable coaches o gaged by the Washington institu- tions In all history. “An Interesting coincidence comes | to light in the fact that the men were former teammates at George- own University and each of them eld the additional distinction of captaining a team on the hilltop at one time or another. Three better all-round players than those men-. tioned cannot be recalled In the many years that basket ball has been on a firm basis in the local ath- letic arena. Each man can right- tully claim considerable experience and an excoptional knowledge of the game from a sclentific standpoint that ves as the only necessary quaiification for the positions that now occupy. All three men are indebted to a considerable extent to Prof. Maurice Joyce of Georgatown University, who taught them the greater part of what they know about the game. Prof. was directly in charge of teams on which they played and to- has every right to boast of the George Collifiower joined the coach- Ing ranks last year, assuming charge of the squad at Alovsius Club. He piloted the I streeters to a city cham- pionship and is grooming them for the campalgn at hand. Of the three other old Georgetown players, only Rice is‘teaching the game now. He remains at Catholic University, where he has enjoyed great succes: Jim Collifiower, hefore leaving the field, was head ‘of the coaching staff at the Naval Academy and developed strong teams. Since these Georgetown team grad- uates entered the coaching field, a number of other men who learned the game here have tried their hands at basket ball tutoring and several have been quite successful. Perhaps the voung players of Washington are not more careful students of the sport than the youth of other cities, but it is doubtful if any place of importance has turned out more and better Instruc- | tors In proportion to those engaged in the game of basket ball than the National Capital. 5.

NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, playing its first basket bail game since 1919 and figuring in the initial varsity court contest ever to be staged on the campus, last night defeated George Wash ington, 41 to 22, in the new Ritchie gymnasium at College Park. It marked Old Liners real entry_into the basket ball realm. as the quints that wore the colors of the institution a couple seasons in the past were ot truly representative, as there.were no facilities for the proper de- velopment of the sport. Maryland used ten players in gaining i of them are Washingtomians. Fi court game in Capital_ schools. college elsewhere. While George Washington has been weakened by the loss of several of its léading players, the combination it put on the floor last night was by no means weak, and the showing of Maryland with & team that had never before plaved together in a game was highly creditable. Of cou 3 there were plenty of faults viewed by Coach Burton Shipley, but, under the “circumstances, it is not likely that he will say very much about them. 014 Liners Start Slowly.

McNICHOL Member of University of Pemnsyl- vania basket ball team aund oue of the “basket ball MeNichols,” the mowt famous family of players in the gnme, The correct method of receiving a ball is to have the arms extended to half their length in front of the body, palms of the hands pointing in the direction of the passer and fingers spread to receive the ball. The ball must be caught and held away (§om the body,. thus leaving the pasSer in a position to dispose of the ball in the shortest possible time. The ball must not .be caught against the body with the arms around it as, in such a position, con- | 8ha iderable time is lost in disposing of it. In catching a hard pass the ball will naturally drive the arms back |yef*5e against the body, but the runner will always be able to dispose of it quick- ly if the ball is received with arms extended and hands spreads. ) (Copyright, 1024, Assoclated Editors) HUNTER AND VON ELM BEAT HAVERS-OCKENDEN LOS ANGELES, Cali —Willle - Hunter, smateur golf champion, Von Eim, former trans-Mississippi gmateur champlon, today defsated Arthur Havers and James Ocken champlona. = respectively, of ., in Country o] Y f land and France. 3 to :&unu:_umlu it ), Fraw. tt, s 1 for Blumer, ‘Maara, —————— 1,165 FIGURE IN SPORTS AT NOTRE DAME IN YEAR SOUTH BEND, Ind, January 12.— Approximately 1165 students par- Notre Dame during the past year, ac- cording to the report of Knute K.

A winter pastime committee, head- ed by A. C. Allen, treasurer of the ‘Western Golf Assoclation, set out a year ago to provide frosty sports for Bkokle members and evolved a scheme that promises to care for the watering of the links during the warm seasons. . The ninth hole of Skokie is short, with the green on the hill alongside the clubhouse and the tee 186 vards away on another rise ibetween, as well as the tee and green | ber of ex is well above the rest of the course, and by placing a dam at the lower end of the swale, it was possible to cause a pond of considerable extent. The pond, frosen over in winter, furnishes a skating rink large enough to accommodate the 300 members and their families. In the spring the pond rises still higher, forming a water hazard for the hole, and In summer iping carries the water to all the jower part of the club property and provides ways and greens. In addition to the water hazard skating rink, the winter sports com- mittee has provided a slide from the eighteenth green that will furnish & 600-yard ride for tobogganers and Ekiers. This, with other amusements on snow and Ice, promise, from expres- slons of members, to keep the club- hot buzsing with activity all wi 'eby cut down the house upkeep £o that prices during the golf season may be reduced. . |FEET ARE BRINGING | PROBLEMS IN SPORT BY WALTER CAMP. NEW YORK, January 13.—Did any one ever realize how troublesome in all ages are the wayward feet? The foot ball rules committee has been endeavorigg for some yvears to get control of them in the *jump shift” plays, and the tennis associa- | tions of all countries have tried to shackle them behind the base line. This year they propose to mak still further attempt at the February meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. It is proposed to legislate that a man must have both feet behind the base line—that he can have only one off the ground when his racket strikes the ball—that he must be at'rest on his feet outside the court when he takes his position to_serve. But they admit that slight move- ments of the feet will not be penal- ized. So there you are. Some one said ef dancing that one was always swkward if he began to think about s feet.
