Lastern and Business Tossers Score: College Basketers to Spend a Busy Week TECH AND WESTERN LOSE IN TITLE SERIES OPENERS Capitol Hill Team Easily Routs Manual Trainers, 40 10 20, While Stenographers Win Merry Battle With Georgetowners. BY¥ JOHN L. WHITE. ASTERN and Business assumed the role of conquerors yesterday at the Arcade in the opening games of the annual high school basket ball series for the city championship. Led by Capt. Julius Radice, the Easterners sent the lighter Tech five down to defeat under a 40-to-20 score, while the Stenographer quint emerged victorious from a rough-and-tumble battle with Western, which ended with the count at 21 to 18. In the clash with Tech, Eastern went into the van soon after the starting whistle and was never headed. Going into the second period with the score at 9 to 4, the Maroon and Gray threatened to overcome their opponents’ lead, but after Werber and Councilor had added a quartet of points to the total before the Lincoln Parkers could get started the Light Blue and White pulled away and fi had clear sailing. * Capt. Radice ran true to form and. while playing a guard position, found ime to send the ball through the netting for seven goals from ecrim- mage. He also was given six chances to count from the foul line and made zood on four of the tries. Angus Heeke, who scored the first goal of the serfes, was next on the list of scorers with a total of five court soals. Two Tech Men Shine. Bill Werber, center, and Harry Counctlor, Tech's captain and left forward, led the attack for the losing quint. Perfect foul shooting earned Werber a quartet of counters by the free-toss route, and he registered the same number of points from the floor. | Councilor rang up seven points with| two double-deckers and three foul shots v Heeke, Scruggs, Madigan and a foul shot by Radice gave Eastern a 9-to-4 advantage at the end of the opening quarter. Iiight puints were added in the second ses sion, while Tech was increasing its score by only four tallies. The third period saw Tech swamped under a barage of shots. Taking the floor after intermission with the score at 17 to 8, Eastern opened its strong- est attack and put the game on ice Ly registering eight baskets and two ee shots, while the Manuci Train- were adding only three polnts to | their total. ‘ Coach Guyon sent in a combination of Bastern substitutes for the iast five minutes of the fr Numerous fouls | called on the second-string playe: gave the Techites an opportunity to count frequently by the free-toss route. The final quarter was Tech's best, as nine points were scored to Tastern's five. Like Foot Ball Gawe. | The Western-Business clash had | the appearance of a foot ball game on several occasions. Penaltles werc equent on both sides and inability to find the basket when shooting from the foul mark cost both sides many points. The Stenographers were the great- est offenders and gave their opponents 15 chances to add to their score by | e foul route. The inexperienced cetowners, however, falled to sp the opportunities that came thelr and found the mnet only four times. Business had 13 tries at the hoop and put the ball through ¢ three times. It was an uphill fight for the win- ners and not until after intermission were thg¥ in possession of the Jong end of the score. Wilson sent West- ern ahead in the opening quarter with a free toss. Heagy contributed an- other and Walker accounted for a court goal, while Capt. Sam Lafsky was scoring the Stenographers’ only counters with a basket from scrim- mage. Walker scored again in the second session and also found the netting for one free toss in three tries. Wilson scored a basket to_make Western's total 9 at the half. Evan rang up the only goal scored by Business in the second perlod. The Business regulars, who had heen replaced by the subs in the sec- ond period, came back fresh after the half and walked away from their op- ponents by registering flve double- deckers and two free tosses. Evans scored the basket that put Business in the lead with the score standing ai 14 to 12. Rivers made the count 16 to 13 as the period ended. Honors were even in the final, each team col- lecting five tallies. Line-ups and Summaries: BUSINESS (21). L] | cocuoscnond ol cuoneiorons o | aaosonon r. Fitzgerald Schiosser. Time concRonrcRO!

Y. U. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 9.—A brilliantly played and finely contested game of basket ball here today ended in & victory by the Naval Academy five over New York University, 27 to 21. The margin of victory was se- cured in the last four minutes of the game. The teams played a snappy brand of basket ball, showing much &peed and aggTessiveness and excellent passing and general team play. The defense of both teams, however, was so keen and determined that the scoring was slow, and the chance for every was the result of hard fighting and clever passing. For the first time this year the Navy adhered to the plan of working for close shots, Anothe~ change was the trying of Hamilton, the foot ball quarterback, at center. He has more height than the others used in that position this season and gave a good account of himseif. His three field goals tied Craig for honors in this line.

CENTRAL’S STREAK ENDED BY YORK INSTITUTE TEAM ORK, Pa, January 9—Aiter ¥ winning 12 consecutive games, the Washington Central High School passers tasted their first defeat of the season here this afternoon, when outclassed and out- scored by the York Collegiate Institute.team in an exceptionally fast game. The final score was 32 to 21. That the local prep school team had planned its attack almost perfectly for this afternoon’s game and that it had practiced long and hard for the battle was shown by the way the Y. C. I players went into the game from the start and completely be- wildered the Central team with their sensational passing and shooting. Be- fore the first 5 minutes of play had elapsed Y. C. I. was on the long end of a 15-to 4 score. The invaders found themselves late in the first half and from then on gave the local team a stiff battle, but the big lead rolled up by the latter was too much for Washington to overcome. The half-time score was 23 to 13, in favor of Y. C. I. In the second half the Washington team resembled itself once again with its dandy floor game, splendid passing and marvelous defensive game, and it was all the locals could do in the closing half to outscore the Capital City lads, 9 to 8. Tipping, Kohler and McKinstry ‘were the main cogs in the well tutored Y. C. L. team, but Dunn, Banta and Moser, after the first 6 minutes, play- ed equally as well, although they did not score as many points as did the Y. C. 1's outstanding players. Line-up and Summary.

Cappelli shot 36 goals from the what doubtless is a record score for basket ball in this section when they defeated the Fort Myer Boy court while Weige! was close behind with 30. Villari with 11, Shari with 9, and Smith with 5, and Lynch, a substitute with 2 helped pile up the staggeTing count. Wyatt got three court goals for all of Fort Myer's points. ' Boys' Club Senators had a much harder game downing the Sherwood A, C., 29 to 19. : Beal, Lyreh, Loftus, Davidson, Cas- sassa and Walters played for the Senators, while Wolcott, Perry, Tully, Claydon and Sawyer performed for the Sherwoods. Lynch, with eight court goals and three from the foul line, totaling 19 points, was the big gun for the win- ners. Scoring for the Sherwoods was well distributed. !

Even the professional players them- selves have never played under such fast conditions. Although nearly all of them have competed in cages up North, the games then were played under the old professional rules, al- lowing the twohanded dribble and siving opportunity for stalling. The game tonight will be played as usual under the intercollegiate rules, no stalling being possible. Ed Lynch and Tillie Voss of the De- troft team are the players who will hold the limelight. Lynch, cne of te greatest college players two years ago with Catholic University, is pressing Voss for popularity in De: troit. Voss is considered by many as the greatest center in the game.

After the Maryland cross country team had trained for a month for the annual championship event of the South Atlantic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union, it was noti- fied Friday that it would not be al- lowed to compete. Maryland won the event the last two years. However, in tesy that they were allowed {o take part in the two years they won Maryland would have been allowed to enter the race had it joined the Amateur Athletic Unfon as a club organization. In reality, a college team has no right to compete against a group of club runners in such an event. College men train and work for such races under far more advan- tageous conditions than the club ath- letes and would win practically all the time. There is no reason why the Amateur Athletic Union clubs in the South the University of Maryland year after year to step in and take honors that legitimately ought to be won by some club member of the organization. The Amateur Athletic Union people were very courteous in their treatment of the situation and undoubtedly right. North Carolina’s track prospects were given a jolt recently when it was learned that Andy Bell, star miler of last year, would not return to school. He will cost North Caro- lina just about five points in every meet in which it takes part, because no other miler in the South could fin- ish within 20 yards of him, unless it were Tharpe of Richmond. any of his meets where it was neces- sary for him to go out and extend himself. However, without Bell, North Caro- lina is looking for one of the strong- est squads it has ever had. It still has good distance men in Elliott, Pritchett, Danlels, Henderson, Ber- rier, Tharpe, Goodwin and Lambeth. The Tarheels also possess a capable group of middle-distance men in Jonas, Edwards, Parker, Rhinehart, Henley ‘Watt and Hackney. quarter is the most proficient of the middle-distance men, as he covers the quarter in about 50 seconds. As & matter of fact, Coach Bob Fetzer is expecting him to come below 50 sec- onds this year. McPherson, sprinter; Giersch and Huggins, hurdlers; Ford- ham in the welghts; Ambrose, high and broad jumper; Barber, javelin, and Corbett, pole vault, are the other varsity men of 1925 who are back. In addition to these there are several other athletes of promise coming up from last year's freshman squad. Coach Bob Fetzer, who has done for track at North Carolina what Wallace Wade has done for foot ball at Ala- bama, is in charge of the squad again. Three years ago he built up a good nucleus and now has a squad that in dual meets is about as capable as any other in the South. In fact, it is doubtful if any other squad in the South will be able to beat North Caro- lina this year in & dual event. Craig of the Naval Academy is one of the best shots from the floor on any basket ball team in the country. As one coach recently said, there's only one way to stop him from mak- Ing goals and that is not to give him a chance to shoot. If Craig misses a fair attempt for a goal it is the exception. Catholic University evidently hasin Foley one of the best all-around ath- letes that have worn its colors in the last 10 years.
