SPORTS Western Rebuild i FINDING HIGH SCHOOL FIVE . TASK FOR COACH AHEARN Red Tossers Last Winter Scored Only One Victory in Eight Starts in Title Series—Business to Enter Three Games This Week. ESTERN'S basketers, who are to play their first game of the season on December 16, w h e n Woodward School's five will be en- countered in Western's gymnasium, plan to enter several other engage- ments prior to their start in the public high school champlonship series. Coach Dan Ahearn hopes to have the Red team ready to make a more Impressive showing in the series this Winter than it did last. Then it ecored but one victory in eight starts. Business, that the Georgetown boys trimmed, 18 to 14, was the only five to fall before Western, although it lost a number of other tilts only after the sharpest battling. Eastern, which fought Central to a deadlock for the title, conquered Ahearn's proteges by only 29 to 21 and Tech barely nosed out the Red tossers by a lone point. Business, in a second engagement be- tween the fives, took the measure of the West End quint by only three points. Good Players Lost. While a group of veterans are at hand, Western suffered tne loss of a number of capable performers through graduation and Ahearn doubt- less has a real task to mold a five that will he able to make a strong bid for the title. Dependables of last season’s quint Inst by graduation were: Capt. Albert Heagy, guard; McDiarmid, forward; Randall, guard, and Young, forward. Heagy was one of the outstanding members of the team and the other three were sturdy performers. Chief among the veteransavailable fs Capt. George (“Pewee”) Walker Thile last season was his first at the court game, Walker topped his team in scoring, showing particular aptitude at looping 'em in from around midcourt. He also showed mpressively on defense. New Western Squad. Other experfenced players upon whom Ahearn is counting heavily are Sam Coombs, Don Garber, Bob Wilson and O'Daniel. Coombs, who also is one of the best tackles that ever #howed on a District scholastic grid- fron team, is a center, for which posi- tion his husky bufld well fits him. Garber, a forward, showed much promise last season after breaking into the line-up in the closing games. Bob Wilson and O'Daniel, a for- ward, are doughty tossers, who re- vealed a deal of worth in the last campaign. Warrer. Rabbitt, crack end on the foot ball team, and Don de Veau and Alton Buscher, the last named a new- comer, are among other aspirants of more than usual promise. Coach Ahearn plans to devote the next several weeks to experimenting with the squad to determine the best combination that can be evolved. Four high school basket ball teams will swing into action this week. Business will be the busiest. Tomor- row the Stenographers will tackle the Strayer's Business College five in the Business High gym, Thursday they play American University and Sat- urday Swavely Prep will be met at Manassas. Central and Eastern will play games with St. John's Prep, the first named encountering the Saints tomorrow in the Verriont Avenue gyn. Eastern will entertain St. John's Friday. tral will travel to Frederick, Md., Saturday for a game with the Mary- land School for the Deaf. Tech will meet Woodward School in the Y. M. +. A. gymnasium Friday. # ‘Gonzaga plays two games, one with Strayer's on_Thursday and another with Calvert Hall of Baltimore Friday. Central High faces a heavy scheduls this Winter, having arranged 25 games with many out-of-town op- ponents in the list. The Central schedule follows: December 7.

While the Orpheum All-Stars, headed by the Spinella brothers, are regarded here as the best lot of duck- pinners Brooklyn can produce, there will be no special team picked to send against them in the intercity bowling match that will start at Convention Hall on December 29. As Convention Hall is footing the bili for the Washington end of the af- fair. it plans to select from its own squad of bowlers the men who will endeavor to uphold the bowling pres- tigé of the National Capital here and in_Broc on January 8. This Convention Hall squad includes Glenn Wolstenholme, Al Work, Jack Whelan, Arthur Urban and Joe Mul- roe among others, and the squad on past performances looms strong enough to take good care of the inter- city match proposition. Tentative plans call for these five men to face the Brooklyn bunch in team competition, while Wolstenholme and Work are apt to tackle Phil and Barney Spinella in_the doubles and Y enholme and Phil Spinella sup- ply the singles fireworks. Although duckpins are not bowled &s extensively in Brooklyn as here, the Orpheums are quite familiar with the game. All are accomplished £hooters. The match agreement calls for the use of Baltimore duckpins and B.inch bowling balls such as are used here, in both ends of the contest Here are some notes of activities in leagues last week for which space could not be found in The Sunday Star's pink section: LADIES' DISTRICT LEAGUE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 6.— Atlanta base ball fans will have to be content with only part-time base ball, it has been decided by the directors of_the Southern Association. R. J. Spiller, new owner of the Atlanta franchise, brought to the meeting a_proposal whereby Atlanta also would have had a team in the Southeastern League. The proposal was voted down. The 1927 season will begin April 12 and the schedule will call for 154 games. The salary limit of the league will remain at $6,500, prescribed by the national association for class “A" leagues. The waiver price is $1,000. Radio broadcasting of Southern League games while they are being played will not be allowed in 1927. The schedule meeting will be held in New Orleans, February 14, to ar- range that detail of the coming sea- son. . D. The Coening Star BOYS CLUB BY FRED TURBYVILLE. Can you stand on the foyl shot line and throw in three out of four bas- kets today? Can you run 50 yards at top speed and breathe regularly after two min- utes’ rest? Can you go through a half hour's brisk practice without having sore muscles next day? Chances are only a few of you fel- lows who are now thinking of basket ball can do those things. Which just goes to show that you can't start playing basket ball at top form the first day out. You need training and practice. Last Winter throwing three baskets out of four may have been easy for you. But your eyes and muscles were working together then., They've had a long layoff, and they must practice to get back their teamwork. At various times during the last year you probably could sprint 50 3 yards and then recover your regular | E breathing almost instantly. But you must be in condition to do those things. And when ‘you're in ‘perfect’ shape you can bend and touch your fingers to your toes without the least bit of stiffness. And when you can't, you are not in shape. Soft, supple muscles are necessary. So is good wind. And so is team- work between eyes and muscles. start in and get these now. Next—*Physical Test for Every Boy.” (Copyright. 1926.) GOLFERS AT ARGYLE POSTPONE TOURNEY All set for a day of competition in the annual turkey tournament of the club, golfers of the Argyle Country Club were forced to postpone their play yesterday when two inches of snow blanketed the golf course. The tourney will be played on the first Sunday. weather conditions permit. Four prizes are to be awarded, in- cluding a “mystery” prize, which has all the golfers guessing. Little daunted by a snow-covered golf course, Columbia Country Club golfers will gather at the club tomor- row to settle a long-standing question of sypremacy among the men who have been bragging during the past season about their proficiency. A tournament has been arranged in which more than a score of the promi- nent golfing members of the club will compete, the losers to buy the lunch- eon, and pay other small bets. D'Arcy Banagan, assistant pro at the club, has been named custodian of the records, having become thor- oughly familiar with the alibis and explanations of all the club members over the years. Pairings for the tourney which will decide the mem- bers of the club who have a right to boast of their golf conquests follow: George P. James vs. L. A. Snead, H. King Cornwell _vs. H T. Shannon. 1.

Wright FLOWERS PILOT ASKS REVERSAL OF DECISION CHICAGO, December 6 (#).—An official reconsideration of the ref- eree’s decision which took away Tiger Flowers' middleweight title and gave it to Mickey Walker, was sought today from the Illinois boxing commission by Walk Miller, Flowers’ manager. Miller sent the commissioners a let- ter, stating his appeal, and expected to confer with them. The commission plans to meet tomorrow to discuss the case. No protest was filed by Miller in his letter, but he declared he thought the commission should reverse the ruling of Referee Benny Yanger of its own accord. ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. EPORT from the upper Poto- mac gives the condition of that stream as clear and the Shenandoah a little cloudy, but now that these streams will allow the. small and large bass anglers to whip the water for their favorite fish with some degree of success cold weather comes along and makes it almost too uncomfortable for the majority of followers of the rod and reel. The belief of experts in regard to fishing is that the striped bass or rockfish remain in the waters of the Bay and Potomac River all the year round. If such is the case there still is a chance that some brave disciple of Isaak Walton, who is not afraid of a little cold weather, may have a treat in store for him. There Is no doubt but that at this time of the vear all fish put up a gamer battle than they do during the Sum- mer months. When the water is extremely cold or frozen the fish con- gregate in groups and sort of hiber- nate. During the cold weather all sh, no matter what species, seek eep water and deep holes. It would be interesting to learn the results of a fishing trip to Chesa- peake Bay at this time. The fish are there, but, of course, they will only be found in deep water, and any one brave enough to venture forth at this time should go pre- pared with plenty of weight to get his line down near the bottom. As a matter of fact, the big rock or “sea horses,”” as they are sometimes called, are only found in deep water at all times of the year. And again the largest fish caught in the Bay are not hooked on this side, but on the Eastern Shore, where the water is_much deeper. While the water is reported clear in the upper Potomac it still is pretty badly discolored in the vicinity of Washington. A trip around the Tidal Basin and the lower Speed- way yesterday revealed this fact, and it will be several days yet be- fore it is sufficlently clear to fish for anything but catfish. The Hawes bill, passed at the last session of Congress to prevent the interstate .shipment of black bass, is not doing any good in so far as Wash- ington is concerned. There are many fish merchants in this city with plenty of bass for sale, and these fish are reported to have come from North Carolina. In that case the law is be- ing violated, because the shipment would have to come through the State of Virginia, and Virginia has a law against the shipment of bass. The merchants in Washington are not to blame for handling thess fish, for there is no law in the District of Columbia against selling black bass, but there surely should be, If bass are being shipped through Virginia there is certainly a way in which it can be stopped. If they are being shipped by water they have te enter Virginig territory before they reach the Potomac River, and, if they are shipped by rail they certainly have to come through Virginia. Quick Action Is Urged. This column respectfully calls the attention of the Virginia authorities to this matter and earnestly request that some immediate action be taken. It is not only that these game fish are being offered for sale in Washing- ton, but the size of some of them is a sad sight for anglers. Many of those being offered for sale in this city were aparently just 9 inches in length and looked even smaller. With the heads off these fish would hardly make & rheal for one person. It is a crime. The United States Government ex- pends thousands of dollars each year through the Bureau of Fisheries pro- viding bass and other species of fish to replant streams and ponds in every section of the country. There are some States which try to back up the efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries by law to help keep their streams pop- ulated with fish, but there are others who allow its citizens to capture these gamesters and sell them. These commercial fishermen who catch bass by the thousands are the first to cry for help from the Bureau of Fisheries when the streams do not give up their usual quota. Protection Is Essential. The seven seas are full of a great many different kinds of edible fish, many of which are just beginning to become known as a wonderful family food and, owing to the protection they receive by the wide areas of water they inhabit, are not apt to become extinct no matter how many of them are captured. But with the black bass it is a different proposition. This best known and highly prized Ameri- can fish can only be found in our fresh water streams where the com- mercial fishermen can use his nets and reap a harvest, especially at this time of the year when these fish commence to congregate or huddle for the Winter months. And to make matters worse, the fish are not separated, but the small ones and the big ones are taken, and those too small to sell are, in a great many cases, just thrown up on the banks and left to die. These fish are packed in barrels and shipped, the larger ones on top and the snialler ones underneath. Congress passed the Hawes bill at its last session, but it did not go half far enough in afferding the proper protection to these game fish, Con- gress did pass a law giving protection to certain migratory birds when it became known that these birds were fast becoming extinct, Befere it is too late Representative Hawes and the ethers members of Cengress who have the best interest of this game fish at heart should intreduce a bill to step all interstate shipment of bass and prehiblt their pale in every State. It is enly in this way that the bass will be saved. % ' RICHARDS TOPS NET RATINGS IN GOTHAM By the Associated Press. NEW_ YORK, December 6.—Vincent Richards, now a member of Charles C. Pyle's professional troupe, stands first among local amateur tennis play- ers for the 1926 season in the ranking of the Metropolitan Lawn Tennis As- soclation. Richards joined the professional ranks after completion of the amateur season of 1926, in which he defeated William T. Tilden, former national champion, in three out of four matches. Tnasmuch as several members of the Metropolitan ranking committee are members of the United States Lawn Tennis Association committees on ranking and _eligibility, it is gen- erally_ helieved that Richards will be accorded the same recognition when the national rankings are announced. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, win- ner of the women's national cham- plonship last season, heads the wom- en's list. N. L. CHIEFS OPPOSED T0 EARLIER CLOSING Br_the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 6.—Big chiefs of the National League will go to the joint meeting of the two major circuits in Chicago about ten days hence with a bouquet for Commission- er Landis in one hand and a toma- hawk in the other. Figuratively speaking, that is the situation as seen by John A. Heydler, president of the senior league, who forecasts a strong protest from own- ers against the commissioner's pro- posal to abbreviate the playing sea-|J& son. QAlt}muzh the league unanimously favors re-election of Landis to an- other seven-year term, his plan for closing the season on the last Sun- day in September would be ‘“‘unsatis- factory and unworkable,” says Hey- dler. Three non.playing Sunday teams, in the league would compel too many] Shaok double-headers, in the opinion of the | & National League president. Heydler agrees with Col. Jacob Rup- pert of the Yankees that a committee of three from each of the major cir- cults should be appointed to thresh out “points of friction between the two leagues.” “As things go now, the leagues are often at loggerheads just for want of proper understanding as to each other's wiewpoint,” explains Heydler. Basket Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. McConnell, Towa's all-conference guard, is an excellent shot from the floor. Invariably he uses a chest shot from the middle dis- tances he's so sure in scoring from, as there is far less chance of this shot being blocked by an opponent. All good shooters who use the chest shot first learn the form by continual practice from a standing position. Many use this method for foul shooting. The main things to bear in mind in making a basket in this way is to have the forward foot point di- rectly at the basket, with the rear (=] Front-Foot Points Basket " one parallel to it. At the start the player slightly bends his knees in order to equally distribute this weight. Some start the ball from the waist, as in Fig. 1. Others from a position chest high. The shot is made by bringing the hands up- ward and forward and letting go after the ball is over the head. The eyes are kept on the basket throughout with the hands point- ing toward it at the moment of de- livery, palms outward. Most play- ers follow through with a slight jump into the air in the line of the shot. Little English is attempted. Merely hold the ball in the fingers at the start with the palms point- ing toward each other. That gives the ball enough spin. Drop the ball from above into the basket.

In addition to toppling the Georgian negro from the middleweight peak, he dethroned Jack Britton, welterweight, and gained a newspaper verdict over Mike McTigue, while the latter held the light-heavyweight ctown. The heavyweight elimination scythe, which now has been swinging for sev- eral weeks in New York, has been sharpened for service again on Decem- ber 22, when Jim- Maloney of Boston matches smashes with Harry Persson, the Swedish contender.

This was the second time the Tro- jans have lost by a 13-to-12 score, and the second time that defeat has come because of failure in goal Kkicking. Parisien, passing with his left hand on two occassions, pulled the play over to the sidelines, paving the wav for the touchdown that spelled defeat for Howard Jones' men. Hoosiers Are Smarter. Notre Dame’s victory was due chief- ly to the fact that it was the smarter team. The Trojans were leading, 12 to 7, up to the last three minutes of play, and it must have been obvious to them that Notre Dame's only chance of scoring wul through forward passing. But they kept the backfield tight, looking for line attack and the South Bend eleven took advantage of this. The U. S. C. outfit showed a lot of power, but not only was their defensc against passing plays wretched, but they used little deception in their running plays—or at least little de- ception of a sort qualified to deceive. Notre Dame's rushing attack was much better covered. Yet. when all is said and done, the fact rémains that each eleven made two touchdowns and that the score ought to have been a tie, had it not been for the Trojan's characteristic slip-up in goal kicking. It anything were needed to com- plete the chain of testimony against the rule that necessitates the at- tempt to score a point after touch- down, this game at Los Angeles sup- plied it. Teams Well Matched. The two teams were evenly matched and the most that can be said of the Heavy counts were rolled by DI trict Bowling League teams in the first series of their champlonship schedule with the Government Print- ing Office quint establishing its right to first position by toppling the greatest pin total, 15,122, as well as scoring the greatest number of game victories. The Printers aver- aged 560-2 per game during the series, Convention Hall, in secand place at the end of the series, also had the second heaviest pin fall, but Curb Cafe with the third heaviest pin fall, finished the series seventh in stand- ing in the 10-team circuit.

Good punters must be able to do more than kick the ball high and far. Their greatest asset s to place it. When they have mastered placing the ball they are of great value. For example, when a team punts from near midfield it is far better for the kicker to drop the ball out-of-bounds around the op- ponents’ 5-yard line than to roll it over the opponents’ goallinpe. In the first case the opponents put it in play on their 5-yard line. In the second it's a touchback and they put it in play on their 20-yard line. Hence a punter who can kick the ball from midfield out-of-bounds on the opponents’ 5-vard line gains 15 yards for -his team. Punters should aim for the intersection of the 5-yard line and goal-line on this play. ‘When kicking from near one's goal-line the punter should bear in mind the need of placing the ball near a side-line—the one his team is nearest when it lines up. If they kick straight up the middle of the fleld a fair catch may give the op- ponents a free try for fleld goal. No use taking such a chance. Kick straight up the fleld if lined up near a sideline. Your team- mates can cover such a kick best | and usually throw the recaiver near a sideline, The weakest posi- tion for the attack. If such a punter kicks across to the other sideline the receiver has a far bet- ter chance to run it back as few men can cover a punt of this kind. ‘Watch the punters in the next game on these points. If the game is close the kicker who uses judg- ment in placing his punts will give his team a big advantage. (Copyright. 1926.) LEADS LYNCHBURG FIVE.

NAVY LISTS DAVIS ELKINS. ELKINS, W. Va., December 6 (#).— | Pai vk | PR Rserive: COAST GAME Notre Dame’s Victory Over Southern California by er Each Counts Twice, Is Called Concluding Evidence. way the contest worked out is that a decision was reached in an impor- tant intersectional foot ball game. But there are always two ways of regarding an argument of this sort there is the angle of the winning team and the viewpoint of the losing wleven, Notre Dame, thus, has no cause for discontent over the point after touchdown rule whereas Cali- fornia has plenty. No rule, of course, ever can deal with perfect balance as between two rivals; for there is always the team in whose behalf the rule is invoked and the one that must suffer. But in most of the stipulations con cerning gridiron play the team that suffers has received merited punish- - ment through some ini tion. In the case of the score following touchdown the penalty of a lost point falls to the eleven whose goalkicker either has not been as lucky or as skilful, as the case may be, in booting the ball across the bar. In any event, the team failing to gain the extra point is penalized pot through failure in that team effort which brought about the touchdown. but because of the inaccurate perform- ance of a kicking specialist. Would Abolish Kick. If the point after touchdown must remain then let it be scored by a running or forward pass play in which an entire team participates in the at- tempt to score and in which the de- fending team has a better chance to prevent the score than it has on a drop or placement Kkick. Now that Notre Dame has braved the mild California Winter climate, the Trojans next yeay must come north and endure Chicago's chill De cember weather. It will be interesting to see if they can adapt themselves to it as well as Notre Dame adapted herself to the warmer temperature of the golden coast.
