SPORTS. Two College Basket Ball Games Here Tonight : Dundee Regains P COLLEGE BASKET BALL. | CENTRAL LEADS LEAGUE GEORGETOWN, AMERICAN U. WILL MEET STRONG FOES Hilltoppers Play Mount St. Mary’s, While Methodist, Defeated, 34 to 22, by Catholic U. Last Night, Entertain Lynchburg College. WO collegiate basket ball games that should provide real com- petition will be staged here to night American University, which ) last night at Brookland by or Catholic University quint, will enterta:n the Lynchburg five on Massichusetts Avenua iill, while Georgetown will play host to the fast-traveling Mount St. Mary's basketers. - Both contests will start about § vclock. American University, which doubt. less had something taken out of it in the strenuous game at Brookland, is eertain to find the going hard against the Lynchburgers, who have made a fine showing in three contesis in this section. Wednesday the Virginians lost to Georgetown, 21 to 18: Thurs- day they defeated George Washing- ton, 23 to 22, and last night in Bal timore they were noscd out by Loyola, 34 to 33, after 1 8 8, in the first half. This probably was due to the playing a trio of tough games in succession, and it may be that the Lynchburg tossers will have still less lasting power tonight. Since the work done elsewhere by the Lynchburg team, the showing made by Georgetown against the Vir- ginians, not so highly regarded at the time, has grown to be rather im- pressive. However, the Hilltoppers will be meeting much stronger oppo- sition tonight. In fact, it is said that the Mount St. Mary's five is the strongest in the history of the game at the Emmitsburg institution. Ryan Gym should be the scene of a hot battle. While American U. and Georgetown will be the hosts in home battles, two other Capital teams will be guests in out-of-town ck es. This afternoon Maryland and Gallaudet tossers are at Annapolis for games with Navy and St. John's, respectively. Mary- ’and, which has not shown the power of last season, is seen as another Navy victim, but Gallaudet, with the best five in years, is favored to down the Johnnies. Maryland also has been hard hit by the absence of Faber, who has been on the side lines with a severe cold. There is a slight chance that he may get into the game today, but it would be only for a short time, as he is not in condition. Faber is the only regular of last season's team on the squad, and his loss for the clash with the Middies is a real blow. It was an interesting and hard- fought game that Catholic University rom American U. last night, al- the Brooklanders’ tmumph sive and they had the upper the start. C. U. simply had more good basket bhall players than did American U.. though the latter in Banta had a performer who made Foley, Brooklanders' ace, look to his laurels. Foley, though, was “right” last nigh(, and his 7 goals from tioor and 2 from the foul line, for a total of 16 points, were just about the big dif- ference between the combinations. His floor work also was up to his usual high standard, but he had a real match in Banta, who seemed to be everywhere, and who totaled 10! points. Banta “covered” Long, the C. deadshot, most of the time, and w ho was doing so the Brooklander fail ed to score. Banta for a while trailed to hold the C. U point i Long got rang up two floor goals < order following the opening whistle and kept in front to the fin- ish, although on two occasions in the first half the Methodists ot within a couple points of the victors. When the intermission gong sounded, the Brooklanders led 19 to 10 and it was apparent that it was all over but the shouting. C. U. had a fiveman team, while there was one real weak spot in the A. U. aggregation, and the Brookland- ers did not fail to'take full advantage of it. University of Maryland Freshmen, with former Washington schoolboy stars leading the attack, routed For est Park High hasketers of Baltimore yesterday in Ritchie Gymnasium, at College Park, by 43 t. Madigan and Radice, erstwhile Eastern High cracks, and Evans, late Business stal- wart, accounted for all but two of the 0Old Line cubs’ points. Rosenthal star- red for the visitors. With Dunn, Hannon and Dutton as their big guns, Georgetown Freshmen courtmen buried American University Reserves, 84 to 17, yesterday in the Methodists’ gym. Catholic University did not get all the glory last night on the Brookland court, as the Cardina! yearling tossers were defeated in the preliminary to the A. U.-C. U. game by Devitt, 17 to 12. Moyna, for Devitt, and Champa "or the Freshmen, were chief point-get ers.

AFTER BEATING BUSINESS Easy Winner Over Stenogs, Blue and White Quintet Looms as Favorite in Race for Public High School Basket Ball Championship.- ENTRAL teday looms as a de- cided favorite to win the pub- lic _high school basket ball championship series. Playing a smart game, the Blue and White yesterday vanquished Business, > to 16, to take undisputed posses- sion of first place ,in the race, with three wins in as many starts. Central displayed superior team- work and speed to upset the heavier Stenograpt -r team. Bert Coggins' boys counted many points by follow- ing the ball in fine style. On the other hand, Business was unable to pene- trate the Central defense consistently virtually all its tries for baskets from court being from long range.

Time of Forrest Burgess, sensational little Central forward, who again led the Blue and White's drive on the cords, is well ahead at individual scoring in the title series. .In three games Bur- gess has caged 14 fleld goals and 4 fouls for a total of 32 points. Pete Nee, the other Central forward, is hard on the heels of Burgess. He has scored 9 goals from scrimmage and made good 8 times from the foul line for an aggregate of 26 points. Cy Hogarth, Eastern captain, however, has a record superior to that of Nee as he has accounted for 23 points in only two games. The Lincoln Park- er's pilot has scored 8 goals from court and tossed 7 from the foul line. Other high scorers thus far include Bernard Jones, Dick Keefer and Tony Stewart of Business; Berger of Tech, and Bob Wilson of Western.

ROSS IS MADE FAVORITE IN SWIMMING MARATHON NEY YORK, January 15 (®).— New York betting commissioners today made Norman Ross of Chicago a favorite in the Catalina Island marathon swim, rating his chances against the fleld and the tides at 1 to 3. Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., and Mrs. Mille Gade Coroson of New York, first mother to swim the English Channel, were con- sidered 1 to 4 choices, while Mrs. Lottle Schoemmel and Charles Toth of Boston came next at 1 to 5.

CHICAGO, January 15.—Michigan today rests in Iowa's place in the trip! tie for Western Conference basket ball leadership, the Hawkeyes having lost, 41 to 22, last night be- fore their fleld house dedicatory crowd. Illinols, one of the trio at the top, risks its undefeated standing tonight in a trip to Ohio State. Without a Blg Ten victory yet in two games, the Buckeyes still are regarded as danger ous, since thefr preconference sea- son netted five victories. | Indiana, the third team with two victories and no defeats, does not play until Monday,when it meets North- western. Besides the Illinois-Ohlo fracas at Columbus tonight there are games be- tween Wisconsin and Northwestern at Evanston and Minnesota and Pur- due at Lafayette. Two of the teams in these matches have yet to win a conference game, Northwestern hav- ing lost two and Minnesota three. Purdue and Wisconsin are in the middle of the Big Ten standings, with a_ victory and a defeat each. Coach Meanwell of Wisconsin, despite his opening game defeat by Indiana, be- lieves his combination the class of the conference. Purdue was one of the four which tied for the conference basket ball title last year, but lost many stars by graduation. NORTHWESTERN MAY ~ NAME COACH TODAY By the Associated Pre CHICAGO, January 15.—Five well known coaches have been fMentioned prominently for the Northwestern University gridiron posts of Glenn Thistlethwaite, who was drawn.away by Wisconsin after he had led the Purple to a Big Ten championship. A selection was expected today, with Ralph Jones of Lake Forest Academy, a former’ Big Ten mentor, | apparently leading in the favor of | students and alumni. Jones coached | successful basket -ball teams at Wabash and Purdue, and then in 1916 became freshman foot ball and base ball coach at Illinois. Gwynne Henry, winner of several Missouri Valley foot ball titles at Missouri; Wallace Wade, Brown grad- uate, whose Alabama _warriors tied Stanford, 77, on New Year day; Paul Schissler, Nebraska star, now coach- ing the .

During the re- mainder of the battle was_out- boxed and outsmarted by the Balti- morean, who cut his rival about the nose and mouth and had him reeling near the end of the contest. The bell apparently saved the Tacoma fighter from a knockout in the eighth. Ringside critics expressed the be- lief that Roberts had beeli weakened by making the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.

Probably the reason a good many boys don’t come to be star boxers ls because they neglect to educate their feet as well as their hands. A good boxer uses “all fours’—and his head, too You've read about the educated toe in fot ball. Well, it's just as impor- tant to have an educated toe, or toes, in boxing. T say toes because a hoxer must be on his toes and not flat-footed. The first point to learn in hoxing is to stand right. The left foot must be forward, Then the left hand s neld out. This is the first lesson in boxing. Practice it over and over and put some pep in the exercise. The left foot is forward and the right foot is back at an angle. The left foot points to your opponent. The right foot points out. The left glove points to your oppo- nent’s chin. The right is back, cover- ing the short ribs. Rest your weight on_the left foot. Now try the left jab. You're in position for it. Slide forward on the left foot and put some force into the left glove—make it a stiffening jolt. Then the right glove comes up to cover the face in case of a return blow. This is the first blow of boxing. But remember before you can use your hands with good results you must first learn to use your feet. You don’t need an opponent for practice. Shadow boxing is the best practice for footwork. The Coening Star BOYS CLUB PRO COURT LEAGUE. Standing of Teams. . Lost. Rt ol 3 g ORISR Cleveland ..
