SPORTS.’ - g Southern Colleges Starting Grid Work : Father-Son Athletic Relationship Weak RELATED SPORTS TREND SEEN MORE IN BROTHERS Observation Gives No Assurance of Inheritance of Outstanding Ability on Field of Sport, But Fraternal Tendency Is Marked. VIRGINIA FOOT BALL MEN HOLDING WINTER DRILLS Other Squads Also Practicing, But Gridironers of y Will Wait Until March—C. U. Basketers Play Loyola Here Tonight. This Vicini BY H. C. BYRD. 1 INTER and Spring foot ball is getting under way in Southern universities and colleges. In the far South, where conditions at _thi time probably are more favorable to foot ball than in the Fall, squads have been practicing already, while closer | this way other squads are going out for their first workouts in a few days. | _So far as is known, University of Virginia is the only ‘institution in | this immediate section to begin grid- | iron work in the Winter. At a Char lottesville meeting some time ago 2 | men signified their intention to report for_three practices each week Down around Georgia and South Carolina the various squads plan to begin work about this time in order to get in a full six weeks of practice and quit about March 1. Last year this plan was followed generally in that section and worked out so well that the same thing will be done this year. Around Washington it is unlikely that any of the foot ball squads will be able to take the field before March 1, as weather conditions make it prac- | tically impossible to do so. It is prob. | able, though, that the Naval Academy Georgetown, Maryland, Catholic U. and George Washington will have their squads out for six or seven weeks, running from around the first week in March until the middle or ]Alltr part of April. When Spring foot ball first was be- Eun it aroused considerable adverse comment, but it seems to have weath- ered the storm. About the only trouble now encountered arises from the desire of foot ball coaches to have &ll their men out for Spring practice and this runs contrary to the desire of coaches of Spring sports who want some of the foot ball men for other branches of athletics in which they excel. p This seems to have been worked out at most places in a fairly satis- factory way by having the foot ball men who have made regular places on the varsity in base ball, track, or some other Spring sport excused from foot ball and keeping all others out for foot ball. Loyola College plays basket ball at Catholic University tonight and a good contest should result. The Balti- moreans have a strong quint, and are expected to be foeman worthy of the steel of the Brooklanders. The game is to bezin at 8:30. Dick Harlow, who turned out such & good foot ball team at Western Mary- land College last year, also is an ex- | of its brutality | cellent boxing coach. Whether he will have a squad of hoxers to represent the Green and Gold is not Harlow generally is regarded as one of the best coaches of boxing squads n the East One of the rather strange things about this proposition of box ing in the colleges is that not only is the sport growing, but it is being ad vocated and supported by some peo- ple. who are against foot ball because With Georgetown announcing it will have a boxing team, and with | Catholic University already in the field, it seems that George Washing- ton ‘and Maryland are the only two institutions of any size in the whole South Atlantic section that are not vepresented in the squared ring When these two will succumb to the | lure is a question, but in one of them | there is a decided opposition to box ing as a form of intercollegiate com petition College hoxing seems to be exceed ingly popular in places where there known. | | COLLEGE BASKET BALL.

NEW YORK, January 19.—The “big four” of American polo, hitherto supreme in the sport, are just the “big two" today five men Mang ranked on an even footing with J Watson Webb and Malcolm Steven- son. two of the quartet. Tommy Hitchcock and Devereux Milburn remain the only 10-goal men in the country, but the rating of are no professional bouts. Here in | Washington an admission charge to| boxing touts is prohibited, and the | rather unusual situation is developed | whereby the colleges have turned to | a form of competition on which the | police have their thumbs down. | | Burton Shipley, coach of basket ball at Maryland, has tried a good many combinations this Winter in an effort to satisfy himself as to the best team he could put on the floor, but seems to have arrived at the con clusion that Faber and Dean, guards; Adams, center, and Linkous and Boyd, forwards, form about his best bet. Four of these, Adams, Boyd, Dean and Faber, are fcrmer Washington high school play Adams and Bovd from Tech, Faber from Eastern and Dean from Central However, these five men need not think their places entirely won, as a regular in Shipley's mind does not mean so much. He always tries to develop some good reserve material, and sometimes the regulars do not know whether they are the regulars er_reserves. Boyd and Faber, though, may not be able to start against Washington College Friday or against Georgia on Saturday in the big games to be play- ed at College Park. Boyd suffered an injured leg in the Navy game and it is not responding to treatment, while Faber has been bothered with a bad cold that he has been unable to shake. Neither he nor Boyd took part in the crimmage session yesterday.

LEADERS AT HOCKEY GIVEN A BAD BEATING By the Associated Press, “W YORK, January 19.—The Pittsburgh Pirates, unleashing a ter- rific attack, swept aside the league- dominating Ottawa Senators, 6 to 1, in the National Héckey circuit last night. Punishing combination play brought about Ottawa’s third defeat of the season Although the Boston Brui: swamped the New York Rangers, to 3, to gain second place in the stand- ing, close uphill struggles marked the other two contests. The gallant bid of the Detroit Cougars, who twice came from behind to tie the Cana dians, faded to the short end of a 5- to-3 count in the final period. New York Americans’ single-goal lead was not enough when the Mont- real Maroons flashed to tie in the third session and win out 2 to 1 in eight minutes of overtime. 0SBORNE HAS FIVE FOES IN HIGH-JUMPING EVENT NEW YORK, January 19 (®).— Harold M. Osborne of Chicago, world high-jump record holder, will face five well known rivals in his favorite event at the annual Millrose A.

A., former intercollegiate champio: Palmer J. Wright of Columbia and Justin Rus- gsmon Position At Shot \ /AtRebound BY SOL METZGER. Defensive guards can rarely take the ball from an opponent who faces them in front of the basket, say 20 feet away. That is also a long distance from which to shoot accurately, especially when blocked by a guard. Westergren, Oregon’s great guard, worked a very effec- tive stunt in a situation of this kind that resulted in his getting the ball. A guard who can do that these days is a corker, as the best most of them can attain is a held ball. Westergren will stop the ad- vancing forward, set his feet well apart and feint him into shooting rather than passing to a teammate, as shown in the upper illustration. Good guards can force an oppo- nent to shoot or pass, according to their feints. g As soon as the opponent shoots, Westergren breaks to the side to- ward the basket so that the oppo- nent will be behind him ‘when the ball rebounds. In this way he makes sure of getting the ball on the rebound right under the oppo- nent's basket. That is the most effective defense possible, as it re- | moves all chance of the opponent’s having another crack at the basket from the court. (Covyright. 1927.) ‘ SCHEDULES ARE NAMED | FOR ST.

'HIGH SCHOOL HILE it is not known wheth er advisory marks that have not heen announced will mean the loss of any playvers to public high | school basket ball teams, none except | Tech will be affected by mid-vear | graduations.

Facing virtual elimination from championship consideration if they howed to Central, Coach Charley Guyon's boys put up a great fight and wera nosed out only in the dying moments of a stirring struggle. The | Blue and White were topping the Lin- coln Parkers, 10 to 1, at the quarter, and while Eastern had cut its rival's advantage to 13 to 6 at the half, it was not until the final half, especially the last quarter, that Guyon's proteges made their most valiant stand. Led by Capt. Cy Hogarth, Eastern came to life with a bang and flashed a game that surprised everybody, in- cluding Coach Bert Coggins' Central combination. With the whole team do- ing just about everything a good court team should do, Eastern had fought its way to within a single point of Central at 17 to 16 at the end of the third period. The Lincoln Parkers, battling grimly, fought the Blue and White on even terms for the re- mainder of the tilt, and at times held a slight advantage as the game neared its end. During this exciting period Capt. Warren Swift and Capt. Cy Hogarth were banished because of personal fouls. Swift was waved to the sidelines just after Pete Nee had put Central one point ahead on a foul toss, and Hogarth was given the high sign a few moments later, a bit after he had rung a court goal to bring his team’s total to 23, just one less than Central’s. With Hogarth out, Central held the Lincoln Parkers for the few moments remaining, during which _Forrest Burgess cashed a foul for Central's final point. Incidentally, it was| Burgess whose basket sharpshooting doubtless saved the Central cause. Time and again he found the cords to keep his sorely pressed team in the fight. Western was vanquish Tech. both not extended to It was 14 minutes after the start of the game before the Manual Trainers counted their first goal from court, and although they ~fought gamely they never seriously threatened.

Inde- pendent league series are in full swing throughout the city, and most of the high school and seminary | squads are organized preparatory to the playing off of scholastic cham- pionships. Western High School basketers have elected captains and managers for their class aggregations and have organized three groups in each of the four classes for the annual triple series. The class squads are known as First, Second and Third teams, and are rated according to their relative experience and ability. The four firsts will play off for first tesm honors, the seconds for the second team title and the thirds for third team honors. The winning class squad in each series will earn two points toward the interclass athletic trophy, which is awarded in June to the class having made the most im- pressive showing in all athletic activities during the year. Nancy Matthews and Margaret Rupli have been elected general Katherine is freshman captain, Marian sophomore; Alethea Lawton, , and Lillian Lindquist, senior. The schedule opens Wednesday, February with the Senior Thirds meeting the Freshman Thirds and the Freshmen Thirds and the Junfor Thirds facing the Sopohmore Thirds. The teams are being coached by Belle Méyers and Mrs. Annie Trenis, who has recently come to Western from Tech High School, where she was in charge of the physical train- ing department for several years. According to Miss Meyers, imme- diately following the basket ball series an honorary school squad will be picked from the ranks of the 12 teams. The committee which will select this squad will include the general managers, captains and the athletic directors. Those chosen will receive major letters.

OR one scientific reason or an. | To revert does to fathers indeed seem and sons, it to be seldom that other, the Carnegie Founda-|a boy carries on the fame of a great tion is collecting information concerning the run of related blood in athletics. The Car- negle folk seek to know how many brothers have been excellent in ath letic pursuits, and how many sons of athletes have carried on the prestige of their sires So far as casual observation goes, it would seem that there is no assur ance of the inheritance of outstanding ability on the field of sport, and nei- ther is there any warrant for the theory that hecause one young man is a great athlete his brother should also be endowed with marked ability. On the other hand, there have been a few instances of transmitted ath- letic_ability, and numerous cases of brothers who have stood out in sport may be cited. When the Carnegle in- vestigators have all findings in hand something interesting of a definite nature may be adduced. In any event they will be 'n possession of a mass of interesting, if not construc tive facts. While this work is going on, it Is perhaps not out of order to consider the matter in this column. In the past foot ball season the name of Jeff Rosengarten, the fine ! Princeton tackle, was prominent at least in the Big Three. Rosangarten's father played foot ball for Princeton in the 90s. It may not be said that the son outshone the father, or vice versa. Both were workmanlike players. The previous vear Frank Lea played a great game at end_for Princeton. _His father was Biffy (Langdon) Lea, one of the great tackles of all time. Had the younger Lea remained in college his fame would have been equally great. Sons Failed to Shine. On the Yale team there played oc- casionally this season a youth named Hickok. Yale guard, Orville Hickok. So far the son has not measured up to him In the Pennsylvania backfield was Kreuz, a fine back, and his brother, not so good as the Quaker star, played last season on the Wisconsin team K As to father and son, it is interest- ing to note that none of the Poes of the present generation have won laurels such as the Poes of the 30s and 90s earned at Princeton; nor have any of the Riggs children matched their sires. Frank Butterworth, the great Yale fullback of the early 90s, had a son graduated at Yale last year, who never became a regular. Walter Camp’s son made the Elf varsity, but was never the star his father was. Foster Sanford's son is a crack pitcher at Pennsylvania, but does not shine at all in foot ball. Many Brother Stars. ‘There are many more instances of brothers attaining stardom in sports than of sons. On the other hand, plenty of sons have shone in athletics v\i!l\ole fathers were not athletes at al Of brothers who have excelled in sports a long list might be complled, including the De Saulles brothers at Yale, Tim and Mike Callahan at Yale and Princeton respectively, the Storck brothers, the Devines in Iowa, the Geer boys at Princeton, the five Poe and three Riggs brothers at Prince- ton, the Hinkeys and Chadwicks and Philbins and Blisses at Yale, and s0_on. In boxing, the best known brother angle is found in St. Paul, where Tom and Mike Gibbons were both out- standing. Then there were the two Shade boys of California, the Delmont brothers and the Downeys. In base ball, Irish and Bob Meusel, Doc and Jimmy Johnson, the Dele- hantys, the Coveleskies and the Barnes boys are the brother stars who come to mind. In wrestling are found only Weadek and Stanislaus Zbyszko, both of whom were champions of the world. In tennis brothers, the Kin- says, Wrights, Larneds and Dohertys may be mentioned. {ences forthwith becoma his His father was the great | father. Young Jake Schaefer has done it in billiards, but in boxing Young Bob Fitzsimmons has woefully failed to fill his father's shoes, and the older colleges and universities contain many a son of men famoug on fleld, track and stream who are not even engaged in the sports in which their parents were so signally suce cessful Zuppke Is Entertainer. When the Illinois foot ball eleven | completes its schedule of games and the players have hung up their moles #kins, so called, and have started to dig into their studies, alumnt still have gomething to which to look forward., They have the thrilling prospect of Robert Zuppke, the coach, facing them from the speaker's platform at Winter banquets Zuppke's post-prandial pyrotechnics are as titillating as any touchdown dash that Red ange ever made. When he warms up to his subject and gets to hitting on all six his audié reatures, to be moved to laughter, dissolved into tears, harried into flerce enthusiasm, as his mood or fancy dictates. They say that a Zuppe speech hag never been printed in full or even im good part. He never prepares his orae torical flights ahead of time and no stenographer can keep pace with his machine-gun fire of wit, sarcasm, ridie cule, humor and philosophy. What can be done to catch winged sentences here and there, as it were; on ‘the fly, a game well worth the candle because Zuppke in his speechegq says many things that deserve not td perish upon the tympanums of hig auditors. Few of His Thoughts. Here are a few plumed thoughtq netted at the recent Illinois dinner at Chicago just before Zuppke left for California: ! “The alm of our university should be the unfolding of personality.” . “Opportunities which make men strive to excel must be created.” “Because of the need for more opt portunities than the curricula proe vide, extra-curricular activities have been devised.” Because play is a natural expres slon of the growing body, athletics hag become the most important extra-cum “‘Sportsmanship helps to level the rough spots in the path of life, buf sportsmanship must be practiced, not merely talked about.” ¥ “Most of our university courseq teach the theory of life, while some of our extra-curricular activities intros duce the human element and thug lize the practice of life “The tremendous interest so appam ent in our modern foot ball game if based on the human instinct of self preservation.” “An ideal image of self-preservatiod is a clean ,healthy battling hero, and because of that hero urge, which theories can erase, the foot ball i becames the temporary idol of thi masses.” st “But athletics, like life, is not an ufy mixed biessing.” —_— HAWKINS CO.
