sP Lacrosse May Be M MARYLAND W( D. C. SCHOLASTIC Truitt, College Park Coach, Believes Game Would Prove Popular Here—Georgetown Basketers Face Formidable Foe in Navy BY H. C. BYRD. N attempt probably will be made this Spring to get lacrosse started as an_interseholastic sport in one of the Washing- ton high schools. University of Maryland, aided by one of the large gports goods concerns, is responsible for initiating the move, and plans to furnish equipment for a complete 2, including sticks, to one of the local | high schools that may think it worth while to develop lacrosse. Prof. R. V. Truitt, who is responsible almost solely for the fine development of lacrosse at Maryland, is anxious to have lacrosse introduced into Wash- ington high schools and believes that If one of the schools turns out a team the others soon will follow. According to Prof. Truitt, it will not take long for the other schools to recognize the value of the sport, both from its com- petitive and educational aspec “Lacrosse is played in the Baltimore high schools,” vs Prof. Truitt, “and Is played well. Teams are turned out each year that really are more at- tractive than the base ball or track teams, and greater attention is given to lacrosse than to the other Spring soorts. Colleges and high schools that have introduced lacrosse alike feel that it is only a question of time be- fore it will take the place as the most fmportant of Spring sports. In fact, it is my personal opinion that the main college and high school sports of the future will be foot ball, basket ball and lacrosse, each following in its respective season.” Either Eastern or Central, it seems, should be the high school in which to begin lacrosse, mainly because each ROD AND BY PERRY MILLER— On January 14 Senator Hawes of Missouri introduced a bill to regulate the sale of black bass in the District of Columbia. The bill was read twice and referred to the committee on the District of Columbia. The bill reads as follows: “Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the word ‘per<on’ when used in this act shall include any company, partnership, corpora- tion or on. “It shall be unlawful for any per- son to offer for sale or to sell within the District of Columbia either large- mouth or small-mouth black bass. “Any person violating the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction thereon, be punished by a fine not exceeding $100, or by imprisonment for a term of not more than three months, or by both, such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the rt. ‘”‘?Thls act shall become effective im- mediately - upon its passage and ap- proval. Several weeks ago the necessity for such a bill was told to Senator Hawes. It was explained to him that hundreds of bass, under legal size, were being offered for sale in Wash- Ington; that practically all bass were being shipped into the city through Virginia, violating the laws of that State; that some of the bass were shipped from North Carolina, but that & large percentage of them were netted in Virginia waters. Senator Hawes immediately took steps to have a bill drafted to correct fhe local situation and called on Com- missioner Henry L. O'Malley, fish commissioner of the United States, to learn his views on the matter. The result was the above bill was drafted luced. “.ge:;tt!:f Hawes is one of the men who know that unless some legisla- tion is. enacted to stop the Whulmn‘.le slaughter of these game fish they will soon become extinct. The anglers, not only of Washington, but of the country, have mo better friend than this Senator. It was through his ef- rans) on of ‘\?1:: e at the last session of Con; % ler, and there are legions ofL(;n:lra: § the District of Columbia, should get behind this bill and do all r to have 1(“pmdk 2}‘:;, e. The Izaak Walton Cl - ranly % Potomac Anglers Asso- ciation succeeded in having a bill in- troduced in the House several weeks ago to lengthen the closed season for bass. This bill was referred to {he District committee and was a step in the right direction. Senator Hawes hill will kill with one blow all the evils that have surrounded the bass family in the District for years past. Representative Joe J. Manlove of Missouri, after a conference with Sen- etor Hawes, introduced his (Hawes’) Vill in the House last Frida Rep- yesentative Fred N. Zihlman of Mar; Jand, chairman of the House District sommittee, said he would do all in his power to have it reported favorably and did not anticlpate any opposition. Benator Hawes' bill will be substi- tuted for the bill to lengthen the closed season for bass. As the Dis- trict Commissioners approved the former bill providing for a longer closed season, it is not thought there Will be any opposition to the one pro- %.ibiting the sale of bass. v he bass season opens next Fp‘r‘lrl;:na'nglern will have many of se gamesters waiting for a lure in | "Maal Basin.

In | this manner a fund can be raised to replace all fish caught during the fish t big. | difference. | Ir ORTS. OULD EQUIP TWELVE has a good man in that sport. East- ern has Charley Guyon, who was a star lacrosse man at Carlisle, and ntral has Bert Coggins, who was sne of the best men developed at Mary- land before the war. It will be interesting to note wha* comes of the effort to build up lacrosse here. Virginia, Navy, Johns Hopkins and Maryland are the only college teams in this section, but several of the hirh schools of Baitimore are playing. Tt may be that lacrosse also will find its way to a good future in Washington. Georgetown's basket ball team has vet to be defeated, but it will have its troubles when it journeys to Annapolis Saturday afternoon. The Navy not only has a good team, but it will be on _its own floor, which makes a real ¢y on its home floor beat Pennsylvania, but when Navy went to Philadelphia it lost to Penn- sylvania rather decisively. ~George- town may win from the Midshipmen, but the chances are all in favor of Navy. ! The only other basket ball game here this week is that between Gallau det and Maryland at College Park Saturday. The Kendall Greeners are figuring on giving the Old Line five a battle worth while, and have hope they will be able to get away with the long end of the score. Western Maryland College, under Dick Harlow, former foot ball and boxing coach at COolgate, has intro- duced boxing as one of its collegiate sports. It is now trying to arrange an abbreviated schedule. STREAM column s in favor of a small fee, aven 25 cents a day for this privilege, or an annual fishing license of about $2. . Those who are interested are requested to write to Col. Grant ex- pressing their views. It has also been suggested that boys and girls under 16 years of age be allowed to fish in the Basin free. Of course, there will have to be a bag limit of five fish to each angler. This means that a person can go to the Basin and catch five bass, five crappie, five sunfish and five of any other kind of fish that happen to be in the waters. If two anglers visit the basin and return with their bag limit, say 10 bass, they have all the fish they can possibly use for home consumption. During the month of December hundreds of bass weigh ing in the neighborhood of 3 and 4 pounds were planted. Another feature which will be added to facilitate matters for the anglers is a live-box where fisher- men can secure smelt and other bait. A story of the work done in secur- ing the bass for the Basin has been written by the moving picture camera. Under the direction of Maj. Harry S. Kimberly shots of the men in the lower Potomac catching the bass, placing them in the containers of the Bureau of Fisheries and load- ing the containers on trucks for transporting them to the Basin, and emptying the cans in the Basin have been taken. When the reel is com- plete it will be shown by Maj. Kibberly first at a private exhibi- tion and then offered to the local moving picture houses as one of their news reel features.

CHICAGO, January 26.—A new candidate for the foot ball coaching job Glenn Thistlethwaite left at Northwestern University entered the lists today as Dr. Clarence W. Spears, 8rid mentor at Minnesota, came here to confer with Kenneth L. Wilson, director of athletics at Northwestern Before leaving Minneapolis last night Dr. Spears was quoted as say- ing he would consider a “satisfactory offer” to guide the gridiron destinies of the school which last season tfed Michigan for the Big Ten cham- plonship, Dr. Spears indicated in a telephone conversation with the Chicago Tri- bune last night that while he would entertain an offer from Northwestern he would give Minnesota an equal chance for his services. Spears had a_successful season at Minnesota in 1926, although il a large part of the time. It is under- stood that his contract with the school has expired. Spears' name is the latest of prominent foot ball figures mentioned in connection with the position Thistlethwaite left to go to Wiscon- sin as coach., Gwynne Henry of Mis- souri {8 another who has been re- ported under consideration, with half a dozen others.

Central now has won five games in as many starts and has only three more to play. The West End boys held the advan- tage at the end of the first period, but Central lashed out with an attack in the second half that netted them 20 points while their rivals were gather- ing only 7, and that gave the Coggins- coached combination a 24-to-12 edge at the half. In the final half Western outscored Central by a good margin and several times came within a few points of tying the count. Central, however, nanaged to stay out in front all the way. Teamwork and dazzling sharpshoot- ing on the part of Forrest Burgess and Willlam Crouch were high spots in the triumph of the Blue and White. The clever passing game of Central was employed with maximum effi- clency for the most part. A splendid defensive exhibition also was given by the Blue and White, and had it not been for the unerring aim of Bob Wilson, Sam Coombs and other Western players, who made a number of “pot” shots, Central's advantage at the close would have been much larger. Tech showed a much improved quint as the doughty little Manual Trainers crushed the much heavier Business team, 27 to 18. It was the first vic- tory of the series for Tech. From the outset the Manual Trainers held the advantage, although Business came within a point of tying the score at the half, at 13 to 12, and threatened at_other stages. Louis Berger was the shining star of Tech, although he was ably sup- ported by Gaiotta, Capt. Terneak and Weigel, all or whom showed strongly. Capt. Charley May was best for Busi- ness. SCORES. Tech.

From 1908 through 1915 when a Penn team lost the ball out-of-bounds under their basket on attack, like every team in tne country, they would deploy themselves so that every man covered an opponent. Before the season of 1916, Penn’s coach, Lon Jourdet, arranged a practice game with a Philadelphia profes- sional outfit, one of its stars being the late Joe Fogarty, later Yale's basket ball coach. The pros ran wild against the Quakers. Jourdet became disgusted. Time was called. His men were “all in.” The sug- gestion was made that Penn prac- tice defense thereafter. Without realizing what he was doing, Jour- det strung his men out across the court in_ u single file about the middle. From that moment on the pros were stopped. Jourdet real- ized he had hit on something. That season Penn used the new five- man defense in its league games and emerged with the title. Against Princeton the defense shown in the lower panel was used on an out-of- bounds play. This was the first use of the five- man defense in basket ball, the eral weeks is scheduled for the Mu- tua) Theater Friday night. Jack Collins and George Taylor will meet in a bout to start at 10:30 g‘clock. style of defense that is universally practiced today, usually in a two- line formation. (Copyright. 1927.) 9 Walker, r&..

Sporting a 4-to-0 vic- tory over Park View yesterday in the final game of an extended series, Peabody stands above the other pub- lic grade school soccer teams. Although the first 10 minutes of the game yesterday on the Plaza Play- ground found Park View furnishing strong opposition, Peabody started scoring, when Trotter passed to Bi- { anca. Anderson added another counter | for Peabody just before the close of | the half, running the ball from mid- | fleld. | Then Park View started its attack, | with Reichman leading. This lad car- ried the ball to within 15 yards of the Peabody goal, but Thomason missed the Kick. ans, the Peabody goalie, who played brilliantly through- out the game, blocked and kicked the sphere far up where Bianco passed to Camper, who crashed the ball through the Park View goal. A short time later Blanco scored his second goal. Bianco, Camper and Anderson starred for the victors, while Thoma- son, Beck and Foresta teamed ad- mirably for Park View.

On the other hand, they have the feeling that whether he did or not, he and his cause and the medium in which it was set forth have had all necessary publicity. They wish to do nothing that would add to ft. But this is a fact: A long.search of Boston by the writter failed to unearth a single responsible Harvard man who believed that Princeton teams were coached to play foul foot ball. Men were found who freely stated that an occasiona eleven had come out of a Princeton game in a more battered condition than one would ordinarily expect. But In mentloning this a former Harvard player, who stands, inci- dentally, among the best known foot ball men at Cambridge, added that Harvard-Princeton games have never been ordinary games. Tigers Lashed to Fury. “This,” he went on, “is because Harvard has had the unfortunate faculty of spotting Princeton teams a condition of exaggerated psychology warranted to cause any bunch of foot ball players to tackle and block and conduct themselves generally with that extra-super human touch, which all coaches would like to develop in their players. g “One game, I remember Lothrop WVithington made a speech at a "rlncetun pre-game smoker in Boston in which he carelessly gave the im- pression that the Tigers were to be dropped after the contest. ‘““Another time, on the eve of this game stories were circulated that all Harvard players were to wear nose guards the next day, together with other rumors qualified to make oppo- nents see red. Still, again, came the Harvard Lampoon’s Princeton num- ber, which the Tiger players were permitted to read in the dressing room before the game. And so it has_gone. “Really, when you come to think of it, Bob Fisher and Arnold Horween have not had a chance to bring the competitive psychology of their play- ers up to the notch to which Harvard Harvard | TIGERS LASHED INTO FURY - BY CRIMSON PROPAGANDA Former Cambridge Player Thinks Mistaken Efforts of Partisans Made Games Fierce, But Knows of No Planned N assau Roughness. tisans through their own mistaken s have lashed Princetonians. | “I have not the slightest doubt that | the Harvard hes would have been | willing to give $5,000 to any Princeton | man who would have done as much Of course, in view of Princeton teams have gone me with extra drive and rength and ferocity.

Yale won the game, 58 to 0, whereas in midseason Ha d had expected to clean up the Elis. But, as a Har vard man said to the writer in speak- ing of that game between the Har- vard and Princeton cubs, the fact that one team came out of a game bat- tered by another does not indicate that the battering was foul assault. At any rate, the bitterness then gen- erated seems to have carried through the college generation. Officially, Harvard's lips are tightly sealed, not only over the Hubbard matter but aBout Princeton generally. It is known, however, that in certain Harvard quarters there is some feel- ing about the manner of Princeton's breaking off relations. Harvard au- thorities, it is stated, were first made aware of it by reading the news. papers, the letters from Princeton coming later. There seems to be the feeling that a conference might have prevented all the hectic affairs that characterized the break and subse- quent events, There seems, also, to have been a feeling that Bill Roper and Tad Jones should have approached Harvard with their non-scouting agreement. Har- vard, it is said, would have been glad to join in the arrangement. In fact, all along the line there i§ a tangle of missunderstanding. Somer - of the older alumni up here feel Har- vard and Princeton may reunite when the present undergraduate generation has passed out. (Covyright. 1927.) MAHAN, HARVARD, DEFENDS ROPER AND TIGER GRIDMEN By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 26.—“If Har- vard would do less crying and more hard playing it would not only win more foot ball games but would o cupy the place in the world of sports- men it deserves.” Such is the opinion of Eddie Mahan, brilliant Harvard halfback and cap- tain of the Crimson eleven in 1916, as expressed in an interview in the New York Sun. Mahan upheld Bill Roper, Princeton coach, as a teacher of ‘“clean, hard foot ball.” Expressing regret for the article in Liberty of Wynant Hubbard, accusing Princeton of ‘‘dirty foot ball,” Mahan sald he felt the Harvard players cited by Hubbard as having been injured by unfair tactics should either deny the accusations or stand as the “real protagonists.” “If there is any doubt in their minds they should be sportsmen enough to g Princeton the benefit He asserted he had seen all the Harvard-Princeton games of the last five years and did not believe they were played “unfairly.” “Roper, am convinced,” Mahan said, ‘‘teaches clean, hard foot ball. I admire and respect him. He occu- ples at Princeton the same position | that the late Percy Haughton filled at | Harvard. “Smith is the only Princeton player specifically accused.

My impression is that he; too, was tackled fairly. “It may be true that more Harvard than Princeton men were injured in the games between the two colleges, but it Is not surprising. Men of the type of Treat, Keck, Dickenson, Me- Millan and Gilroy are built of tougher fiber than the Harvard players of re- cent years. They are better fitted to stand the gaff.” INJURED BASKET BALL OFFICIAL DOING WELL Willlam (Chuck) Salador, American Professional Basket Ball League referee, who was knocked unconscious Sunday night at the Arcadia when caught in a jam of players during the Cleveland-Washington game, was to- day doing “very nicely” at the Emer- gency Hospital. It was stated that an X-ray had shown Salador to have sustained a cracked but not a fractured vertebrae. The former is much less serious, it was explained.
