BOSTON A. A. GAMES DRAW GREAT FIELD By the Associated Press. BOSTON, February 5.— Tonight’s thirty-eighth annual indoor track meet of the Boston Athletic Association is expected to provide the most spectac- ular contests ever sponsored by the organization. Every large college in the East ex- cept Princeton sent its pick of track and fleld stars. Critics think Loren Murchison is booked for his first defeat in seven years, with Al Miller, Harvard sprint- er, favored to capture the event. Lloyd Hahn is regarded as the likely winner of the famous Hunter mile, the oldest fixture on the program. Ray Dodge of the Illinols A. C. is favored in the 1,000-yard special. HAWAIIANS ARE HIT BY GOLF EPIDEMIC By the Associated Press, HONOLULU, February 5.—Hawaii hes succumbed to the golfing bug.

MURPHY TO COACH PHILS. PHILADELPHIA, February 5 (®). —Danny Murphy, one time star second baseman and outfielder of Connie | Bailey: Cage Game Rough is Eliot’s Verdict BASKET BALL BY SOL METZGER. 1908 -=tie— The year 1908 brought about a needed change in‘the basket ball code. Up to that time three fouls gave the opponents a point and dribbling was as unrestricted as the play of fists in a lumber camp following pay day. One game, more than anything else, caused the code to be changed to banish- ing a player for unsportsmanlike conduct, and for four personal fouls, and restricting the dribble, which was an individual stunt, de- manding little teamwork as it was then practiced. The game that forced the change was between Penn and Columbia. Penn's team, composed of Dutch- men and Irishmen, was at war with itself. It possessed in Kei- nath the greatest dribbler the col- lege game ever knew. Columbia was met for the title and a giant, Jack Ryan, moved from center to guard to cover Keinath. Ryan soon had his nose broken and came back to the scrimmage all set to “get” somebody, preferably Keinath. McCrudden, seeing Ryan’s intention, interposed his own jaw to take Ryan’s swing. He was knocked cold, revived and returned to the game. That bit of self-sacrifice weldcd the stars of the Red and Blue into a great machine and they finally conquer- ed Columbia, 16 to 15, in an over- time game. The late President Eliot of Harvard followed the sea- son with a report characterizing basket ball as “more brutal even than foot ball” All of which caused the rule makers to reform the game by removing the unre- stricted dribble, the cause of most of the roughness. HOWARD U. WILL PLAY NINE GAMES NEXT FALL Howard University will play nine foot ball games the coming Fall, open- ing with Bluefield Institute on Octo- ber 1 and closing with the annual big game with their dearest rivals, Lin- coln University, at Philadelphia, on Thanksgiving day.

And with the acceptance of terms by Fred Marberry, relief pitcher extraordinary, 26 of the 40 players are ready to take orders for thé 1927 American League campaign. Marberry has been ordered to go to Hot Springs, Ark., where he will join Manager Bucky Harris, Sam Rice, Goose Goslin and Stan Coveleskie in conditioning work preliminary to the general training to be taken at the Tampa, Fla., Spring camp of the ‘Washington club, Now that Marberry has come into the fold, the only players who finished the last season with the Nationals as yet unsigned are Catchers Muddy Ruel and Benny Tate and Pitchers ‘Willard Morrell, George Murray, Curly Ogden_and Clarence Thomas. Joe Harris, sold to the Pirates for a sum “above the walver price.,” ac- cording to President Clark Griffith of the Nationals, came to the Washing- ton club from the Red Sox early in May, 1925, the Boston club ge ting Pitcher Paul Zahniser and Outflelder Roy Carlyle in exchange. Harris was used frequently by the Nationals both as outfielder and first sacker and hit well for the club. He is a veteran big leaguer, having gradu- ated from the minors before the World War. He left the game to par- ticipate in that conflict and was severely wounded while serving with the A. E. F. Emmett McCann, young player pur- chased from Columbus of the Ameri- can Assoclation, probably will be groomed as a first baseman to under- study Joe Judge, the Natlonals’ regu- lar initial sack guardian.

NEW YORK, February 5.—Rogers Hornsby will have little ‘trouble find- ing a customer for the stock he holds in the St. Louls Cardinals, President Sam Breadon of the club said today. Breadon is in the city for the annual base ball writers' dinner tonight. Ho:@sby, former manager of the world champion Cardinals, also is expected to attend the dinner. Breadon had a chance to buy the stock, he said, but the price was “too stiff” for him. The St. Louis presi- dent said he had no doubt that Horns- by would find a customer before the season opens. . Breadon refused to reveal the sal- ary to be paid Frankie Frisch, second baseman, who was traded to the Car- dinals with Jimmy Ring in the swap for Hornsby. Frisch has signed his contract for 1927, he said. “You should have seen the letters I received after I traded Hornsby, Breadon said. “They were going to hang me before the first of the year, but I'm all right now, I guess, unless Hornsby drives the ball over the roof when the Glants make their first trip to St. Lous.” Holdouts are not worrying him, cause he has many players who never return their contracts early, he said. He pointed out that he had more signed contracts at this time than last year on the same date. SIX BIG TEN FIVES IN ACTION TONIGHT By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, February 5.—Six Big Ten basket ball quintets resume shooting tonight, Indiana’s game with the University of Chicago here being the high spot on the schedule. The Hooslers, looming as the most formidable rival of Michigan for the conference title, are not expected to have an easy time with Chicago, a team that is showing much improve- ment over its earlier form. Chicago will have the advantage that goes with games on a home floor, while Indiana will be without the services of Winston, a guard lost by gradu- ation. A victory would boost Indiana into undisputed second place, as Wiscon- sin, with whom the Hooslers now are tied, does not engage in play for an- other week. Indiana also has a game scheduled for Monday, meeting Min- nesota. Ohio plays Iowa at Towa City to- night, with a chance to break f{ts third place tie with Illinois. The Tllini, however, have what looks like easy competition in Minnesota, a team that has thus far failed to win a con- ference game. The game will be play- ed at Urbana. Michigan, unbeaten leader of the Big Ten, continues idle, permitting members of her squad to devote their time to semester examinations. CHAREST HEADS M. A.

Gamely struggling back into that fire, Bushy sought at times to flash agaln his weaving, bobbing attack, but the bounce was gone from his style.

TENNIS BATTLE DUE ON RATING RICHARDS By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, February 65.— Rival forces were drawn up today for the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclatien be- cause of a new thorn of professional- ism in the side of the organization. A controversy over the proposed ranking of Vincent Richards among America’s leading 1926 amateur play- ers was involved. On one side was the national ranking committee, which held that Richards, who joined C. C. Pyle's professional tennis troupe last Fall, was entitled to a place near the top of the list because he completed the outdoor season as an amateur. The executive committee of the as- sociation maintained that none but amateurs at the time such rankings were officially approved should be ranked. Should friends of Richards win their fight to have him ranked first by the association today on the basis of his three victories over Willlam T. Tilden last year it will mark the first time in his career that he has held the No. 1 position. Defeat of the at- tempt, on the other hand, is expected to result in the elevation of Tilden to the top for the seventh successive year. Several amendments to the playing rules were on the calendar of the meet- ing, chief of which was a change to permit the use of spiked shoes at all turf court tournaments. No change was expected in the schedule of championshi events which prevalled last year. e Davis cup challenge round again has been tentatively fixed for September 8, 9 and 10 at the Germantown Cricket Club, Philadelphia, while the national men'’s singles championship again has been slated for the West Side Club of Forest Hills, N. Y., starting the week of September 12. CUEIST HAS RUN OF 27.+ in the second half. the | defeated by a lone point, New York University registering a_38-t0-37 v tory. Nork's fine eye had much to do with the 21-to-13 advantage George- town held at the end of the first half. He was well guarded thereafter, how- ever, and the New Yorkers battled nip-and-tuck with the Hilltoppers. With less than 10 seconds to play and his team trailing by a point, Reedy, a New York U. substitute, pocketed a one-handed shot that decided the issue, Clarence Dussault, Georgetown mid- dle-distance runner, scored two wins last night in the track and fleld games at Camden, N. J. He finished first In the Rodman Wanamaker halfeile and the 600-yard race. In addition to today's swimming meet with Swarthmore, Catholic Uni- versity has listed the following con- tests: February 12, Delaware; 18, La- fayette, at Easton: 19, Lehigh, at Bethlehem; 26, Johns Hopkins. WOMEN IN SP )RT BY CORINNE FRAZIER- N the finest exhibition of basket ball which has been seen on the local collegiate courts this season, the George Washington Univer- sity squad out-tossed the Gallau- det sextet, 34 to 7, at Kendall Green last night. The game was George ‘Washington’s opener and the fourth start for Gallaudet. Brilllant passing, keen headwork and accuracy in finding the basket on the part of both teams made the con- test a joy to watch. George Wash- ington was especially strong in the forward field, where Alys Ewers and Naomi Crumley made good on prac- tically every scoring opportunity. Miss Crumley, a new member of the Colonial squad, dropped them in from all angles with equal ease. She reg- istered three fleld goals and three from the foul lines. Marjorie Eigle starred for Gallaudet on the defensive, while Mary Kan- napell was responsible for the entire score chalked up by her team. Judging from their first perform- ance, the Colonials have the prospects of a highly successful season ahead of them. With Louise Omwake back in the center fleld, Leah Cate at side center; Winifred Faunce and Elizabeth Hastings in the back fleld and two forwards who are equally adept at passing and goal shooting, the Buff and Blue squad presents:a machine which combines speed with close team play and deadly accuracy. Gallaudet’s line-up against George ‘Washington included Miss Kannapell, Lucille Du Bose, forwards; Bessie Law- son, center; Margaret Du Bose, side center; Eigle, guards. Fair tossers of Company F, Hyatts- ville National Guard Auxiliary, suffer- ed two defeats last night on the ar mory court at Hyattsville. They bow- ed to the Princess Junlor sextet, 20 to 11, in the opener, a Washington Rec- reation League engagement, and took the short end of a 6-to-4 count in a tilt with the Hyattsville High School squad, which followed the league game. Princess Juniors who figured in the Recreation League affair were Misses Totten, Payne, Ruzicka, Sawaya, Baum, Ginoly, Lowes and Beckley. Hyattsville’s Company F squad, which played in both games, included Misses England, McClay, Weirich, Anderson, H. Hiser and Gover. Hyattsville High School passers were Misses Smith, Herring, C.
