SPORTS | Two College CourtGamesHere GALLAUDET OPENS: 0. U. PLAYS AGAIN Brooklanders Seeking Third Win—Maryland Names Season’s Dates. I Gallaudet will open its sea- son by entertaining Arnold Col- lege of New Haven, Conn., in the Kendall Green gym, and Catholic University tossers, with two wins in as many starts under their belts, will play host to William and Mary College at_Brookland. The Gallaudet game starts at 8 oclock, with the tilt at Brookland starting at 8:30 o'clock. Coach Krug’s Gallaudet combination is primed for its game with Arnold, which was beaten last night by Wash- ington College at Chestertown. With a team made up largely of seasoned players, it appears that the Kendall Greeners will show sturdily this Win- ter. In their last competition, a prac- tice game with Eastern High on Wed- nesday, the Gallaudet hustlers showed a fast, accurate attack and a stalwart five-man defense. Dyer and Cosgrove, sharpshooters, are slated to hold forth at the for- wards tonight, with Cain at center and Capt. Yoder and Miller at guards. Katz and Hoherman are newcomers to the Kendall Green this season, who have shown ability and may get a chance tonight. Deznin and Cook, forwards, did most of Arnold’s scoring last night against Washington College. In turning back Virginia Medical College last night Catholic University held the whip hand from the start. From the outset it was apparent that the visitors were no match for Coach Fred Rice's boys and the only ques tion was what the margin of victory would be. Johnny Long and Ray Foley, with 16 and 12 points, respec- tively, headed C. U.'s drive on the Cards, with Harvey also shooting con- sistently well. Holding a 29-11 edge at the half the Cardinals started an entire sophomore team which more than held its own against the visitors. Bell and Amman showed strongly for the soph quint. Beal and Daniels were the losers’ best players. Catholic University’s foot ball team ‘will be led in 1928 by James Schmidt, of Baltimore, plunging fullback, who ‘was selected to captain the Cardinals at a meeting of letter men yesterday. Schmidt, a junior, has been on the varsity squad two seasons. Schmidt ‘was kept out of many games the past season by injuries but his work in the Loyola outstanding. He weighs 180 pounds and stands 5 feet 11 inches. Schmidt also has been a member of the varsity basket ball squad the past two seasons. He played one season as a halfback with Loyola College be- fore entering Catholic University and may play as a halfback instead of fullback next Fall. University of Maryland varsity's basket ball team, which opens its sea- son Monday night with Washington and Lee, at College Park, will play t least 17 games this season, ac- WO college basket ball games are to be staged on local floors tonight. at Columbia Junior High School, it has been announced by Coach Elmer P. (Hap) Har- dell. It appears that because of heavy losses by graduation the Man- val Trainers’ coach has a big job to mold a team capable of retaining the public high championship which has been won by Tech the past four seasons. Hardell's proteges nosed out Eastern by just two points last sea- son. Development of strength in the weights will be Hardell's chief prob- lem, it would seem. Several boys of decided promise, however, have entered Tech since last season and from these some clever performers may be developed. It is hoped, too, that some members of last season’s squad will show sufficient im- provement to be of value to the team. ECH HIGH track candidates I will begin training January 4 1 and St. Xavier games was | park The showing of the Techites will de- pend to a considerable extent on whether capable performers escape disqualification through scholastic fail- ure. Bulwarks of the team of a season ago who are missing include Bill Havel and Shaw Blackistone, quarter milers; Henry McDonald, who set a pole vault record in the last Spring meet; Omar Jeter, shotputter, discus and javelin thrower, and Paul Fel lows, hurdler. Edgar Shaw, half miler, and Bob Bailey, low hurdler, form the nucleus for the coming season’s team. Just when Tech will get its first _—— cording to the schedule announced yesterday, and may engage in one or two more. Kentucky, Virginia, Stevens, North Carolina State, Washington College and Virginia Poly are among the 11 teams that will show their wares at College Park. The Washington and Lee tilt will be the lone contest for the Old Liners prior to the holidays. Penn and Navy are to be met, with others, on foreign floors. Games on a home-and-home basis have been arranged with Maryland's old rival, Johns Hopkins, which has taken up the court game. .

NING Tech High Track Candidates Will Start Work January 4 competition this Winter has not been determined. The Manual Trainers may show their wares in the Univer- sity of Richmond ‘games and expect to compete in the annual meet in the 5th Regiment Armory in Baltimore. Tech and Episcopal High will meet in their annual engagement on the Virginian’s fleld April 19 and the local school boys have a meeting pending with the University of Maryland freshmen. If a relay team of appre- ciable strength is developed it prob- ably will be entered in the Penn Re- 1a lech will be represented in the v of Maryland interscholas- tics and, of course, in the annual C Club games and the public high title meet. Central High's swimming team will engage a Catholic University combina- tion tomorrow afternoon at Brookland at 3:30 o'clock. The Blue and White natators are after dual meets with the Washington Swimming Club and the Washington Canoe Club. Tech was to engage St. John's at the Boys' Club and Devitt and George- town University Freshmen were to face in schoolboy court tilts today. Western was down for a practice brush with Emerson and Eastern hoped to arrange a scrimmage with some independent five. Bliss Electri- cal School is to engage French A. C. basketers at the Silver Spring, Md. armory tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Central nosed out Alexandria High basket 28 to 25, in the Virginia City in the feature schoolboy game hereabout yesterday. A late rally by Coach Bert Coggins’ boys told. Busi- ness routed an all-star team, 62 to 28, Eastern, using 31 players, scored over Sioux A. C., 35 to 17, and Tech’s court- men defeated a combination of ineli- gibles on the Manual Trainers’ squad, 34 to 13. Western High's 1927 foot ball play- ers, who will be awarded letters De- cember 22, were honored at a banquet last night. Kerfoot Smith, plucky Central High center, who broke both his shoulders but insisted on staying out with the team, hopeful that, despite his in- juries, he would be allowed to again get in the game, was among 17 pre- sented foot ball letters this morning at the Columbia Heights School. Smith played in but two quarters of the Business game and the rule has been that a gridironer must partici- pate in nine to earn his letter. How- ever, the student council yesterday voted to give Smith his letter in appreciation of the boy's fine spirit. The vote came after an amendment to the athletic code had been carried giving the principal of the school power in the future to suggest the award of letters in meritorious cases where the nine quarters have not been played. PEABODY DEFEATS GAGE IN SOCCER SERIES START Peabody School with a victory to its credit will meet Gage School next Monday in the second game of the ser- ies of three tilts for the junior soccer championship of the elementary schools. Peabody yesterday defeated Gage, 2 to 1,0n the Plaza playground, where the next contest will be staged. In the initial clash of the series, the teams came out of the first half deadlocked at 1-all. Peabody put through the winning goal shortly after the second half was under way. N STAR, WASHINGTO PRESSURE NEEDED 10 SAVE GRD TILT Impasse Reached When West Point Officially Spurns Annapolis Code. EW YORK, December 16.—In the official statement to the ef- fect that the United States Military Academy will not fol- low the Naval Academy in adopting a three-year eligibility rule, the issue between the two service in- stitutions reaches a crisis. The next move will be made by the authorities at Annapolis and this is likely to take the form of breaking off all athletic relations. No doubt when the Navy passed this rule and de- manded that West Point follow suit, the powers-that-be at Annapolis had in mind all possible eventualities—in- cluding, of course, a break with the sister institution. Unquestionably the Army stand has been taken just as advisedly. In all its aspects it is a re- grettable situation. Who knows, however, that the Government may take the two insti- tutions by the scruff of the neck, shake them enthusiastically and tell them to stop all this quarreling and go ahead and play foot ball. This might well happen. And there would be no alternative to obeying. In such a case a congressional movement reported now to be in progress may result in various sec- tions of the country sharing with New York and Philadelphia the privi- lege of staging the annual Army-Navy game. The way in which Repre- sentative Britten drew the game to Chicago in 1926 proved an eye-opener to Congressmen from other sections, and a lurking idea that there was no reason at all why the East should hog these annual gridiron combats be- tween the two national service.acade- mies blazed forthwith into an estab- lished conviction. A Senator from an important Southern State asserts that Congress may take steps to change this condi- tion, and if this happens Philadelphia and New York may prepare them- selves to bid farewell to these color- ful service foot ball games. This being so, the Cadets and the Midshipmen are likely to travel far year after year and the faculty corps, as one Army officer puts it, probably will be loaded into a box car and sent along with the students. Looking at the matter fairly, there is no reason at all, save that which relates to the essential curricular work, why the service game should not be played in Seattle or in any Pacific Coast center, in Atlanta, or Chicago or Denver—anywhere, in fact. But the scholastic objection has to be cited as of highest importance. Perhaps Congress would see a way to overcome this. And by the same token, if the na- tional legislative body develops, as seems to be the case, overweening in- | terest in this game, it will never be broken off because of dissension be- tween the two academies. Congress simply could say, “Nothing doing on the break stuff,” and that would be that. (Copyright. 1927.) Navy Statement Due. ANNAPOLIS, Md., December 16.— Rear Admiral Louis M.

Admiral Nulton was in conference vesterday with Comdr. Jonas H. In- gram, athletic director. Sentiment among naval people here appears to be practically unani- mous that there should be no games with the Military Academy as long as that institution continues to use athletes, transferred from other col- leges, who have played more than three years. In spite of the precarious state In which the matter now is, it generally is thought here that some way will be found to continue athletic rela- tions. This may come, it is pointed out, through an agreement of the heads of the departments or by the action of an impartial body appoint- ed by those officials.
