They appeared to be hurrying their attempts too much. however. Gallaudet started strongly, scoring 8 points in the first five minutes. Here, however, C. U. got its offense function- ing, and it was a real battle until the end of the half, when the score was 12 to 9, with Gailaudet on the long end. In the second half C. U. contrived to tie the score at 18-all in the last min- utes of play, but at this stage. Cosgrove Jaunced his 8-point foray on the C. U. basket, which brought his team victory. C. U.

Superiority at center, more speed and . Ereater accuracy in shooting enabled Randolph-Macon to defeat Maryland in a game that lacked much from an artistic basket ball standpoint. Woodson of Randolph-Macon got the tap-off most of the time and played a much better floor game thap the three men Maryland used at center, and this was the main factor in the victory of the Ashlanders. Maryland, on the other hand, was off in its passing and shooting, blow- ing many easy shots in the first half, when it could easily have piled up a commanding lead. Instead it was ahead only 14 to 13 at intermission and when the Randolph-Macon scored three times on pot shots to start the second 20 minutes of play it took the lead and stayed there. ‘Woodson was Randolph-Macon's lead- ing player in general work and in scor- ing, making 12 points, but Trader, at guard, ran him a close second. Gaylor, with 9 points, was Maryland’s best scorer, but Radice and Dean, who played fine floor games, rimmed the basket time after time, only to have the ball drop outside. MARYLAND™T20).

Basket Ball Problems BY OSWALD TOWER__ Member Joint Rules Committee. Question—How long should the ref- eree wait before calling held ball when the player with the ball is closely guarded? Answer—Held ball should mot be called until it is evident the player cannot, or does not intend to get rid of the ball. Time should be allowed for his tcammates to get into position for a pass. The amount of time will vary with the conditions in each case, but it should be emphasized that this is not a “quick whistle play.” Officials should wait until they are convinced the player is withholding the ball from play.

Hyattsville High teams have been meeting Catons- ville teams in home-and-home series in various sports for the past few years, and there is a lively rivalry between the schools. So far Hyattsville has won two and lost two games this season. Hyattsville plans to start against Catonsville with Venemann and Reeley at forwards; Winegartner at center and Lewis and Robinson at guards. ARMY'S LATE GOAL WINS. WEST POINT, N. Y., January 10.— Zimmerman's goal in the final 30 sec- onds won a thrilling basket ball game for the Army yesterday from Bucknell by 35 to 34. It was West Point's fifth straight victory. N SPORT Meyer is a member of the varsity hockey squad, a track star and has had the distinction of being the first junior in the history of the school to be elected president of the Woman's Athletic Association. ‘While at Western High School, Miss Meyer, who is the daughter of Com- missioner Belthasar H. Meyer of the| Interstate Commerce Commission, par- ticipated in hockey, basket ball and field events. It was in the latter that she set her mark. Unofficially, she immed the har at 4 feet 11 inches and her official record was 4 feet 8 inches. Following her graduation, Miss Meyer will rejoin her parents here in Wash- ington and plans to take an active part in_club athietics. She probably will affiliate with the local hockey group. Members of the Washington Field Hockey Club are reminded that a meet- ing of the organization has been called for tonight at 7:45 at the home of the president, Mrs. Virginia H, Russell, 1916 G street northwest. Plans for next sea- son will be discussed as well as a plan for raising funds to meet the expenses shared by Baltimore in entertaining the All-English squad this past Fall, ~ Any hockey enthusiasts who would be interested in affiliating with the club are cordially invited to attend tonight's meeting or to send in their names to Eugenia Davis, at George Washington University, or to Mrs. Russell, so that at the University of Wisconsin, where she will be graduated this June.

Seven basket ball games and a swimming meet are listed. Central defeated Hyattsville High, 31 to 17, in the Central gym yes- terday afternoon and Catholic Univer- Business High last night at Brookland. Headlining the program will be the public high_ school basket ball cham- plonship games between Business and Eastern and Central and Tech in the Tech gym. While the Business and Eastern contest, which opens the pro- gram at 3:15 o'clock, promises to prove the more interesting the Central-Tech game is sure to be attractive as are all athletic contests between these old rivals. Tech appears this ‘season to have a decided edge on the Columbia Heights scholastics and is favored to take them to camp rather handily. Business, which unekpectedly defeated Central, 23 to 16, Tuesday in its only series match so far will be battling to keep its record clean, while Eastern, which bowed to Tech, 15 to 19, in its only match thus far last Saturday will be striving for a victory to remain in the flag chase. Business will be handi- capped through the absence of its stel- lar forward, Nathan Newman, who will be out as the result of a sprained ankle suffered last night in the match with Catholic University freshmen. Newman was high scorer for his team last night as well as in the Business game. Central is expected to present a re- vamped line-up against Tech in an ef- fort to upset the McKinley team and get back in the running for the flag. Having already succumbed to Western in addition to Business, defeat at the hands of Tech will be the death blow to Cntral's title aspirations. Capt. Fisher and Cross, forwards; DeLisio and Romig, guards, and either Rice, Monk or Stephan are regarded as likely Cen- tral starters Should Tech again triumph tomor- row, the McKinley team will increase its lead in the championship race. It now has two wins in as many starts, In addition to the public high matches five court games involving scholastic quints of the District are listed tomor- Tow. In games hereabout St. John'’s will entertain Catholic University Freshmen in the St. John's gym, University of Maryland Freshmen will play host to Western High at College Park and Bliss Electrical School will meet its alumni in the Silver Spring Armory. sSt. Alban's will visit Leonardtown, | | Md.*to face Leonard Hall School and | Hyattsville High will be at Catonsville, | Md., to hook up with Catonsville High.

St. John's College basketers have scheduled 16 more games in addition | to their match tomorrow with Catholic University Freshmen and have two con- tests pending with Western. The John- | nies are shy of experienced material but are hopeful of making a creditable showing.

OMMY ARMOUR, professional olfer at the gressiona Country Club for the la ree vears and national open cham- plon in 1927, has resigned his post at the local golf organization, ac- cording to a special dispatch from the Coast appearing in the Baltimore Sum today. No definite word of Armour’s resig- nation has been received in Washing- ton, although the club three weeks ago wrote Armour a letter offering him a reduced salary on the expiration of hi present contract March 18. It was| immed {hat Armour had declined to| accept the reduction in salary and had decided to seveg his connnection with the club. The dispatch added that Alex| (Sandy) Armour, who has been Tommy's assistant during his term at Congressional, will be his brother’s suc- cessor at the club. Officials of the Congressional Club knew nothing today either of Tommy Armour’s reported resignation or the basis for the report that Alex Armour would_get the post. Alex Armour is one of several candidates for the Con- gressional berth, and club _ officials pointed out that no decision has been reached about filling the post in case Tommy has resigned. Looks to Money End. Before he left Washington in October for a tour of the West and South Tommy said he was negotiating with two clubs for a berth in 1929, em- phasizing that there was no reason for g Congressional other than the to make more money and the @r a change of scenery. One of the clubs mentioned was the Tam O’Shanter Club of Detroit, where Charles Gu is the professional. When mention was made of the possibility that Tommy would succeed to the post at Westchester-Biltmore, near New York, where he was once resident secretary, he positively denied the sug- gestion, adding that he probably would not take the post if it were offered to him. It is extremely unlikely that Tommy's next job will be in the | metropolitan district, if he has resigned | from Congressional. i Guy Mason, chairman of the Con- gressional Club golf committee, was | without any word of the reported resig- nation, and expected a telegram or | letter from Armour within a short time, following the dispatch in which Armour | evidently announced his resignation be- fore his club knew of it. Of distinguished Scottish lineage. ‘Tommy Armour grew up as a youngster on the wind swept links around Edin- burgh, and was a student at Edinburgh University when the war broke out He offered himself for duty immediately and after a service with the “suicide squad,” the machine guns battalions, he went over to the Tank Corps of the| British Army when these mystery vehicles first became known in 1915 Tommy made a brilliant record with | the tanks, and was known as one of | the outstanding machine gun experts of the British Army. | Shot During War. He was in a shrapnel burst during the conflict and' suffered injuries which cost him the sight of one eye, and tore away part of his left shoulder. Re- turning to Scotland after the war, he annexed the Scottish amateur cham- pionship and soon after won the French amateur. With his brother Alex he came to the United States in 1920 as As Congressional Pro resident_secretary at Westchester-Bilt- more, playing in the national amateur championship_several times, but never going far in the simon pure title chase. His activities at Westchester came under the ban of the United States Golf Association in 1924, and during that Winter he turned professional, touring the South with a group of pros. He played in an_exhibition match at the Washington Golf and Country Club in the g of 1925, and the follow- ing year returned to Washington as prc_at Congressional The year 19 he won the nations the play-off of a tie with Harry Cooper, annexed the Canadian open al, later going on an e tended exhibition tour with Johnny Farrell. In the course of his campaign he picked up several minor titles. Last year at Chicago Armour dropped his national championship to Farrell, later relinquishing his Canadian title fo Leo Dicgel, but not before he had won the metropolitan, the Pennsylvania_State and several other minor events. Infect- ed testh hurt his game in the latter part of the season, and he had many of them drawn before embarking on his Western and Southern_trip. whom Tommy brought here from New York, are at Congressional.
