SPORTS. Ceorgetown Five Plays BLUE JAYS LIKELY 10 BE STERN FOES Hoyas May Revamp Team for Game—Hilltoppers Out of Boston Games. G they face tonight in the Amer- ican University gymnasium at 8:30 o'clock. The Blue Jays from Bal- timore last Friday night showed well in downing their old rival, Maryland, at College Park and will be striving to check the fast-traveling Blue and Gray. Debuskey, center; Pasarew, forward, and Lang, guard, are the big guns of the Hopkins quint. Debuskey espe- cially is formidable. A tall, brainy fellow, he is a constant threat. Coach Elmer Ripley may start a re- vamped line-up against the visitors. Bill Shea, speedy forward, who aided in the late rally which brought the Hoyas victory over Penn State last Fri- day, may be in the opening combina- tion tonight and if he does will replace Johnny Dunn and team with Don Dut- ton, crack all-around player. Paul Dillon will be placed at center if Dut- ton goes to forward, with Capt. Freddy Mesmer and Maurice McCarthy at the guards. However, should Dutton get the tap-off assignment, Hal Meenan, guard, probably will begin as a forward. Georgetown Freshmen and Bliss will meet in a preliminary tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Jack McAuliffe, Catholic University director of athletics, is enjoying a 10- day vacation at his home in Worcester, Mass., taking advantage of the lack of activity at the Brookland school be- cause of midyear examinations. Geor will not be represented in the Boston Knights of Columbus games Saturday night. Coach John D. O'Reilly believes it wise to keep his athletes at home this week end that they might study for mid-year examinations, the outcome of which will decide whether they will be eligible for track the re- mainder of the season. It is the indoor intercollegiate cham- gebmhlps March 2 and the outdoor nn relays April 26 and 27 in Phila- delphia in which the Hoyas are most interested. In the indoor intercollegiates last season the Blue and Gray finished only half a point behind Cornell which won the title, while in the Penn relays the loss of those who had fallen by the wayside because of scholastic difficulties, prevented Georgetown from entering teams in the important mile and two mile relay events. g more strength in the field events as well as in the running depart- ment than a season ago Georgetown has h hopes of achieving top honors 1;5 ':o the intercollegiates and Penn EORGETOWN tossers probably will encounter stern opposi- tion in Johns Hopkins, whom ST.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 22.—Only one 10-goal player remains of the three who bore the standard of American polo from the top ranking last season. Tommy Hitchcock, captain of the in- ternational team, is the only one to carry to 10-goal handicap in the new list issued by the United States Polo Association yesterday. Lewis Lacey, Argentine back, is the only other 10- goal player in the world. Two veterans, Devereaux Milburn, who has carried the top rating for a dozen seasons, and Malcolm Stevenson, No. 3; on the team which defeated Argentina last Summer, have been re- duced, Milburn to a 6-goal handicap and Stevenson to 8 goals. Second only to Hitchcock, is Winston Guest for- mer Yale captain and member of the international team, who is rank- ed at 9 goals. It was the second raise in his handicap in a year. Just be- fore the matches with Argentina he |- was boosted from seven to eight goals In explanation of the sharp reduc- tion handed out to Milburn, a member of the original “big four” and leader in the galloping game for many years, the committee said, “it reflects more than anything else the results of in- Juries received in a fall while hunting at Aiken last Spring. A broken collar bone sustained at that time has never properly knitted. Until this injury is properly mended Mr. Milburn feels he is unable to give his best in polo.” Other changes in the rankings of members of the international squad in- crease the ratings of Earle A. S. Hop- ping, young sensation of the final game with Argentina, from 7 to 8 goals, W. Averell Harriman from 7 to 8 and Stephen Sanford from 6 to 7. R. E. Strawbridge, jr., was set back from 8 goals to 7.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 22—Purdue’s mighty machine has been stalled at last, and today Michigan was the un- disputed leader in the dizzy Big Ten basket ball championship whirligig with four victories and no defeats. ‘Wisconsin, which has dropped its only game in six starts to Michigan, turned the trick last night, upsetting the Boiler- makers, 31 to 26, at Lafayette. It was one of the most stunning upsets of the campaign, and as a result Michigan loafed into first place and Wisconsin jumped into a tie for second place with Purdue. It was a gentleman from Indiana, Hank Kowalczyk, Fort Wayne, who got most of the glory of the Badger triumph. Kowalczyk, a 6-foot-6-inch forward, stopped Purdue’s scoring ace, “Stretch™ Murphy, allowing his mates to trip through the Boilermaker defense time and again for victory. The Boiler- makers fought a hard fight, and might have come through, but they missed 10 free throws in 18 attempts, while the Badgers snared 13 out of 15 chances. Tenhopen at center and Foster at forward were on the receiving end of most of Wisconsin’s short passes, and together they looped the basket for 19 points. Kowalczyk scored one field goal and two free throws, while the best Murphy could do was to duplicate it. Previously Murphy had averaged better than 15 points a game. Both teams played good defensive basket ball. The Badgers, however, excelled, forcing Purdue to make most of its shots from long distances. Glen Harmeson was the only Boilermaker to break through repeatedly. He scored three field goals and missed several short tosses. Indiana got some revenge for its three defeats by plastering Minnesota, 41 to 21, at Bloomington in the only other Big Ten game last night. The Gophers, on the bottom of the cham- pionship heap with five straight defeats, were no match for the Hooslers, who seemed much improved. It was the last game for Bob Correll, Indiana guard and former captain, who completed three years of play. Only one more conference game is programmed this week, the Chicago- Ohio State game at Columbus Saturday night. Two important non-champion- ship clashes will be played, however, Notre Dame invading Northwestern and Creighton College of Omaha tackling Towa at Iowa City Saturday night. Michigan will be idle until February 9, when it plays Ohio State, while Pur- due and do not get into ac- tion until February 16, when the Boiler- makers meet Northwestern and the Badgers invade Indiana.

CHAMPAIGN, 111, January 22 (#).— Grand jury investigation of the defunct Illinois_ Trust & Savings Bank, from which Harold (Red) Grance and C. C. le, promoter, were reported to have recelved large loans, has beem asked R. Cline, SPORTS.’ On the Side Lines With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON HE first story emanating from ‘Tampa following the arrival there of Clark Griffith quoted the Washington mogul as saying that Bluege is to play second base for the Nationals this year. Just another item appropriate for that old caption, “Important, if True.” W The rumor that Baltimore may get big league base ball again has cropped up, but the citizens are re- straining their cheers. They've been told the same thing too many times, with disappointment as the invari- able result. The report came in connection with the story that the Orioles are to.be purchased by a syndicate with Los Angeles backing which proposes to give the Monumental City a real base ball plant with a seating ca- pacity of 30, and so constructed that ice hockey, basket ball, track meets and other indoor sports can be properly housed. Washington already has major league ball and a capacious park, but it is totally without facilities for cold weather events requiring large floor space since first Conven- tion Hall and then the Arcade ca- pitulated to the bowlers. In the past it has been found difficult to make an auditorium of any considerable size pay, but if the experience of a number of other large cities is any criterion the chief answer to this dificulty has been found in hockey. The fastest of all indoor games, hockey is capable of providing a thrill a minute for sports enthu- siasts who dote on action, and now that the engineers have evolved methods of providing a sheet of smooth ice in just a few hours and removing all traces of it in an equally short time, so that wholly different activities may be staged under the same roof with no loss of time, it may be just a few years until nearly every key city in the country will have a Madison Square Garden or its counterpart. Boston already is cared for with a structure along the lines of that in New York, and there is now in the process of construction in Chicago one that will exceed the Gotham plant in size. There is mo question that the great popularity of hockey is main- ly responsible for the trend toward “sports places.” But it also is true that the cities which have gone or are going in for them also sanction bozing, which, of course, provides the means for paying a large share of the overhead. Capital residents get little oppor- tunity to indulge in ice skating and are wholly unfamiliar with hockey. Regardless of that, we are confident the game would prove just as popu- lar with them as it has in other centers. But if légalized boxing is essential along with hockey and the other sports that could be staged in a modern plant for indoor athletics, to assure one for Washi it would seem this city will have to wait a long time. * % * “I have nothing to say about that subject,” was the reply of K.

Begins to look as if Gawge God- frey may get into that heavyweight elimination series yet. The big black boy that most of the contend- ers have so carefully sidestepped is to meet Paulino in a return match at Havana next month, according to tentative plans, and if they mate- rialize there may be more action in the scramble for Tunney's vacated title than has been anticipated. “Out-of-Bound” Play Developed BY SOL METZGER. The development of the out-of- bounds play in basket ball proves clearly that this sport has as many up-to-date coaches as any American game. In the beginning there was To system to this play. Every man was for himself. Then the out-of- bounds block of two men came along. Later three were used with all sorts of clever blocking to free one of them. These plays still exist. Of late another advance has been made. Ohio State was ore of the first to employ it. Watch ‘hem in a conference game this month vhen they have the ball out-of-bounds under their opponents’ basket and Y}uu will see some nifty work. No. 1 as the ball. His teammates, 2, 3 mpany} gram. No. 4 will be just outside the foul circle. To start the play, Nos. 2 and 3 will break as shown, thus drawing their opponents to the sides. Imme- diately No. 4 will drive at top speed past his opponent and for the basket, get a high pass from No. 1 as he nears the basket and score :g&n a {ux’h“xh:m. Nex;e time the ent of No. 4 won't be so easil; fooled. > (Copyright, 1929.) | | i ! lor Main 8976. i to book i the use of Central High School 29 Hopkins Tonight: Mexico Called Fertile Foot Ball Field ELEVENS T0 RIVAL .. TEAMS LIKELY Players May Lack Size, but They Will Make Up for It in Endurance. _ BY LAWRENCE PERRY. HE Foot Ball Coaches Association appears to have started some- thing when they went into this Mexican business. If the Amer- ican intercollegiate game has really caught the imagination of the youth of Mexico as Dr. Michael S. Ben- nett of Sewanee says, and if proper coaching can be furnished teams there, lookout for real international gridiron competition. Any idea that the young Mexican fs not physically comparable to his North- ern brother should be dismissed. Lack 5f weight and height may handicap him to some extent, but compensation is found in his extraordinary powers of endurance. It was not unusual during the days of Villa and Madero to see boys of 14 march 90 miles in three days on a few handfuls of corn meal, carrying a mili~ tary rifle and 200 rounds of ammuni« tion in addition to other equipment. Fond of Sports. Besides, Mexican boys have a real passion for sports. There are several hundred regularly organized base ball teams in Mexico City. Soccer is played and played well by practically all school boys. Most Mexican boys, especially those of the country, play handball about as soon as they can walk. Any man who coaches at a Mexican college will have no difficulty in picking plently of shifty backfield material who can run, kick and pass. The main difficulty will lie in the development of line play and this difficulty is likely to be mental rather than physical. Physically there are hundreds of young Mexicans of proper build—not tall, it is true, but broad ahd solid, with splendid back and shoulder develop- ment, who would be as immovable as squat brick pillars on defense. But the shock of bodily contact is an idea somewhat foreign to the Latin American mind and it will be difficult to train forwards to open the necessary s:leds in an opposing line. But it can lone. Have Had a Taste. As a matter of fact, this foot ball ex- periment has already been tried in Mexico. In one of the northern mining camps close to the border foot ball | games have been part of the celebra- tions of national holidays. There were always some Americans who had played the game and the teams were plegd out. wll‘th Mexlnl: miners. € one such game, played on a fleld three inches deep in dust, there were two Princeton men who had played freshman and scrub ball at Nassau, & fullback from New Mexico Agriculture College. a back from Colorado Mines, an end from Utah, an Indian from Haskell and a quarter from Columbia to build around. The two centers and the four guards were Mexican miners. They looked umpire and referee out of the camp fl;'lt the Mexicans became interested in offense. Most of the youth of Mexico has a strong admixture of astec and maya blood and if anyone thinks that the blood of the aborigines of this conti- nent is not foot ball blood they never saw Jim Thorpe, Bemus Plerce, Metoxen, Exendine, Hudson, Mount Pleasant, John Levi and many another dark skinned gridders.
