FTER this week only two sched- uled games remain on the pub- lic high school basket ball championship series card. It is possible that the title will not be decided until these matches are played. Altogether 20 scholastic floor games are carded hereabout this k. In series matches Eastern and Busi- ness and Central and Tech will clash Tuesday and Eastern and Western and Business and Tech will face Friday in the Tech High gym. While Tech, which is heading the flag race with five wins against one de- feat, is favored to land the gonfalon, Western and Easfern, which stand sec- ond and third, respectively, are not out of the running. Tech, though, appears ta face the easiest sailing as it has to meet Central and Business, teams which it already has defeated once in the series. The McKinley team, how- ever, had not a little trouble downing both Central and Business in the first round ana may again find these teams difficult to overcome. Eastern and Western must play each other and a defeat for either would be a body blow to its title chances as both have lost two games. Western has won four con- tests and Eastern three. In addition to tern. Western has to face Busi- Eastern has the toughest row to hoe of the trio, facing contests against Business and Central in addition to that wiin Western. St. John’s and Devitt, each of which has lost to Gonzaga in the Prep School League, will clash Wednesday after- oon at 3:15 o'clock in a league game the Boys' Club gym.

Among these ar Georgo Three frays are listed tomorrow. two contests prior to Virginia's appear- ance at Maryland Friday. Besides the Virginia-Catholic U, game Saturday, Gallaudet goes over to George ‘Washington for a setto and American University journeys to Annapolis to see ‘what it can accomplish against the Mid- shipmen. ‘This chap Ekaitis, who plays in the backfield and boxes for Western Mary- land College, is a real athlete. In foot ball he stood out head and shoulders in almost every game and Friday night he carried far too many solid punches in his gloves for his Georgetown op- ponent. ‘Weighing about 170 pounds ordinarily, although he: boxes at a lower weight, Ekaitis is almost ideal for an all around | athlete, and few men in the section are better than he and few look more the part. Several men interested in the Ama- teur Athletic Union are planning to hold an indoor track and field meet in Baltimore late in the Winter, prob- ably around the 1st of March. An- nouncements have been sent to many col and universities and schools | with a view to learning what would | be the most suitable date for all, and as soon as a fair number of responses come in it is likely that a date will be announced. Another announcement of an indoor meet has come from West Virginia University, which plans to sponsor one | in its new cage at Morgantown. West Virginia is desirous of having all the colleges in the whole section take part mému.‘m is boosting its. ind i al g its loor , to be held at Charlottesville in ry. Virginia a big gym- nasium in which it gets a 50-yard strajghtaway and has a track for the distance event just about the size of the old track in Convention Hall be- fore the latter was given over to bowl- ing alleys. If these meets become annual affairs, and another set of games is inaugurated by still another organization, indoor track and field athletics in this section should boom considerably. Right now, with the exception of Georgetown and Maryland, little is being done. It is not possible to inject much interest, nor to get a big group of athletes to keep consistently in training, without some kind of competition. ‘Washington needs at least one in- door meet. but that seems impossible until a building suitable for such a set of games is constructed. It is hoped that when a building to house the National Guard bzcomes a reality the dimensions and design will be such as to permit indoor games of high standard. This would mean at a | minimum a three-lap track, with room in addition to take care of 3,000 spec- tors, Some time ago the Navy made a proposal to all schools in Maryland that they get together for an indoor track and field meet, but did not get much response. The Navy is about the only institution in the State doing any real work at present and it is doubtful if there is another school that could put a full squad in competition. ‘With the University of Illinois be- ginning foot ball practice February 6, it is not unlikely that the other big schools in the Middle West will waste much time getting their gridiron en- thusiasts to work; that is, of course, those not playing on some other varsity teams. Zuppke long has had his men going through the paces during the Winter months and early Spring, and no doubt a good deal of the mechanical precision and general effectiveness in fundamentals for which his teams are notable is developed in this off-season work. It may be claimed that Spring foot bal! is useless but anybody who knows foot ball, or knows anything about ath- letics is fully aware that two months of extra practice during a year is sure to be effective. In other words, the average eleven during its regular sea- son goes through foot ball for three months, but the one that has its regu- Jar season of three months and then | main attraction, the first of which will get under way at 12 o'clock, when Stanley A. C. is to meet an opponent to be named. Games will follow in order between Northwest Cardinals and McLean, Va.. fives; Red Shields 2nd Passiacs and Woodside A. C. and Silver Spring High School. Miami _which defeated the sturdy Cresaps- Rifles, 43 to 25, at Frederick Thursday night, a team which Silver Spring downed, 26 to 21, recently, comes to this section with a record of 53 wins out of 63 starts, including victories over many streng quints at widely sep- arated points.

HILADELPHIA, January 26.— Apparently the tremor caused by the resignation of Bert Bell, backfield coach, which stirred to greater activity the generally | ruffled waters of University of Pennsyl- | vania foot ball, is the forerunner of a violent shake-up, due ere the 1930 sea- son dawns, which may bring Lou Liitle, now at Georgetown, back to his alma mater-as head coach. Bell, in disagreement last season with Lud Wray, line mentor, on gridiron policy, tactily gave Head Coach Lou Young the alternative of selecting one | or the other for the 1929 season. Young | chose Wray. The originator of the hidden ball at- tack, however, is not out of foot ball. He intends to coach somewhere in the Fall and then, if Little is to sit in the saddle at Penn, Bert Bell once more will be back in the Quaker fold. Much depends, to be sure, on what happens on Franklin Field this year, without the presence of Bell, if the | Little faction is to be successful in sup- planting Young, whose contract termi- nates with the Cornell game, with its candidate. Foot ball at Penn ever has been a hothed of factionalism. At this time the group with Sidney Hutchinson, chairman of the alumni foot ball com- mittee, as the central figure, supported by Bell and his father, has bowed to the other, led by Dr. Carl Williams, Bill | Hollenbach, Charley Lovett and Morice, all old-time Penn players and firm believers in the old school of foot ball as advocated by Lou Young and Lud Wray. Favors Light Serimmage. Eell favors light scrimmage once the season is under way and stress on the attack. Wray, in particular, and Young want plenly of scrimmage and lean. to defensive rather than offensive foot ball, waiting for the breaks to score. Defensive tactics have been Penn'’s forte in the past and it was not until these last few seasons, due to Bell, that the Red and Blue developed an attack worthy of the name. Lou Little played in the line at Penn- ylvania before the war and on the 1919 Little May Return to Penn As Head Grid Coach in 1930 { won this popularity in the face of op- bie claimed the players were given to§ much work. Another break occurred among the coaches last season at the time of the Columbia game. Bell was absolutely opposed to the starting of the second team backfield against the Lions, which Young and Wray approved. It will be recalied Columbia pushed over a touch- down in the early minutes of play. Even before the Lions scored, Penn's lnirfi backfield had been rushed on the e Bell is well liked by the undergrad- uate body at Pennsylvania. He has position which accrued first as captain of the 1919 eleven and then by his ap- pointment as coach, many feeling he was fll-fitted for the post. Bell tendered his resignation immedi- ately after the last Cornell game, re- fusing to go on with Wray. He did not quit because of business reasons, as re- ported. and seemingly he does have high hopes of being back at Franklin Field in 1930. CUMBERLAND QUINT DEFEATS HOFFMANS ALEXANDRIA, Va.
