COTHAMTOSSERS WILL INVADE G L. Have Won 18 Games in Row. American U. Beats G. W. Maryland Routed. l season, will invade the gymnas- ium at Brookland tonight to en- gage Catholic University tossers. In another match here tonight Georgetown will meet Gallaudet on the American University floor. Maryland will continue its Southern trip, meeting Virginia Military Institute at Lexington. Both the games here will start at 8 o'clock. American University vanquished George Washington, 35 to 29, in the A. U. gym, and Washington and Lee drubbed Maryland, 42 to 18, at Lexing- ton, in games in which District college floor teams figured last night. Catholic Univel which because of lack of experienced material has shown little this season, is not expected to do mere than give Forgham an inter- esting contest, but many are expected to visit Brookland to see the sterling Gotham team in action. Fordham downed the strong Layola team, 43 to 30, last night in Baltimore. There will be a preliminary between Catholic Uni- versity Freshmen and Tech High, starting at 7 o'clock. Georgetown, it is expected, will not find Gallaudet difficult to beat, though the Kendall Greeners can be depended to present a hustling team. Though George Washington was beaten by American U. last night for the second time this season, the Colo- nials showed much improvement over their first exhibition against the Methodists. At the half A. U. held only a 21-to-18 lead and later the Colonials came within two points of their opponents at 24 to 22, but as the game waned the Methodists slowly increased their lead. Capt. LaFavre and Schloss, each of whom scored 12 points, were aces of the A. U. offense, while Snow, who registered a total of 13 points, and Allshouse and Fine were most consist- ent on attack for the Colonials. In a preliminary George Washington Freshmen drubbed American University Junior Varsity, 31 to 9. Jeweler and Castell each scored 12 points to head the winners’ attack.

Let us first repeat that play so you will not have to look it up. No. 4, a guard, taking the rebound starts up court dril . As No. 1 reaches his corner with an opponent between him and the basket, guard No. 5, him at top speed, turns in past No. 1 toward the basket. As 5 passes 1, No. 1 runs in a half circle around him and taking a pass from No. 4, takes a shot at the basket. No. 1's opponent is blocked out of the play by No. 5 passing him as No. 1 breaks clear. Often a basket is missed. As No. 1 shoots for this one from the near side, & high push shot, he races on past the basket to get the rebound, should the ball go on over. Mean- time, No. 2, covered by his opponent, rushes under the basket to clear the way for No. 1. ‘When No. 1 gets such a rebound he is in a part of the court that is clear. He immediately dribbles out a pace or two and then turns and tries a that is, to the original point of con- tact wi‘h the floer. hook shot for the basket.

Only one contest is carded tomor- row, but eight are booked Friday and four more Saturday. Western gained second place in the public high basket ball championship series by defeating Business, 26 to 22, yesterday in the Tech gym. Central triumphed over Eastern, 23 to 22, in the other match of the double header that ended the series which was won by Tech last week. In other games yesterday Gonzaga defeated Georgetown Prep, 32 to 22, in the Gonzaga gym; Alexandria High bowed to University of Maryland Freshmen, 15 to 51, at College Park, and Friends downed St. Alban’s, 36 to 17, in the Epiphany Church gym.

Prep School League games between Gonzaga and St. John's and Emerson and Devitt in the Boys' Club gym were to feature this_afternoon’s schoolboy floor card here. In other matches East- ern was to meet Alexandria High at Alexandria. Tech was to entertain Woodward in the Tech gym and Dev- itt’s lightweights were to meet St. Al- ban’s in Devitt's gym. Tech is to meet Catholic University Freshmen tonight at Brookland in the preliminary to the C. U.-Fordham Varsity game. Both Western and Eastern deserved to win their public high title games yesterday. Western was pressed all the way, but had the better of it especially in the late going. Central, continuing to show improved form, really held more of an advantage over Eastern than the score would indicate. ‘Western’s win gave it a serles record of five wins against three defeats to finish second, and Eastern's defeat sent the Light Blue and White to third place at four wins and as many de- feats. Business finished fourth with three victories against five defeats, and Central, which won the title last-year, :“ at the “,}’,fi?‘fix of tthe heap with wo_wins setbacks. .::l Eastern, 5 to 2, at the end of the first/quarter yester- day, but the Lincoln Parkers contrived to tle the score at the half, 6 to 6. Goals from scrimmage by Lampson and Cross soon after the start of the sec- ond half put Central ahead to stay, though its margin was menaced, espe- cially in the last minutes. Capt. Ted Capelli, Eastern, was fouled just as the whistle ended the game. Had he made on both his shots Eastern could have tied the score at 23-all. He regis- tered second. Capt. Ken Fisher, Lampson and Cross played best for Central, with Arthur Zahn showing to particular advantage for Eastern. As indicative of the fight Business gave Western most of the way, the score at the end of the first quarter in their game was 5 to 4 in Business’ favor, and Western was in the van, 12 to 10, at the half. Western then maintained an the Stenogs kept within striking dis= tance until the final whistle. : Jim Thompson and Goubeau were high scorers for Western, which was laying without its clever center, Bob man.

Once the championship cam- paign gets under way their con- versation is circumscribed by the inexorable standing of the teams, but in the off season they are free to indulge in flights of fancy and express as opinions thoughts which really are merely hopes. There probably have been in- stances where base ball mag- nates, by resolute exhibitions of will power, have refrained from giving voice to their fond expectations, but a majority simply cannot resist the temp- tations to paint their rose- tinted aspirations in words. That the present idle period is no_exception to the general rule has been made apparent to District diamond addicts by W. P. Johnson’s avowed plan to utilize the speed possessed by such of his hirelings as Myer, Bluege, Stewart, Goslin, West, Barnes and Rice to convert the 1929 Griffmen into an outfit of base-stealing terrors. And Wal- ter’s case is but one of many. There is, for instance, that of Stanley Harris, who has pulled up stakes here to transfer his activities to Detroit. He has tackled his new job with an en- thusiasm that bodes ill for the clubs that must contend with the Bengals this year, and al- though he has quite a job on his hands in revamping them does not hesitate to express confidence in the outcome. Says Bucky: “Roy Johnson is going to be the best young outflelder in the Ameri- can League.” No ifs, ands or buts there—just a plain, straight-from- _the - shoulder prediction about a player he never has seen and whose success as a major leaguer is essen- tial to bolster one of his most un- certain departments, “Yes, we can spare Heilmann from the outfield,” Harris adds. “He is an ezperienced first baseman. No, it won’t spoil Dale Alexander to have him on the bench a year to gain ex- perience. He will help the club as a pinch Ritter, and he'll get plenty of work.” But, Bucky concludes by way of indicating he is not lacking in the element of caution, “we will not make any final decision on third base until we are at the Spring camp.” Women in BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

He has been active in sports circles here several years. Eastman |- Harris still may be accouuted young in the game, although he has just finished a five-year term as pilot here, but as evidence that years are not an influencing factor in Win- ter chatter consider the example furnished by Roger Thorpe Peckin- paugh, likewise an ex-National, who got his big league baptism nearly two decades ago.

Hails From Coast. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. ALIFORNIA, how do you breed them? Sabin Carr of the State of Iowa and of Yale the fashion set by Tristram Speaker may cause him some concern, but he has a hunch that Porter from Bal- timore and Averill from San Fran- cisco will plug these holes, and to hear him tell it his infield is giving him no concern. Peck speaking: “There is no reason in the world why Hodapp can’t play first base. He is a good third basecman and a slashing ~ hitter. We know that Tavener can play shortstop and we know Lind can play second. He was as good a second baseman as the league had last year, and he will im= prove. And we all know that Joe Sewell can play third. “All these men are seasoned play- ers. It isn’t as though we were putting a raw youngster in an im- portant spot. And if anything hap- pens we have Lew Fonseca, who can play first, second or third, and w: :'a.n always send Sewell back to short.” Peck is inclined to soft-pedal a bit on the prospect for adequate pitch- ing, but to compensate for any doubts on that score the old Winter impulse toward optimism impelled him to state, “I wish I was as sure of the pitching as I am of the hit- ting. We're going to HIT.” Then, as clinching evidence of the virus with which base ball moguls become inoculated during the “off” months, consider Bob Quinn, presi- dent of the Boston club, as a speci- men. Quinn was a seasoned base ball magnate through years of con- tact with the game in the American Association before he plunged Into the big show at St. Louis, where his success with the Browns was indif- Jerent to the point of non-existence. Also it is_ fairly well established that having bossed a tail-ender ever since he moved to the Hub, Quinn has as much justification as any- body for taking an optimistic slant at things, but he not oniy places himself on record as predicting that the Red Sox will make a lot of pitchers suffer, he goes further: “They've got to make a place for us in the first division.. I don't care which clubs fall out, or how many, but they've got to find a place for us,” asserts Quinn. How’s that for optimism? Sport at '8 o'clock. This is the only league game listed this evening.

Bingham. He said he had several foot ball conferences with Head Coach Ar- nold Horween in St. Louis. Horween, Bingham said, will come to Cambridge to take charge of the Spring work. d ot by hol @ University, the champion pole vaulter, with a record of 14.1, | | has gone out into the world, but his | successer is right at hand. He hails from Los Angeles, but he wears the blue of Eli Yale. His name is Frederick H. Sturdy and before this year is ended qualified critics—Al Mc~ Gall, who developed Sabin Car and Sturdy, for one—believe that he will have established a new altitude. Last Thursday night at the St. | Joseph's games, at the Newark Armory —his first time out this season—he sailed over the stick at a height of 13.7 His first time out, mind you! There is more than a possibility that later in the season, probably at the na= tional indoor championship meet, he | will do 14 feet. Al McGall thinks ha will. McGall is the man who smoothed him off, who developed other stars at Yale and last season was let go by ths | Yale Athletic Association for reasons, as far as the writer has been able to learn, of internal policy. { At’ the Los Angeles High School Sturdy_learned to pole vault and came East with a lot of knowlegde his speciality. But he needed devels opment and he had certain individuals istic notions which made him hard to train. But he conquered himself, jusg as he is conquering altitudes. As a freshman he did 11 feet—hope= ful but not completely inspiring. OR second thought, a freshman who weighs 150 pounds and is 6 feet tall who turn8 in 11 as a starter is apt to catch the eve of a watchful coach. Certainly, the West Coast youngster caught Mc= Gall's eye. In sophomore year he did 12 feet 8 inches. He attained 13 feet in 1928, his junior year, and last week, as said, he hit a dazzling 13.7 in his first meet. Sturdy weighs 155 pounds now and stands 6 feet 2 inches in his gyl socks. ‘This gives him an extraordinary natural advantage in the way of reac Sabin Carr, as will be recalled. weig] tlf)‘lk} pounds and was 5 feet 10 inc all. ~ A great contender, Sturdy.
