Having shown marked improvement as the season has progressed the Colon- {als, who have yet to win a game, are hopeful of breaking the ice at the ex- pense of the West Virginians, although the going is sure to be tough. Georgetown's quint, which nosed out New York A. C. in Gotham last night, 27 to 26, will seek revenge on New York University for a beating suffered earlier in the season in the Yale tourney. Gallaudet, which downed Old Do- minion Boat Club last night at Ken- dall Green, 58 to 21, and Maryland. which lost an interesting game to North Carolina at College Park, 22 to 28, will be idle this evening, as will American U. and Catholic U., the other local rep- resentatives in the District collegiate ranks.

Satterfield, speedy and elusive little ‘Tarheel forward, was the balance of power in North Carolina’s victory over Maryland. He tossed in seven baskets from scrimmage, the majority of them from well outside. He never shot un- less he had time to “get set,” and he made good in 75 per cent-of his tries. It was a fast game, in which the passing and general floor work was well above the average. Maryland used eight players and each of them scored two or more points.

Umpire—Mr. Mu Gallaudet got Jittle more than a good BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer, Rowing supremacy for the present has passed to the Golden Bears of California, but the University of ‘Washington stands oiit this season more clearly than before as the in- comparable cradle of coaches who can teach men how to row. With the appointment of “Mike” Murphy as head coach at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin to succeed the late “Dad” Vail, the coaching prod- ucts of Washington come close to blanketing the entire country. They have a mornopoly in the Far ‘West with Al Ulbrickson, the coun- try’'s youngest head rowing coach, hoiding the tiller at the mother institution at Seattle, and “Ky” Ebright, the former Washington coxswain, directing the destinies of the world champion Golden Bears. With Murphy holding forth at the only rowing college in the Middle West, the Washington monopoly covers that territory as well. 8 In the East the Washingtonians almost hold their own, with Ed Leader at Yale, “Chick” Logg at Princeten and “Rusty” Callow at Pennsylvania. In all, the Washington group of head coaches numbers six, which is exattly half the total in the entire [T "MIKE “MURPHY AT vnsEonsin mGHT ‘CHUCK ™ LOGG AT PRINCETON. country. It remains to be seen whether the number will increase or whether the vogue for a coach from Seattle has reached its peak. It would be logical now to look to Cali- fornia for coaches provided the uni- versity of the Golden State can fol- low up its dazzling debut in the championship class with a record of consistency comparable with that established by the oarsmen of Wash- ington. At the opening of the 1929 sea- son the only institutions in the country without a Washington- trained head coach are Harvard, Navy, Syracuse, Columbia, Cornell and Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. It was Leader, fittingly enough, who led the Washington parade of coaches toward the east. The silent and grim appearing Yale mentor was a three-letter man at Washing- ton, playing end on the foot ball team, pitching on the nine and row- ing No. 2 for three years. After be- coming head crew coach at Wash- ington in 1918 he waxed so suc- cessful that Yale procured his serv- ices for 1923 and thereafter. Callow, who followed ILeader at Washington, won three victories at Poughkeepsie before Penn signed him up for the s=ason of 1928. He, Half of Coaches of Leading Collegiate Crews Are Products of University of Washington Ky “ EBRIGHT AT CALIFORNIA too, was a notable oarsman as an undergraduate, having been captain of the 1915 eight. Ebright is the only one of the six who did not actually pull an oar, handling the tiller instead. He coxed and served as assistant coach at Washington from 1913 to 1917 and upon the resignation of Coach Ben Wallis in 1921 became head coach at California. i Logg, who still has the aspect of a college senlor, served his appren- ticeship as assistant coach at Prince- ton in the season of 1925 and the next year was moved up to full control. Ulbrickson, the youngest of them all at his present age of 26, rowed four years under Callow, winding it up with a championship victory at Poughkeepsie in 1926, when he was captain and stroke oar., oThe 30-year-old Murphy, young- est in point of head coaching serv- ice and one of the best as an oars. man, went to Yale from Washing ton in 1923 to coach the Eli fresh- men under Leader.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 9—Two more hurdles to be vaulted and ‘ Kinrey Matsuyama, courageous little Japanese, will be the 18.2 balkline billiards champion of the world. He came from behind to nose out Eric Hagenlacher, the unemotional German, 400 to 385, last night and keep his record in the round-robin tourna- mient unmarred by defeat. Matsuyama holds a commanding po- sition at the top of the standing with three straight victories and but two more matches to play. These last two engagements may well be his undoing, for he must pit his skill against the two American contenders, Welker Coch- ‘an and young Jake Schaefer. Matsuyama seemed doomed to quick and decisive defeat in the opening in- ning of his match with Hagenlacher. The German, in great form, tallied 119 | caroms in his first inning and 115 in | his second to lead by 234 to 43. But after those two long runs Hagenlacher’s game dropped off, and the little Jap- anese, 4 féet 11 inches tall and weigh- | ing only 92 opunds, kept plugging away without much success. Thus matters continued to the tenth inning, when Matsuyama broke away on his longest run of the tournament, 110, and brought | the score to 331 to 314 against him. | Two more innings of careful billiards | brought the ‘score to 385 to 332. Faced with almost certain defeat, the | Japarese came to the table for the | thirteenth inning, gathered the balls | together and skilifully nursed along his | string until he reached 53 to tie Hagen- lacher’s total and then went on to | stretch his string to 68 and game. It was the finest exhibition of courage and skill under stress that the tourna- ment has seen. Matsuyama’s victory left Cochran and | Edouard Horemans, the Belgian, de~| | fending title holder, tied for second place, with two victories and one defeat | cach. Schaefer has won one and lost {one.

CHICAGO, February 9.—After al- most a month's idleness, Michigan’s basketers return to the hardwoods to- night to defend their lead in the tight Big Ten basket ball championship race. ‘The Wolverines, who handed Big Ten basket ball a surprise package this sea- son by smashing their way to the pin- nacle with four straight victories, tangle with Ohio State at Ann Arbor in the headline attraction of a three- card. Indiana invades Iowa and Yuinois tackles Chicago's downtrodden oup here in the other conference skirmishes. What effect the long period of in- activity will have on the Wolverines caused much speculation today, inas- much as'a victory for Ohio State would topple Michigan into third place and shove Wisconsin and Purdue, now dead- locked for second place with 5 victories and 1 defeat, into a tie for first place.

FEATHER PROBLEM S STILL INSOLVED Taylor’s Fouling of Singer in New York May Mean Another Match. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 9.—An un- intentional foul blow, struck by the blonde puncher fro Terre Haute, Bud Taylor, has contrived to throw the cur- rent featherweight elimination tourna- ment into a muddle. The foul, coming in the midst of a rally, ended Taylor’s 10-round battle with young Al Singer of New York's East Side in the fourth round at Mad- ison Square Garden last night. The blow dropped Singer to the canvas in agony and Referee Patsy Haley could do nothing but stop the fight and award the decision to Singer. In view of the unsatisfactory ending of a promising slugging match there is & possibility that the men will be re- matched. The bout had been planned as a means of developing an opponent for Tony Canzoneri with the ultimate survivor to get a “shot” at the 126- pound crown now worn by Andre Routis of France. The fight was all even when Taylor’s left hook, his best weapon, dropped into foul territory. Singer, a fast and clever boxer, had held his own with the slug: ging Taylor in the first three rounds. The East Sider earned the edge in the first round when he clipped the blonde Midwesterner on the chin with one ter- rific right and had him in distress at the bell. Taylor came back in the sec- ond round, spattered Singer’s body with a rain of left hooks, but took enough punishment in return to make the round all even. Singeér's defense failed in the face of ‘Taylor’s panther-like rushes in the third round and the Middle Westerner took the session by a shade. The fourth round was 52 seconds old when the bout was stopped. Singer, scaling 127!, had a pound and a half advantage in the weights. A capacity crowd of close to 20,000 saw the battle.
