SPORTS. 46-FOOT FLOO APPROVED B Coaches Had Insisted Pla R AT TECH Y PRINCIPALS ying Field 50 Feet Wide Be Used for Championship Basket Ball Series. Business, Landon A nnounce Schedules. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, J. ESPITE objections of several coaches, the public high school championship basket ball s eries, which starts January 7, will be played on a Tech High court 46 feet in width. Permanent seats which have been installed in the Tech gym project 17 feet from both sides, which, with a court of 50 feet in width, would leave a clearance of approximately ever, several coaches objected to making the court less than 50 feet wide, their action being influence only three feet on each side. How- d, at least to some extent, it is | thought, by the belief that a smaller court would enable the zonc defense systemi of play employed by thé Tech team to function more effectively. Principals of the schools, howe ver, upon being informed by Tech authorities that the new seats could not be arranged so as to provide more space, voted in favor of the 4 one of the principals that they wan 6-foot court. It was explained by t to have as wide a court as possi- ble, but, in view of the circumstances, the principals felt that they could not insist upon a 50-foot cou: Just before the end of play in the first round of the champion- ship series last Winter the princi- pals ignored the recammendation that Tech, with four wins in as many starts, and which was lead- ing the series, be ordered to replay three of its four games because the Tech floor, scene of the series games, was not as large as had been originally agreed upon. The principals. however, ordered that the width of the Tech court be in- creased from 45 to 50 feet. At the time Tech officials explained that the | court had to be narrowed to permit | Jroperseating accomodations and to | eave room for a running track. Tast season temporary bleacher seats b-lnging to Eastern High were used in the Tech gym. They projected only 13 | fect from either side of the hall, leaving | considerable room on either side of the | court. ‘Two foot ball games involving teams of the District scholastic group were | carded this afternoon to bring the grid- iron season to a close for the school- boys. and two basket ball games in which scholastic quints of this area are to_figure are listed tonight.

EW YORK, December 7.—V’hen the champion Pittsburgh foot * ball team lines up against Southern ~California in Rose Bowl at Pasadena on New Year day the Panther eleven will be seeking the second victory for a strictly Eastern invader in the history of this post-season classic. Atlantic seaboard teams have figured in no fewer than seven of the 13 Pasa- dena conflicts to date, but have only Harvard’s 7-to-6 victory over Oregon on January 1, 1920, to match against de- feats for Brown, Pennsylvania, Penn Washington and Jefferson and the Navy. ‘The East was last represented at Pasa- ed Pittsburgh eleven was shaded, 7 to 6, by Stanford. The Panthers wel- comed the chance to return to the Cali- fornia front this season, hoping to de- feat Southern California by a more convincing margin than Notre Dame's 13-to-12 triumph at Chicago last month. The Trojans face a regularly scheduled game against another Pittsburgh eleven next week, when Carnegie Tech will be seen in the Coliseum. Pittsburgh halted the Plaid by 34 to 13. Of the four major sections of the United States, the South leads in the Pasadena classic with two victories and a tie in three appearances. The Middle ‘West stands next with two victories and one defeat—triumphs for Michigan and Notre Dame against a reverse for Ohio State, The home defenders of the Pacific slope have done no better than five vic- tories, five defeats and three ties in the es.

The slight slide of hips to the right and the gradual taking back of the club with a straight left arm that makes the club and arm work as one causes the pivot in golf. The pull of the left shoulder coming around—it does not come down and around—brings the left hip around as well. That causes the left knce to break. That is Johnny Farrell's back- swing. But where does it end? J THE. STRAIGHT LEFT ARM That is a pertinent question, for few golfers who are not keen students of the game can answer it. ‘The finish of the straight left arm backswing is at the point sketched above. That is about as far as any one can take a club back without bending the arm. But it is not the finish of the backswing. Another factor now enters the swing_—the wrists. How they finish the back- swing will be shown in the next article. Enjoy the thrill of long, straight drives. Write Sol Metzger, care of this paper, for free leaflet on driving.

HOYA BASKET QUINT OPENS PLAY TONIGHT | Georgetown University's basket ball |team will open its season tonight, en- tertaining Gettysburg College in the American University gym. It will be the first game of the court campaign for a college five of the District group and is expected to start about 8:30 o'clock. In a preliminary game George- town Freshmen will play host to Cen- tral High at 7:15 o'clock. It also will be_the Hoya cubs’ opener. Every regular from last Winter's Hoya quint is at hand, but Bill Dudack, who has replaced Elmer Ripley, now head Yale court mentor, as the G. U. coach, plans to start only three of this bunch. The veterans who will start are Maurice McCarthy and Freddy Mesmer, guards, and Don Dutton, cen- ter. Hal Meenan, forward, and Paul Dillon, center, other regulars of a cam- paign ago, will be kept on the sidelines for emergency duty. Walter Morris, who prepped at St. John’s here, and Bill Shea. both re- serves last season, will begin at for- wards. Should Gettysburg fail to provide close competition, Georgetown probably will use many reserves, including Dick King, Kip Callan, “Coin” Maloney and Mark Flanagan. SEEK BASKET FOE.

Gallagher on Card. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 7.—The Otto von Porat-Phil Scott fight looms as one of the most im- portant of the year, but there appears to be grave danger that another heavyweight will steal the spotlight at the charity boxing show in Madison Square Garden Monday night. Announcement that Jack Dempsey will referee the big bout has started a big boom in ticket sales for the show, arranged for the benefit of the Christ- mas fund, of which Mrs. William Ran- dolph Hearst is chairman. Dempsey was granted a referee’s license by the New York State Athletic Commission yesterday. Immediately officials of the charity show announced he would be the third man in the ring for the Von Porat-Scott battle, although a regulation of the State commission forbids the designation of a referee be- fore he steps into the ring to work. Both Von Porat and Scott have de- clared Dempsey's selection as referee is agreeable to them. Von Porat, one of the hardest hitters among the heavy- weights, probably will be a slight fa- vorite over Scott when they step into the ring. The tall Norwegian has been learning fast, and many observers give him as good a chance as any to capture the vacant heavyweight title. He will be meeting one of the fastest and cleverest men in the division in Scott, who gave the experts a jolt when he administered a boxing lesson to the giant Argentine, Victorio Campolo, dur- ing the Summer campaign. ° Not a particularly dangerous puncher, Scott depends largely upon an educated left hand for his success. Barring first fight in the United States, when Knute Hansen floored him seven times before knocking him out, Scott has given a great account of himself in this country. Granting that he can avoid the ter- rific punches Von Porat will shoot at him, there appears to be no reason why he should not beat the Norwegian on points. If he does, a “shot” against Jack Sharkey at Miami Fel may be his reward. over the 12-round route. Maxie Rosenbloom, the clown of the light heavyweights, tackles Yale Okun of New York in the 12-round semi-final. George Hoffman, New York heavy- weight, takes on Marty Gallagher of Washington in a 10-rounder. Two fours complete the card, with Jerry Pavelec battling Raul Bianchi of the Argentine and Bill Daring meeting Ed Steele, one of Scott’s sparring mates. —_— Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 7.—Less than a year ago Maxie Rosenbloom and Yale Okun were considered fair to middling boxers and safe enough for topnotchers to meet without undue danger of an upset. That has all been changed. ‘Whether for better or worse depends a gobd deal on the attitude of the fans toward their style of milling. Rosenbloom, the perpetual motion man of the ring, and Okun, a cagey counter-boxer, does not shape up as an appealing bout on paper. But the fact that both men have abandoned their seeming disinterest in ring affairs and are now trying to add fame and for- tune to their possessions presages a hot duel Monday evening, when they meet over the 12-round route at Madison Square Garden to decide a momentous question as to which one of the pair continues in the running to succeed Tommy Loughran as the light-heavy- weight title holder. Rosenbloom’s stock took a drop when Jimmy Slattery edged over a win on the slapstick artist. Rosey has beaten Jimmy before, and when it comes to a showdown Slats, in shape, can pretty near whip any 175-pounder in the world. It will be recalled that Jimmy beat Rosenbloom at Hartford and in so doing won the designation of the Na- tional Boxing Association as light- heavyweight, and Loughran was com- pelled to fight Slats before Tommy's = S, FOOT BALL CHAMPION GETS ERSKINE AWARD A silver trophy, emblematic of the national collegiate foot ball champion- ship, will be awarded the team selected by the Albert Russel Erskine foot ball award committee as 1929 gridiron champions.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 7—Leo Diegel, the champion, played like one all day yesterday and left me standing on the short sixteenth green with no place to go but home, or I should say back to the hotel. | Leo and I had a great match which gave the largest gallery I have ever seen in Southern California many thrills, and he beat me, 3 and 2. ‘To sum it up quickly, Leo output- ted me on the Hillcrest greens, and for this he won his way into the finals of the championship, where today he will mget Johnny Farrell. Johnny defeated Al Watrous by 6 and 5. He was playing well and will be a worthy opponent for Leo for the title. Diegel still is playing the best golf of any professional now in Cali- fornia. I said this when I arrived here more than three weeks ago and have no cause to change my mind. He is keyed up to a high pitch and should be the favorite ove? Johnny. (Copyright, 1929, by North American Newspaper Alliance.) Winner of Bout Monday in Cleveland May Be Given Fight With Sharkey. BY JOHN J. ROMANO. EW YORK, December 7.—A match of considerable impor- tance in the heavyweight class is on tap Monday evening in Cleveland when John ki meets Ernie Schaaf of Boston in a 10 rounder. Both men are flirting for the Miami engagement with Jack Sharkey, as are Phil Bcott and Otto von Porat, who meet the same evening in this city. According to the dope, the man who shows up best out of this quartet will be in line for the Sharkey go. Risko is back again after a remark- able comeback. A bruising fight with . O. Christner and a knockout over Jimmy Maloney re-established John's worth as a front-rank battler. One thing the fans like about Risko is that he is in there trying all the time and no one yet has heard John alibi himself after a loss. Risko shoots the works every time he answers the bell, and if he is on the short end it means that he was not just good enough that particular evening. Ernie Has Class. Risko has a defeat chalked against him by the man he faces Monday eve- ning. Schaaf punched his way to a clear win over John in Boston and in so doing placed himself on record as the most promising youngster to come up in years. A hard battle against Tommy Loughran, a win against Jack Renault and knockouts over Murray Gitlitz and J]lck Gagnon is a tip-off on Ernie’s class, No less a personage than Max Schmeling decided that Schaaf was not one to be trified with as the Boston garden holds a contract signed by Schaaf. ‘That agreement still awaits fulfillment by the German fighter. Both Risko and Schaaf still are in the running for the huv{we!aht crown, and Monday's result will have a good deal to do with the final summary. Neither man can be denied as their records warrant consideration. With this in mind Risko and Schaaf can be depended upon to put up a corking good scrap. . GLICK NEARLY 0OUT, LOSING TO GROGAN By the Assoclated Pre SAN FRANCISCO, December 7.— Tommy Grogan of Omaha had risen a notch nearer the lightweight summit today as the result of a decisive victory over the veteran Joe Glick of Brooklyn. Grogan won a decision over Glick in 10 rounds here last night. Glick staged as nervy a comeback as ever was shown in a ring when he took the tenth round after being down for the count of nine in the preceding frame. His rally, however, was not suf- ficlent to overcome the lead compiled by Grogan early in the bout. ‘The Nebraskan was given the first three and the eighth and ninth rounds. The sixth and seventh were even. The blow that dropped Glick to the canvas “for nine seconds was a left to the jaw. Grogan's left hooks sent Glick into frequent clinches, where he was mcst effective. Grogan weighed 138'5, Glick 138. In a preliminary bout Charlie Cobb of Houston, Tex., stopped Omar Wright, Omaha, in the fourth round of their 10-round bout. Wright was down for the second time when the bout was stopped. The two are welterweights, DE LUXE FIVE WINS.

G. A. Meet—Watrous Is Trimmed, 6 and 5. BY PAUL B. ZIMMERM, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, December 7.—The great conjurer of the links, Leo Dicgel, whose swinging clubs, as magic -wands, carried him through to triumph over Waiter Hagen yesterday, will pit his skil against the threat of Smiling Johnny Farrell today in the final match of his Pror:umml Golfers’ Association tourna- ment. Farrell will be seeking his first P. G. A. crown on the trying Hillerest courss which saw the championship hopes of both the great Haig and his fellow townsman from Dstroit, Al Watrous, lost in the yawning traps and on the treacherous greens. ‘The professional from New York, open champion in 1928, will attempt to do what P. O. Hart, Wheeling, W. Va.; Herman Barron and Gene Sarazen of the Metropolitan district failed to ac- complish in the first three rounds. ‘While the fitful putting of the great Haig had much to do with yesterday's defeat on the thirty-fourth green, 3 and 2, the fact that fate dealt kindly with Diegel contributed largely to Sir Walter’s downfall, his second in four P. G. A. meetings with “Larruping Leo.” ‘That the Agua Caliente professional was ready to make the best of the breaks, however, cannot be denied. Loses at Putting. The five times holder of the national crown watched the inimitable Diegel hole long putts when his own attempts failed by inches. This told the story. Hagen's drives were more consistent, whfle the pair took turns placing their approach shots close to the pin. A lead of one up as they went to ;h; Q six for Hagen when the champion's approach, headed for a sand trap, was deflected by the heel of one of the 5,000 members of the gallery, sending it back into the fairway. Diegel won the hole with a par four. From that moment on to the finish, the British open champion trailed, although his late rallies on the 22d and 23d, and again in the closing mo- ments of the match, threatened to unnerve his opponent. Cool and calculating, Hagen step- g:d to the 34th tee, two down snd ree to play’ after winning the 33d with a birdie three. But a receptive sand trap took his iron shot on the short hole and Diegel, sensing victory, laid his ball within five feet of the pin, advantage too much for the great Halg to overcome. Diegel Still Under Par. In winning, Diegel continued the sub-par game which has marked his entire glny of the tourney. Starting off with a 140 to take second honors in the qualifying round, the Baja, Calif., professional set a new competi- tive course record for a 64 medal, five under par the following day against Hart. In downing Sarazen he medaled 71 _and again yesterday a 68. Watrous cracked during his after- noon round with Farrell, going to the 27th eight down, to losz 6 and 5 after a rally on the 29th and 30th. The Smiling Beau Brummel from New York led the morning round 2 up. Farrell's golf has not matched that of Diegel in the matter of medal play, but this has been more than equaled by his undying determination. ~After qualifying with a 148 card, the for- mer open title holder bested John Gold- :x;. Paterson, N. J, 1 up, medaling a He took Henry Culci of Bridgeport, Conn,, 2 and 1, following this with-a 1 l.x trluutlg:l over Craig Wood of New Yo dNvm $7th green in the third roun BUSINESS HIGH FIVE HELPED BY ALUMNI Alumni of Business certainly are doing their part to get the Stenog basket ball team ~in shape for the coming public high school championship series. The Old Boys have already played the un- dergraduates twice this season and in each game have given them the most spirited sort of competition. On both occasions, however, the Alumni have been beaten by close scores. Yesterday they lost 22 to 25, after a valiant last-half attempt to overcome_the school team. Capt. Natie Newman, forward, and Spencer Chase, center ,did some nifty basket sniping for the winners, while Bernie Jones and Leafsky did most of the losers’ scoring.
