SP HIGH, PREP TEAMS PERFORM NOTABLY Tech and Devitt Shine as Leaders—Basketers to Play Tomorrow. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, Jr. T was some season! Yes, sir, there were plenty of thrills provided by the 1929 scholas- tic foot ball campaign in the Dis- trict area which ended Saturday. In both public high and prep school circles game after game was packed with drama. There were stirring long runs to touchdowns, sparkling forward passes, interception of passes as sparkling and all the other things that can happen on a foot ball field to set pulses racing and make hearts sing or bscome &0 much lead, according to the sweep of the battle tide. In the public high group Tech Achieved the title for the second suc- cessive season, sweeping through the series with four straight victories. In the very first game of the champion< ship set the McKinley eleven con- founded critics by conquering Eastern, | 14 to 2. Eastern had been generally | favored to win the crown in the pre- | series reckoning. The boys in Maroon and Gray, however, inexperienced as | they were, played the veteran Lincoln Park eleven off its collective feet. | Tech’s Fine Campaign. Tech then went on to defeat Central, 12 to 6, in & memorable struggle which takes rank as one of the most grueling battles ever fought out between these | dearest foes, and they have staged many stirring_fights. The McKinley team found Western and Business, its other two opponents in the series, easy vic- tims, particularly the former. Tech lost two games outside the series, bowing to Staunton and Stamford. Central had a team that doubtless ‘was nearly as strong as Tech's. East- | ern's eleven showed decided power at| times, but, for the most part, was un- | able to click effectively. Western, | handicapped by lack of material, showed | little at the start of the campaign, but | later, bolstered by additional talent, was a markedly improved team. Busi- ness, with its r material, hardly could have expected to make other than | the decidedly mediocre showing it did. Among the prep schools, especially those which turn out larger teams, the elevens were uniformly strong. Devitt, Gonzaza, Emerson, St. John's and Georgetown Prep all boasted formidable teams. Devitt's Good Record. Devitt's record particularly was im- pressive. Just one game was lost by the eleven, that to Mercersburg at the start of the season. After that game | the nearest the eleven coached by Jim McNamara came to defeat was in tle games played with Newport News High and Georgetown Freshmen. As a fitting climax to its fine season Devitt conquered its old foe, Gonzaga, 12 to 6. McNamara says it was the best team he has ever had at Devitt. Gonzaga lost only one other game in addition to the battle with Devitt, bow- ing to Catholic University Freshmen, 610 24. Emerson had a colorful Against teams in its class the P Street- ers did well. Emerson was host to Baylor School of Chattanooga, Tenn., and turned back the crack Dixie school- boy outfit, 12 to St. Joh: ves. = St. Johir's, with Paull Byrne,“former town sthletic stalwart, coaching for the first time, fought its way out of the gridiron doldrums and enjoyed the best season in several years. The Cadets are all steamed up over the prospects of soon gaining a high place in grid circles hereabouts. % Georgetown Prep also had a good season, topping it off with a 25-8 vic- tory over its keen rival, Newman High, of Lakewood, N. J. Landon, Woodward and St. Albans season. | ORTS Iowa Chief Sizes Up Situation in Verse IOWA CITY, December 9 (). —Dr. H.

The question of reducing the playing season to 169 or 170 playing days, as opposed, to the customary 176 will This reduction would enable the major leagues to close their seasons on September 28 and finish the world avoiding any serious conflict with inter- collégiate foot ball. . This would mean that only 24 Satur- the charts, as against the customary 28, but in ordinary years most of the clubs could do with one Sunday fewer. By the Associated Press.

The Recreation team of Denver, Colo., placed second in the five-mall evens with 2,954. The Old American Shingles quintet of Kansas City was-third. F. Kartheiser of Chicago led the all- events match this morning with 1,929, 1 point more than the seorejof Z. Pucci of Kansas City. Several Keglers, scheduled to bowl today, Were expected to bring strong threats to Kartheiser's supremacy. J. Wilson and F. Kastner of St. Louis were in the van of the two-man teams. Their respectable score of 1,319, after were schools in the prep school class | standing for two days, appeared fairly which were represented by lighter elevens. A new institution, represented on the gridiron for the first time, Landon had a team which played a four-game schedule without making a single sub- stitutfon. It surprised many by de- feating Woodward, 7 to 0, in one of its games. 2 ‘Woodward was unable to win a game but put up & strong fight against all opponents. The Y. M. C. A. school, trying a comeback, was heartened by the season’s results. It expects better things next Fall. St. Albans had the spirit but lacked the material to make a formidable showing. However appreciably better talent will be available in 1930 and the Cathedral school figures to show to better advantage. Frank D. Blackistone and Frederick Willlam Wile, jr, Washington boys, were among those to receive rewards for their work on the foot ball field this Fall at Princeton. Blackistone re- celved a varsity“P* .and Wile an “APA" for having played on the second varsity foot ball team against Yale. Candidates for the Devitt basket ball ther this afternoon for the first time. ts for a good team are encouraging as several players of proved worth are available.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, December §.— The University of Towa, after & 30-year membership in the Western Conference, is cast- ing about for new athletic relationships. Disappointed because its efforts to correct athletic abuses charged failed fo satisfy the faculty committee of the Western Conference, Towa officials, alumni and students today faced a new situation, with plans for national con- quests rather than section honors. The athletic board of the outlawed institu- tion will meet tomorrow to outline a definite_policy. For the second time in its history, & member has left the Big Ten. Where Towa was disbarred, however, effective January 1, 1930, from athletic compe- tition with member schools, Michigan, | in 1908, voluntarily withdrew from the | group because of dissatisfaction over conference rules. Michigan remained out af the conference for nine years, returning in 1917, With recovery from the shock of the knockout blow, Iowa officials hastened | to tell the world that Iowa could have| done nothing more to cleanse itself | without losing its self-respect and went further to hint that other reasons than its lapse of athletic purity had consid- erable to do with the decision of the committee not to restore its former standing. Hints “Gate Receipts” Figured. Dean C. C. Willlams, chairman of the Towa athletic board, sald he was con- vinced -a question of “gate receipts” was somewhere responsible for the com- mittee's action. He said the fact that Jowa's stadium seats only 30,000—small in comparison to the capacity of other | Big Nine schools, with the exception of | Purdue—infiuenced the decision. At a mass meeting yesterday Burton of foot ball and basket ball, respec- | tively, assured the student body that Iowa will have better schedules than ‘before and that the school has no rea- son to be ashamed. Dr. Walter A. Jessup, president of be | the university, issued a vigorous state- ment in commenting upon the question of retaining George E. Bresnahan, track coach. “The faculty has the utmost confi- ‘dence,” he said, “that the Yowa board In control of athletics, under the chair- manship of Dean Willlams, with Dr. ‘Lauer as its administrative officer, will command respect in all questions per- taining to physical education and inter- collegiate athletics. ‘Will Choose Own Staff. “They will have full support in a a:‘ognm calling for vigorous adherence the highest educational standards. [The university thinks first of its own in- tegrity and its responsibility to the State. It never has nor will it ever allow any outside body to dictate the membership of its stafl.” As far as the other members of the conference were concerned, the incident is closed until Towa shall again petition ffor reinstatement, and none of the ‘members of the faculty committee or "O;h]eflc directors had snything to say. INGRAM WILL SPEAK AT G.-W. GRID DINNER Comdr. Bill Ingram, head foot ball coach at ~the -Naval Academy, and Jimmy Driver, University of Virginia di- rector of athletics, will be the principal speakers at a George Washington Uni- versity athletic banquet to be held to- the Mayflower, starting at 8 o'clock. The banquet will be staged under the auspices of the Colonial Club and the ests of honor will be the members of fl;le 1929 varsity and freshman George ‘Washington foot ball teams. An invi- tation to attend has been extended Gov.-elect Pollard cf Virginia, an alumnus of the George Washington Law School, whose son is a student in the same. An interesting guest who also will speak, will be Maj. Gen. Rhodes, U. S. A,. retired, who played foot ball for George Washington from 1881 to 1886 and claims to be the oldest living for- ‘mer Colonial gridironer. Samuel Herrick, prominent Wasing- ton attorney and George Washington alumnus, will act as toastmaster. Letters will be awarded varsity play- ers and numerals freshman players who held forth for George Washington dur- ing the season just closed. This will be the first time in the uni- versity's history that such an elaborate function has been arranged in henor of the foot ball players. It is hoped to hold a similar big affair each year hereafter. Tickets for the banquet may be had at Spalding’s. the Mayflower and at the registrar’s office and Medical School at George Washington.

VON PORAT CHOICE 10 DEFEAT SCOTT Winner of New York Scrap Enters Class Semi-Final in Miami Ring. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 9.—Otto Von Porat of Norway and Phil Scott, the fighting fireman from London, clash in & 12-round bout in }gnd\wn uare Gar- championship of the world. Twenty-four hours before the battle Willlam Muldoon, venerable New York State athletic commissioner and_co- donor with Gene Tunney of the Tun- ney-Muldoon heavyweight champion- ship trophy, announced that so far as he could see there were only three real contenders for the vacant title, Jack Sharkey of Boston, Max Schmeling of Germany and the winner of tonight's bout. In a general review of the heavy- welght _situation, Muldoon outlined plans for two matches, one in Miami in February and the other in New York in September, by which he hoj the throne could be acceptably filled, Under Muldoon’s plan the survivor of tonight's bout would meet Sharkey’ or Schmeling at Miami, with the winner battling Sharkey or Schmeling for the | title in September. Thus, if Sharkey 4 | gets_ the call in February and wins, he would meet Schmeling “in September, and, vice versa, should Schmeling be picked for the Miami flaht‘ At 85 Muldoon wields tremendous power in the boxing game. Because of his position as State commissioner and co-donor of the heavyweight trophy, as well as because of the sheer force of his domlnatlnf rsonality, Muldoon's word carries weight. While he was about it, Muldoon criticized Jimmy Johnston, Scott's manager, for making the Von Porat match. “What we wanted was an interna- tional match between the champions of great nations,” declared the veteran commissioner. “For that reason, I am frank to say that I am sorry tonight's match ever was made. Scott is the recognized champion of England, and England ranks next to us as a great na- o | tion. I felt that Scott qualified for the | finals by his victory over Campolo. “It was not necessary for Scott to meet any one but Sharkey or Schmel- ing to win the title. The big goal for Scott was a match with our champlon, Sharkey.” In the event that Schmeling, who stands suspended in this State at pres- ent, declines to enter the tournament, Muldoon said only one thing could be done. “That will be to recognize the winner of tomorrow night’s fight and Jack Sharkey as the finalists and de- cide the tournament by a bout between them,” he explained. ‘With Muldoon's announcement as an added incentive to fans, and with Jack Dempsey to be the deferee, tonight's card, for the benefit of the Christmas charity fund, should be a sell-out.

Stowaway Quarter Stows Away Game at Honolulu By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, December 9.—Joe Marquette is one stowaway who made good. Two weeks ago when the Pasa- dena Junior College foot ball team salled for the Hawalian Islands for a game with the Kamehameha School of Honolulu, Joe, a third- string quarterback, was dropped from the squad. He had other ideas, however, 50 he stowed away. A touchdown behind and with only three minutes to go in the game played yesterday, Coach Frank Baker cast & worried eye around and spied Joe. “Jump in there, stowaway, and do_your stuff,” he shouted. Marquette landed in a huddle, snapped a signal and tossed a long pass to Cox, who scampered across for a touchdown. lena won, 14 to 13. ANOTHER GRIDIRON BIG SIX IS FORMED Circuit Within a Circuit Organized in Rocky Mountain Sector. By the Associated Press. ENVER, Colo, December 9.— ‘Taking a cue from the “Big Six" of the Missouri Valley Conference, a half-dozen of the 12 schools in the Rocky Mountain Conference—which embraces schools in four States—have consoli- dated their interests to form a circuit within a circuit. The plan was first advanced three years ago, but came to fruition only last week. A deadlock in the negotiations for the 1930 foot ball schedules Friday was circumvented when the six schools, gen- erally regarded as the leading foot ball institutions of the conference, went into a huddle and emerged with their own schedules, with their open dates to be filled in by other teams. ‘The “Big 8ix” is com| d of Denver University, University of Colorado, Uni- versity of Utah, Utah State tur- al College, Colorado College and Colo- rado Aggies. Year in and year out they have given the most impressive vies Clash Tonight Bowlers Usually Dilatory Returning Blanks—Hiser Regains Old Skill. BY R. D. THOMAS.

Wash- 1in| bowlers have been dila- tory entering tournamentsand amajority of the entries are expected during the 1ast week, the deadline being December 21. ‘A number of leagues will enter in a body. Secretaries are on the job get- ting their bowlers in line so they may be scheduled in groups. Some of the loops are levying small ent fees on their members in order to make up pri- vate prize lists to be competed for in the tournament. Earle Stocking, Convention Hall man- ager, has posted a 14-foot sign pro- claiming the big tournament. What's become of Clarence Taft, who won the tournament last year? 1In whatever league he may be shooting he stand out above the dicted that another to fame will win this year.

During the week of December 16 the prizes, 20 for men and 10 for women, will be on display at the Hecht Co. They're all niftles. If the brand of his bowling is evi- dence, Henry Hiser has recovered com- pletely from the near-paralysis that re- sulted from auto injuries last year. Henry's 651 total at anchor for Bethes- da was a blow to Lang's Bowl- Center five of Baltimore, when the suburbanites won a 5-game battle by 171 pins, 2,901 to 2,730. Few sus| the Bethesdans packed a ch like that. Hiser kept up his lant bowl- ing when he and Watson trimmed Lang and Askew in a doubles bout, 711 to 680.

If that time comes, it was said at the meeting last week, a reorganization may be necessary. ‘The powers-thi in the select circle maintain that the new plan—evolved only after a deadlock of 12 hours—is fairer to both the more powerful and fbes the weaker schools in the conference. In brief the new schedule provides resumption of relations between Utah and Denver. Colorado, in order to en- gage Utah late in the season, agreed to play Utnh State. Schedules of Colo- rado College, Colorado Aggies and Utah State are not strikingly different from those of last season. B Other schools in the conference ob- tained fairly good schedules, with ths exception .of Brigham Young University and Montana State. Colorado Mines reduced its schedule. The other members of the conference are University of Wyoming, Colorado Teachers’ College and Western State College (Colorado). MERIDIANS ARE DOWNED BY AZTEC GRIDDERS, 14-0 Aztecs today boast second place in the 125-%0und class of the Capital City Foot Ball League as the result of a 14-0 victory scored yesterday over the Meridians in the final league game of the campaign. P, Joray and Griffin scored the Aztec touchdowns. The former crossed the Meridian goal line on a 25-yard end dash in the second period and Griffin streaked 70 yards in the third period after intercepting a pass to score his touchdown. Brookland Boys' Club eleven won the 125-pound class champlonship several ‘weeks ago. EASTERN STARS SOUGHT.
