SCHOOLS WELL EQUIPPED FOR COURT TITLE SERIES Business Expects to Have Exceptionally Capable Quint on Floor—Prep Fives Active—Swimmers at Central Busy—Clashes Tomorrow. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. BIG basket ball season for sch From the enthusiasm manifest at the start the campaign 1s going to prove & wow in every way. More and better teams A is the slogan, it appears. All indications are for one of series ever staged here. oolboys of the District area looms. the best public high school title Every one of the five schools will be repre- sented by a fine quint in the championship set, which begins January 7, according to the outlook. Four of the teams already have shown their wares in formal competition advantage. Western, runner-up in the and each has appeared to decided series race last season; Central, East- ern and Business all have seen formal action. Tech alone has to play a regular game a stalwart five on the floor. Business, which has been a long- suffering doormat for other teams in all sports, looms as a sure-fire contender in the championship! series. So far the Stenogs have played four games and in each have been returned victorious. In drubbing Strayer, 50 to 14, Monday, Busi- ness looked particularly sweet, as it was Strayer which gave Central a great fight recently before suc- cumbing to the Blue and White, 24 to 29. Business has a seasoned bunch in Capt. Natie Newman and Bobbie Lucas. forwards; Spencer Chase, center, and Pete Loftus and Milton Singman, guards, and also has other capable boys on its roster. Coach Lynn Woodworth and everybody else at Business now is praying that the basketers can make the grade scholastically. If all or most of them can keep up in their studies Business doubtless will give all its op- ponents plenty trouble. Losses through scholastic failures long have proved the bane of Woodworth's existence at Busi- ness, but he is hopeful that this sea son will be an exception in this respect. He will get more of a line on the sit- uation next Monday when the advisory marks are out. ‘Western has lost a group of stalwarts by graduation, but has several tossers on the job who had shown worth, and if Coach Cliff Moore, who handled the boys in red so successfully last Winter in his first fling as their court mentor, does not lose too many because .of scholastic difficulties it is hard to figure Western other than as a strong title contender. In its only game so far Western handed Hyatfsville High a 32-3 wallop- ing on the Marylanders' floor. g members of the Western squad include Captain Jimmy Thomp- son, Anthony Latona, John Eaton, Roy Yowell, Everett. Buscher and Milton Chatlin, forwards; Bob Freeman, center, and Dos Hatfield, Joe Summers, Sam Taylor, Paul Amidon and Paul Chatlin, guards. Central has shown power in its games to date and it would not be surprising to see Coach Bert Coggins' boys knock- ing at the title door this season. Some of the boys Coggins is counting upon include Lynn Woodward, Henry Broadbent and Frank Cumberland, for- wards; Donald DeVeau, Downey Rice. | centers, and Stanley Parkins, Wilbur | Cross, Joe DeLisio and Russell Lamp- son, guards. | = | ‘Though Eastern has lost its only start to date, bowing to St. Mary's Celtics last Saturday, at Alexindria, 33 to 37, the Light Biue and White has several tossers on its squad who are bang-up performers, and Coach Charley Guyon's entry doubtless can be figured as a stout opponent for just about. any scholastic quint in this section. Capt. Jimmy Ryan, Barney Kane, Kenny Finneran, forwards; Bill Noonan, center, and Danny Kessler, Ralph Buc- ca, Joe Robey, Ben Zola and Billy Wells, guards, and Ben McCullough, forward or guard, are some of the lead- | ing members of the Light Blue and ‘White squad. Tech 15 pinning_its hopes on Everett Johnson, Everett Russell, Jimmy Reed, | Talburtt Lassise and Carroll Shore, for- wards; Mal Johns. center, and Tom | Wilson, Capt. Carl MacCartee and | Sklar, guards. In the prep school group Emerson, Devitt, Gonzaga, St. John's, St. Albans, Woodward, Friends, Landon, Strayer and Bliss are represented on the court and most of them are confident of suc- cessful campaigns. Emerson’s stalwarts include Ken Fisher, Bill Albert, Bob West and Ed- die Scanlon, forwards; Jack Forney, center, and Ellet Cabell and Jakie | Lewis, guards. Though Devitt has lost some good talent it has several seasoned perform- ers at hand, and is confident of show- | ing to advantage. This also goes for | Gonzaga. Eugene Augusterfer and Buddy Gal- lagher, forwards: Roger Cooper, center, and Bob Quigley and Capt. Andrew Morris, guards, are among St. John's stalwarts. St. Albans feels that in Walter Chiles and Eddie Crouch, forwards: David Dougherty, . center, and Willett Denit, Bits Chesley and Ned Weedon, guards, and John McG‘ee‘. foward or guard, it has good material. Woodward, Friends, Landon, Strayer and Bliss ail boast players of ability and are hopeful of good seasons. Emerson, Strayer and Bliss are the | only schools of the prep school group | %o see formal competition so far. Emer- won and Bliss both appeared to possess Power and, while Strayer has not made 7% auspicious start, having lost three games in as many starts, it js hopeful of showing improvement. Sam TLevy will lead the 1930 Business High School foot ball team. He was elected captain of the eleven yesterday by the winners of the “B.” | Levy, who will be a junior next year, | has played tackle on the Stenog eleven | for the past two seasons. He is a stal- wart performer. Central High's swimming team, which | opens its season Friday against Balfi- more City College's natators in the Maryland metropolis, faces a bright schedule of eight meets and probably will add others. Among_the engagements scheduled | for the Blue and White mermen are those with the Yale Freshmen at New Haven February 8 and with the Navy | Plebes at Annapolis FPebruary 22. * A return meet here with Baltimore City College also has been listed and in other tests Central will meet its alumni, Baltimore Poly, Tome and Loyola High of Baltimore. Capt. Bob Varela of the Blue and ‘White team, who also is acting man- ager, is in addition negotiating for meets with the Catholic University and George Washington Freshmen, Balti- more Priends School and St. John's It has plenty of seasoned material and is sure to put pionships at Baltimore March 8 and may send entries to the national title meet at Columbia University and to the champlonships to be held at Swarth- more and Rutgers. ‘The schedule: Friday—Baltimore City College at Baltimore.

Nor did the matter necessitate a con- ference between alumni and faculty members, the alumni member holds. 8o far as known, none of the alumni members of the board has formally tendered his resignation.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. OBERT ZUPPKE. philesopher, painter and coach of the I- linois foot ball team, the other night gave me his views on an all-America eleven. “An all-America player,” said Zuppke, “is & poor defense, & long run and an in- spired writer.” I wouldn't say that he was so utterly wrong at that, but countered by asking him if he hadn’t had some men on his Illinois téeams who were pretty fair against a good defense. He admitted that such was the case. Then I asked him to pick an all-time Iilinols team. He took Carney and. Garland Grange as his ends and Armstrong and Inger- son as his tackles, His guards wers McMillin and Chapman, whom he named as. captain. His center was Reitsch, His quarterback was Clark: his halfbacks were Red Grange and Pogue and his fullback Gangle. Zuppke is sold on the Granges. Red Grange he believes to be the greatest foot ball player he ever saw. Zuppke sald that once, when he was walking in 8 German forest, he saw a great red deer bound by. _ “There,” he said to his companion, “goes Red Grange.” Grange Zuppke’s Greatest. Zuppke says that every move made by Grange in his college days on a foot ball field was musie, rhythm, Paviowa'’s dancing. _“Only,” he adds. ‘“‘when Grange leaped and danced his way down a fleld it was through territory where every man’s hand was against i him: where men were seeking savagely to throw him, to hurl him to earth.” Grange weighed only 187 pounds. “Give me.” says Zuppke, “all the play- ers of 167 pounds and under and you can have the rest. The greatest back- field T ever had as a iinit was composed ger. - Clark 'wei 3 e 142 McComber 176 and Shobinger 183. You take the brewery horses and I'll take the race horses.” Zuppke claims that the greatest qualities in a foot ball player are cour- age, application and vitality. He says t wants a smart player, but calls attention to the fact that a good brain carried by poor legs is just as useless as a.poor brain carried by good legs. “I had about five Phi Beta Kappa men on my team this season,” says the Tilinois coach, “but they all had good legs. A foot ball man doesn’t have to he a deep thinker, but he does have to be L3 u}xl:k thl:lker. w s “I do not mean to say that & quick thinker may not also be a ml‘gt”md thinker, but in a foot ball game there isn't time for any deep pondering. Slow Thinker Out. “The derous thinker frequently is referred as an intellectual. A}j, a general thing, that is all that is left him. m‘:‘ny uk-;gne:lm-ls have large ] necks and poor . They are the knowers, the nlxer’:u We do not refer to a mechanic as an intel- lectual, yet he is a creator, a doer. He talks less than the other man because he is too busy. He may have just as good a brain, but its manifestation is not in conversation. He makes better foot ball material. The intellectual must be satisfied to be a critic. “Foot ball is a great game and it is ‘not - on" the ‘wane. The most severe critics of foot ball are those who never played it. Those men think it should be abolished. But the man who played foot ball is raising his sons to be foot ball players. He knows the value of the game. “A good back,” said Zuppe, “must have more than speed. Foot ball is a succession of starts, so he must be a quick starter. He must have hands—hands which can handle the | ball cleanly. He must be tough and | have the courage to face punishment. | And to be great he must be able to evade -the clutching hand that he | doesn't see. Better Lion Than Fabbit. | “They say of some halfbacks that Jthe,v run like rabbits. But a. rabbit Tuns in fear. A good halfback must run like a lion, the fastest beast on earth and one which charges straight at trou- ble and runs over it. A halfback must }-un with the idea of attack, not de- ense. “A good lineman is a fullback who is a little too slow for the backfield. oHe doesn't have to be a good ball handler. He can be a bit slower than a back. But he must be sturdy and he must have a fighting spirit.
