BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. RIENDS' SCHOOL basketers are prepping diligently these days for what they hope will prove a highly successful campaign. C. W. Wannan, director tossers, has selected a tentative first-string team comprising Phikip Fairbanks and Arthur Carpenter, forwards; Capt. Kent Legg, center, and Dean Caldwell and James Robertson, guards. Capt. Legg, Manager Carpenter and Caldwell were members of last, season’s team, while Fairbanks and Robertson are graduates of the lightweight combination of a campaign ago. Making up the second-string Craighill and Luke Wilson, forwards; Gordon Austin, center, and Robert Ruth and Thomas Blair, guards. Friends’ lightweight tossers also are drilling energetically. They probably will compete in the light- weight league which has been con- ducted among teams representing various prep schools in this section the past several seasons. George Cornwell is manager of the “lights,” with George Cairnes, captain. ‘Wannan also has organized a midget class five and various class teams. Landon School will honor members of its courageous 1929 foot ball team at & supper the evening of Wednesday. December 18, at the school. Landon used not a single substitution through- out the season. It was the first grid campaign in which this new school has been represented, the institution having opened its doors for the first time this Fi all. A captain for the 1930 eleven will be | elected and letters awarded at the gathering December 18. Next Fall Landon plans to be rep- resented by both senior and junior foot ball teams. Priends School soccer team has closed its season, after having suffered only one defeat, bowing to Rockville in the final game of the campaign for the Capital City team . Masaru Debuchi, fullback, son of the Japanese Ambassador, was one of the stalwarts of the Friends team. This boy, who learned to play soccer in Eng- land, showed strongly in every depart- ment throughout the season. Gonzaga may have a track team the coming season for the first time in three years. Bill Wimstatt, former Georgetown University javelin and discus thrower, who is a member of the faculty at the I street school, probably will coach the Purple tracksters if it is decided to go in for the sport. Under Coach Orrell Mitchell, candi- dates for Gonzaga's basket ball team will enter upon hard practice beginning nday. Then all foot ballwrlly!rs ‘who also play the court game will join the squad. ‘With virtually the whole team of last Winter at hand, along with several newcomers of unusual promise, the Pur- ple is looking to big things on the court this season. Among seasoned performers availa- ble are Fred Brew, Bob McVean, Tom Dunn and Don Connors, forwards; Irv- ing Holbrook, John Day and Al Farrell, centers, and Bernie Bussink, Danny Pyne and Jake Farrell, guards. Dickey Fitzgerald, guard, and Hester and Nolan are among some of the best- appearing newcomers. Gonzaga will open {its season De- cember 23 against its old rival, Eastern, in the latter’'s gym. It will be the an- nual ¥lme betwen the Purple and the Lincoln Parkers which features the alumni program at Eastern. ‘Two more contests also will be played during the season between Gonzaga and Eastern. A bright 1930 foot ball card for the Gonzaga eleven is almost completed. | Games with Eastern, Western, Busi- ness, La Salle Prep of Cumberland, Georgetown Prep, St. John's and Devitt are among those planned. A captain for next season's eleven probably will be elected about Jan- vary 15. Members of the sturdy foot ball elev- en which wore the Purple during the past season will be guests of honor at a dance for the benefit of the Gunzaga Alumni Association to be held Decem- ber 27 in Notre Dame Hall. Somewhat of a gauge on the relative strength of Central and Eastern, two of the contenders in the public high school championship basket hall series | starting January 7, may be gained to- | morrow night as the result of the game between Eastern and Georgetown Uni- | versity Freshmen. This contest, start- | ing at 7:15 o'tlock, will be staged in the Tech High gym as a preliminary to | the Hoya Varsity-University of Balti- more match. Central last night downed the Hilltop yearlings, 28 to 25, in a red-hot battle that required two extra periods. In other games tomorrow involving schoolboy teams of the District group Central is scheduled to entertain the Fredericksburg, Va.. Collegians in the gym of the Columbia Heights School, Strayer is to meet Army Headquarters five at the War College and Bliss and Blair-Takoma High quints are to have it out in the Silver Spring, Md., Armory.

PACHES, newly crowned District independent foot ball cham- plons, and St. Mary's Celtics of Alexandria will hold final drills tonight in preparation for their battle Sunday in Griffith Stadium at 2:30 o'clock. It is not expected that Dick Allen, fleet back, who came out of the Celtics’ winning game with Mohawks last Sun- day with a leg injury, will be able to play against the Apaches. However, even without Allen, Coach Rube Hay- man is sure he will be able to place a formidable group behind the line in Bill Thomas at quarter: Johnny Groves and Johnny Harris, halfbacks, and Hay- man, fullback. Celtics, remembering Mohawk gains against their tiring ends in the late stages of last Sunday’s game, will have four sturdy wingmen available for duty Sunday. % Apaches will start virtually the same eleven which carried them to victory over the Mohawks in the city title game recently. Arlington Preps will entertain Alex- andria All-Stars in a foot ball game Sunday on the Arlington, Va., field at 3 o'clock._ Augustine, Goldblatt, Bailey and Mc- Pherson are stalwarts of the Arlington eleven, while Allen, Hamilton and New- man are the All-Stars best bets.

The association would present members of Penn Has Famous “Cut Back” Attack BY SOL METZGER. Coach Eddie McNichol's five at Penn won the past two Eastern in- tercollegiate basket ball titles be- cause of the system of offense he designed to break through the mod- ern man-to-man_principle of de- fense. In the orthodox system the defensive man keeps between the man he is assigned to and his basket. McNichol overcame this with his famous cut-back attack. A player, say No. 1, would break for the goal. A, the defensive man covering him, would lead him, keeping between him and the basket. No. 1 suddenly reversed mear the foul-line and, after turning, took a pass from No. 3. As he did so No. 2 would flash by in front of him, take a short pass and dribble in for a shot.

TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif, December 13.—A split between Stanford University and the In- tercollegiate Association of Ama- teur Athletics of America loomed here today when the text of a reply by Stanford athletic officials to a question- naire of Eastern I. C. 4-A officials was revealed. The questionnaire was in the form of a vote on a suggestion that two_titles be awarded in the annual I. C. 4-A meet, one for track and another for field, or that fewer points be awarded victors in field events than track win- ners. Stanford athletic heads said they took this to mean that the East is try- ing to legislate the West out of ‘a chance to win the meet. Teams from the Pacific Coast—Stanford, California and Southern California—have won the meet eight times in the last nine years on points scored mainly in field events. ‘The reply sent by inford athletic officials, in part, said: “The 1. C. A. A. A. A. does not need to spoil its cham- plonship meet in order to get rid of us. If the 1. C. A. A. A, A. does not want us as members, we would be glad to resign.” TWO BASKET CONTESTS ARE LISTED AT LAUREL LAUREL, Md,, December 13.—Head- quarters Company, National Guard, will meet Laurel Independents and Brent- wood Hawks will face Berwyn A.

By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, December 13.— The University of Towa's action in declaring ineligible athletes who benefited by the athletic fund has brightened its prospect of early readmission to athletic competi- tion in the Western Conference. Frederic Woodward, vice president of the University of Chicago, and its rep- resentative on the faculty committee, said that Towa should be given an early hearing if it files notice of another ap- al. Prof. O. F. Long, Northwestern's rep- resentative, said the action had placed Iowa in “a favorable light,” and he in- dicated he anticipated the committee would visit Iowa City soon to review the situation. Prof. Ralph Aigler of Michigan would not comment directly, but indicated that a renewal of Iowa's plea would be favorably received by the committee. Mr. Aigler mentioned the possibility of a special meeting to hear Iowa, if the school decided to petition again. That Towa apparently is taking steps which will clear its standing was as far as Prof. William Marshall of Pur- due would say, but he also indicated a new petition would be welcomed. At the annual University of Wisconsin foot ball banquet last night, Athletic Director George Little insisted on the term “Big Ten,” saying he hoped and believed that Iowa would be restored within a reasonable length of time.

Michigan State is one of the leading Class B teams of the Middle West.

Michigan State was beaten by Detroit, 25 to 0, and the Hoyas by 14 to 13. Bill Morris, varsity center for two years, will captain the Georgetown eleven next year, having been elected unanimously yesterday.

WOULD LET EX-STARS SETTLE SERVICE ROW EORGETOWN UNIVERSITY will meet Michigan State in foot ball not only next year, but By the Assoctated Press. A suggestion that the Army and Navy foot ball controversy be settled by a commission comprising five former cap- tains drawn from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Georg: town, was made to President Hoover yesterday by Representative Fish, Re- publican, New York, who called at the White House. Fish said the commission of foot ball captains should be appointed either by the President or by the Secretaries of Navy and War Departments. and any decision reached by it should be bind- ing upon both institutions. Fish said he thought his proposal “feasible and fair to both Army and Navy,” and he believed it would enable adjustment of their differences and break “the existing deadlock by bring- ing about a compromise satisfactory to both institutions and the public.” Foot ball relations of the two service institutions, he asserted, should be re- sumed “on a basis of mutual under- standing and good will.” WILL PRACTICE IN BOWL.
