Tech-Central encoun Business and Western will meet | header in the public high school and this one Friday promises to be packed with all the usual drama | and color. .Until. yesterday the battle bet boys in Blue and White was not expected to loom the unimpressive performance of Tech in losing to Busisas in one of the opening series games team, which how is heading the flag race, and Business in its two starts. But yesterday the Tech quint| came to life in striking style, scoring a well earned 36-24 de- cision over Western in something of an upset. In the other half of the twin bill Eastern knocked * the old dope bucket for a loop by soundly drubbing Business, 56 to 27. It was the first series win for both the McKinley quint and the Lincoln Park scholastics. In last season’s series Tech and Cen- tral split even. Coach Bert Coggins boys lost to Tech in their first encoun- ter, 13 to 19, but the Blue and White came back to conquer the McKinley out- fit, 20 to 17, in the second engagement. Business and Western both will be ' making desperate stands for victory Friday. Yesterday's loss was the second for Business against one win and an- - other defeat will just about put Coach Lynn_Woodworth's courageous battlers out of the championship race. Western will be fighting to get back in & winning stride without further delay. Western_twice took the measure of Business last Winter, defeating the Stenogs, 41 to 27, In the first game and 26 to 22 in the second. This Tech team that “took” Western yesterday was a decidedly different Jook- ing outfit than that which bowed to Business. Using Mal Johns, who adorn- ed the bench throughout the ‘Stenog game at center and making other changes in his line-up it was apparent from the first tap-off that Coach Boyd had a stronger combination. Everett * Ruseall wes the shining star in the Mc- Kinlzy attack. Not only did he send the ba'l zooming into the cords for 15 points, + including stx goals from scrimm: and three from the foul line, but he chalked up most of his markers in spectacular fashion. Time and again he streaked virtually the length of the floor with enemy play- ers hard on his heels and leaping high shot ;m-mr through the hoop. Tal tly for Tech, while Capt. - ently for and Johns showed strongly on defense. Capt. Jimmy Thompson strove gal- lantly to keep his team in the running, counting 8 roln'.l and otherwise acquit- ting himself in creditable style, but the Red and White found the pace of the Boyd-coached team too fast. For the first three quarters it was a nifty fight, with neithér team holding an appreciable edge, but Tech got its attack functioning in high gear early in the fourth quarter and, with Tal- burtt showing the way, put the game beyond the reach of the proteges of Coach CHff Moore. Eastern Starts Early. With Capt. Jimmy Ryan, Dallas Shir- ey, Joe Robey and Barney Kane bom- barding the basket in effective fashion, Fastern early asserted its superiority over the Business team, which, try as it would, was unable to click efficiently. ‘yoward the last of the first quarter the Light Blue and White began drawing away from the Stenogs and thereafter held a lead that was never threatened. nt half time Eastern’s margin was 32 21. Starting the second half, Business owed at its best during the game and lamed the spark of hope in the breasts of its adherents by staging a snappy rally that brought it to within four times of the foe, at 25 to 21. Then, however, Eastern again got its offense working right and for the remainder of the game steadily widened its margin. The “sleepers” play, which found a lone unguarded Eastern player at the end of the court shooting a basket after getting a long pass, was employed often. Capt. Natie Newman, little Business captain and forward, and Spencer Chase, rangy center, Business’ big shots, did little in s scoring way, Pete Loftus the chief threat in the Stenog | attack, despite that he was handicap- ped by a painful boil on his neck. Lof- tus peppered the rims for 12 polnts, and several of his markers were magde | in_smart manner. i the Business standpoint It} must be said. however, that the Stenogs | jssed many shots by heartbreaking o just was not their day, it !i‘v margins.

Shute, in Pro Ranks Only Two Years, Takes Rich Links Prize BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. 08 ANGELES, January 15— Densmore Shute, who boasts of only two years in the ranks of the professionals, today took his place among the Natlon's golf cham- plons as new crowned king of the Los Angeles $10,000 open golf tournament. The 24-year-old Ohloan yesterday trudged ”{rom the final rain-soaked green of¥fhe fifth renewal of the 72- hole big money classic with $3,500 first- place money added to his store of worldly goods. Almost flawless play under the most trying conditions, which left his closest competitors four strokes behind, turned the trick. A consistent, steady game, which saw the young Columbus exponent of the great Scottish pastime cling close to par 71_figures despite the heavy going in drenching rains and wind flurries, enabled Shute to carve out a 73—74— 75—74 record for the four rounds, a 206 total. Tie for Second Place. Next came Horton Smith, pride of the Missouri Ozarks, and “Wee" Bobby - | Cruickshank of the Atlantic Seaboard, tled with scores of 300. In fourth place finished the veteran Al Espinosa, Chicago seven strokes behind the lead- er, with 303, while Tommy Armour, Detroit, placed fifth, with 305. To Shute the victory was something of a revenge, for it was Horton Smith who last year crowded him out of the championship class in a close finish at {he Fort Meyer, Fla, open, and it was Espinosa who tied Bobby Jones for first place in the 1929 national open, leaving Shute - in third place, (wo strokes behind. ‘These, and others of the picked fleld of golfing great, hawked Shute's trail through the tourney, waiting for him to “crack,” as he did in the open classic, with only par figures to match for a certain triumph. But this time the Ohioan failed to break under a strain which left the dampened hopes of prominent entrants swamped under an avalanche of strokes. teen of , including Walter Ha- British open champion, and “Wild | Eili» Mehihorn, Far behind ve up in new wizard of the fairways were Leo Piagel, national P, G.

Smith had cards of ' 73-—76—76—T75 for the tournament, Cruickshank scored 74—177—74—75 to tie his efforts. Es- pinosa experlenced a bad second-day Tound when the rainstorm was at its peak, shooting 72—79—76—176—303, to finish third. Some of Stars Jolted. ‘The final standings proved a severe setback for some of the game's out- standing players. Many of them, faced with the nécessity of finishing among the first 30 to earn the privilege of en- tering the world's greatest money cham- plonship, the Agua Caliente $25;000 open, failed to make the grade. Fay Coleman, Culver City, Calif,, am- ateur, won the trophy among the simon- pure entrants of the Los Angeles event, shooting & 319, which put him in thirty- third place. George Von Elm, Detroit, one of the Nation's ranking amateurs, was second, far down the list, with 326. The golfing parade will next halt at La Jolla, Calif., where a $1,000 18-hole event will take place Saturday as an appetizer to the Agua Caliente tourney, which opens a four-day stand Monday.

AUREL, Md., January 15— Brentwood Hawks are still in front by half a game in\ the Tri- County Basket Ball League and Headquarters Company, ~ National Guard, is established in second place as the result of games played on the armory floor here last night. Hawks and Headquarters quints have won five games each, but the former have lost only one to two for the Soldiers. The Hawks put on a fourth-quarter rally to conquer Ellicott City Hoplights, 39 to 31. Headquarters Company took the measure of Jessup A. C. in a 36-34 thriller. For the first three quarters the Hawk-Ellicott City game was a nip and tuck affair. Entering the fourth quarter, however, the Hawks soon broke the 26-all score which prevailed at the end of the third period and went on to a safe lead. Johnny Wanley with 17 points and Charley Bailey with 13 were stand-outs for the winners. Kraft was most con- sistent on offense for Ellicott City with 11 points, After the Anne Arundel team had run up ‘a 10-point lead on the Guard reserves in the early going, the Soldiers’ regulars took the floor and speedily overcame the visitors to achieve a 16-14 edge at the half. Until the last five minutes the Soldiers continued well in front. Sullivan and Gary were leaders on | attack for the winners, each scoring 14 | points.

In explaining the center's pivot and pass that Indiana uses in its at- tack against a set defense, the play described yesterday, let us work in with it a decription of another play used by this same Hoosier quin- tet. The piay selected is one Coach Dean uses from a “Y" defense, a de- fense team often resorts to when the opposing center controls the tips at_center. Dean does it like this: His for- wards, Nos. 2 and 3, instead of lining up in orthodox manner, play behind the two centers. At the tip-off they break by on opposite sides of the jumping centers for the purpose of getting the tip to the side should it go either way. If the tip is to No. 2's side, No. 5, guard, ruShes for- ward as indicated, coming up behind No. 2 as the latter takes the tip-off. Naturally, No. 2's opponent swoops down upon him. No. 2 then employs the pivot and pass, turning as shown above, and as does Indiana’s center in_the pivot play shown yesterday. This pivot blocks No. 2's opponent from charg- ing No. 5 as No. 5 receives the pass from No. 2. (Copyright, 1930.) MUCH INTERESTING POLO IN PROSPECT 9|Great International Year Is Likely—U. S. Expected to Have Fine Team. BY F. S. O'REILLY. Secretary. United States Polo Association. is distinctly. an international most interesting we have yet known. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, January 15.—This year for polo in America, with the prospect that it may be the J. J. Astor, acting as chairman of the Hurlingham polo committee, the gov- {ons, has fired the gun which will event- ually be heard around the world in the form of a challenge for the famous in- ternational polo cup, serious prepara- 57 | tions for which have evidently been un- der way for some time. ‘The serles, consisting of the best two out of three games, will be played early in September at Meadow Brook and will be the outstanding event of the year. Interest is world-wide in this event. It will draw spectators from all of the polo-playing countries of the world, many reservations already having been made in advance. International polo competition has steadily developed. At the present time we have an Argentine team in Califor- nia for participation in the Winter tour- naments there, one member of which is the famous Manuel Andrada, well known in this country as a spare man on the 1928 team. They have one of the that country and it traveled for 42 days in its ocean journey to Los Angeles. Australians May Visit. An excellent Australian team is plan- ning to take a similar long journey to compete in the English tournaments this year and will undoubtedly come here to witness our international series. While the organization of the Amer- ican team to defend the historic inter- national cup against Great Britain is not yet far advanced, Thomas Hitch- cock, jr., will, of course, captain the American side again. There is no one on the horizon likely to dethrone Hitch- cock from his top position in the handi- cap rating this year, although the de- velopment of such young stars as Win- ston ‘Guest has been remarkable. Not in years have there been so many re- sponsibilities as to the formation of an- other Big Four. ‘The year within the United States probably will be featured by the de- velopment of young players in inter- collegiate polo, which is making great strides in its class. ‘The growth of facilities and the for- mation of new clubs is most impressive. Fields to be opened in the Meadow- brook area this year will nearly double those heretofore existing. .
