It is look- ing the Southern Conference basket ball tournament at Atlanta at the end of the season and has great of coming through down there. The Generals whipped Duke last week and whipping Duke this season is not & mean feat by any means. Virtually all the other South Atlantic =chools are glad to see Washington and Lee with a good five, largely because of their regard for Dick Smith, who coaches it. Smith started several years ago and took charge of the Generals in besket ball. They had done little for years. He had small success, and said himself that he had to learn to coach basket ball and learn the game with He stuck to his task, East, apparently. Smith is a fine chap, personally; he thing until it is done, and made good on his basket source fit satisfaction to his University of Maryland beat Navy yesterday at Annapolis in one of the really great basket ball games of the vear. It was one of those contests that were not only well played, but so weil | plaved and so close that it kept the crowd en edgs from the time the ball was first tosscd up. The count was 43 1o 39, and, with the exception of a few minutes about the middle of the first half, that was about the widest margin that separated the teams most of the time. The ball and players shot from one end of the floor to the other so fast that changes in the game were almost as flashes from a rapid motion picture. Maryland got the lead at the begin- ning and held it, 5 to 2, for several minutes, but then Navy started some clever work under the basket, with Campbell doing fancy shooting almost from the middle of the floor. Within ;.ru of 5 minutes the Midshipmen rung up several goals and had the count 17 o 7 in their favor, with the stands showing many evidences of their delight. However, Maryland b:sgan to | pull up point by point until the firing of the gun to mark the end of the first balf found the score standing 20 to 20. It was the second haif taat was hair- | raising. The Navy got 4 points within les3 than 2 minutes afier play bcgan, but Maryland tied up the count snd from that minute it was a case of onc team or the other being a point or two ahead. As a basket would be thrown by one side or the other the lead would change, making just the kind of game | W that brings spectators to high pitches of partisan enthusiasm. However, with only 2 minutes to go near the end of the game, Maryland, :‘l:lhh. J-Wll;: lead, lhc: a fleld goal, ich gave A 5-point margin and victory.

The line-ups: An incident that followed the Navy- Maryland basket ball game yesterday at Annapolis shows the kind of a real man Bill Evans, captain of the Mary- land five, is. Not only that, but it proved that Evans has the highest type of loyalty and courage and an almost perfect attitude of mind. It is not & secret that Ronkin, who substitutes for Evans, is not only just as good a basket ball player as Evans, but in some re- spects perhaps better. Evans played the early part of the game and was taken out to give way to Ronkin. After the game, Burton Shipley, Maryland coach, remarked to Evans that “it's pretty tough, Bill, to have a chap like that uubstltulini for you, isn't 12" “That's all right, Ship,” replied Evans, “I know he's good, and it’s all right with ma to shoot him in my place any time. When a chap is as good as Ronkin, I think he's better than I am.” There’s not anything to be said in commendation of that kind of spirit that adequately expresses the fineness of the attitude, except possibly to say it were better to be the type of athlete that Evans is than to be the greatest athlete in the world, Bill Dowding, former broad jum ping star at town and intercol e George! llegia indoor record holder during 1925 and 1926, has been appointed an official of the I.

HUSKY PERFORMERS MVEAN- NOTE—As a partial answer to the question, “What are the conspicuous fioures in sports of other days doing now?” the Associated Press presents herewith, as the third of a series, an interview with Johnny Haves, winner of the famous 1908 Olympic marathon race. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 23.—A cheerful little man with lean features and bright gray eyes hunched over a desk in his office on Forty-second street and | scrawled down an order for canned fruit. About him there was nothing to indi- cate that he was the hero of the most dramatic event in all Olympic history, but hanging above the desk was a faded photograph of a great stadium in Lon- don where, 22 years ago this Summer, & pint-sized New York department store clerk by the name of Johnny Hayes won the classic marathon as the Italian, Do- rando, fainted, fell and was helped across the line. The years have dealt kindly with Johnny Hayes and filled him with a fine | philosophy. Out of the obscurity of a department store counter he came to gain athletic immortality on that burn- ing hot day in 1908 and to comparative obscurity he has returned with no re- grets, Pounding the pavements of Lon- don on the way to fame has not spolled Johnny for the routine business of | pounding the pavements of New York in | quest of orders for canned goods. “I like it,” he announced. “I went | into business instead of taking up coach- | ing because I wanted to prove it isn't so0 that & good athlete does not make a qm business man, as some people Has Giant’s Heart. “I don't have time to do very much running any more, but I have kept in good condition. In the 22 years I have put on just 22 pounds. I still can step and occasionally I run to and from the ferry boat on which I commute to my home in Woodcliff, N. J. “The other day a doctor was looking me over—not that I needed it, but I guess because he wanted to see what made me go. “He told me T had a 6-footer's heart and it only has to work half the time because in a little fellow like me it does not have 5o far to pump the blood. “That, he told me, is the reason T was {able to run so far and so fast. When I won the London Olympic race, at 23, I welghed 118 pounds, and my height, {of course, was the same as now, 5 feet 1315 inches. | "I am a great bellever in heredity, too. I think I owe much of my ath- letic ability to my father, who came over to this country from Itcland when he was a young fellow. As a boy in the old country he and his mates made a sport of coursing hares with grey- hounds, following {hem on foot. He! also wes a clever step~dancer, like many | of the Irish, and dancing builds up the muscles that help most in runnine, “But from all this zome peopls get the idea that marathon racing is all physical. It fsn't. It's a great mental test, too, this job of spreading your strength ‘and speed evenly over a dis- Chicago Bruins, 18; Brooklyn Visita- tion, 12. tance of more than 26 miles. “As it & ¥ think most marethon| REPRESENTING GONZAGA ON FITzeerALD- - Y Guard Forwasrd \Dramatic Victory Over D;rd;do Thrills Hayes After 22 Years runners are ‘out on their feet' from about the fourteenth to the twenty- first mile. Then, with the cool of eve- ning, your powers return and you can 80 busting along with new energy if you have gauged your pace right. “I don't see how that Dorando ever got anywhere near the finish line. He must have followed the English runners when they shot out in front at an un- heard-of pace soon after the start, only to sprawl by the wayside before they had covered 15 miles. But Dorando kept going and at 20 miles he was still up ahead of me somewhere, and not far behind him was the Irish policeman from South Africa, Heffron. “I could hear the crowd yelling, ‘Look at this Yank, as fresh as a daisy. He will go on and catch them sure, and before long I did pass Heffron. He was running straight up and down in his tracks with the look of a dead man on his face. “You know how Dorando dragged himself into the stadium and fell five times before two officials helped him across the finish line. He was game, but not even injections of drugs whi were given to keep his heart going could carry him across under his own power and I was declared the winner. “I will never forget the cheer that went up from the American stands as I trotted into the stadium. It sort of bucked me up and carried me along to the finish like a breeze. “Far from hurting me, I think- the effort of that and other marathon races built up g reserve of stamina for me to draw upon the quieter days, when my athletic activity consists of stepping around to sell canned foods. Life is Jargely business now, but I like to keep that picture there. SOLDIER QUINTETS TO CLASH TONIGHT HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 23— Company F, National Guard, quint will engage another service basket ball team tonight when it meets Company L of Fort Washington in the armory here Preceding this game will be a Prince Georges County Leagua contest starting at 7:30 o'clock between Berwyn A. C. and Hyattsville Southern Methodists, Much interest is being manifested in the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League game Sunday afternoon in the armory here between the loop-leading Brentwood Hawks and the second-place Dor-A quint. Should the Hawks win it will put the pennant in the bag, as it will be the third defeat for Dor-A, the only other quint having a real chance for the flag. Company F and Berwyn A.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, - January 23.—Second place in the Western Confer- ence basket ball scramble will be tossed up for grabs tonight at Bloomington, Ind., were Wisconsin and Indiana will meet. Indiana started the week in a tie with Purdue for first place, but returned from an invasion of Michigan with a 45 to 26 defeat. The Hoosiers, by win- ning, would go into sole possession of second place, but a defeat will send them down into a tie with Michigan and Northwestern for fifth position. ‘The contest promises to provide Wis- consin’s toughest test since it lost to Northwestern in the first game of the season. The Badgers will be at a dis- advantage in size, and probably in re- serve power. Coach Walter Meanwell's reserves have failed to fit into his tricky offensive system, and he has been forced to work his regulars throughout almost every game. The battle also will bring together Bud Foster of the Badgers, leading scorer of the league, and Branch McCracken of Indiana, who is close up in point collecting. After Saturday night's card, which includes a little civil warfare at Chicago between Northwestern and _Chicago, and Minnesota’s journey .to Ohio State, examinations will cut down activity. games are scheduled for next ‘week, Michigan meeting Minnesota and Chicago, and Ohio State playing its engagement at Minnesota.

Three games are on the card, each in- volving a leader of one group and a lower ranking team of the other, And where the closest rivalries are involved ;,gl! higher team plays while the other is e. The Ottawa Senators come to New York to meet the Rangers. Ottawa stands third in the Canadian section with a margin of only one point, while the Rangers, second in the American wroug. are the same distance ahead of the Chicago Black Hawks.

With it his five has twice been Eastern intercol- legiate champs. You'll see no difference in'it in its beginnings than in the start of the fast-driving offenses we have been explaining the past week or so. Penn’s plays start like any others from the rebound. Speed in passing and speed of foot are the dominant fac- tors in this system of attack as in the other. Three men start down as the ball is regained from the backboard, Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the sketch, Likewise, when guard No. 4 gets the rebound his actions are akin to those of a guard on any other team. He whirls like a flash and either hook or bounce passes to his forward, No. 3, on that side, or to either No. 1 or No. 2, if No. 3 is covered. Or he'll dribble himself if not covered.

Though Central, which is tied with Western for first place in the cham- plonship race, with 3 wins and 1 de- feat, is favored to defeat Eastern, which has captured only 1 game and lost 3, the battling is apt to be spirited. East- ern is set for a determined stand, and should the Lincoln Parkers come through with a victory it would be just another upset in a series that has been marked all the way by surprises.
