SPORTS. BARELY HEADS EASTERN ¢ IN PUBLIC HIGH BATTLING Gray Goes to Front in Basket Ball Series When It Rallies to Beat Western—Lincoln Park Five Puts Stenogs Out of Running. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. AN Central beat Tech again? again? These questions today are being debated energetical- ly wherever two or more public high school basket ball championship series gather. Central and Tech, defending hardwood Tuesday afternoon following an encounter between West- ern and Business, which will open play at 3:45 o'clock. Series play will end Friday with games between Eastern and Tech and Central and Western. Tech today is heading the struggle for the flag for the first time as the result of its 34-30 triumph yesterday over Western, achieved fthrough a gallant rally in the dying moments of play, and Eastern stands second following its 45-41 has won four games and lost two and Eastern, runner-up, is just a half game behind with four victories against three defeats. Western is tied with Central for third place at three wins and as many losses each, while Business, last with two triumphs and five defeats, is out of the title picture. In their opening-round en- gagement Central roundly trounc- ed Tech, 45 to 25. True, Lassise, clever Gray guard, was out of the game with an infected toe, but it is doubtful whether he could have done a whole lot to stop the Blue machine that day, so efficiently was it clicking. The victory put Central on top in the flag scramble with three wins in as many starts. Since then, however, @oach ’ boys have fivvered, hav- ing lost all three of their games. On the other hand, Tech has won the three matches it has played since facing Cen- tral. It Jooks like the Gray has a first- rate chance of getting back at its old rival Tuesday. Chance for Deadlock. Should Tech win it will increase its Jead to a full game over its nearest contender. However, a Central victory will create a three-way first-place tie among Tech, Eastern and Central at four wins and three losses each, and should Western conquer Business the Red also will gain a deadlock with the trio just mentioned. ‘Western squeezed out a 29-28 win over Business in their first-round tilt, but whether it can repeat is by no eans certain. Western, since its vic- tory over the Stenogs, has lost two of its three games. Business has done the same. ‘Tech had much more difficulty over- coming Western yesterday than it did | in their first-round game which saw the Gray a 36-to-24 victor. It was not until the final quarter that the Gray got going against the | Red yesterday. Entering the final 10- | minute period trailing, 14 to 27, Tech | slowly but surely started to cut West- | ern's lead. Early in the period Western lost its stellar center, Bob Freeman, on fouls and his absence plainly hurt its play. ' - Persistently hacking away while hold- ing Western to 3 points for the remain- der of the game, Tech finally, with only about a minute of play left, achieved a 30-30 tie when Capt. MacCartee sank & foul. Then Everett Russell, sharp- shooting forward, found the cords for & nifty shot that put Tech ahead, 32 to 30, for the first time since the first minutes of the game. A neat back- hand shot by MacCartee just before the final gun sounded put the ball game in _the bag for Tech. ‘Tech managed to battle Western to a 6-6 tie for the first quarter, but the boys in Red then shot to the front to gain a 15-9 margin at half time and a 27-14 lead at the end of the third quarter. Alton Rabbitt's spectacular gotun( during the first half and the een scoring eyes of Milton Chatlen, | Preeman and Thompson kept Western | in the van. Milton Chatlen, brother of | Paul, started his first series game and | showed well. He led his team in scor- ing with ® points, including five tosses from the charity stripe. Rabbitt was next with 8 markers. Paul Chatlen ‘was another Westerner forced from ac- tion on fouls. He went out early in the third quarter. Capt. MacCartee, Russell and Lassise were Tech’s aces. Not only did Mac- Cartee play his usual heady floor game, ¢ g:39 o'clock and Gilman School directing his mates in fine style, but he scored 10 points to head the Gray's at- tack. Russell registered eight markers and Lassise seven. All three came | through with points in those vital dying | moments when they were so badly | needed. | Eastern Rally Tells. FEastern_also came from behind to ‘vanquish Business. In the waning stages Dallas Shirley and Barney Kane zipped the ball through the hoop from the side smart fashion to break a 39-39 tie and give the Light Blue and White vic- tory. Business was crippled during the last five minutes of play through the loss of Chase on fouls. Business entered the final quarter leading, 35 to 31. Eastern held the lead at the end of the first quarter, 12 to 6, but the Stenogs managed to overhaul | them in the second quarter, holding a | 21-20 edge at the half. | Joe Robey, Shirley and Capt. Jimmy Ryan were most conspicuous in East- ern’s exhibition. Robey rang up 15 points, and Shirley and Ryan, each, 10. Capt. Natie Newman, playing his last game before graduation, led Business astack with 15 points. Bobbie Lucas and Chase each found the cords for 10 markers. Lucas also played his usual extremely clever floor game. Yesterday's defeat was the fourth of the series suffered by Business by only & few points.

Earlier in the season they scored over City in_Baltimore, 39 to 36. Max Rote and Ed Hickey were stand- outs for Central yesterday, each scoring 16 points.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, February 1.—Appar- ently forgiven for its athletic sins, for which it was cast out of the Western Conference last May, the University of Iowa today ex- pected to again be a memb:r in good standing by nightfall. The action necessary to restore Iowa to its former place in the organization and to again make the latter the Big Ten was set for today by the faculty committee on athletics of the confer- ence. The sentiment of the members of the committee apparently was that Iowa, by declaring 29 athletes ineligible and otherwise policing up its athletic de- partment, had lived down the charges of subsidizing and proselyting of its stars, and was ready for readmittance. ‘The fact that the North Central As- sociation of Colleges, of which Iowa is a member, had planned an investigation of its own into Iowa's athletic conduct also was a factor. The conference schools appeared to feel that the Hawk- eye institution should be spared the ad- ditional humiliation of having an out- side group delve into its affairs, President Harry M. Gage of Coe Col- lege, Iowa, chairman of the North Cen- tral Association athletic committee, last night said that the proposed investiga- tion at Iowa City would not be likely if the conference committee voted to invite Towa to return. Members of the conference commit- tee had little to say concerning the meeting today, but it was known that Prof. Thomas E. Prench of Ohio State University, chairman of the conference eligibility committee, which took an- other look around at Iowa several weeks ago, had prepared his report and had sent it to Prof. Willlam Marshall of Purdue, secretary of the faculty com- mittee. The meeting today was to be a secret affair. Another strong indication that Iowa would be readmitted was that the school had pos'.gonen the annual ni tional Towa night from February 25, founders’ day, until March 6, when a celebration would be in order., The action, if favorable, would become effective March 1. Should it be readmitted Iowa will not immediately reap benefit in athletics. Schedules for all major sports for 1930 have been completed by other mem- bers of the conference, leaving the Hawkeyes only the annual indoor and outdoor tnc‘k and fleld championships as tive relationship.

NIVERSITY, Va., February 1.— Archie Hahn, Virginia's track coach, has selected the men who will enter in the first meet run by the Cavaliers under his instruc- tion. This will be the dual indoor meet with Washington and Lee in the Me- morial gymnasium tonight. ‘This dual indoor meet between the Cavaliers and Generals, the first ever held in the South, is attracting unusu- al interest. Because of the invitation games held here each Winter the Vir- ginla sport followers are keen on in- | door track and they will be on hand in large numbers. | Capt. Harry Flippin will be entered {in two events, the high and low 50- | yard hurdles. Luke White will be paired | with him in both these races. Bryan will also run over the high hurdles and Taylor over the lows. Prank Wisner, one of the sensational performers of last season, is entered in the 50-yard dash with Steiner and Gordon as running mates. Steiner, Skinner and Coles will compete in the 440 dash. Louis McIlhany, captain of cross country, is entered in both the mile and 2-mile. Ballard and Holden will run with him in both events. Can- naday and Weaver will be in the half- mile run. The Cavaliers will have three vet- erans in the fleld events. Dick Day and Bill Paxton are to be in the shotput, Bill Cooke in the pole vault and Cooke and Paxton together, in the high jump. In addition, Kimball will be in the shotput, Mays in the high jump and Walker in the pole vault. Coach Hahn watched his first-year men carefully in time trials before se- lecting the entries for the meet with the General freshman team. Cawthorne, Platt and Oppenheimer will be in the 50-yard dash; Eyster, Johnson and Bippins in the low hurdles, Oppenheimer, Platt and Cawthorne again in the quarter-mile; Cary, Rudd and Brydon in the h:l(-mflfi, and Lauck, e. ner in the high jump.

SPORTS. e Navy Fills All Dates Formerly Held by Army ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 1.— Navy has filled all the dates formerly held by Army for the coming year. ‘The next opponents of the Navy for a game formerly played by the Army team is North Carolina, which will_send its basket ball team here on February 28 for the Midship- men’s final game in that sport. For May 31, which is the athletic day of June week at the Naval Academy, the following schedule of games has been arranged for the local teams: Base ball, Ohio State; lacrosse, University of Maryland; field and track, Notre Dame; tennis, Pennsyl- vania. A foot ball game with George Washington has been arranged for November 29, and one with the University of Pennsylvania, to be g:ly:d in Philadelphia on Decem- T 6. GENERALS AIMING 10 ADD T0 STREAK Play West Virginia Before Coming Here to Meet Maryland Five. Sporting an average of 43 points per game in its perfect record of seven wins so far this season, ‘Washington and Lee’s basket ball team is on its second muiltiple trip of the season, meeting West Virginia in Hunt- ington tonight and Maryland at College Park Monday. Successful in their previous trip, on which they toppled Duke, previously undefeated, and North Carolina, the Generals’ followers are hoping that they are not “riding for a fall” before the equally fast competition assured from the Mountainers and Old Liners. Both of these fives fell before Wash- ington and Lee in 1929, West Virginia in the only game played, and Maryland in two encounters. While Stadvold’s Mountaineers have met with two or three reverses this year, all have been by close calls, and Maryland's strength, handled by Burton Shipley, is well known, The Generals, with four out of five men from last year's crack squad back, are showing the benefits of experience in playing together for the second year and, in several games where a high run of points was not needed, have shown evidences of controlling their energy and saying something for coming bat- tles. After being pushed to the limit to down Duke, ene of the best teams in the South, 33 to 29, the attack slowed up Pertepubly the following night, Dick Smith's cagers romping along to a 27- 10-17 victory over North Carolina. Two nights later Washington and Lee down- ed North Carolina State, 1929 confer- ence title holders, 39 to 28. Nothing but top speed can enable the Generals to cope with West Virginia and Maryland, however, and the two road games will extend the local five to the limit. MICHIGAN IN A TIE FOR By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 1.—Michigan's standing in the Western Conference basket ball campaign, nothing to cheer over at the beginning of the week, to- day was considerably more sturdy, two victories in five days having boosted the Wolverines into a tie with Illinois for third place. Michigan last night easily defeated Chicago’s crippled entrant, 29 to 16, on the Maroons’ floor. Michigan now has a record of four victories and two de- feats, while Illinois has two triumphs and a single setback. In defeating Minnesota and Chicago, Michigan apparently grabbed the op- portunity to get a lot of bad basket ball out of its system. Against both Minne- sota Monday and Chicago last night the Wolverines failed to exhibit the class shown in trouncing Indiana, 45 to 26, last week. They broke through for numerous short shots against Chicago, but missed many. Ohio State and Minnesota will close the week’s schedule tonight at Minne- apolis. Ohio State defeated Minnesota, to 19, at Columbus last week. PETERS TO QUIT SCHOOL TO ACCEPT COAST JOB CHAMPAIGN, Ill., February 1 (#).— Forrest (Frosty) Peters, star quarter- back of the University of Illinois for the past three seasons, will withdraw from school at the close of the present semester to accept a business offer in Los Angeles, and play foot ball with the Olymplic club. Peters also is sald to have been of- fered $5,000 a year to play foot bail with a coast professional eleven. I EXINGTON, Va., February 1.— Penn Has Winning Cut-Back Offense By SOL METZGER. The cut-back offense invented by Eddie McNichol, Penn's winning basket ball mentor, is the dish that most players would like to see served. Spectators, too, should know it, for their appreciation of good 1 LED BY OPPONEMT -FOR ‘@ Atk play never begins until they under- stand the game's fundamental moves and the battle of wits that they in turn bring about on the floor.

Thus, as in the upper panel, when No. 1 makes a break for the basket, his opponent will usually precede him in the THIRD POSITION 55 N.C. STATE QUINT VISITS MARYLAND Southern Conference Champs Again Strong—Elon Five Plays American U. N idea of just how Maryland Uni- versity sizes up as a contender for the Southern Conference basket ball championship may be gained tonight, when the Terrapins meet the teamt that won it last year— North Carolina State—at College Park. State doesn't bring the same line-up that whipped a strong fleld at Atlanta, although the Wolfpack has won six of nine games in the current campaign, as in 1928-1929. However, in each of its three defeats the margin was close, and State is reckoned one of the most formidable teams that will compete in the Dixie tournament, starting late this month, A victory for the Terrapins tonight would be encouraging, to say little, Elon College, also of North Carolina, will visit American University tonight. Both games will start at 8 o’clock. Georgetown will open its boxing cam- paign at Morgantown, with West Vir- ginia, tonight. Following are the prob- able line-ups: 115-pound class (bantamweight)— Howard Samson, West Virginia, vs. Joe Davis, Georgetown. (featherweight)— 125-pound class Owen Hamilton, West Virginia, vs. Mike ‘Tardugno, Georgetown. 135-pound class (lightweight)—Harry Hesse, West Virginia, vs. Joseph Mad- den, Georgetown. 145 - pound class (welterweight)— Harry Stunkard, West Virginia, vs. Capt. Charles Fish, 160-pound class _(middleweight)— Capt. Gregg Krebs, West Vi v, John Tirney, Georgetown. 175-pound class (light-heavyweight) —Bob Hamilton, West Virginia, vs. Le- roy Bordeau, Georgetown. Heavyweight—Leonard Hawkins, West Virginia, vs. Sam Cordovano, Georgetown. For the second time this season George Washington got away with vie- in a hair-raising baftle with Randolph-Macon. In their first en- counter the Colonials won by a single point in an extra period. Last night, in the return engagement in the George Washington gym, the Colonials won by three points, 27 to 24. These are the only defeats on Ran- dolph-Macon's record for the season. In the first 10 minutes the V! lans ran up a lead of 13-4 and at f-time held an advantage of 16-13, George ‘Washington put on a scoring spurt and, with two minutes to go, had deadlocked the score at 24-all, two fleld goals by Jeweller helping a lot. Castell sent the Colonials ahead with a free toss and, with 20 seconds to go, clinched the game with a field goal, a snowbird made possible by Hoover's smart pass. George Washington was outscored from the floor, 10 goals to 8, but was more accurate from the charity stripe, making good 11 times in 16 shots. Jeweller -was the big scorer, with 11 points.
