W.Gym Tonight MANY BOYS STRIVE “FOR TEAM BERTHS Eastern Has Strong Squad, but Tech and Central Are Apt to Shine. CHOOLBOYS of the District| group are in for a big track season, according to all signs. An unusually large| number of scholastics will seek | - cinder-path honors, and much bang-up competition is in pros- ct in view of the host of per- ormers of proved worth at hand. Several schools in addition to those which have been supporting the sport regularly plan to be represented on the cinder path. The loss of interest in base ball among schoolboys here will help track. A number of schools have been seriously considering not organizing diamond teams the coming Spring, though it is expected that nearly all of them will decide not to abandon the national pastime once base ball weather arrives. However, there has unquestionably been a loss of interest in the diamond me the past few years among school- vs here, and track has been coming in for increasing attention. In addition to Eastern, Tech and Central, which are regularly repre- sented on the cinder path, Western is taking up track energeticaily this sea- #on, under the direction of Coach Dan Ahern. Among the prep schools, Devitt again has ‘:n'buncg g! clever performers, though the squad numerically is ex- ceptionally small, while Emerson, Gon- St. John’s, Landon and possibly others will be active on' the" cinder path. Eastern right now g to again be the class of the public high schools. The Light Blue has most of the mem-. bers of last season's championship team again, Eastern in triumphing over Tech, the defending title holder, | 50 to 48, to win last Spring's title | games, achieved the first track cham- | ;l:nsh\p in the annals of the Lincoln rk School. Tech and Central have lost high- grade athletes, but each has a group of stalwarts still on the job and may give Eastern more of a battle in the | championship meet in May than now seems likely. Devitt, despite its small squad, prob- ably will gain most honors among the | prep schools in view of the proved ability of its representatives. It would not be surprising, though, to see some of the other prep schools show considerable strength. Something of a line on the compara- tive sirength of the Eastern and Tech squads may. bs gained as the result the University of Virginia scholastic Baturday at Charlottesville. Each has entered sizable squads. Four basket ball games _involving schoolboy teams of the District area are listed tomorrow, all on Washington eourts. In es here yesterday Eastern drubbed Gonzaga, 48 to 36, in the East- ern gym, and St. John's took the meas- ure of Leonard Hall School, 30 to 25, on the Cadets’ floor. St. John's will entertain Mount St. Joseph’s High of Baltimore in the Ca- dets’ gym at 8 pm., and in afternoon games Hyattsville High, conqueror of Tech, public high champion, will en- gage Devitt on the Devitt floor, Gon- zaga will have the Strayer tossers. as their guests, and St. John's will be at home to Charlotte Hall in the Epiphany gsm. Central and Western were to battle it out this afternoon in the Tech gym in the final game of the public high school championship basket ball series. ‘Western was out for a victory to hold second place, while Central was hope- ful of & win, which would give the Blue a tie for the runner-up post with West- ern and Eastern. Tech won the title last week for the second season in a Tow. In other tilts this afternoon Eastern ‘was to engage Georgetown Prep at Gar- rett Park, Emerson was to face Mary- land Freshmen at College Park, St. John's was to encounter Leonard Hall at Leonardtown, and Woodward and Episcopal were to try conclusions in a Prep School Light-weight League match at kpiscopal.

CHICAGO, February 11.—Pighting desperately to stick in the Western Con- ference basket ball scramble, Illinois to- day was back among the leaders, tied with Michigan for third place. ‘The Illin{ last night exhibited a return to their besa form and defeated North- western’s in-and-out five, 30 to 24, at Evanston. Northwestern, the only team to defeat Wisconsin this season, started well and at the end of the third period had an 18-to-15 lead. However, the Tllinois defense arose to power and held the Wildcats without a field goal in the final session. Numerous personal fouls were called and each team was fl';)cu“’ul 12 times from the free-throw e Northwestern will attempt to recoup tomorrow night at the expense of In- diana, but has little hope of finishing in the race. Its record today was an_even break in six starts. The big business of the week will be done Saturday night, when four games are on the bill. Purdue will go to Columbus to meet Ohio State and Chi- cago will invade Indiana. Minnesota will play its return engagement with Illinols, while Wisconsin will _entertain the | Northwestern five with hopes of even- |ing up the season’s count. | COLLEGE BASKET BALL.

The Chicagoans, who use the five- | man zone defense, of which Maryland, | Loyola of Baltimore and Washington | and Lee are the chief exponents in this segtion, failed to approach these teams | in purveying that style of game. The | Windy City outfit failed to display the | | effective shiftness of the quints here- about in the zone defense and, unlike Maryland, Washington and Lee and | Loyola of Baltimore, did not have a fast-breaking offense, but a lumbering attack that allowed Georgetown to get set to meet and nullify it. Murphy, the tall Chicago center, showed to be & clever player, but fans and coaches who have seen Willlams of Washington and Lee perform in the jump position said that they would not trade the latter for Murphy and the next best Loyola player thrown in to t. ‘The Chicagoans play Loyola of Balti- more tonignt and then go South to meet North Carolina State, North Carolina | University and Duke, three Southern | Conference teams in successive nights, and unless the Windy City aggregation | displays speedier basket ball than it showed here last night it is doubtful whether it will win a game on the trip.

Army Meets Notre Dame Eleven on Chicago Grid By the Associated Pre: NEW YORK, February 11.— The 1930 renewal of that classic of the gridiron—the Army- Notre Dame foot ball game— becomes Chicago’s gain and New York’s loss. For scholastic reasons, the Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell, pres- ident of Notre Dame, asked that the game be transferred from the Yankee Stadium, New York, to Soldier Field, Chicago. After a long conference yesterday, Army officials reluctantly agreed. The contest is sched- uled for Saturday, November 29. Father O’Donnell pointed out that under Notre Dame’s orig- inal schedule the Ramblers would play the Army in New York November 29 and then travel to the West Coast to meet Southern California at Los Angeles December 6. Under this arrangement the Notre Dame players would have lost more than two weeks from their studies. Under the new schedule, with the Army game in Chicago, no study time at all will be lost for the Army game. Army officials, headed - by Maj. Gen. William K. Smith, Academy superintendent, were opposed to changing the site for the game, especially in view of the fact that the Notre Dame game is the climax of the Cadet’s schedule and has become a fixture in New York. When Father O'Donnell insisted upon the change and no other solution for Notre Dame’s dif- ficulties could be found, the Army representatives agreed. EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR COLLEGE TEAMS Tonight.

It was perhaps the biggest | upset of the schoolboy season in the | Washington metropolitan area. | A spectacular 6-point rally in the | dying moments of the game enabled | Hyattsville to triumph, With three min- | utes to play and Tech holding a 24-20 |lead, Hyattsville suddenly got hot. | Woodrow Hurd intercepted a ‘Tech pass from outside and dribbled in for a basket. Shortly afterward Warren Evans caged another 2-pointer to tie the score. Then in the last 30 seconds Mink Lewis, clever guard, sent a spectacular mid- court potshot zooming through the hoop. With the exception of Capt. Carl MacCartee Tech used throughout the final quarter the same team which re- | cently swept to the District title. From the outset Hyattsville gave the | National Capital titlcholders stout oppo- | sition, but Tech managed to stay in front most of the way, though the Gray used few regulars until the final quarter. The score at half time was 10-9 in Tech’s fraV‘LLh fl“yll"‘vmed W'gt-}; the exception of e final second, ahead only once, this being in the third quarter when the‘fll‘;le and Gold held 'a momentary 15-14 edge. Except Mrcyche!ney. all the Hyattsville players took a hand in the scoring. Stanley Lewis, guard, brother of Mink, led the Blue and Gold's assault with | elght baskets on four goals from scrim- | mage. Hurd scored 6 ts, Evans 5, Mink Lewis 4, and Curley Byrd, jr., 3. George Lassise and Everett Johnson | were Tech's principal scorers, each ac- | counting for 6 points. | " Hyattsville’s victory over Tech was | its second of the current season over a Washington public high quint.
