Central and Emerson will meet at Central and Western and Baltimore City College at Baltimore in games Thursday that will open the week's play Some idea of the comparative strength of Central and Western may be had as a result of the Western-City College game as City defeated Central, 17 to 132, Friday the Maryland metropolis. Emerson again will show Friday, en- gaging Business on the Business floor. Eastern will open Saturday, facing Georgetown University Freshmen in the preliminary to the Georgetown Varsity- University of Baltimore game in the Tech High gym. Eastern will honor its 1930 foot ball team, runner-up in the public high school ~championship series, at a banquet Thursday evening at the Lin- coln Park institution. It's an annual function. 'ONZAGA will not engage Catholic University Freshmen or any other college yearling eleven in foot ball next season. Authoritles of the I street school have decided hereafter not to send the Purple against college fresh- men elevens on the ground that they are out of the scholastic class. Gon- zaga, however, will continue to book college yearling combinations in basket ball and base ball. The 1931 Gonzaga foot ball schedule is rapidly nearing completion. In- cidentelly, it has been decided not to stage the Gonzaga-Eastern game on Thanksgiving diy again next year. It will be played October 15, either in the Eastern or Gonzaga Stadium. is because Eastern will end its title :‘:r::? play FM"::;" 10 lna would have le too long before meeting Gonzaga on Turkey day, which falls on No- vember 26.

Epis- copal High, National Training School for Boys and Washington-Lee High of Ballston, Va. 3 AP HARDELL, Tech’s foot ball and track coach, believes that the regu- latisn making students who trans- fer from one senior high school to an- other ineligible to represent the latter in athletics until they have attended it for six weeks should be changed to make transfer students ineligible for one year. He figures this would, effec- tively curb the movement of the so- called tramp athlete. Hardell believes, though, that an exception might well be made in the case cf an athlete who transfers from one school to another because cf removal from one part of the city to another. Hardell says Dick Nelson, who has Just wound up his foot ball career at Tech, was the most accurte passer the McKinley eleven has had since he took charge of it in 1923, “That boy could well be called ‘Dead Eye Dick,’” says Hardell. “He can hit 2 dime with those heaves of his,” quoth Hap. “John Ritter, who was on the Tech team a few years back, was better on an optional pass dependent upon eyesight. He was great on getting the ball to a free runner.

GREAT RIVALS AGAIN SEEK COUNTY HONORS Hyattsville Mets and Brentwood Hawks to Resume Battling in Prince Georges.

LOS ANGELES, December 8 (#).— Pacific Coast Conference officials will gather here today for a three-day session of schedule making, eligibility rules discussion and ible argument over the touchy question of subsidizing. ‘The faculty representatives are ex- pected to consider definite action on rumors circulating up and down the Western Coast concerning proselyting of athletes. This question was brought to the fore by criticisms from student editorial columns, Since then the University of Southern California and the University of California at Lcs Angeles each has expelled a foot ball player for falsifying | entrance credits. T'S truly surprising how many golfers go for the bowling rackét in the Winter time, or any time When bad weather forces them off the golf courses. Last Winter Harry F. Krauss, the big shot of bowling from Bannock- burn, who used to be a colossal figure in the days of tenpins and 1§ a rough customer to beat at the modern game of duckpins, cut loose with a suggestion that a duckpin league be formed among the golfers of the various clubs around the city, and sald that Bannockburn could put a formidable team fin the fleld. Now comes along Harry G. Pitt, the well known shotmaker from Manor, who in addition to his skill on the golf courses, is quite a toppler of duckpins. Indeed, his nd, J. B. Murphy, claims that Harry would go pretty duckpin lers’ tournament. Harry all for the formation of a golfers” bowling league, and says that Manor could put a fairly team in such a league, in fact, a couple of them, and that Mmig:fl'lg“ldl wubfi l;‘ far behind in an lvidual cham- plonship among the golfers ofn{ha city. Washington already has a well-estab- lished bowling organization, wn as “Rodier's Thursday Nighters,” who get together each Thursday night at the Lucky Strike alleys and perform against each other. Two teams captained by Dr. T. J. Rice and Dr. T. D. Webb Tg it each week, with Webb's team e lead in the averages so far.

Neither is his old-time partner—Ray Chapin of Columbia. Arthur Urban, the k Creek golfer, is no tyro either as a golfer or as a bowler. “Then there are a lot of golfing bowl- ers on the public links who might cause some damage in such a contest. I think the team of Krauss and Chapin would do prety well in doubles, and if Harry Krauss took it serlously he would be my choice for the individual champion- ship. At Manor we ha . M. Mc- Clelland, J. C. Putnam and a lot of other well known golfers who can roll 108 or so when they want. It seems to me that a bowling league organized among the golf clubs around the city would be a good stunt. It certainly would be a good way to get acquainted and while away those hours when bad weather shuts us from the links.” Murphy said the same thing. Pitt and Murphy, it will be remem- challenge on behalf of the insurance men of the city, to form a team to meet at golf a four or six man team in any other line of business in the city.

The sixteenth is a tough hole for any man, but Davie birdled this one, too, with the ald of a 20-foot putt that skipped across the putting green and found its berth in the bottom of the cup.
