At least coaches of the several squads have that optimistic out- THE EVENING 'STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., 7000 ' A YEAR GABBY look, and no one is in a better position to judge the kind of the| teams they have. No coach is willing to say just what in the way of victories and defeats may | be his lot, but every one is pre-| dicting that his team is sure to| play better basket ball than it| did a year ago. Jim Pixlee of George Washington, for instance, thinks that his men should give Navy a great battle this afternoon at Annapolis. Pixlee does not say that his team ought to win, because he realizes how difficult it is to beat Navy on ‘the Annapolis court, but he does say that his men will make the Middies go the limit. “We have a good basket ball team, one that is pretty sure to play a good deal better than our team of 1930,” says Pixlee. “Whether cr not we can beat Navy today is a question I cannot answer, but I do think we have a team which potentially is not far behind Navy anu which will make Navy go the limit to win. We probably will not be in quite as good condition as the Navy and that factor may tell against us. We are looking forward to the basket ball season as the opportunity to begin the series of successes which we expect to be ours in all branches of sport. Our basket ball team may exemplify what we look for in other branches of ath- Jetics—not win all our games, but to be good enough to give a good account of ourselves in the strongest of competi- tion.” URTON SHIPLEY, coach at t.he‘ University of Maryland, has a big | question mark in the back of his heaa in regard to his team’s chances in the season that with the Gal- laudet game at College Park tonight, | largely because he has jusi lust one of | his best players, Gaylor, and be- cause his reserve strength does not seem any_too 5 “We have one good team,” fays Shipley, "bulb'unleu our r‘uie"rvxu come rapidly up agains or _men to send in to take the places of regu- lars.

All feel con- fident they should have good seasons; that their teams should be able to take care of themselves and play good basket ball.

Coach Pixlee plans to start Conner and Burgess at forwards, Cham- bers at center, Zahn at one guard, and either Mulvey or Fenlon at the other. Maryland’s game with Gallaudet at Coue’e Park is its first of the year, and this fact is wnat, in a measure, is put- ting Coach Shipley on the anxious seat Shipley plans to start Norris at center, Berger and Pitzer, guards, and Chal- mers and Ronkin, forwards.

Fifteen members of the 1930 Gallau- det varsity foot ball team and Manager Frank P. Galluzzo today are the proud possessors of block “G's”, presented at a special assembly last night in the college chapel. Head Coach Frederick H. (Teddy) Hughes made the presenta- tion and praised the work of the squad. Of the fifteen letter winners only three will be lost by graduation in June. They are: Paul Zieske, retiging captain; Konrad Hokanson and Alfred Marshail, all backs. Both Zieske and Hokanson may take coaching posts. Ziezke has beert a versatile athlete as has Hokanson, who also now is editor of the college publication and an honor student. Biblo Monaghan recently was elected captain of the 1931 Gallaudet eleven. Players presented the “G” were: Zieske, Hokanson, Marshall, William Grinnell, Boyce Williams, Adolphus Yoder, Marion Bradley, Axel Carlson, Heimo Antila, Stephen Koziar, Hugh Stack, jr.; John Vanderbilt Wurdemann, H}:rvey Barnes, John Ringle and Mona- ghan.

ARVARD's annual report of ath- letic finances for the fiscal year ending June, 1930, comes as rather an interesting com- mentary upon Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler's suggestion that gate receipts be eliminated and the support of var- sity and intramural teams devolve upon the alumni. The point has been raised as to how the alumni would meet such a condition were it actually promulgated and put into effect. A glance at Harvard's statistics suggests that they would howl long and loudly—unless, certainly, the economic situation in this country took some such upward bound as the chamois takes when he hears the report of an alpine hunter’s rifle. Requires Big Outlay. It requires exactly $845,739.15 to run Harvard's sport system for 12 months. Crew cost $37,914.82; the sport earned $3,681.07. Base ball caused an outlay of $29,089.35 and earned $20,10T.11. Track cost $48,966.13, and earned $20,- 610.47. Hockey cost $18,485.16; its earnings were $14,091.19. Minor sports and the department of physical education cost $126,624.11, and there was no income. Maintenance and operation of athletic grounds and equip- ment cost $89,684.43. An expenditure of $226579.82 was made in behalf of permanent improvements to grounds and buildings. Administration _and other expenses amounted to $141,733.56. Foot, ball, the only productive sport, earned $693,713.10 and cost $126,624.11. This Might Cause Howl. 8o, with foot ball receipts ditched, Harvard alumni would have had to raise | $567,051.33 for the support of that game in addition to sums necessary for the conduct of other sports named above, as well as sums relating to grounds, new bulldings, maintenance and the like. Ohio Wesleyan, Loyola of Chicago and one or two other educational in- stitutions have dropped foot ball, but in the case of colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Western Conference, Pacific Coast Conference and other | seats of learning, where athletics are carried on on a huge scale, one hears not even a whisper about dropping foot ball nor any talk about letting the alumni pay the freight. | o e BUSY WITH TRACK WORK Hyattsville High Is Hopeful De- spite Loss of Star Performers. HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 7.— Despite loss of stellar performers by graduation, Hyattsville High has hopes of making a creditable showing in in- door track. Candidates for the team have been drilling for some time in the school corridors. Leading aspirants include Richard Toole, Jack Sheriff, Ernest Michaelson, Charles Childress, Francis Green and | ‘Thomas Hayes. Members of last season’s team, which enjoyed a good season, now s:eking track honors at higher institutions of learning, are Doug McChesney, crack sprinter and leading point scorer, now at Duke University; Donnie and Eddie Bartoo, who are at Maryland, and Vin- JANUARY 17, 1931.

But Johnny Doeg, the new national champion, is up against a different proposition.

He deserves at. den did, especially in the fourth set against Frank Shields, who was storming at every front.

WOLVERNES HAKE COURT COMEBACK Surprise Defeat of Purdue Makes Michigan Big Ten Title Prospect. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 7.—Suspicions of Big Ten basket ball fans have been verified—Michigan has a title contender again. Led by a Hoosier sophomore, Ray- mond Altenhof of Gary, the Wolverines opened their 1931 championship drive back Purdue, defending title holder, 29 to 22, in a brillant battle. ‘While the champions attempted to bottle up Norman Daniels, Michigan's widely adverused scoring ace, Altenhof shattered their defense by scoring four field goals and three free throws for 11 points. Fast, alert and rangy, the blond Hoosier was all over the floor and off it for points when Purdue guards shot after Daniels. Then when the defense tightened around him, Al- tenhof and his mates fed the leather to Daniels, who came through with three field goals and as many more charity tosses for nine big points. Johnny Wooden, Purdue’s running guard and ace, broke through the Mich- igan defense for three field goals and helped the Boilermakers draw up to within two points of a tie with but three minutes to play, only to fail dur- ing an all-Michigan finish. Purdue’s defeat encouraged the other Big Ten teams who failed to stop the Boilermakers during their romp last season. Chicago Surprises. Chicago, long an underdog in Big Ten backet ball as well as in foot ball, furnished a big surprise along with Michigan last night by defeating Mar- quette, conqueror of Wisconsin, 28 to 20, at Milwaukee. Chicago led from start to finish. Ohio State closed its pre-conference campaign in defeat. falling before Notre Dame, 24 to 27. The Buckeyes led up until the last five minutes, when Bill Newbold, Notre Dame forward, scored ihree field goals.
