- WILL THRONG (. U FOR TILT TONIGHT Frosh Fives Also to Clash in Preliminary—Hoyas Visit Hopkins. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY alumni, stu- dents and faculty are likely to turn out in force tonight to watch their basket ball team in the first of two games it is to play with Catholic Univer- sity. The car and bus lines are pretty sure to be crowded, parking space at a premium-around the Brookland gymnasium, and a Buff and Blue five fairly certain to find itself with greater support in the stands than one has seen in a decade or more. Be it known that George Washington folk are sitting up and taking notics of what their bask:t ball team is doing Among the Buff and Blue supporters 1t | is currently heard that their team is as good as any in the section and that what they have done so far is only a beginning. And tonight they will jour- ney out to Catholic University with the full expectation of acquiring another scalp. It is only natural that the brilliant showing against Navy on Wednesday of last week and victories Friday and Sat- urday over Villanova and Drexel should arouse a good deal of enthusiasm among those that have been waiting for something to happen in George Wash- ington athletics over which they could sbow some real partisan spirit. It is likely that the big C. U. gym will be overtaxed with rabid Colonial sup- s TS, - % Actually, George Washington people g0 to Brookland looking for two vict instzad of one, as their Fresh- man five meets the Catholic U. Fresh- men in a preliminary to the varsity game. The Freshman contest is to be- gin at 7:30 o'clock, and the varsity im- mediately after, about 8:30 o'clock. | Changss in the line of either team | are unlikely. Coach Pixlee of George ‘Washington thinks. he has a happy combination and no reason to break it He might find a combination less fective, but the chances are he would | not on: any more effective. It is Pixlee's policy to let well enough alone as far as his line-up is concerned: Catholic University also is likely to stand pat on its team, as, while it has not been doing as well as George Wash- ington, it figur:ss the only chance for it to come through is for it to keep its line-up intact so that the players may develop a maximum of teamwork. [EORGETOWN, as it prepares to go G to Baltimore tonight to play Johns Hopkins in the first game in which 1t has appeared since the holidays, in- dicates that it has a flshflnl quint, which has not yet found the basket accurately enough to be classed as a real good outfit. That, at least, seems to be the opinion of those that have watched the team closely in its prac- sessions. o “We have a good basket ball team, as one man expressed it yesterday, “but not a real good one. By that I mean that we have a team that will play a Jot of basket ball. but will lose fflnu ‘With such a fighting spirit as is evi- dent in the players, we cannot be beaten wvery much by anybody, but unless we develop greater accuracy in shooting we are not going to score very many points. It goes without saying that without a good point-scoring team we cannot win very many games. How- ever, we do have a crowd of battlers, and any five we play will know it has been in a real game.” The Blue and Gray team tonight probably will face Hopkins with Morris and Emil Bozek in the forward posi- tions, Billon at center and Shay .and| Maczees at guards. The game is to be played at 8 o'clock in the Loyola College gymnasium. * T 1s not believed that Navy expecwdi I to lose Bill Ingram,. its foot ball coach, but now thn‘; i’!| :‘1:1 it is up inst a proposition of finding some- bad to take his place. The coaching situation at Navy, with Ingram in . hag been something of{a one- system, although Ingram, of course, Pac had assistants. At the beginning of this year, those now in charge at Navy leaned away from this just a bit and felt that they should expand a lit- more and have.more coaches, espe- :‘;uy more coaches to tutor the differ- groups of players, one for the ends, | ther for the tackles, and =0 on, but | another for the tackle thev held to the one-man system. Navy has an organization to strong that the absencs of no one man is liksly to disrupt it to any great extent, but Ingram had an advahtage in coaching 8t Annapolis that it is doubtful if any other civilian would—that of himself « being a graduate of the Naval Acad- emy and having a full understanding of its policies and its undercurrents, which are there just as they are pros- ent in the big universities Nobody at the Naval Ac’id?m.\'hqu!f- tions Ingram’'s ability as a coach, vir- tually :\":rybndy there feeling’ that he could do just about as good work as any mentor. Probably he could have re- mained” at Annapolis as long as he might have desired. Johnny Scalzi, dependable Georges town guard, will be unable to get in the Hopkins game as he is suffering a slight attack of grip. It is expected, however, that he will be ready for the Duquesne contest Friday night at Tech. &‘llz‘. will be missed, but the - Hoya - squad _recently has been bolstered through the acquisition of Johnny Bozek, a senior, who was an outstand- ing performer on the hardwood for Gonzaga before entering Georgetown, but has not been allowed to play basket ball for the Hoyas because it was feared he might be incapacitated for the grid- fron. - Gallaudet’s basketers, who thus far ve won 3 games and lost 4, are drill- hln" for th!f!‘ next game against St. John’s Priday n“l“,._' Annapolis. ts of American University u?“mmu-m will meet next Wednes- ht at the A.

BIG TEN RACE LED BY NORTHWESTERN Beats lllinois and Takes First Place in Basket Ball Standing. By_the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 13.—Just a | little moré than a week old, i the Western Conference bas- ket ball race today was well | scrambled, with Northwestern in first place. Wisconsin and Purdue, usually fighting for the lead, were one jump out of the cellar. Northwestern accounted for its sec- ond -straight triumph last night, de- feating Illinois, 29 to 27, after .a rous- ing battle, in which 35 personal fouls, were called. The defeat just about sounded taps for Illinois’ hopes, it being the third straight setback. Michigar was expected to defeat Wisconsin and did it by a 23-to-17 score, but no one figured Iowa to take Purdue. The Hawkeyes, however, got out in front early in the contest and had enough left to stave off a desperate Boilermaker rally at the finish. The defeat was Purdue’s second in three games. Led by Norm Daniels, the only big man on the team, Michigan raced Wis- consin frcm start to finish, finding dif- ficulty only at the finish, when Ted Chmielewski broke loose for two field goals. Michigan moved into third place with two victories and one de- feat, while the Badgers dropped down to_a tie with Purdue. Indiana came back to life and gave Ohio State its first beating of the sea- son, another of those two-point af- fairs, 23 to 21. The Buckeyes were superior from the floor, but Indiana cashed in on‘*nine of its charity shot attempts to win. Both teams have won one and lost one. Chicago and Minnesota have not been defeated, but they meet Saturday night and the field of unbeaten teams will be reduced by one more. HIGH TENNIS RANKING FOR TILDEN, MOODY Wew Rule of U. 8. Net Body Apt v Put Pair at Top on Foreign Play Basis. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Janut 13.—Na- tional tennis rankings in the future will be made on the basis of play abroad as well as the home under a new ruling approved by the United States Lawn Tennis Association. ‘The U. S. L. T. A's action was inter- preted in some quarters as pavi way for the ranking of Big Bill Tild and Mrs. Helen Mills Moody as this country’s No. 1 aces during the 1930 season. Tilden played magnificently abroad, winning the Wimbledon title, but failed to appear to advantage when he re- turned home, losing in the National championship to Johnny Doeg. Mrs. Moody was unbeaten in a foreign cam- a:;gn, but did not defend her American e. The rankings will be submitted for approval at the annual meeting of the U. 8. L. T. A in February. INTRAMURALS Basket Ball Dropped by Oglethorpe. ATLANTA, Ga., January 13 (#).— Oglethorpe University here has dropped intercollegiate basket ball for this year and will substitute a wide program of | intramural sports as a four-month ex- periment. Varsity coaches will superintend the | program. | ., The Intramural Council will agree on the amount of parficipation necessary to the earning of an intramural letter, and those completing the course will be given one scholastic credit, equivalent | to that awarded for any academic work. | No student, however, will be given more |than one credit each year nor more than four during the college career.

'NDER the coaching of Bill Ingram, Navy foot ball teams have been feared and respect- ;" ed opponents. They have won notable victories and have lost gal- lantly fought games. In the courss of his administration one eleven, that of 1926, was regarded pretty generally as est, in the country. In other words, Ingram has begn - a very competent coach and he has made as much of his material as any other could have made. Now he has quit Annapolis to go to the University of California and Navy will find it difficult to fill his shoes. Championship tcams mean good ad- vertising only to colleges that need to be advertired. Otherwise, save for the satisfaction of the students, alumni and the coach, they are intrinsically value- less. The colleges whose teams, win or lose, consistently provide opponents with hard-fought, cleanly waged foot ball colleges soar high, illuminate the intercoliegiate skies for a brief sea- son and then give way to other pyrotechnical foot ball.- Dean Sanford of Georgia early in the foot ball season said: “Deliver us from championship foot ball teams,” and then went on to say that championship and all the stress and strain they involve were nuisances and that all he asked of the Bulldogs every year was to win their due and proper share of victories due and proper share of victories won. No coach whom the Navy may obtain will do any better work, or, certainly, any more valuable work for the institu- tion on the Severn, and the Navy atti- | tude has been splendidly manifested in |its offer of a new two-year contract to | Navy Bill, which Ingram for some rea- son declined. | " Just who will succeed Ingram is prob- |lematical. These are not many coaches of high character footloose at the pres- ent time. But the modern tendency tracts if they think they can better ‘thtmselvex. And' so it is likely the Academy athletic authorities will not BY SOL METZGER. Lon Jourdet, Penn’s champion- ship basket hgll coach of a decade ago, who is again in charge, tells me that this sport differs from foot ball in that there are no hide-bound plays. Thus, when we refer to Towa’s set plays we mean that, while certain moves are planned, it is up to the individuals to vary them in order to score. That is why there are many varieties to every play It's up to each individual to do one of several things, the right one in particular, when the attack centers around him. Left guard, No. 4, again has the ball. As in the play shown yester- day, the center, No. 3, circles as shown and takes a pass from No. 4 and then shoots the ball to No. 2 now coming across court from the right. Enter the variation. No. 4 beats it down the left side- line, so timing his drive that he gets m No. 1, ére No. 1 runs diagon- - to the rear as in the diagram. In Bther words he so times his run *|* as to use his teammate, No. 1, to block the accompanying of No. 4's immediate o] ent. As No. 4 swings in toward the basket No. 2 passes him the ball. It's an easy one-hand push shot for 7 No. 4.

Signs for Three Years. BERKELEY, Calif., January 13 (#) William (Navy Bill) Ingram, former | coach at the United States Naval Acad- emy, has been appointed head foot ball ! Ingram takes the place of C. M. (Nibs) Price, who resigned after last season. No ferms were announced, but | it was understood the new mentor will | receive between $12,000 and $15,000 W. W. Monohan, graduate manager, | signed Ingram. Ingram notified the California au- thorities he would report here March 1 in time for Spring training. Ingram was '‘a star halfback and quarterback at Navy in 1916, 1917 and 1918. He was named All-America quarter! in 1918. , In 1919 Navy Bill returned to An- napolis as first assistant to Gil Dobie. | He organized the Pacific Fleet. team in 1920 and 1921 while stationed in this | section and acted as coach and player. Retiring from the Navy in 1822 to enter business, Ingram aecepted a “hurry-up” call from William and Mary and took over the head coaching duties there in Septzmber of that year. From 1923 to 1925 he coached at In- diana and in 1926 went back to An- napolis. As leader of the Navy squads his teams won 32 games, lost 13 and tied 4 in the last five years, ANNAPOLIS, January 13 (P).—A successor to William A.

Malcolm Campbell, British sportsman, apparently is fully convinced that the financial controversy between authorities of Day- tona Beach and representatives of the American Automobile Association will not prevent his proposed attempt to set a new world automobile speed record on the Florida sands next month. Campbell announced in London that he would sail for the United States to- morrow. With him he will bring his new 1,400-horsepower Bluebird racer with which he hoj to shatter the present record cof 231 miles an hour set by the late Sir Henry Segrave in 1929. “The row has nothing to do with me,” Campbell said. “I have had no word from the A. A. A. to stay away, which I should have had if the trials had been definitely abandoned.” The controversy revolves about the adequacy of the sum of $4,000 Daytona Beach has offered to cover the actual costs of staging the trials, In Washington Ted Allen, secretary of the Conh‘ Board of the A. A. A, had this to say: “The $4,000 may be enough if the trials were to last two or three days, but the chances are, judging by past experiences, that the trials will drag along. It is_an unfortunate situation if Daytona Beach cannot raise more money, but enough saving may be ef- fected if help on the municipal pay roll, such as the city electrician, car- penters and others, be used that the $4,000 be stretched to cover other nec- essary expenses. “If the money is not raised, or other settlement made, I will have to inform Capt. Campbell’'s manager in New York, G. O. MacConachie, that sanction can- not be given. The only hope then is that he may make some arrangements with commercial companies here an shoulder additional expenses himself." In New York MacConachie said Capt. Campbell probably would be willing to defray all costs except that he would desire that the timing of the record at- tempts be paid for by some neutral or- ganizations. Daytona Beach officials were to con- fer today with L. Warren Baker, Florida representative of the A. A. A, and it was possible an agreement would be reached. sl i e After Basket Ball Contests With Any Teams Around.

PLAYER PLACED WEST 10 CARRY ON BESPITE RIGE BUY Sam Signs as OQutfielder Is Bought From Yanks—Harry Good Player. .’ plished late yesterday by Clark Griffith, president of the Na- tionals. Scarcely had the ink used by Sam West in signing a contract dried before Harry Rice, veteran fiyhawk, was purchased from the Yankees. And Rice comes to the club as an out-and- out buy, no player going to the New York club in the deal. . . As usual, Griffith does not divilge the purchase price of this outfielder, who saw service with the Browns and the Tigers before going to the Yankees last season. However, it s estimated he cost the Nationals something around $10,000. The Yanks had asked for waivers on Harry, but withdrew the request when the Washington club claimed him, and some dickering was necessary to effect the transfer. The purchase of Rice does not mean he will become a regular at the outset of campaigning, according to Griffith. There’s another Rice with Washington who is expected to retain his outfield birth, and the same may be said of Heinie Manush and West. This West, who penned his name to a contract be- fore leaving here .for his. Texas home yesterday, is likely to carry on in cen- ter field if his arm regains its throwing power. BY JOHN B. KELLER. IGNING one outfielder and buy- ing another was the job accom- West Apt to Be Ready West, who came here last week for an examination of the wing that went back on him last Spring, is expected to be in first-class condition when the championship season opens in April the Washington club physician de- clares. It was determined no operation on Sam’ arm was necessary and a re- currence of the ailment that put the outfielder out of commission for some time last year isn't likely. With Harry Rice in line, though, those in charge of the Nationals feel they have bolstered the outfield to such an_extent that the club would not suffer at all should any regular fly chaser become incapacitated. Rice hit for an even .300 last year, has been a consistent socker of the ball and is a capable fielder and thrower. Like the other Washington out- fielders, excepting Dave Harris, the new National is a left-hand hitter, and his acquisition occasioned a mild surprise, as both Griffith and Walter Johnson, the Washington manager, has repeat- edly stated the club was after a right- hnndd batter only for the garden squad. Rice Best Procurable. Griffith, though, says Johnson long has been an admirer of Rice and that as nothing in the way of an experi- enced right-hand hitting outfielder could be procured the earstwhile Yan- kee was the best that could be picked up for the Nationals, Harry should ‘be a handy man to have around at that. He's a good ball player and of the rare type able to leap irom the bench to the field after a period of idleness and give a fine ac- count of himself. With other clubs Rice was plain poison to the Nationals, too. As a Brown, Tiger and Yankee, he broke up many games that Wash- ington seemed to have tucked away. Having him in the home line-up ought to prove beneficial. ON ALL-STAR TEAM Mortimer Is Named Quarterback on State Class B Gridiron Combination. FREDERICKSBURG, Va. January 13.— One member of the Washington- ‘Lee High School eleven of Ballston, Va., was placed on the first team and two more were assigned posts on the second combination on All-State Class B foot ball teams, announced today by the Free Lance-Star.
