THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 3, 1932—PART FIVE. 3 Basket Ball Claims Collegians’Attention : Virginia Coaéh FOUR QUINTS SEE ACTION THIS WEEK Georgetown Faces Hardest Going, Playing Here and Traveling North. BY H. C. BYRD. ITH foot ball, even the annual affair at Pasa- dena and the hashing | and rehashing at New York, a thing of the past, atten- tion in the colleges, especially in this section, now centers on basket ball. For the next two months there will be little other than this sport, boxing and possibly a little track work to occupy the time of athletes. And of basket ball there should be plenty, of boxing enough to create considerable interest, and of track hardly more than sufficient to keep the sport alive. | With the return tomorrow of stu- dents from their holiday period, in- tensive workouts of basket ball squads may be looked for. Some of the schools | kept their squads together for at least | s part of the holidays, as there is to| be no delay in getting into regular | competition Georgetown, George Washington, | Gallaudet and American University | have games this week, three of them | being booked to play on foreign floars. Maryland is without a game, nlthourh it played last week with the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Maryland originally was to meet Washington and Lee Saturday, but shifted to February 15 at the Generals' request Georgetown and George Washington break into action Wednesday night. The former entertains Baltimore Uni- versity here, while the latter goes to | Qauntico to meet the Marines. | American University Jeaves Thursday morning for & three-day trip through Virginia. It plays Randolph-Macon at Ashland the same day it leaves here, meets Virginia Medical College at Rich- | mord on Priday and Hampden-Sidney | Saturday. [ Georgetown's trip is north for two games, Friday night and Saturday | night. The first is with Crescent Ath- letic Club at Brooklyn, the second with New York University at New York, George Washington has one game at home, Davis and Elkins being sched- uled Friday night. Gallaudet plays the same night at home, ting Mary- land State Normal School. AVY'S team gets back into the! stride of its formal competition | again this week, with one game 8t Naval Academy and one away. Wednesday the Midshipmen enter- tain Pranklin and Marshall, but go to Charlottesville on Saturday to try con- clusions with Virginia. This will be | Navy's first appearance in basket ball on the Virginia court, although Virginia many times has played at Anpapolis. Navy has not yet faced opposition strong enough to give it a test, and in all probability it will beat Pranklin and Marshall rather essily. Down at Virginia, though, it may be a different story. Virginia is going to have an| exceptional five this Winter and any t @t takes its measure will have to give a good exhibition. "HE Now York meetings of the Amer- ican Foct Ball Association, Student Health Asscciation, ivationsl Col- lrgiate Athletic Association and Asso- c 1 of Physical Directors, this vesr have brought out less criticlsm of oot ball than most of the previous gatier- ings. Instead of attempting w Jind | everything possible wrong Wwith the | game, it seems that greatest attention was paid to the number of deaths occa- sioned by the game during the past sea- son in an effort to find the cause and eliminate it. More and more seems to be developing well defined thought along the line that foot ball as a game is all right, and that its only difficulty lies in the way in which, occasionally, perhaps more often than occasionally, it is administored. N regard to the deaths in foot ball it would be interesting to know the re- Jationship of deaths to the number playing the game. Foot ball is coming o bs almost as much the national spdrt of America as base ball, in the sense that great numbers of boys ars bplgying anc those who are not wish to. Naturally, | in any sport, as more and more engage | won instei.. of losing, 30-32, in an extra | in it, the number of fatal accidents nre likely to increase 1o determine whether or not the fatali- ties are increasing beyond the increase that might be expected from the in- creased numbers engaging in the sport. However, there are three angles to in juries in foot ball well worthy of con- | sideration. Most important is the desire of coaches to keep their best men in the | game as much of the time as possible, which sometimes results in men contin- uing to play even after they are ex- tremely tired and have little physical resistence. This is the danger period, because when & man is tired out he can- not withstand hard physical contact and is 10 times more liable to either minor or serfous injury. Ninety per cent of the injuries in foot ball practice are sustained after players are too fatigued to practice. They sim- ply do not have the energy or nerve force to protect themselves. And the same holds true in a regular game, es- pecially when a tired player is kept in the game against fresh men sent in by the opposing side. Another angle to the injury proposi- tion is that much of the equipment foot ball players under the present rulcs are alicwed to wear is entirely too hard. A foot ball plaver’s head coming in con- tact with some of the shoulder pads that are worn m concus- sion or a brok adgears now in use could easily be rectified by providing ihat no paper mache or aluminum be used in quipment, and that all pads be of ubber or oth ding material ird ang'e t officiels have » more strict in calling inten- ughness. During the last sea- almost every game the writer there were a dozen or more in- nces of players pushing other play- faces in the ground, twisting & s head after the [ was over, g up of a player by gently push- knee a t the player's ribs, , on. Some of these instances penalized, but most of them were me of the instances, of course, intended to annoy and not to in- Jure, but cven so, things like ¢hat may develop serious consequences. This is one type of foul that should be penal- ized every time, no matter how harm- less an effort of the kind may seem Officials are only too prone to warn offending players, with the admonition, “Watch that, or I'll penalize you the nex® time.” | ALL over the country there is a gen- | eral trimming down of the costs | of running athletic departme: | almost entirely due to decreased income | from foot ball. This trixming down has extended to general play games, commonly known &s intramural sports, as well as intercollegiate competition in the various lines. A good deal of at- tention has been called to this situa- tion in sore of the Middle Western schools, but the same situation exists | there is only one answer—emaller staffs paring of expanditures, tlons.

ARMYNAYY PACT S DECLARED NEA ‘Tentative Agreement Said to| Have Been Reached to Resume Rivalry, By the Assoclated Press | EW YORK, January 3.—An- nouncement is expected within the next 10 days that the Mili- tary and Naval Academies have signed an agreement to resume | athletic relations beginning with an | Army-Navy foot ball game next De- | cember 3. Negotiations have been gaing on for sometime and although a report today that an agreement had been reached was denled at Annapolis and termed | premature at West Point, it is believed | offigial confirmation will be forthcoming soon. Maj. Philip B. Fleming, graduate mangger of athletics at West Point; Lieut Comdr. James Hall, who holds | the corresponding post at the Naval Academy, and Capt. John W. Wilcox, athletic director at Anpapolis, held sev- eral conferences in Naw York this week during the meeting of the foot ball coaches and the Natinal OCelleglate Athletic Association. It is understood they reached a tentative agreement, which has not yet been ratified by Navy officials. Relations between the two schools were severed in December, 1927, when the Naval Academy returned unsigned the contract for the 1928 foot ball game, announcing it would schedule no teams | ‘Wh\(.‘h did not abide by the three-year | | eligibility rule. Army's position was | | that so long as a cadet at the Point | was in food standing he should not be | barred from its athletic teams and in- tercollegiate competition. The terms of the tentative agreement now reached were not learned, but it is believed Navy has reversed its former | stand and athletic relations will be re- | |sumed with no strings attached. In | | that connection it may be fulmzd out | that such universities as Yale, Harvard, | | Pittsburgh and Notre Dame play Army | at foot ball and other sports year, after | | year with no question as to the ellgibil- | ity of cadets who may have competed | |in varsity sports at some colleflc or | university before entering the Military | Academy. There is little question that the cadets themselves and the graduates of the two schools are heartily in favor of the renewal. A recent poll of Naval | graduates showed an overwhelming ma- | jority in favor, while the corps and the regiment at the charity game De- cémber 12 carried out all the tradi- | tional ceremonies of Army-Navy grid- | iron battles of other year: No games were play in 1928 or 1929, but the two schools answered the | call of charity in 1930 and played last month for the benefit of the unem- ployed. The two games grossed nearly | a million dollars. | In anticipation of an agreement both athletic departments held open the De- cember date. Navy has played the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania the first Satur- day in December for the past two years, but moved the Penn game up to Octo- ber 29 for 1932. HYATTSVILLI:: GRADS HOT Varsity Quint Reaten a Becond Time by Alumni, 24-21. | HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 2.— Por the second time within a few days an alumni basket ball team of Hyatts- | ville High 8chool defeated the school | quint when the grads won a 24-21 extra period battle this afternoon on the Na- | tional Guard Armory court here. A gosl from scrimmage by Joe Hamil- ton and a foul shot by Gump Bailey gave the “old boys” their winning mar- gin in the extra period. A foul toss by Dick Lutz enabled the undergraduates to tie the score at 21-all just before regulation play ended. At half time the school quint was ahead, 13 to 9.

And they say, too, that the season just passed was the gregtest season in the Cavalier history. What it all means is this: Foot ball, win or lose, is glorious when it is in- spired. Aund in Dawson, Virginia had that rare jewel, 8 man who can inspire men. Under Dawson, Virginia put a star above defeat and they know down in Charlottesville that this star will | inevitably lead the way to lustrous ac- | complishment. When sport works out | this way it comes upon a plape with | all the high things in human life, Found Spirit of Indifference. | When Dgwson came to Virginia a spirit of indifferenc: pervaded not only the athletic situation but practically | all phases of university life, includin the class room, All athletic outfits hng | been weighted down by a defeatist com- | plex and this spirit extending beyond |athletics inciuded every extra-curric- |ular activity. The ideal of Thomas Jeflerson was beginning to appear very faint gmong the young men of this university. | . Then Dawson came in. Until mid- | November he coached very little foot | ball. There was too much other work | to do—building, restoring the old Cava- | lier spirit. The first thing he did was | to get the boys interested in their class work. And he got them really inter- ested; scholastically they became curi- ous, ggressive once more. “Then he | got at the campus publitations, re- | viving in them their old functions as leaders of student opinion and thought. He put new life into literary, debating and dramatic organizations that were dying on the vine. His apartment on the campus became | the gathering place of students and | faculty men. They went there at gll | hours. He addressed meeting after | meeting of students and in a very | signal way became the man of the | hour st Virginia, the school's much | needed leader.

He injected fire, life, deter- mination into the squad—just as he | had done with superior manpower at | Nebraska and made those Caornhuskers unbeatable. The Virginia team did not win, but it fought always and Vir- ginians, faculty men, the public, thrilled at the spirit which the piayers showed. That spirit became the spirit of the | campus, of all phases of university life. Virginia expects to begin to win games next year. And don't make any mistake, she will. The year 1932 wil see the beginning of things at Char- lottesville the return journey up a long ‘mu of insecure footing.
