_A—10 x THE EVENI MONDAY JANUARY 1932 25, G. W. Faces Clever De Paul Five Tonight : Dodgers “Big Four” Still Threat at Bat TILT SHOULD TEST RANGY COLONIALS Chicago Basket Ball Team Regarded Best to Visit Here This Winter. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGE WASHINGTON UNVERSITY has not yet been defeated in basket ball and is one of the best’ teams in the section. De Paul University came here from Chicago almost unheralded, but Saturday night showed such unquestionable superiority over Catholic University that it appar- ently is ‘he strongest five that has been at C. U. this season. George Washington and De Paul { meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the George Washington gymnasium. Re:sult: Should be one of the best games of the year. With a big rangy washington is conceded to be about rong as it ever has been, since it began to play basket ball. And on its own floor, certainly, it should have an even chance against almost| any five it might face. But this De| Faul five is likely to prove a worthy foe. It whipped Catholic University much easier even than the score in- dicated, and apparently played under | wraps in doing that. Unless all indi- cations fail, De Paul will prove the most difficult team George Washington s met hai( is unfortunate, at least, for this game, that the Colonials do not have a gymnasium big enough to take care of the crowd that undoubtedly would wish to sec the contest. Last week they had to turn away several hundred per- | sons and tonight probably will find the same situation. To get a seat it may be necessary to camp in some chair for an hour or more before the game begins. Coach team, George as first Jim Pixlee scouted the De | Paul team out Catholic University | and has real respect for it. Pixee said after the game that he had thought the Chicago five would be strong, as it has in its membership two or three chaps who took part in the national scholastic tournament two or three years ago. HIS De Paul basket ball team has in its line-up one of the most ac- curate shots sesn here this season, | and he used one play that apparently | was something of a personal trick and which no player could accomplish other than one just as fast and just as quick at starting and stopping. Within 15 feet of the basket he would suddenly dart toward the basket, and the man playing a pivot position would turn and Take to toss him the ball in a way that would lead him for &n under-the-basket shot. It was done so cleverly that the | Catholic University man guarding would turn to rush under the hasket, either to block the pass or to break up the shot. But instead of continuing toward the basket the De Paul player would stop just about as suddenly as it 1s humenly possible for anybody to stop, make two very quick steps back, take the pass and shoot. Almost every time | the play was tried there was a clear | shot for the basket, and several times | the ball was dropped through the net | without touching the ring. HE De Paul team is using what com- monly is known in basket ball as the Meanwell system. a system of play developed by Dr. Waiter Meanwell | at the University of Wisconsin, with some variations. However, unlike the Meanwell style of play, practically all its shots were taken from the same spots on the floor. There were three places from which it made most of its at- tempts at goals. Whether this was a weakness in the C. U. defense or the laces from which the De Paul players bitually shoot is not known, but they | should never score against George Washington as often with the same type of play. The De Paul team showed lit- | tle ability to shoot from the left side of the basket, except from & spot about 10 or 12 feet diagonally out. The other | two places it let go the ball were just to the right of under the basket and | from the right-side court, 8 tor 10 feet out. | Catholic University simply did not have the kind of material to play suc- cessful basket ball against such a group of players as were presented by De Paul, If Coach Cotton could take the men | C. U. has and beat a_team like that from Chicago he would be performing 8 coaching miracle, and, despite what a good many people think, coaching miracles just do not happen. University of Maryland continued to go along a winning way when it took | Johns Hopkins into camp. At that Hopkins probably presented against | Maryland its strongest eleven in years. | Perhaps Hopkins right now is stronger that it ever has been in basket ball. | Hopkins had previously defeated Loyola, which whipped Maryland by one point, and more interest than usual was cen- tered in the game. Maryland is fortunate in having two good centers, and & good center almost makes & basket ball tesm, if the other material is fairly good. In Vincent sophomore, Norris, senior, the Old Line school has men good enough to nt Coach Shipley having many ries as far as that position is con- Very little difference is noti of the two men. Vin- cent seems a little faster and perhaps a shade better on offense, while Norris has something of a margin on defense. | ¢ University had three tall men to use with Sheary and White it would have an exceptionally good basket ball team—that is, if the three tall gy men were good as in- dividuals. Both these men are fighters, their whole hearts in the game T players are fighters, 1ot have the ability rangy ams they ever rs at the Virginia- Charlottesyille last \on it was the great- played in that city. The not looking ahead with timism to the game up here in Febru- Charlottesville both schools \e same number of goals from and Maryland won only on its ing of fouls. No other two victories that could have cored by local schools would have eral approval of bas- llaudet’s defeat of it ty's of Navy. Both schools play ere handicaps in the matter of material, and hardly ever does_either have the men to choose from that do | opposing teams. Their victories are victories that really deserve praise.

HICAGO, January 25.—Thanks to young Jake Schacfer of San Francis: Auguie Kieckhefer, SLUMP LAST YEAR T0 BE DISCOUNTED 11930 Hitting Form Is Held Fairer Basis for Rating Power in Attack. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, January 25— Max Carey, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, can suit himself. He can look at the 1930 National League bat- ting averages and laugh, or he can glance at the 1931 figures and have a good cry. With the purchase of Lewis Robert (Hack) Wilson from the St. Louis Cardinals, Carey can | point to an outfield roster—Wil- | son, Babe Herman, Frank O'Doul |and Johnny Frederick—which hit for a collective .365 in 1930 and then fell off last year to a meager .297. Some part of that tremendous drop can be blamed on the deadened Na- | tional League ball and to the new sac- | rifice rule, but a greater portion was due to bad slumps on the part of all four members of the quartet. Herman, who amassed a fat .393 av~ erage in 1930, dropped to .313 last sea- son; O'Doulfrom .383 to .336, Wilson from .356 to .261, and PFrederick from 1334 to .270. Hold 1930 Marks Gauge. The more optimistic of Brooklyn fans will be inclined to believe the 1930 av- erages more truly represent the col- lective batting power of this “Big Four” than do these for 1931. And perhaps with considerable jus- tification, for Wilson's .261 average was due as much to his inability to adapt himself to Rogers Hornsby's regime at Chicago as to anything else. He has a lifetime major league batting averags well over the .300 mark. So has Frea- | erick, and if the Dodgers decide to keep him he may be an important fac- tor in their drive toward the pennant. Herman, a natural hitter, figures to hit better than 313, and O'Doul, but | for a terrific slump in the first two months of the season, might well haie | figured in the annual batting award, | Over the closing months of the season Chicago southpaw, today was | the only undefeated player in the world | three-cushion billiard ~ championship tournament.

Y., January 25.— | Of all the Olympic athletes gathered | here today, only the ski jumpers had | any kick about the weather. They need | more snow for jumping. | The weather “suddenly turned very cold over the week end, raising the spirits of the ski runners, who had | feared the snow, which finally was en- | abling them to practice, soon would vanish. The skaters, who have fared | best so far, with an indoor arena to | practice in, were assured of plenty | of elbow room and fast ice outside. | And the bobsled run was about ready, | with 4 inches of snow and ice on the straightaways and some 8 inches on| the turns. With the third Winter Olympic games starting February 4, the army | of athletes, iong handicapped by the | “open Winter” with warm sunshine in | | place of snow and ice, were eager for cold and snow—and lois of both. | | This Priday and Saturday the North American Bobsleigh Championships will be run. The make-up of the American sled will depend largely on the outcome of these races. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. USINESS HIGH athletes who have received the “B” include Horace B. Derrick, Harry L.

Basket Ball Tips ‘Without question, more and better basket ball is played in the State of Indiana than elsewhere in the U. S. A. This is one of the reasons— s0 I hear—why the State university at Bloomington rarely ranks high in Western Conference foot ball. I am told that practically all of their boys have been taught to avoid body contact with opponents, due to their basket ball training. No foot ball coach has yet quite overcome this handicap. Be that as it may, Indiana is a tough proposition on the basket ball court. Coach Everett S. Dean is one of the reasons. Here's one of his snappy floor plays. Guard (4) passes the ball to guard (5), who immediately relays it to forward (3) circling to the rear. As 3 gets it, he takes two or three dribbles and then shoots to his center (1). No. 3 con- tinues at full speed, passing so close by 1 that when he receives a return ?m from 1, 3's opponent cannot fol- ow him. Consequently, 3 dribbles day night when they upset a favored | Yale five in easy fashion, 37-21. | " Comell's victory sent the Ortner- | coached team into a tie with Yale for fourth place behind Dartmouth, Prince- | ton and Columbia. "Penn occupies the cellar with no victories and two de- feats. | “Only one game will be played this week, Yale battling Penn at Philadel- phia on Saturday night. The standing to date: Team. | Won.
