F more games are on the playing schedule, seven of them to be league clashes | making d at 12 vic- Back of this smart schoolboy cage record, and upon whom the school places its hopes for a league crown, are five speedy, brilliant boys who are playing the game in a cour- ageous, heady fashion. Only one member of the varsity five is not & holder of a track mark for speed. Yet the system in vogue at the school is one of conservatism, the old pro style, which teaches a player not to take chances, but to hold onto the leather until his shot is certain. While the system is not conducive to high scores, nor spectacular play, it gets results, as the team's victories show. “Cress” Bride, tackling his first ‘coaching as- signment, says his method of playing is enabling the boys to pull better than two out of five out of the fire, and that as long as they keep this up he will make no change in his conservative system. Bride's team has scored — 365 points against 208 for rivals. “Cress,” a former player yith ) College of New Haven, Cnr}‘n, isAl;l?Vg ing his second season at Silver Spring. He is 23 years of age and is a native of Middletown, Conn., where he did play- ground work before coming to the Maryland school. Bride's defense is the modified zone one and his offense consists of short passing and sharp cutting, two men out and three back. In Johnnie Mygatt and Ge Bozievich, Bride has a pair OGf ?;%E wards who are doing well in locating the crab net. Both are speedy, My- gatt holding the 100-yard dash Montgomery County track mark and a star on the 1-mile relay outfit. Bozievich, while not competing in track activities, is feet and sturdy. Randolph Clarke, center, also a mem- ber of the school's relay team, is only § feet 7 inches in height. Yet he gets-! DOERE his share at the tap-off, despite his lack of basket ball height Most of the entire squad range about the same height and under. Bride has not followed in the footsteps of most cage coaches, and sought height above other essentials. So long as his boys can get down the floor, the coach con- tends, size does not make much differ- ence. But he will find few coaches to agree with him in that diagnosis. Roger Pritchard and Teeney Lei- zear are Bride's guards. Teeny holds a 220-yard track mark and Pritch- ard is a 440-yard man and a mem- ber of the relay team. Pritchard, with Bozievich, are spending their last year at school. The latter, it is sald, may matriculate at George Washington University. Pritchard is & four-letter man, starring in base ball, basket ball, track and_soccer. In the latter sport he is rated as one of the best schoolboy goal keepers in Maryland. Bride’s outfit understand his system, having never played any other. He had one player back last year. This year the entire squad returned.and, other than the two players he loses this season, he will Jhave veterans for the next three years. His substitutes are small and speedy. They are Shorb and_Loftus, guards; Schnable and Brown, for- wards, and Kelly, center. ‘To augment his squads in the next few years, and to instill his system of play in coming Silver Spring bas- ket ball players, Bride is teaching 100-pounders each morning. _ These youngsters come out for morning prac- tice so that the coach will not have to take time out from his varsity. Six of the games played this sea- son were at home. All were decided victories and for this reason the coach feels that when his entertains Georgetown Prep on February 12, at home, the score will be in his favor. The first tilt was at Georgetown. ‘Members of the Montgomery High School Basket Ball League are schools from Rockville, Bethesda, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Poolesville and Sandy Spring. But this opposition is going to have a tough time trying to overhaul the swift-moving Bride-coached outfit, says the coach. — BLUE IS GOLF VICTOR. PINEHURST, N. C., January 29 (@) —Halbert J.

L. Associated Press Sports Writer. 1t's a far cry from the “belly-flops” of kid days, on a home-made sled down the nearest hill, to the grown-up pastime of bobsledding. But the men who go in for it, Winter Olympic ath- letes of eight nations, swear it is the ultimate in thrills. It is the outgrowth, of course, of the fascinating Winter sport of extreme | youth, where you grabbed vour sled rigidly in two hands, shouted for gang- | way, and took your “flopper” down the hill in your turn, whistling for room at the cross road, with the wind in your eyes and teeth, snow in your hair The ordinary youngster would never recognize the 500-pound steel and oak contraption, with its automobile steer- | ing device, side netting to protect the | legs and the four-man crew, padded and outfitted in foot ball helmets, the Olympic bobsled team. | JyOR the moment they have stolen the spotlight from all the rest of the 250 athletes here for the third | Winter games, starting February 4. | Saturday and Sunday they tackle the | bob run on precipitous Mount Hoeven- berg to compete for the 1932 North American and Amateur Athletic Union bobsleigh championships, an event few persons ever heard of until the Olym- pics came to town. The full teams of seven of the eight nations entered in the Olympic bob sleigh championships, the “only title the United States will defend in the 1932 games, will compete and the order of start has been decided upon. Only Belgium is absent from the field, the team still en route here. The United States has eight teams in the two-man event Saturday and seven in the four- man test. In the two-man run, Germany has four teams, Switzerland and Italy two, and Austria, Rumania and France one each. Germnnyl, Rumania, land and Italy hav bobs, and draftees from all the teams have paired up to make a total field of 21 teams in the two-man races, and 15 in the four-man runs. UST as the sleds themselves have traveled far from the fragile run- ners of kid days, so has the bob sleigh sport itself. The teams race down & slide that has 25 curves and banks. Two of them, shady corner and zigzag, considered the most treach- erous on any slide in the world. They race against time and the world record is one minute, 52 second for a mile and a half, where the kids used to set down a stick at the foot of the hill to Varied Sports Basket Ball.

The unluck: those that start the two-m tion at 8 o'clock day morning, for the slide is considered several seconds slow until a track has been worn by | at least five sleds. Strangely enough, two outstanding teams, that of Fonjal- | laz and William Fiske, who won the four-man Olympic event in 1928, are | the first pair down the course. Several of the foreign teams may have to discard their own sleds, some of which are steered by ropes instead of wheels because of the danger in-| volved.

BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, | Associated Press Sports Writer. | NTARIO, Calif, January |~ 29.—William Graber, in- tercollegiate champion, is increasing his own private pole vault ceiling by taking his specialty with a grain of salt. | He has been puttering around | in the brine of his father’s olive | packing plant here all Winter. He 1s on a semester’s leave of absence from the University of Southern California, but he hasn't | let down on the vaulting that is one of America’s big hopes in the Olympic games of the coming Summer. He'll be back in school in February. Bill is a tall, good looking youngster and has a pleasing faculty of mixing good business theory with pole vaulting. He believes in expansion, building on a solid basis and progress. From a best leap of 12 feet as a freshman, he built up his vaulting in two years to a point where he won the I. C. A. A. A. A. title last Spring with a jump of 14 feet ! inch to set a new record and threaten the world mark. Checks, Corrects Errors. “Graber is an unusual boy,” his coach, Dean Cromwell, explains. “He knows how to check mistakes and cor- rect them immediately.” Bill is about 20 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs 170 pounds, just about ideal proportions for a pole vaulter. He has | the height to get his hands way up on the pole, making record leaps possible and not too much weight to haul over the bar. He has wide, powerful sh ders, well developed arms and the nat- ural speed to bring him down the cin- ders to the take-off with plenty of mo- mentum behin his “lift.” His co-ordi- nation is perfect. His father has made an instinctive business man of him. He does as he is told without question. ~Sincerity is his chief characteristic. He is soft spoken quiet. He's a good pinch hitter, a fine “money” piayer. His class room marks are hgh. He belongs to honor societies that recognize good grades alone. He is majoring in banking and finance, but he is going into the olive business with his father when school is over. Knows His Olives. Already Bill knows all there is to know about raising, packing and mar- keting olives. He can also discuss in highly technical terms t nce of FIORS | in Philadelphia last Spri 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ALACE duckpinners of this city defeated Lombards of Baltimore in the first half of a home-and- hcme match. Carroll, Harley, Lem- mon, Eiker and Krause rolled for Palace.

Mike Macdonald will manage and captain the American Security & Trust Co. base ball team next seaso pole vaulting, the pounds of exertion, pulling power and so forth. On_ track trips he reads constantly, and he likes to play phonograph rec- ords for hours. During a track meet he becomes absolutely absorbed in his event Cromwell, and every one else on the Trojan squad, knew that Grabber had to win the vault at the intercollegiates if Southern California was to grab the team title. The coach tried to get him aside for last bit of advice and encouragement. “When I spoke to him he pretended not to hear me,” Cromwell says. “So I walked away. He was concentrating on getting over that bar at 14 feet ' inch. He sailed down the path, and he must have gone over with fully 3 inches to spare.” When the Olympics roll around, Bill hopes that the bar is 14 feet 3}; inches off the ground the next time he gets that far up in the air. His coaches believe he will do close to 14 feet 6 inches before he is through. BANQUET ARRANGED FOR SOCCER CHAMPS a ‘Takoma-silver Spring Players Will Be Guests of Parent-Teach- ers’ Association.
