BY TOM MERICAN UNIVERSITY basket ball quint points its guns for a ninth consecu- tive victory tonight when it its artillery against Elon College here. With George Washington University as one of the two undefeated local col- lege cage teams this season. Walter Young's Eagles may not have to do much screeching and screaming to curve their talons on the Elon Col- lege quint A win over Elon is looked for. But a lot of things which are expected to come under the wire never arrive on time—and this may be onme of those affairs. However, if the Young-coached outfit does scuttle the visitors, its chances of hopping along into an unruffied season will meet with stern opposition in a coming return battle with St. John's of Annapolis. Although the Eagles have trounced the Johnnies, the Maryland outfit since has recovered its balance so much that it was able to triumph over University of Virginia recently. A Young has a well-balanced team, ac- cording to statistics and the experts. Figures show that Walter’s young men have fallied something over 30 polnts r game as an average in eig - Dats™ While they were tabbing this splendid showing In eggressiveness, the combined opposition Was _getting 21 ints per combat for an average. PO hest figures indicate that the team is playing a cool, deliberate system, get- ting points whenever the opportunity arises, but taking Tno unnecessary chances in going after them. Two games stand out in those played so far. The Navy game, a {wo-point margin_conquest for the Eagles, showed the local quint to be at its best in balance. The boys never missed a trick, yet watched the Sailors’ offense with a close- knitted defense. Fuchs, however, scoring 11 of the 22 points, was the outstanding star of the combat, an unusual situation for the Eagles, be- cause it is rare to see one man dominate their play. In the second, the Hampden-Syd- ney combat, the American U. de- fense wobbled and the Virginia quint piled up 29 points. It was the highest number of points the boys had set against them. Young's system, which is a modi- fied Meanwell plan, discourages in- dividual starring, and as a result four of the players are within 10 points of one another in high scor- ing. This system, too, baffles the opposition, preventing it from direct- ing its ire and fire upon one man. While Fuchs scintillated in the Navy are on ai Spaidjpe’s, 2396 G M'.k s combat, for imstance, be failed to show such scoring egility in Sther Eagles Play Safe, Soar to Basket Ball Heights Without Undue Strain.

Last vear's five was only able to take two-thirds of its combats, losing 5 and winning 10 games. But the opposition was mighty stiff. In his forwards, Fuchs and Dick, Young has a pair of fleet boys Who are overdangerous. The former is a dead shot within shooting distance and the latter a very heady and peppy player. Sells, the center, is over 6 feet tall and is rated as one of the best bank-ball men in the District. When the leather comes off the back board Oscar seems to be just in the right spot to take it into control. Olsen and Washburn are relianles who have been making a lot of trouble for the enemy. They are rated as two of the best guards in their circle. Reserve material is good. Dan Kessler, guard, and Wayne Larson, forward, are smart material. while the boys who back up the big seven are Gladstone Williams, John Wil- liams, Al Buffington and Scott Crampton. Young carries but 11 men, preferring to concentrate upon a small squad thah having to spread his instructions over a larger group, which would, or would not, have star material in the making.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Bports Writer. AKE PLACID, N. Y, Febru- ary 5—The 1932 Winter Olympics are just one day old and yet the village of Lake Placid already is groggy from the surprises and thrills of the first of these international strug- gles ever staged in the United States. In the first place, not even the most enthusiastic of all the na- tives had any idea that the famed speedsters of Norway, Finland and Sweden, with records of conquests in past Olympics, victories over time, form, experience and the world at large, could stand so beaten as they do today. Yet on the record of the first day of the Olympics stand the amazing con- quest of Irving Jaffee, a boy from the sidewalks of New York, who learned his skating in a two-by-four rink on Fifty- second street while the Scandinavians were living on steel blades outdoors, and the triumph of Jack Shea, a local boy who grew up on the ice of Placid and Mirror Lakes, just down the road. HEA, a sophomore at Dartmouth, won the 500-meter final and defeated by five full yards Bernt Evenson, world champion record holder, supposedly in- vincible at that distance.
