| | | BASE BALL, TRACK " INTEREST WANING Athletics as Whole Likely to} Gain by Expansion in ! Intramurals. BY H. C. BYRD. ADICAL changes in inter-| collegiate Spring sports | programs seem just in the cffing. Not that intercol- legiate competition in April and | May will not continue, but rather that considerable curtailment is likely, with a corresponding ex- pansion of opportunities for all students to take part in various lines of athletic programs run simply as events between organi- zations that exist on the same campus. For years, for various reasons, terest in Spring intercollegiate sports has been waning, until now there is hardly a college base ball game or track meet that draws a handful of spectators. Consequently, it would seem that such sports are due for cur- tailment, because it is unfair to cper- ata them on an expensive scale unless | through that operation, as in foot ball } and basket ball and boxing, large num- | bers of the student body througn at- tendance at the games of close con- tact draw valuable educational lessons. It is well understood that physical contact sports that attract large groups | of students have in them values that | g0 far beyond the values that scerue | only to the players themselves. but if. as 'ms to be the case with track and base ball. these values are not available to others then it is a waste: of money to spend so much on the cevelopment of A few men. Far better would it be in such cases to eliminate a good deal of the expnsive intercol- jagiate compeiition and develop such sports as competitive faciors between campus organizations thus give their valuss to a great many more par- ticipants Students, except for unusual occa- sions, can hardly be expected to spend their time sitting in the stands to| watch a rather mediocre base ball | game or a track meet when they could‘ i in- | | be on a tennis court, swimming, playing hand ball, golf, or engaged in some other supervised pastime from 'mch‘ they could get direct benefits. It} probably will be through systematiz- | ing these sports that the universities in the future will bulld up the physi- | cal welfare and maintain the morale of thewr student bodies. This does not meam that intercol- | Jegiate sperts gonerally are due for a setback. Probably just the opposite is true. It simply is a case wherein a system has reached a point where | it should come in for a readjustment in order to mzintain and continue its ues and make them available to the greatest number possible under given conditions.

Incidentally. Colonials and Old Liners may have their hands full bfore they are torough with thes2 Lwo opponents. Washing.on won from Du-! time ago. but at ¢ time the Smoky Cily outfit claimed that when George Washington | ted their home court there would bo a different story. It is probable that Duquesne at Pittsburgh will be a much more difficult five to whip than Duquesne in the George Wash- ington gymnasium. The Colenials probably will be up against their most difficult proposition of the year. Dowp at Lexington in January the Maryland quint won from Washington and Lee by 4 points in what was the Xind of game that gives the onlookers | “heart fallure.” The score was 42 to! 38 in a game that went two extra week night Washing.on and . will have eligible its best player. a (-fcot 9-inch center. who is expected to make a good deal cf difference in the eam.

It mow has nearly all the men it had s year g0, with three good players besides, but it is not the same five by sny means, not nearly as good. It was the center who made the team in 1931 and whose absence this reason makes the team a good deal weaker. Weshington College right now is no-more like the Wash- | ington College of last, vear than a green apple is like a lusciously ripe fruit. 1t hardly seems possible that the absence of one man could make so much differ- ence in a team's effectivenese.

FULLER, JR. ITH the championship hinging on the outcome of the final game, the 1932 public high school basket ball championship series provided flaming competition from start to finsh. It takes rank as one of the most desperately fought since titular competition began in 1917. In the very first game Busi- ness came through with a 28-27 upset vietory over Tech. From then the series was a veritable riot of thrills. . Eastern, which won the title, clearly deserved the crown. After losing tu Tech, 26 to 32, in the first round. for its only defeat, il came back to out- play the Eckington quint and achieve the fag in the final fray. The odds were all agaipst it at the start of the final half in this game Tech was in the ruck by a lone point as the haif ended. and McKinley teams through | the years have been noted as strong finishers, teams that do not function best until they're behing. Eastern Five Shows Mettle. | The records are replete with instances in which teams wearing the Gray have come through in the ebbing mo- ments of conflict with the victory punch. Maoy observers thought this would happen again in the deciding game of the 1932 cet. But Eastern’s doughty tossers surprised by steoping out to a nice lead in the third quarter and holaing it Eastern took scven games and drop- ped one to win outrigkt the title which last season it shared with Central nd, with six victories and ral. with setbacks and five with not a con- three loes2s, and Wesiern qQuest in eight starts Fol'owing custom, The Star has se- lected an all-high school squad.

In > last vital Tech-Eastern game his work was of high order. He was at the top of his game at the most important time.
