SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1932. SPORT S. A—13 Colleges Winding Up Indoor Campaign : No. 1 Pin Spot May Be Decided Today (.U, TRACK GAMES WEEK'S HIGH LIGHT Boxing, Basket Ball Also Scheduled Here—Virginia Ringmen Shine. BY H. C. BYRD. OUTH CAROLINA UNIVER- SITY'S boxing team comes here tonight to begin what virtually is the final week of the indoor athletic season for local colleges. The Gamecocks meet Columbus University at the Strand Theater, at 8:30 p.m. No| other intercollegiate competition of any kind is listed. Saturday night South Carolina boxed at Virginia Military Institute and lost, three bouts to four. The Carolinians who won were Scott, in the bantam- weight class; Brailsford, in the 125- und class, and De Vaughn, in the neavyweight s a matter of fact. there are not many especially interesting dual com- petitions this week: George Washing- ton meets two streng basket ball team but both garmes are away. Probably the best court game of the week will | be that in which Carnegie Tech comes here Saturday night to play George- | town ‘ The real feature of the week will be the indoor track and field games at Catholic University. The Brooklanders | have been making big preparations for the event and apparently have excep- tional success in their grasp. With 14 colleges entered, besides the high and prep schools and athletic clubs, the | Brookland school seems to be in a fair | HiEh team game—Accounts. 503 way to stage its best meet. | Many of the colleges that are to be represented are matched in relay races, | and the high and prep schools are | also. These races form the most in-| teresting features of any indoor meet, | no matter how brilliant the competition | for individuals may be. | About the only drawback to the | meet to be staged at C. U. is the fact that the gymnasium there hardly is big enough to accomodate as many as may | . desire to attend. ARYLAND, while it meets Johns Hopkins in its final home basket | ball game of the year tomorrow night, in all likelihood will be looking more to its competition in the Southern | Conference tournament at Atlanta Fri- day and Saturday. That does not mean, |H though, that Maryland does not care | about its game with Hopkins, because | if there is any school to which Mary- | land dislikes to lose it is Hopkins. The Maryland-Hopkins game will be pre- ceded by a Maryland-Hopkins freshman | contest_at 7 o'clock. | American University plays its final | game of the year in its own gymnasium | Friday night with Virginia Medical College and certainly should wind up | with a victory. The Methodists have had one of the best seasons any team . that has represented them lras ever | turned out, and it seems that, unless | something unexpected happens in this | final contest, its record will stand with only two losses charged against it and | a defeat of Navy at Annapolis as fits | crowning feat. HE forays of local college basket ball teams into enemy territory | Priday and Saturday were not | brilliantly productive. American Uni- versity and Maryland won one game each, but all the others were defeated. Catholic University dropped two games, Georgetown two, American U. one and | Maryland one. Maryland sustained its | first defeat by a Southern Conference opponent when it lost to North Caro- limn Priday night, but it came back Saturday night to whip Duke. George Washington takes a trip this week in which it is likely to meet with stern opposition. Thursday, Friday and Saturday it plays, respectively, St. Jo- seph's at Philadelphia, St. John's at Brooklyn and Rider College at Tren- ton. It should whip St. Joseph's, but in | the other two games will have its hands full. meNIA'S boxing team did itself proud by whipping Yale Saturday night at Charlottesville. That was only the fourth or fifth defeat for Yale in something like 12 years of intercol- legiate boxing. One Yale boxer suffered his first loss in three years of college boxing. The result of Virginia's meet with Yale indicates that it should again come through for the Southern Cenference | championchip. Louisiana State has been picked by some to give the Cavaliers a | real run, but so far as can be learned | there is no other squad strong enough | 10 do that. Of course, with more schools | represented by individual stars the | points may be split up a good deal more, | but, if so, that should work to Virginia’s | advantage. NIVERSITY F KENTUCKY, which, with Maryland. had goi along as the only Southern Co ference quints undefeated by a confe: ence rival, also took one on the chin | last week end. While Maryland was | getting its black eye at North Carolina | the Colonels were taking one from | Vanderbilt. Incidentally, that Vander- | bilt team was the onc that stopped Alabama’s winning streak. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY scored its greatest track victory Saturday night when it defeated Princeton in a mile relay in the Meadowbrook games. The Brooklanders only fin-| ished in front by a hand’s breadth, but it was as good as a mile. If memory serves right, it was C. U.'s first triumph over one of the Big Three in track athletics. AVY wound up its basket ball sca- son_Saturday by beating Harvard. | With only fair material, built around a real star in Loughlin.

Skinker Eagles today ruled favorites to win again the semi-pro basket bEll championship of the District area. The | Birds polished off Vic Sports Shop, | 42 to 23, yesterday in the Silver Spring armory in the first meeting between the teams in the title series.

T'S not always easy to tell whether il's bungling or pre-arrangement, but the heavyweight championship plot seems to be thickening in a much-to- be-desired way. The shift from Mickey Walker to Jack Sharkey as Schmeling’s intend- ed, is a step forward, because the gob | is a more picturesque and talkative soul, to say nothing of being the major question mark of the ring. With the grudge element between | Schmeling and Sharkey the bally- hooers should be content and well em- ployed, and fandom still pines for the one great fight that must hide some- where in that Sharkey man. At any rate, it looks as if the big fight was finally to be produced with sound—that is, by the principals. Which is an advance over the man- agerial debates, the crystal gazing by and the legal arguing. | Sharkey'll talk it up. Pro Golfers Widen Scope. OTHING has been heard recently of the suggestion made by George Sargent, former open champion, at the November meeting of the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association, that the Ryder Cup golf matches be broadened into a world-wide competition simular to the Davis Cup play in the tennis realm. The response at the meeting was en- thusiastic, and certainly if the necessary organization could be formed, the idea | would boom professional golf in some of the as yet backward countries. Several handicaps stand out against the plan. First and foremost, while Davis Cup amateurs occasionally have business, their hours are miraculously flexible, whereas golf clubs are becom- ing a little impatient with some profes- slonals who call the world their domain | broad jump record. Just what this was | 0d spend little time around the shop, | Jjump ® "a5 | playing the home course with members | or teaching. If the projected expansion were to benefit only the great ones of the game, who are urged by their club members to play in such events as the British open, necessitating long vacations, then there wouldn't be much justification. What's needed now is something to bring out the competitive prowess of | unrecognized players, the many who | might, if circumstances permitted, fol- low in Fred Morrison's path. He was a teacher and homebody who suddenly broke loose and has just made the idea seem a bright one by winning the Bo- nanza tournament at Agua Caliente. 'HEN in the matter of finances— somehow or other, contributions to . defray the expenses of amateur Jjunkets like the Davis Cup and Olym- pic classics come easier than war chests for professiondl sport. The public fig- ures the pros, in the business to earn money and standing to increase their bargaining power by the publicity given to international play, should finance their own Odysseys. The last Ryder Cup visit to this coun- try was clouded by financial worries, and Britain is a land where the pros are numerous and well organized. Just where the money would come from in natiors where golf is less developed is problematical, It's a nice picture to paint, never- theless—the best shotmakers of every land jousting for the title of world champion. Only, as soon as the pros had it all neatly figured out, some ex- asperating amateur like Jones would come along and without being eligible to battle for the world title, leave at least & dent in the crown. Then most of the travel would be for fun. t. 1932. br the North American | (OO Saber " Alliation Ensa Abrecht .. | Held . Limon Kane . J. M. Viedt Pipe: S Bomgardner Spellbring .. Showers .

Uses Both Hands To Wield Racket By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 22.—If re- ports reaching the United States from the Antipodes are not overly optimistic, United States tennis world next Summer may see a 15-year-old youngster on the Aus- tralian Davis cugmteun who_ uses both hands in ing his back- hand shot. His name is Vivian Mc- Grath. “This boy has had to overccme all the prejudices of the high priests of orthodoxy,” says the Referee in its January 13 issue, which has just reached New York, “because he wields his racket on the back- hand as he would a cricket bat— with both hands. It simply isn't done, they say. But McGrath has done it and is still doing it. And many of the near-champions who have been playing since before Mc- Grath was born and all the ung embryo champions for whom lLavis Cup honors were predicted are fall- ing before his triumphal march.” - Averages 110 With National Team. | cunity & Trust €0 ). 3 THE TIMID SOUL.

Now, it is going to try to help the novice in bait casting. Each year finds a vast army of fish- ermen, who have been accustomed to fishing with only a cane pole, turning to the bait casting method of angling because of the increased sport, thrills ind joys experienced. Each of these fishermen is confronted with many questions which seem foolish to the old-time angler but of paramount im- portance to the beginner. There are some anglers who cannot be divorced from the time-honored method of using live bait to entice their fish, but the army of anglers using artificial lures 1| ml’ individual tast desired. To enjoy the bait casting to the fullest, a split-bamboo rod is recommended—first, because it is light- ., and as many lures as er, and second, because its, resiliency | or action carries the feel of the dashes and leaps of a fighting fish directly to the fisherman. Any one who has felt the tug, the jerk or the dash of a scrapping member of he finny tribe fully appreciates the significance of this statement. HE split-bamboo bait-casting rods are generally made in two sections. A ferrule is carefully fitted to each It is well to ol these ferrules occasionally in order to insure their ftting perfectly at all times. When putting these ferrules to- gether to assemble a rod, always make certain that the guides line up. These ferrules, if fitted properly. enable the angler to push them together without twisting. When selecting & reel it is advisable to choose an anti-backlash one. c advantage is that by a simple ad- justment it can be used proficiently by an amateur. The mechanism operates automatically—the beginner can cast almost as well as an old-timer, follow- ing a few minutes’ practice. Each reel is fitted with a clip. This clip fits into the reel seat on the rod. When holding the rod with the guides up, the reel should be on top of the rod. Basket Ball Tips Michigan's basket ball team rather dotes on clever maneuvers that re- sult in blocking off opponents in or- der to clear a man for a dribble and close-up shot. Here’s such & pl the Wolverines are using wit marked success. Left guard (4) has the ball. He passes it to center (1) at the foul-line just after right guard (5) breaks across court in front of 1: No. 4 is off with the pass ‘The line then travels from the reel directly through the line guides on the {rod. An 18-pound test bait casting silk line is generally sufficient for ordinary . First take a cheap or old line and wind 20 or 30 yards on the reel. ‘This serves as a filler and the advantage of using it is that it is then not neces- of first-quality line. The filler line sel- dom leaves the reel when casting and therefore need not be an expensive one. placing your line on the reel use the same method as described last week by Rod and Stream. or, if you failed to read it, just push a pencil through the center of the spol and then place the ends of it between the knees or have some one hold it for you. Put the loose end of the line through the top guide of the rod and then follow down the rod through the other guides to the reel. Tie the line to the filler and wind the line on the reel. It is advisable to use a wire leader on the end of the line. These leaders serve two urposes. First, it prevents the fish from cutting the line, and, seccnd, it is much more convenient to change lures, s a snap is attached to the leader. ‘When the lure is attached to the leader you are all ready for casting. Let the lure hang about 4 inches from the end of the rod. Use vour wrist, and not your entire arm, if you desire to cast with the least effort and the greatest efficiency. There are three disti movements to each cast. After | grasp the rod in the right hand. not too tightly around the grip, turn the wrist until the reel is in a vertical position, handle on the upper side. Then place | the thumb on the spcol of the reel, point_the tip of the rod at the targe at which you wish to cast, allowing the lure to hang about 4 inches from ithe rod. In an easy manner bring the |rod back over your right shoulder to |an angle of about 45 degr | bring the rod forward with steady. | sweeping mction, with the tip of the rod following the path of the lure in its forward flight toward the spot you | wish the lure to be cast. Release the | thumb at the beginning of the down- ‘ward movement the instant the lure | starts ~traveling forward, which will allow the lure to be shot into the air |and out over the water. the lure is still in the air the rod should be chenged from the it in readiness for retrieving. There are several methods for retrieving. One is to reel in with a uniform speed and the other to reel in a few feet, then stop, and then reel in a few more feet This latter method, in the opinion of many anglers, is more productive of results than when a steady speed el) used in reeling. The level winding de~ vice winds the line evenly on the reel, 80 that no attention whatsoever need be given the spooling of the line. This permits closely watching the lure as it is retrieved and allows the caster to concentrate his entire attention on the strike and realize the joys and thrills of watching the fish make its leaps and ‘The cast described above is the over- head one and the one in general use today. Another is called the side cast, commonly known as the sldeswii)e.

BY FRANCIS. E. STAN. EARLY half a hundred of the Capital’s star bowlers this morning were to in- augurate the first annual George Washington Sweepstakes at the Lucky Strike, an event that by tonight may have had a dis- tinct bearing on the Washington City Duckpin Association’s No. 1 ranking bowler for 1931-32. The stakes certain to draw a fleld at least the equal of that which par- ticipated in the classic Howard Camp- bell Stakes, represents one of the final major sweepstakes' tests of the season for the District’s pinspillers. The first block was to begin at 11 o'clock this morning; the second at 2:30 pm., with the final slated for 8 pm.—15 games in all. Whether it will have a bearing on the ranking, which is sure to be one of the hardest ever undertaken by the Selection Committee, depends en- tirely upon who wins, but the possibili- ties are manifold. The field is not strictly an all-star one. The stakes bearing the name of the great patriot was designed by Pro- moter Bill Wood to appeal to the near- stars as well as to the aces and this fact, while minimizing the chances of one of the potential No. 1 ranking bowlers of winning, also enhances his chances should he triumph. 'ODAY there are several names al- most daily in front of the bowl- ing public because of their bids for the coveted title. Yet to choose from such men as Astor Clarke, Red Megaw, Ollie Pacini, Max Rosenberg, Paul Harrison, Earl McPhilomy, Bob Temple, Hokie Smith and others now would be a delicate task. Megaw, who possibly is the lcading candidate for the crown, has not won a sweepstakes title this seascn,. yet is topping the District League in average, after all—the feat which generally counts the most. Could the Northeast Temple captain triumph tonight he would have the No. 1 title locked up— providing he maintains his average. Clarke has a record-smashing avere age in the National Capital League— 124 plus. So hes Rosenberg. Yet | neither has won a special event. The | George Washingten Stakes crown would | b2 sure to pull in several votes for one of this pair, ACINI'S case is the opposite, today at least. The Italian star, while 1‘ holding good averages in both of | Washington’s major loops, bases his | claim matnly on his Dixie Sweepstakes |victory. Could he add the George Washington title to the Dixie he prob= ably could afford to trafl Clarke, Rosene berg and Megaw by several pins. | _ Harrison, McPhilemy, Temple Smith are much like the District National Capital League leaders in | they ere holding brilliant paces in eral loops and could add considerably to their potency with a major stakes victory. Brad Mandley has a couple of great averages, but Mandley must roll many games to qualify. | mmm, | N the other hand, with so many near-stars and bowlers with no | chance for the No. 1 ranking en- | tered and dangerous, it is possible for | the George Washington Sweepstakes to | end with the situation just as muddled | as before. Sheuld an outsider win, it | would hardly give him enough prestige | for a ranking and at the same time | keep one who really could use the plum | from gaining. If the entries today fulfilled the ex- pectations of Bill Wood, the George Washington would compare favorably with any stakes as far as richness was concerned, despite that the entry fee cf $15 is considerably lower than that levied for most big events.
