o WILL TOIE AS HARD IN SPRING AS FALL Schedule Gives Colonials No Chance to Loaf—G. W. Quint Praiseworthy. BY H. C. BYRD. ARD foot ball, and plenty of it, seems to be in store for George Washington's squad this Spring as well as next Fall. Wednesday thc Colonials get out for their first Spring practice and, if the intention of the coaches counts for anything, they face the most difficult series of workouts they have ever had at this time of year. Apparently the squad will be sent through its paces just about as if it were getting ready forereal games. The two vacant spots on the schedule| have been filled, one with Catawba Col- | lege here for the opening September 30 | and the other with North Dakota Uni- | versity at Grand Forks October 6. After these contests come consecutively games with Clemson, Auburn, West Virginia Wesleyan, Tennessee, Washington and | Jefferson, Tulsa, and North Carolina State. And these games are likely to tax to the utmost the energies of the local school, even if it does have avail- able for its 1933 team some excellent material. TWENTY—ONE members of last Fall's varsity squad and 22 members of the freshman squad, will take part in Spring training and be asked to re- turn for early workouts in the Fall. Probably the best of the varsity hold- overs are Johnny Baker, quarterback; Finis Parrish, Nig McCarver, halfbacks; Chris Doose, fullback; Ozie Wray and Hardy Pearce, tackles, and Stewart and Hickman, guards. The besi men from the freshman squad are Rathjem, cen- ter; Kolker and Harris, guards; Volk- man and Deming, tackles; Vonder- Bruegge and Benefied, ends; Plotnicki, quarterback; Leemans, Morrisison, half- backs, and Drury and Bomba, fullbacks. ‘The only local boy in the list to re- turn is Kolker, former Tech High tackle. He probably will bs used at guard, and it is expected that he will make good. Kriemelmeyer and Blackistone, formerly of Tech and Central, were members of last year’s team, but both have finished, Spring practice will be largely under the direction of Leon Walsh, general as- sistant coach to Jim Prixley. It is the intention of the coaches at this time to give the squad a much rougher scries | of workouts than were encompassed in | Spring practice last year. The whole aspect of the practice will be that of a squad getting ready to play foot balk. ITH two such milers on its 4-mile relay tecam as Gene Venzke and Carl Coan, and two others of the ability of McKniff and Dean, there should be no surprise that Pennsylvania | broke the world's indoor record for a 4-mile team in a meet at Buffalo Satur- | day night. Not only that, but it should | come pretty close to turning the same | trick outdoors when the same four men face the mark in the 4-mile champion- | ship event in the Penn relays. The new | record is 17 minutes 21.7 seconds, which | clips about 22 seconds off the old record. } EORGETOWN not only did itself proud in the closing game of its basket ball schedule, but deserved unusual credit for its achievement in beating Carnegie Tech because it pre- dicted it would, even after it had been defeated out at Pittsburgh. The Blue and Gray put on a regular thriller, too, in making good, scoring 43 points against the visitors 41. Very few bas- | ket ball games, with so many points | scored, wind up with the two teams only two points apart. It has not been a brilliant season for | Georgetown, as far as victories are con- cerned, as it has lost more games than | it won: but it played good basket ball | from the first game on through. It seemed that in some of the contests, the team just could not get under the wire, as it was nosed out by a bare mar- gin. Georgetown has little in its season for which it should feel regret, and its achievements in its last two games against Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech deserve special commendation. Y the end of this week, there should be more real driving foot ball prac- tice going on than has been known to these parts in many years, perhaps more than ever has been known. The University of Maryland is going through some hard Spring workouts for the first time, and intends to keep on with them until it develops something of what it may expect next Fall. Catholic Uni- versity and Georgetown began last week, and George Washington gets under way Wednesday. American University also plans for some strenuous play the last of this and next month, so that actually five universities by the first of April will be banging away with their squads in a fashion that should make it seem | very much as if Fall practice were | starting. As a matter of fact, Spring | practice virtually is a part of Fall prac- tice, as the squads usually take up in September where they leave off in April. ARTHER South, many of the schools are finishing Spring foot ball. They are able to get on the field earlier, almost all Winter, and aim to wind up before Spring sports get very far along in their development. Some of the South Atlantic institutions are having the longest and most thorough drills in their history. Especially is this true of Virginia, where the great majority of last Fall's varsity are to be lost by graduation. — = HOPE TO KEEP TITLE Oklahoma Aggies Out to Repeat Track Triumph. Around a nucleus of four individual champlons Coach Roy W. Kenny is building an Oklahoma Aggie track team which he hopes will retain the M | Valley Conference title.

TITLE YALE FIVE'S FIRST IN 10 YEARS Laurels Clinched as Penn Beats Tigers—Pitt Quint League Victor. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, March 13—Ater nine lean years, Yale has cap- tured the championship of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League. And to Penn's sophomores the Elis owe a vote of thanks, for it was Penn which upset Princeton's highly fa- vored Tigers in the league's closing game Saturday night, 29-28, ruined the Tigers last chance of tying for first lace and thus clinched the crown for ale without further argument. Yale had completed her campaign last week with eight victories and two defeats and faced the prospect of a play-off for the title with Princeton had the Tigers beaten Penn. ALE, lining up usually with Carson Elliott and Earl Nikkel 'at for- ‘ward, Capt. Bob O’Connell at cen- ter, and Reggie Miles and Ben Reese at guard, dropped its openng league game to Dartmouth and later bowed to Princeton, but won all eight of its other league clashes by margins of from 1 to 24 points. The Elis last won the title in 1923, . Princeton offered the league's scor- ing champion in Lank Siebert, who scored 103 points in nine games. Ken Fairman of Princeton was second with 101; Nikkel third with 91; Len Hartman of Columbia, fourth with 86; Bob Free- man of Penn fifth with 80, and O'Con- nell and Al Bonniwell of Dartmouth tied for sixth with 79, ‘The final standings: Yale ..

YALE AND PRINCETON TIE FOR STAR BERTHS Each Places Two, Columbia One on Eastern Intercollegiate Mythical Quint. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. NIW YORK, March 13.—Yale and Princeton gain two berths each and Columbia one on the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League's all- star team, selected by the six coaches for the Associated Press today. Picked by this method for the ninth successive year, the 1933 all-star array includes Ken Fairman of Princeton and Earl Nikkel of Yale at the for- ward positions, Bob O'Connell of Yale at center and Johnny Grebauskas of Princeton and Len Hartman of Colum- bia at the guard posts. Fairman was the only unanimous choice. He received six first-choice bal- lots, good for the maximum of 12 points. Nikkel, Grebauskas and O'Connell also overshadowed all opposition, but Hart- man was given a close battle by Ken Hashagen of Penn and George Stangle of Dartmouth. ‘The Columbia star received four points . [ for guard and two for forward, al- ; | though he played most of the season at. the former position. His aggregate of six points earned him the final place on the first team by a margin of one vote over Hashagen and two over Stangle. Stangle and Hashagen thus drop back to the second team with Lank Seibert of Princeton, the league's individual scoring champion, and Al Bonniwell of Dartmouth at forward and Karl Larsen of Princeton at center. COACH MAY ORATE NOW Madigan of St. Mary's Is Presented With Blarney Stone. MORAGA, Calif. (#).—If tradition be true, the stirring half-time pep talks of Edward P.

Whole Body Comes Into Action Even on Shortest Shots, Says Jones, Explaining Pitch Play BY BOBBY JONES. The only man who ever held the Amer- ican amatsur and open championship and British amateur and open championship in one yea ARION B. DAVIS' of Elkridge, Md., asks the following: “At what distance do you begin to use pitch shots? “Is the stroke a straight left-arm stroke and if so how full a swing do you give it, or is it more of & forearm and wrist stroke? What irons do you use for it?” In the modern-day set golf clubs, all numbers from 5 up are conven- tionally designated “pitching clubs,” the irons being the numbers 4, 3, 2 and 1. It is not unusual to hear ref- erence to a mashie-pitch (the mashie corresponding to the modern number 5), but one never hears or conceives of a pitch with a mid-iron. More specifically, though, the true pitching clubs are the mashie niblics, 7 and 8, and the niblic, clubs which are of ‘3{: loft that they are of little use for“nything but pitching. Txx real pitch-shot, under normal conditions, is rarely over 130 to 140 yards for even an expert player, and the distance would be proportion- ately less for players with less power at their command. Normal shots with the 5 and 6 are executed in almost ly the same way as with the more lofted irons, 4 and 8. From a distance of 125 or 130 yards intd the hole, when conditions demand a pitch, I employ the three clubs, 7, 8 and niblic. Assuming that there tion amateur tmxr-h;!l% gg( t'x?um;- eating Tommy mowdm‘w'z:. gfl;dfmw‘ N. Y., and Albert &, Hakes of Dunkirk, N. ¥, 2 and L is no following wind or unusual hard- nsm of the putting surface to make un- usual tactics necessary, I begin, at the outer distances, pla s riectly straightforward shot,yhx‘:fmngp:m at- tempt to cut across the ball. Indeed, I often prefer to bring the shot in from right to left, with a slight draw, relying upon the loft of the club and the downward direction of the, blow to produce all the backspin required. 8 the distance becomes less, 1t be- | d comes increasingly difficult to ap- ly sufficient stopping spin. . This fact demands progressive &ngu to more lofted clubs, until the niblic is reached. From this point in, so long as the necessity for pitching remains, it becomes a matter of modifyin stroke to meet the requirements shot which the club alone cannot care for. It is then that I have recourse to a sort of cut-shot, played with the ball a bit farther forward, the face of the club laid back, and a stroke cross- ing slightly from the outside in. stroke, even for the shortest dis- tances, should never be attempted with the wrists and hands alone, or even with-the arms in conjunction with these two. Proportionate to the length of the shot, the turning of the body and shoul- | P132 ders, and the use of the Jegs should be the same as in any other swing. In- deed. it is my feeling, that it is, if anything, more important here than elsewhere to swing the club head. The swing should be leisurely, of ample length, and with a perceptible flick at the bottom. (Copyright, 1938, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

At his father’s advice, Walker gave up pitching and tried the infield. He then took up outfielding, made good in a big way with Newark of the Interna- tional League last year and was called in by the Yanks. He may. in anotier season or two, take over Babe Ruth's right field patrol. Like Chapman, he is very fast on the base lines. He batted .350 against In- ternational League pitching last season.

Last year the sectional rounds for the amateur and open were held | over Washington, with the open tourney trials going to Congressional in June and the amateur test going to Chevy Chase in August. This year the same procedure is to be followed. It is vir- tually certain that any well-known Washington club which now applies for the amateur trials with the backing of the District Golf 7! vi e Association will get pLANS for formation of a new golf organization, to be made up en- tirely of professionals from the Washington area, will come up at the meeting of pros tomorrow at Kenwood.
