B—10 =* 8 PORTS, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH 3, 1935—PART ONE. SPORTS. mm MATERIAL HANDY FOR CRACK TEAM Garrett Parkers Played 30| Matches Last Season and Won All. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OOKING forward to another year of successful interscholas- tic competition (the lads have been tops in schoolboy golf around the Capital for the last four or five years) the golf team of George- town Prep: School is being organized these days with another clean sweep of the scholastic events in mind. The Little Hoyas will lack the in- spired leadership of such lads as Frank Allan, metropolitan schoolboy champion, and Maury Nee, prob- ably the best schoolboy golfer around ‘Washington for the last two years, but in their places have come along a group of free-swinging youngsters who can make a golf ball sit up and bite itself at their bidding. Under the leadership of Frank Emmett, direc- tor of athletics at the Garrety Park school, the G. U. Prep team shapes up this year as another of those lar- ruping aggregations which Emmett has been in the habit of putting out each year, like the outfit of last sea- son, which played 30 team matches with aggregations throughout the East, and won 'em all, and placed sec- ond in the national interscholastic title Ekky Will Rule In Royal Colony By the Associated Press. EXINGTON, Ky, March 2.— The mighty Equipoise will be the plutocrat of this thorough- bred horse center when he comes here this month to join other kings of the turf in a life of retire- ment on bluegrass pastures. Second only to Sun Beau as the turf's all-time money winner, Ekky boasts a larger bank roll than Man O'War, Supremus, Dis- play, Sweep, Misstep, Upset, John P. Grier, Infinite, Flight of Time, Burgoo King, Broker's Tip and Bubbling Over, who preceeded him in_retirement. Ekky, whose earnings of approxi- mately $330,000 during his six-year racing career are surpassed only by the $376,744 of the famous Sun Beau, was retired to the stud after .pulling up lame in the Santa Anita Handicap a week ago. - If he had won that race he would have surpassed Sun Beau, who is in retirement in the East.

ATURALLY tall, lanky, Billy Dettweiler, the Congressional kid, who will be 17 years old this year and is starring in basket ball at Garrett Park, will be the| topliner of the golf team. But to hear Emmett lalk you will gather that | Billy, as good as he is, is going to have a tough time of it with several other youngsters in maintaining _the No. 1 spot on the golf team. Such! lads as Bob Troutman from Atlanta, Ga.. a town which has been in the habit of producing good golfers ever since the early days of Perry Adair and Bob Jones; Ross Muenzen, a protege of George Dunlap from New Rochelle, N. Y., and Ray Higgins of Duluth are apt,to make Billy Dett- weiler hustle for the top spot, in| Emmett's opinion. Others who will| be eligible for the team this year include Hughes Spalding, another | Atlanta boy, who is the captain of | the team, and Austin Parks from | Roxbury School in Connecticut. \ First year boys who will play on‘ the varsity next year include Jackie Dettweiler, the 13-year-old brother of Billy, and a member of Congres- sional; son of the base ball umpire; Jules | Titus of Army-Navy, and Joe Meseck of Jersey City, N. J. But Emmett is not satisfied with sending the G. U. Prep boys out on the championship chase, away from | their private course at Garrett Park. | He is planning another metropolitan schoolboy tournament, just as he | staged last year, when Frank Allan won the tournament from Mike Oli- veri, and Maury Nee went down in | the first round before determined little Bobby Brownell, the kid who | later won the District junior crown. | ‘The dates of May 24, 25 and 26, have | been set tentatively for the metropoli- | tan schoolboy tournament and it prob. ably will be played at Indian Spring, | Manor and Congressional, with r.he‘ final at the last-named club just as | it was played last year. Allan, the | title-holder, will not be eligible this year, for the Scranton, Pa., lad is out | of prep school attending Georgewwn; University, while Maury Nee is doing | his golfing around South Bend, Ind., where he is tabbed as a paslble varisty end on the foot ball team next !

G.F.Pt: again for their little private competi- | §ich, tion for the Dawes Cup, with Western again sitting on top of the heap. ‘The Western boys, with Shea and Higgins as the spear-heads of their teams, won in a walk last year, but Roosevelt and Brownell and Oliveri | will have something to say about the winning of the Dawes Cup this year. ‘r No arrangements have yet come to | light for an individual interscholastic | championship among the high school lads in Washington. To hear Emmett tell it, the Trout- man boy is due to be the big thorn in Billy Dettweiler's side this year out at G. U. Prep. “He has been below 70 several times over our course here at Garrett Park,” Emmett says, “and I think if he could beat Billy a couple of times it would give him the con- fidence he needs. He is a good golfer, and one who can win in any company. but Billy is the boss and the mark the boys are all shooting at.” The Dettweiler boy is not a hero worshiper to the point where it affects his golf game. Neither is Bobby Brownell. For both of them last year handed Maury Nee a trouncing when the Nee boy was looked upon as the best scholastic club-swinger around the Capital. Most of the schoolboys who are members of the local clubs will be eligible to play in the District Junior championship at Kenwood, scheduled for June 26, 27 and 28. Any way you take it, it looks like a big year for golf among the schoolboys. From their ranks come our future champioms. Golf Course Changed. EVERAL changes have been made in the golf course of the Princess Anne Club, where the Middle Atlantic Golf Asscciation champion- ship is due to be played in June. Greens have been changed at the sixth, ninth and sixteenth, while other changes™ include bunkering and re- arrangement of tees. The course. ac- cording to Nat Bundy, chairman of the Greens Committee, will play much the same as the outstanding layout on which several big tournaments have been played, but will be a better golf course this year than ever before.

HERE are some breeds of dogs whose ancestry is lost in the mists of antiquity. The Afghan hound end the saluki are two such. Effigies of these are found in the tombs of the East, similar in every respect to the modern repre- sentatives of these breeds. But there are other breeds, developed for certain, specific purposes, which have been created within the memory of many dog fanciers still living. By far the most popular of these created breeds is the Boston terrier, an offshoot in the creation of the bull terrier. Both were the result of the crossing of the English bull dog with the white English terrier. The former was designed to fill the need of a game little house dog. a pet that was not a toy. The latter was created as a fighting machine. Both fill their functions admirably. Another breed, created in recent years to meet a specific need, is the Airedale. This dog is a cross between the otter hound and the black and tan English terrier with a dash of dandie and a seasoning of bull terrier. He combines the vermin instinct of the terrier with the scenting ability of the hound and has weight and “fight” enough to tackle anything with a fair chance of success. He often is used in the mountainous sections of this country for hunting bear and other big game. It is said that he is simi- larly employed in India and Africa. ERRY .is a black Scotty that takes his exercise on a trolley, a long wire strung between the back porch and e tree at the end of the yard. His mistress hauls up the leash which she keeps looped over the trolley and attaches it to Terry's collar, then Terry marches down the porch steps, takes what exercise he wants and comes back up. This scheme works beautifully, but had one drawback. The llm lTu-h pemmeamd in tripping poor ‘erry up, just as often as not he landed at the foot of the stairs a little before expected to.

HILABEG KILTIE, Scottish ter- rier, is nursing six little Scotch- men. Kiltie’s housemate is a Sealyham maiden lady of very precise and prim habits. When Kiltie found that her time had come she appro- priated the Sealy’s bed, but not for long. Mistress Sealy sensed that something unusual was happening, but when she saw that Kiltie had de- posited a new baby in her bed she was outraged. She feared for her reputation. Her indignation wes su- preme. In her fury she jumped stiff- legged up and down like a doggy marionette, and would not be ap- peased until Kiltie, baby and all were removed not only from her bed, but also from the premises. HERE is entirely too much hokum written and told about dog food. While it is undoubtedly true that the natural food of the dog is meat, and that the dog’s stom- ach is not designed for the digestion of starches, yet the dog in normal health can readily assimilate a small amount of starchy food, especially if his diet contains a little fat. Some veterinarians are of the opinion that well-cooked rice, a food that is al- most enurely starch, is very easily digested by all dogs. And a certain collie kennel noted for the superb condition of its dogs uses huge quan- tities of macaroni in its feeding program.

Both Furr and the auditorium seem to stand about the same chance of | enjoying a successful return to box- ing. The local welterweight cham- pion, battling under his third man- ager within eight months, will oppose a ranking ringster—ninth ranking on some lists—when he tackles Davis, who has been in the ring with many of the best.

Last year Davis went to the post 22 times, winning 10 wecisions, drawing six times and losing six bouts.

Y, March 2—‘ “Has the Makings"—Dundee. UNDEE, who also pilots Ken Overlin, is sold on Furr as a potential money-maker and run- ning mate for Overlin, who at present is highly ranked among the country’s middleweights. “If Phil gets past Davis,” declares Dundee, “we’ll be ready to shoot him | into either New York or Chicago for a build-up.

It's the show that counts and to judge from reports, O'Mahoney can stage a show with his patented “Irish Whip.” which means grabbing an opponent by his arm and swinging him in a circle over the head. It may sound a little impossible, but it is done. | nevertheless, and with Grobmier the skinniest rassler in practice, the “whip” should work to perfectign Thursday. ‘The rest of the card follows: Rudy Dusek vs. Abe Goldberg, Boris Dem- itroff vs. Dick Daviscort, and Sandor Szabo vs. Andy Rascher.

But the winner was in front again at the end of the eighth game and was never headed thereafter, al- though Davidson made a brave effort to overtake him in the final game by | rolling 126 to 112. Jack Whalen, who several years ago was classed with the best in the country, was a conspicuous entry. Natural ability put him in the run- ning for the first five games with 610, but the former Convention Hall star found it takes lots of practice these RUNYAN'S 66 NETS LEAD IN TOURNEY His 136 Tops Laffoon by Two Strokes in Florida West Coast Event.
