SPORTS. RNG TEAM, QUNT | HERE TOMORROW Former at C. U., Latter at Maryland as Part of Double-Header. HE most attractive collegiate cards of the indoor season will be unveiled tomorrow night when Maryland’s basket ball team entertains Duke’s quint in the first half of a twin bill at Ritchie Coliseum, which will find the Terp mittman fussing with Richmond in the night-cap, while Catholic University's ring team staks up against a favored Duke aggregation at Brookland gym. ‘While Maryland already has been conceded the 145-pound and light- heavyweight engagements, Richmond nevertheless figures to give the Terps trouble in the 125-pound and 155- pound divisions. In order to fill out | the fistic program two scraps in each | of these weight classes will be fought. Thus the second appearance of Lancelot Jacques, cherubic 175-pound- | er who scored an amazing upset de- cision victory over Tony Ortenzi last | week when the Old Line fist flingers | trimmed Western Maryland, will be delayed. Ivan Nedomatsky, Southern | Conference welterweight ~champton, | also will be forced to 1dle. Boxers Are Selected. (JOACH HARVEY L.

Radcliff, hard-hitting Sox outfielder, at his home in Enid, Okla., said he had rejected two contracts and was thinking of turning down a third. WARNEKE “PROFESSOR” | Card Hurler to Be Aide at Doan Base Ball School. | HOT SPRINGS, Ark., January 15 (#).—Ray Doan has announced that he has signed Lon Warneke, St. Louis | Cardinal right-hander, &s a hurling “professor” at his base ball school | here February 15-April 1.

And also the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. Oh, Is That So? S KENNEDY came back to his corner after the ninth round, ac- cording to the story as he told it, his second must have whacked him across the face extremely hard with the sponge. Something happened to Les’ mind. Blandly, he asked: “What round is this, the third?” His second looked at him in amazement. . “This is the tenth coming up,” he answered. “You're way out in the front. Just stay on your feet this last heat. You've been outboxing him ever since the second.” Kennedy had been “out on his feet” from the third round through the ninth. Yet, round after round, he outboxed Poreda and actually won & decision ‘without knowing it. Here was a man who certainly could not have heard a whisper. But this is straying too far for a reformist. Why can not a college ooach, who certainly could help his charges more expertly, actually sec- ond his boys from the corner instead of having to sit down on a bench and convey his messages by an assistant boxing manager? And why are colleges—that is, all except District schools—given prac- tically all the say regarding the iden- tity of the referee? Why can not the intercollegiate association arrange to have a different referee at Charlottes- ville, College Park or Durham every week?

U. isa favorite on strength of the records. Gallaudet, however, is basing its hopes on three veterans—Race Drake, expecting support from two promising | newcomers, Glen Rice and George Hanson.

PPLICATION of the amateur rule, as adopted by the United States Golf Association, to the U. S. L. T. A, likewise would throw many nationally-known netmen out of amateur ranks. The rule, which bars players because of affi- liation with sporting goods houses, would affect Maurice E. McLaugh- lin, William M. Johnston, John R. Strachan, Thomas C. Bundy, Ro- land Roberts and Fred Alexander, among others. Athletics would be greatly stiia- ulated throughout the country by adoption of the “daylight saving” play, according to Fred W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U. By ending his work an hou: earl- ier, the tennis player, golfer and ball player would have an extra 60 minutes of sunlight. Fred Fulton, recent conqueror of Tom Cowler, predicts that he would win the heavyweight cham- pionship if ever given the chance to meet Jess Willard. He cites his youth of 25 years against that of Willard, whom he states as be- ing 38, despite popular conception to the contrary. With Dog BY GEORGE HUBER. MILD argument is going on in Virginia, with sportsmen on | one side and the Commission | of Game and Inland Fisheries | ‘The point in question A on the other. is whether or not hawks and crows and should be allowed to go their way in peace. Sportsmen are all in favor of extermination; the commission is not. | The commission is very lonely at| present; no one is supporting its posi- | tion. It claims that the birds in ques- tion are “farmers’ friends,” but even the farmers disagree. Only the small- er, weaker birds and animals are at- | tacked, and these would not survive anyway; or if they did survive would not make good brood stock. That is On the other hand farmers are loud .in their complaints about the amount of pouliry de- stroyed by these predacious birds. What they do to poultry they do‘ likewise to quail, pheasants, woodcock and the like. Sportsmen themselves are offering bounties and going out crow and hawk hunting in an effort to save game from destruction. It is admitted that game is able to fend for itself in thickets, brush and woods, but the next time you go on a hunting trip notice how the crows and hawks patrol clearings and fenced areas, waiting for a chance to pounce on defenseless birds. And the funny part of it all is that several years ago the commission of- fered over $1,000 in prizes for the destruction of game-destroying ver- min, in a list of which crows and hawks had a prominent place. Wildcats Are Vermin. IN ‘WEST VIRGINIA these two birds are listed as vermin by the Conser- vation Commission, which is offering bounties amounting to $40 in each county in an effort to control their activities. A point system of rating vermin has been established, with wildcat leading all the rest with a value of 1,000 points. Also on the approved list, in de- scending order of importance, are hunting house cat, gray fox, weasel, great horned owl, pigeon hawk, gos- hawk, sharp-skin hawk, coopers hawk, mud turtle, water dog, water snake, rattlesnake, copperhead snake, crow, red squirrel, garfish and common rat, this latter beast being worth just 25 points. and Gun of vermin killed in the drive, with Mingo County leading with 350.048 specimens, of which 38.101 were water dogs, which are harmful to fish.

It would be well for sports- men living in sections where game is found to do their part toward sup- plying food and shelter during the cold spell. Only a small amount of feed- ing should be done at this time, however, as game should not be induced to neglect sources of natural foods while they still are accessible. Most Winter feeding is started too late to be effective. If a limited amount is done now, in advance of heavy snowfalls, game soon will learn the location of feeding stations by the time natural foods are closed. For song and insectiveous birds, pieces of suet attached to trees, crumbs, small | grains and bird seed placed in shel- | tered locations, will be effective in preventing starvation. Quail, pheasants and other ground- feeding birds can be fed with scratch grain mixed with a little grit and scattered under evergreens or lean-to shelters set up close to dense escape cover. All feeding stations should be constructed and located so as to afford opportunities for quick escape upon the approach of predatory ani- mals and birds. In Maryland, supplies of grain for feeding game birds may be secured free of cost by applying to the nearest salaried district game warden. Feeding station construction is sim- plicity itself. All that is necessary is to find a sheltered place where quail or other game birds are in the habit of frequenting and erect a small cover, the easiest type of which is a lean-to. Another type has a ride pole sup- ported by sticks at each end and on which brush or cornstalks is placed. SPESSARD STAYS HOME. LEXINGTON, Va. January 14 (®).

ITASK T0 BALANCE TEAM CONTESTS System of Play for D. C. Tournaments. BY W. R. McCALLUM. REPARING for their usual heavy schedule of golf events stretching from late April un- til November, woman golfers of the city are thinking over their season events and next month will get to work arrangag the tourneys that will open with the playing of the Keeler Memorial Cup affair at Wash- ington in April. Mrs. Ralph W. Payne of Congres- sional, president of the District Wom- en's Golf Association, has given much thought to a plan for the team matches that will bring the teams from each club together on one course, but she admits it will be quite a job balancing With 125 or more feminine goifers playing in team contests every week it's quite a job arranging the schedule in a manner acceptable to all. N Must Get ’i‘;n;ey Chairman. OR have Mrs, Payne and the Ex- Tournament Committee chairman. Mrs. J. F. Dowdall headed this com- serve as chairman this year. Mrs. Payne has a choice in mind, but has not made the appointment. A meeting of the Executive Com- mittee will be held late in February, at which committee appointments will be announced and a tentative sched- ule of tournaments will be made pub- lic, to be published later in the book- let furnished to all the woman golf- ers around Washington. The women have quite an organi- zation, operated in an efficilent man- ner, as it has to be to handle the varied events that dot the schedule from April to November. Team Matches Make Problem. 'HIEF of the problems confronting the executives is the one of the team matches. With six players on each team, there were seven teams in the first group: seven in the sec- | group last year. Probably all groups this gear will include the full total of eight teams, which will add to the already heavy burden of the team captains and the tournament chairman. But this year Mrs. Payne has an idea that the duties of the tournament chairman may be lightened somewhat by re- questing the golf committee of each club to do the actual work on each tournament and have the chairman | oversee the job instead of handling all details herself, as has been the case in past years. Another big year looms for the fair golfers around Washington, but they have an organization equipped to han- dle all phases of the job. The growth of woman's golf has been remarkable here. | WIN BOOSTS WOODWARD | versity fell victim to a last-half St.| | John's rally and was trounced 40-30.

It works out around Washington that way, for three little guys among the pros of the Capital generally are regarded as tops among the men who | can whack that ball closest to the cup after missing the green. George Dif- fenbaugh, District open king; Dave Thomson, pro at Washington Goif and Country Club, and Fred McLeod of Columbia piled on top of each other wouldn't stretch much more than 16 feet into the air, all three of 'em. Nor would their combined weight be a great deal more than that of two normal big men, despite George Dif- fenbaugh’s increased girth. Yet these three little guys, day after day, show their mastery of the chip and the short pitch as few other pros show it. ‘The same thing worked out in Bob Jones' case. No man ever could call Bob a giant. He's about 5 feet 7 inches tall, and in his best golf trim weighs around 170 pounds, which means he is built close to the ground. Yet for deadly chipping there have been few men in the history of the game who have been his equal. He | missed as many greens as most of | the topnotchers, but in his winning | days he had the knack of getting that | | chip shot close enough to the cup to whack down the putt. Can it be that size has anything to do with accur- ate chipping? Closer to Shot. EORGE DIFFENBAUGH laugh- ingly admits that it's his close- ness to the ground that helps him with those delicate little chip shots | that go scooting across the edge of the greem to bring up close to the cup. “Why sure, we little guys have | the edge on the big fellows on those shots. Aren't we closed to the ball, and to the ground, and therefore closer to the shot. And can't we see the line better because we are close? Sure, we've got the bulge on the big | boys on those shots. But then they have so much edge on the tee shots | where. And they still pay off on getting the ball into the cup.” Dave Thomson isn't so long from the tee. but he's a wizard at getting that ball into the hole. Take yesterday, for example. Fair- ways are slow these days and Davie can't whack the ball much more than 225 yards when he hits it well.| But he scored a 71 over his home course just the same, grabbing four birds en route, and chipping and putting like a Jones at his best. Nor is Fred McLeod one cf the big Entire Stock of Better ENTIRE ST $2.50 to $5 Values inclu down collars, kent col desirable fabrics chip shot or a short pitch | thet we have to make it up some- ! hitters of the world. He isn’t short from the tee, but he can’t whack 'em 250 yards on the carry. Yet the day when Fred slips over 73 for a round at Columbia is a bad day for the North Berwick man. Cooper Fine Chipper. SURE these little guys have the bulge on the big boys on the chip and the short pitch. The whole history of | golf shows that. Of course there’s a | tall, string bean sort of fellow named Horton Smith who isn't such a louzy chipper himself, but Horton is the exception. On the other hand, among the small men who are winning the heavy dough along the tournament circuit these days, Harry Cooper comes close to being tops as a chipper. The big boys may have the edge on the long range shots, but the little fellows have it all over them like a tent on the more delicate shots. “Let the big boys whack out those lengthy tee shots. We'll take up the slack around the cup,” grins George Diffenbaugh. “Golf still is a game played from tee | to cup and as long as a fellow can chip | and putt he isn't going to lose many golf matches.” Stepping out among the amateurs you could go a long way and not find a little guy who can chip and putt like Gene Pittman, the Congressional star. Gene can’t whack the ball so far from the tee, but he's a mighty man with the short shots. Maybe there is some- thing to this stature business on the short side of the game, after all, WESTERN TANKERS HIT Several Stars Plunk in Classes. Team Visits Mercersburg.
