B—6 Tech Extends Wilson; Roosevelt Barely Nips Western Tigers and Riders Each Triumph by 2 Points, Latter in Overtime By GEORGE HUBER. Hardly having recovered from a football season that provided thrills to the end, high school athletes are promised by the early pace a basket ball series that will give its fol- lowers the screaming meamies. All the snow was shaken off the Tech gym roof early in yesterday’s double-header and thereafter the engineers were piping enough steam from the room to heat the entire school for a week so hot was the pace from start to finish. To open things an underrated Tech team led most of the way before going down before a strong-finishing Wil- son quint, 28-26, and if that wasn't enough even more heat was gen- erated in the finale when Roosevelt finally topped Western, 38-36, in two overtimes. Tech furnished plenty of surprises in the opening game. With Knobby Mater playing a smart floor game to lead his team, the Maroons worked to & 9-3 edge in the first period and continued in front, 14-9, at the half and led by 22-17 going into the final frame. The Tigers finally got going at this point, however, and registered 7 straight points to pull in front be- fore Tech’s Bob Brewer scored to knot the count at 24-all. Don Hil- lock, Wilson’s All-High center, and Charley Hardison then combined for 4 points to supply enough margin to offset the swisher registered by Hank Pizza just before the game ended. a " 2 | omormroom | o oam1000 Totals_ & 12 28 _ Total That tight opener was enough to | satisfy the most chrill-hungry fan | SPORTS.

Board members are to be elected at an all-day election Monday and at night the board will get together to choose club officers and commit- tee chairmen. Harry G. Pitt, golf chairman, is expected to be re- named, since Harry will become president of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association this year, and will be in charge of the association championship, scheduled for Manor in June.

Here and there many of the youngsters weren’t to be found in| their usual haunts—they had joined up. Oldsters, too, along in the fall, | dropped out to busy themselves on defense jobs. Charter skippers slipped | away from their regular berths and were encountered later in Coast Guard uniforms with their boats painted the familiar gray. It was a good year, nevertheless, for fishermen, about average for up- land hunters and best not mentioned to most who find their fun in gun- ning for water fowl. But the outlook for 1942 is con- fusing. Ranks to Thin This Year. This year will find a still greater Jessening of the ranks of sportsmen. Many who hit the highways in cars last summer will be missing. Those who have good shoes on the old backs will get by for a while if there is no shortage of gasoline. There might be some thought n(‘ bikes, but remember they, too, roll| on rubber. | Trips will be to nearby grounds, | not down to the North Carolina coast for & day or two. These thoughts aren’t pessimistic. When the pinch comes those left of the barb and bullet guys who | Boston | first, United States Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of In- teirior will not find it necessary to move the executive offices and 375 members of the trained personnel to Chicago as was envisioned in the demand for additional floor space in Washington. Just where the service will be lo- cated isn't definitely settled. That it will be somewhere near Washing- ton there is no doubt, because of the need to be in close contact with many other Federal departments. Our guess is the Patuxent Refuge, 20 miles out on the Washington Baltimore road, will be the eventual home of this important agency. The 3,000 acres now under juris- diction of the Fish and Wildlife Service allows more than enough room for any possible future devel- opment. The present buildings are inadequate, but temporary buildings can be erected there easler and at less expense than moving to Chi- cago would entail. The technicians of the service, who have homes here and for that reason found moving impossible, will be able to continue their work on the refuge as well and probably better than in crowded downtown buildings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Seeking & more potent scoring punch and in- creased drive, Coach Clair Bee will send a revamped Long Island line- up against Georgetown tonight in the second half of a twin-bill at Madison Square Garden.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10—The first contract sent out by the Phila- delphia Athletics bounced today as Lester W. McCrabb, a right-handed pitcher officially inaugurated the 1942 baseball holdout season. McCrabb, from his home near here, asserted the American Leaguers’ offer “contained a boost | over what I was paid last year, but | I didn't think it was enough. I told | Mr. Mack I might as well go into defense work, where I could earn more money and he told me to go| ahead.” The usually taciturn Connie Mack, A’s president-manager, commented only that “I gave him an increase where I should have given him a cut, I guess.” McCrabb, 27, won nine and lost 13 games for the tail-end A’s last year.

Lanky Pro With Putter Blazing Leads Three Rivals by Stroke Cooper, Barron, Beer Are Not Far Ahead Of Hogan, Snead, Nelson, Other Aces By ROBERT MYERS, Associated Press Sports Writer. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.—Horton Smith led the field going into the second round of the $10,000 Los Angeles Open today, but if you listen to the lanky Mr. Smith, he "1l have to play better golf than he did yesterday to hold his advantage. Mr. Smith went to town on the score board with a 68 that was | four strokes under par for the Hill-¢ crest Country Club course, but Mr.) Smith, one of the nicest guys in the | business, was far from satisfied. “My score was good, and I'm glad | T had it, but I'm afraid there might | have been better golf played by some of the fellows who had 70s or even 72s,” he sald. Smith one-stroke lead —at the| end of the first 18 holes—over Harry | Cooper, Herman Barron of White Plains, N. Y., and Chet Beer of Los | Angeles could be attributed to his marvelous short game —a depart- ment in which the Pinehurst, N. C., master excels, Deadly on Greens. Leaving such tournament threats as Benny Hogan (70), Johnny Re- volta (70), Denny Shute (71), Sam Snead (71) and Byron Nelson (72) to trail behind, Smith birdied the | first three holes and was off to the races. He sank one 30-foot putt and chipped in from 40 feet away in this | brilliant start. He had trouble hitting the greens, but once on them, he was deadly. Mighty little Hogan was a threat to pass Smith coming up to the 18th, but his approach from below was | short and the ball rolled back down the incline as the crowd moved out of its path. MacDonald Smith, a sentimental favorite with four Los Angeles open titles to his credit since the event was started in 1926, got around in 76. Ralph Guldahl, ex-open cham- pion, had the same. Jimmy Demaret, transplanted Texan from Detroit, | took 73. Johnny Bulla, 1940 winner here, was one stroke behind. Meet Likely is Gheszi's Last. P. G. A. Champion Vic Ghezzi took 72 in what might be his last tournament. The New Jersey pro, who won this event in 1935, was re- ported to have received word to come home January 16 for physical examination for the Army. Ghezzi elected to remain silent on the sub- ject, but his pro mates gave him a bugle call salute at intervals. Smith’s lead admittedly was slim enough to be precaricus with the | Littles, Thomsons, McSpadens and the previously mentioned gentlemen so close on his heels. A generous share of the gallery is hoping he clinches the lead by the time the tournament winds up Monday. Barons Find Indians Hard Lot fo Beaf In Basket Ball Teams rated as underdogs are proving the biggest headaches (ur‘ Bethesda-Chevy Chase’s basket ball | team.

Anacostia led, 14-11, at the half, but Al Sher- line of the Barons his a hot streak and tallied three baskets to take his team in front. Bob Cremins then came through with two more buckets | to give the Barons enough edge to withstand another late spurt by the Indians.

Only once in their last 97 games over a span of two seasons have the Eagles been blanked, which would indicate Coach Redvers Mackenzie's players are adept at locating the net. Only twice in 29 games this season have the Eagles been limited to one goal and they won on one of those occasions. They currently are wal- lowing in fourth place in the East- ern Amateur League, but nobody has accused them of not making it interesting for the leaders. The Eagles were forced to over- come a 3-2 deficit last night as the Skeeters left the ice at the end of the second period with that lead. Lean Len Burrage locked the score early in the third period, but three minutes later big Red Storey staked River Vale to a 4-3 lead.
