The All-District basket ball selectors shouldn’t have much trouble picking a first team this year. . . It will come as a surprise here if Bobby Gilham and Matt Zunic of George Washington, Ernie Travis of Maryland and Bill Bornheimer and Buddy O’Grady of Georgetown aren’t unanimous. . . We wonder how the boxing fans would have reacted the other night if Claudio Villar’s plane from Florida had been grounded before reaching Washington. . . He arrived only a few hours before his losing battle with Bob Pastor. . . Aside to the D. C. Boxing Commission: You can do better than that. According to Miss Megan Taylor, 1940 world figure skating cham- pion, competitive skaters are washed up at 23. . .. “One becomes a grand- mother on ice,” to use Miss Taylor's words . . . The lady still is two years away from this particular kind of senility . . . Feature skaters in ice shows like the Ice Capades never show all their tricks . .. They hold back some of their tricky maneuvers so there will be enough to go around. The current efforts of Thomas P. Morgan, jr. to bring England's Tommy Farr to Washington for a British War Relief Society fight next summer remind of the time Promoter Ray Alvis promised last May to produce Farr in 72 hours , . . Farr not only failed to show up, but Alvis, himself, disappeared. Abe Simon and Vera Hruba, Too Information Please: The first function of a marine was to sit in a crow’s nest of a man-o’-war and pick off with his rifle the personnel on the exposed decks of opponents . .

For reserves, Bama Rowell. (Braves), Claude Corbitt (Dodgers) and George Archie (Browns) . .. If the Army is interested in raising Relief Society funds what's wrong with a super-All-Star game between the All-Stars of the armed forces and the All-Stars of BOTH major leagues.

If it's any consolation the Washington Lions, new American League rivals, are suffering at the gate, too. ‘ ‘ The consensus seems to be that the Lions’ hockey is superior but the Eagles have retained many of their original customers, probably because they score (and are scored agafhst) more heavily . . . They haven't failed to tally in their last 54 games and only once in their last 103 combats have they been shut out . . . The Lions, on the other hand, have been white- washed eight times this season. - Hoyas Get a Winner, but It Doesn’t Pay According to a column in the George Washington University publica- tion, The Hatchet, President Cloyd Heck Marvin is quoted as saying that Bill Reinhart will remain as head football coach . . .

NEW YORK, Jan. 22—Its major championships shelved by the war, the United States Golf Association went to work today on a tournament designed to furnish competition for many golfers, entertainment for many fans and relief for many of the | conflict’s innocent victims. | The tournament will be named the “Hale America Open.” It will be 72 holes of medal play, staged on a Chicago course June 18-21—the dates originally set for the National Open at Minneapolis.
