The match between Eastern and
Western should be well contested.
Both play about the same style of
basket ball and the teams will be
about even as to weight. Eastern

Neary says that England is just as

Of doing. Anyway, Neary and Smith.
according to present plans, are work

YANKEE FIVE STARTLED
BY PLUCKY AL0YS|ANS

When the Congress Heights Yankees,
independent basket ball champions Of
the District, invade Gonzaga gymnasium
on February % for their second tilt
Of the winter with the title-seeking
Aloysians, they will carry with them a
wholesome respect for the l street ag-

in the Coliseum and prior to the clash
the Yanks, swollen with confidence, 'ex-
pected to run roughshod over the would
be champions. But the latter gave the
Congress Heights team the surprise OF
its life and the titleholders were for
tunate to win. 81 to %.
The Yanks went along in great style
in the first half of the engagement and
earned a 23-to-16 advantage. but fal,
tered badly in the, second half. Had
the Aloysius put forth a player capable
of consistently scoring from the foul
line they would have finished on the
better end of the count. They were out
scored from scrimmage by only one
goal, but none OF their tosserS could
locate the basket well with free throws.
A surprising feature of the conflict was
the inability Of Heddens. one of the best
shooters of the District. to count for
the Yanks. He was guarded by Hol-
brook and so closely did the rangy
Aloysian follow the Congress Heights
star that the latter never had real
opportunity to cage the ball. The care
full attention bestowed upon Heddens.
however, gave Atherton and Ingiey
chances to score and they made good
with a vengeance. 1t was their shoot
ing that sent the champions SO far
ahead at the outset.
The Aloysius team came to life in the
second half and played the Yankees of
their feet. With McNaney, Duffy and
Holbrook leading the attack. the
streeters amassed IL points while hold
ing the opposition to 8. and continued
the squirt until two of the regulars were
banished because Of personal fouling.
During this period Ingley's goal was the
only one made by the Yanks from scrim-
mage, but Heddens kept them in the
van with his tosses from the foul line.

athletics have rested almost entirely
with faculty committee.
Faculty Must Prevail.
The Charlottesville school will be
compelled, in order to come within
the ruling of the southern intercol-
legiate conference. to which it has
committed itself, to name as on the
faculty to give the faculty the con-
trolling power: but that should not
in the least detract from the eff
cheney of such a. committee of control
nor should it cause students or alumni
to feel they are getting the short
end of the deal
Faculty control, with voice for
students and alumni, is only right, as
in the last analysis neither the stu
dents nor the alumni run an institu-
tion, nor are the students or the
alumni charged, as the faculty is
with the right conduct of all the
elements that go to make up uni
versity.
Much of the upheaval at Virgins
seems to be the result of the desire
nized generally that DR.. w. A. Lam.
beth and DR.. Albert Lefevre have
been the controlling factors in vir-
ginia athletics and many of the
alumni and students have objected, il
seems, to policies that have been car
ried out under their direction. DIR
Lambeth and DR.. Lefevre have their
faults. undoubtedly. as have all other
humans. and everything connected
with Virginia athletics has not been

direct result of Virginia's policy OF
clean athletics. In other words, the
influences Lambeth and Lefevre ex-
erted at Virginia are felt today in
every state institution in the south
because every state institution, and
Washington and Lee University. has
adopted under the jurisdiction of the
southern conference the principles for.
which Lambeth and Iefevre have been
contending, and which they brought
into being at Virginia several years
ago.
Troubles in Virginia athletics lie
not SO much in the policy of eIigibil-
ity as in other things. Virginia has.
lacked anything that savored of ef-s
ficient business management for its
athletics, such management as has
been instituted at Harvard, Cornell,
North Carolina, Virginia Polytechnic.

of it has been a failure
Virginia's alumni and students are
absolutely right in their efforts 70
eliminate the factors in Virginia's ath-

the efficiency of Virginia's teams and
to its dealings with other schools in

THE information circulating
through the winter league is that
Harry Frazee sent Clark Griffith a
wad Of cash with Peck and that the
Old Fox turned a goodly portion of
this cash over to Mack.
"While the trade has apparently
raised despairing walls from Connie
Mack's customers, the gaunt leader
of the Athletics probably has made
the best of troublesome situation.
He no longer has Dugan. but the
latter's departure has brought him
two ball players and considerable
coin. The players may help him and
the cash certainly will.
''As the situation stood last season
Dugan's only value to the Athletics
was that of a negotiable asset. He
deserted the club and refused to play
for Mack any longer. SO it cannot be
said that in last weeks trade Connie
deliberately removed a star from his
everyday lineup. Dugan might
have been compelled to play for the
Athletics in order to continue to
make a living in organized base ball,
but under such conditions his serv-
ices would have been of doubtful
value"
