Buker. who represented Uncle Sam
In the Paris olympics and returned
to dethrone Joie Ray as American
mile titleholder, will make his fare
well to the track during the coming
indoor season. With his twin broth
er, Richard. he is preparing for South
American missionary service, but be-
fore he leaves to take up this task
Ray hopes to match strides at least
once more with Nurmi and his other
rivals. He may get his first oppor-
tunity In the mile special at the
Finnish american games here, Janu-
airy 6, when he is entered with a
crack field, including Nurmi and Joie
Ray.
Missionaries of new type, the
Buker boys. both athletic stars and
rivals In their days at Bates College,
Maine, are sons of a Clergyman, Rev.
Fred NJ. Buker of Anthony, r. L.,
whose work in Bolivia they are now
qualifying to carry on. They have a
similarity in ministerial aims as close
as their personal resemblance to each
other.
Ray is engaged in duties as as
sistant to the rector at Ruggles
Street Baptist Church and is taking
advanced studies in Boston Univer-
sity Theological School, while he
practices running daily for his final
season on the track. Richard, Bible
school teacher In the church where
his brother is occasional preacher, is
studying at the same time at Harvard
Medical School. They will go to
Bolivia together, Ray as pastoral
missionary; Richard as medical
missionary.
Ray Buker first gained national
athletic prominence in 1921, when he
won special two-mile race at the
Pennsylvania relay carnival from a
field that included several English
stars. After leaving Bates, he ran
for the Illinois Athletic Club. and
helped the tri-color ofganizat ton TO
capture many championship honors.
He was one of the famous Ray Trio"
at the ]. A. c., the others being Jofe
Ray and Ray Watson.
Buker finished fifth, leading all his
teammates in the Olympic 1,50O-meter
run, when Nurmi won in record time.
Richard Buker has not continued
his competition, but in college he
ran stride for stride with Raw. and
frequently the brothers finished in
dead heats as winners.

Basket ball seems to be a favorite
sport at the East Capitol institution
for Coach Charley Guyon usually has
more court material than in any other
pastime. Those games in which
Eastern appeared against Gallaudet
College and the Light Blue and
White Alumni reveal that Guyon s
team will enter the 1925 titular series
with the same speed and dash that
crushed its rivals last year.
A speedy passing game and fine team
play has been responsible for East
ems success on the court. Bonnie,
Hook and Kessler, who performed
with the champion five last year. are
expected TO be the big guns in East
ern's attack this year. If he is any
where near the player he was last
year, kessler, with his-clever general
ship, ought to prove the biggest fac
tor in Eastern's chances. Sma Her
than the average high school athlete.
Kessler has offset this disadvantage
by calling on his speed and using his
head
Whether Eastern will cop again
will depend greatly on the Western
and Central teams. II is thought that
Guyon's five has a decided edge on the
CUNTS at Business and Tech Al
though he Is in dire need of more re-
serve mateial Coach Dan Ahern
of Western has three capable young
sters in Lamar, CARRIER and Dulin,
who figured SO prominently in that
thrilling game last year when East
ern rallied in the waning minutes
to win the deciding game.
There was little to choose between
Eastern and Western last year, but
it happene that the former quint
produced just the needed amount or
driving power to nose out the George
town school.
Henry Lamar of Western should
give good account of himself al the
pivot position. He was one of the
best defensive centers in the series
last year and should be equally as
effective this season, for Tech and
Eastern will be without the services
of Adams and Smith, respectively.
Lamar's greater height aids the Of
fensive tactics of the Georgetown
school Dulin and CARRIER are gener-
ally conceded to be the most polish ID
players in the high schools. Anyway
you figure IL, it seems that Western
will Offer Eastern the battle of Its
life when the titular matches get un-
der way.

OLD DOMINION QUINT
BOWS TO GALLAUDET

Gallaudet's basket ball tossers
scored 4g-to-3S verdict over the
Old Dominion Boat Club five on the
Kendall Green floor last night In a
game In which all kinds OF basket
ball were played.
William Riddle, who jumps center
for Gallaudet, had one of his big
days. The slim basketeer tossed IL
goals from scrimmage and had the
boat club men chasing him all over
the floor. Riddle was acting as cap
tain of the Gallaudet quint last
night, and, with Bryant, was the orfly
regular in Coach Hughes makeshift
lineup.
The work of Beeton and Seiple
stood out for the boat club five. Be-
tween them they scored 80 OF the
visitors points and carried the brunt
of the boatmen's defense.
The game was rather slow during
the first half. Both quints set much
faster pace during the second half,
but the Kendall Greeners never were
in danger.
