HIGH SCHOOL CUNTS
IN TOURNEY AT PENN

Basketers of Eastern and Central
are at Philadelphia today competing
in the University OF Pennsylvania in
terschoiastic basket ball tournament.
Both teams were to figure in the
opening games, the Central meeting
the Darby. Pa. High School, and the
Fasteners facing the Chester High
School of Philadelphia.
Coach Burt Coggins of Central
probably will use Dezendorf and
Hale, forwards; Scruggs, center. and
Harper and Dean, guards. Hook and
Bennie, forwards; Smith, center, and
kessler and Thompson, guards, is
the probable lineup for Eastern.
Central. Tech and Eastern are to
send their best track representatives
to the Johns Hopkins indoor games
tonight, at the 5th Regiment Armory
in Baltimore. Business and Western
will not be represented. as their
track teams are not fully rounded
out.
Charley PuEh of Tech was being
counted upon heavily for the dash
events at Baltimore, but he will be
unable to display his wares tonight
as he is suffering from a bruised
ankle received in the Georgetown
games.
Lightweight tOsserS OF Wasterr
High easily disposed of Winton Ath.

performers.
Eastern Highs second team fell be
fore the Anacostia Eagles in q 59-to-
90 match. Roudabush and Radict
played well for the Light Blue anc
white, while Young and Lusby were
best for the Eagles.

DEMPSEY EXHIBITION
IS mere BURLESQUE

Those who went to Central Coli
scum last night to see Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight boxing champion of the
world, saw him and little else. Demp-
sey stepped into ring and demon
strated how he delivered blows, but
q squad of Maj. Sullivan's finest was
present to prevent the fistic king
from fracturinG the jaw of his spar
ring partner or the law of the Dis
trict Of Columbia and no blows Were
exchanged.
Jack Kearns, debonnaire manager of
the champion, told a few things about
his protege and assisted in explaining &
just what Dempsey was trying to
show the crowd. But neither mana
ger nor champion did anything
worth while.
There was some wrestling done be-
fore the champion made his bow
though no one seemed to worry about
il. All told. il was 4 disappointing
show and probably pleased none but
those who did not have TO shell out
shekels for admission.

TENNIS BALL BRINGS
AN OLYMPIC DISPUTE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 23. A serious
conflict over the choice of the tennis
ball to be used in the competitions of
the Olympic games has resulted in
the resignation of Alan H. Muir as
secretary of the French Tennis Fed
Grafton, and may cause France to go
unrepreSented in this branch of the
Olympic competitions.
When the tennis federation learned
that the French Olympic committee
had adopted a tennis ball of Ameri-
can make for the matches next July
it informed the Olympic committee
men that unless the American ball
was withdrawn the French tennis
team would not take part in the
games. To this the Olympic commit
tee rejoined with an expression of
regret, but said its decision must
stand.
Frantz Reichel, secretary, and Alan
Fl. Muir, international secretary of
the French Olympic committee, are
being bitterly assailed and openly ac-
cused by members of the tennis fed
Grafton with having adopted a ball of
American make for the purpose of
favoring the American tennis players
over the English and French. Both
ReicheI and Muir retort that their
only desire is to give the Olympic
competitors the benefit of the best
available material, adding that the
American tennis players need no fa-
vors and will be able to look after
themselves without undue privileges.
