PALACE BASKETERS
NEAR LEAGUELEAD

Although still holding first place in
the American Basket Ball League
race, the Cleveland Rosenblum five
bears a smirched record today as a
result OF the Washington clubs &C
tivity last night on the Arcade court.
The Palace tossers showed the way
to the leaders by score of "a to IL
and chalked up a sixth victory in the
second half series. The fight now
appears to lie between the Capital
crew and the Clevelanders and should
the latter be nosed out again the To-
Gals are likely to step into the van.
A tight defense on both sides caused
last nights fray to be decided from
the foul line. The visitors found the
basket from the floor only four times
and Washington accounted for only
Ave court goals. The foul shots stood
IA to for palace.
Rusty Saunders. local forward. took
scoring honors with a total of nine
counters Husta and Dieghan each
contributed five to Cleveland's score.
Washington held a 17-to-6 advan-
tage at half time.

Maryland dropped a race to Pennsyi-
vania after having previously beaten
that school, Georgetown has SINCE
beaten Holy Cross on two occasions.
In fact, Georgetown was so strong
that about the only opponent that IL

well. In the Johns Hopkins meet in
Baltimore Saturday night, the entire

In fact. the Hopkins meet Saturday
night found both Georgetown and
Maryland winding up their regular

trophy by a wide margin. while Mary

a decisive whipping by a margin OF
nearly 20 yards In the feature of the

All that remains to make a great
climax to a fine season from local
point OF view is for Georgetown to
win the Intercollegiates. And 1t seems,
in almost everybody's judgment. that
It has an excellent chance to do so.
No other big school has as capable an

LACOSTE MAY GAIN
HEIGHTS IN TENNIS


NEW YORK, March Framed in
the background of Frances sensa-
tional though losing fight to topple
America from the international tennis
pinnacle, Rene Lacoste stands forth
as a potential world champion. If not
already within the realm of considera-
ton for tie honor held SO long by
William T. Tilden.
Critics here are of the opinion that
Lacoste's straight set histories over
Tilden and Vincent Richards may be
accepted as indicating that the -.
year-old Wimbledon champion has
earned a place as outstanding con-
tender for international No. l ranking.
Lacoste's victories over the No.
and No. 3 players were amazing in
the ease and decisiveness with which
he won. particularly in the view of the
fact that he never had played on the
7th Regiment Armory courts. 1t was
believed that the strangeness Of play
ing on the boards. together with the
peculiar lighting conditions. would
bother him.
Richards. on the other hand. has al
ways been considered particularly
dangerous on these courts, where he
has played for several years. Yet he
was routed In his matches against La
coste. both in the national tourna
ment and in the team match.
