The first big league basketball

holding down center for the Wash

NADIA, whose father came to this
country % years ago as . copper
smith.
'sJazz' Chazmadia appears to be
built OF copper himself, his sinewy
muscles ripping constantly as he
fights up and down the basketball
floor. He will need ever bit Of that
strength and fight Sunday, when
he opposes the best center in the

long time the most picturesque star
in the business, Meehan has just
signed with the Philadelphia club
and is expected to be a deciding
factor in the opening professional
game here.
Capt. Ray Kennedy has no fear
for Chazmadia, however, since the

sterling stuff in the two weeks

won the admiration of the squad,

Yale and Harvard handicapped
themselves by agreeing to delay
their activities until the middle OF
September. Princeton likewise joined
this group of late beginners. To
the minds of some this may not
appear of any real Importance.
To the individual who had to
mold a team Of raw material 1t Is
of paramount importance. 1t means
that the team so Handicapped has
to spot its opponents decided
advantage. Once upon "a time an
Eli. Crimson or Tiger eleven could
labor under such disadvantage
and survive. Today football mas
changed so that every team has a
chance to win. no matter how out
classed it may look before a con-
test.
The teams that begin their
football work in August and the
first days OF September have an
advance over Yale, Harvard, and
Princeton that cannot be truly
measured. III the material Is good
at these seats Of learning the late
start Is not SO harmful.
If, however, Jones, Horween and
Roper have to develop elevens from
raw stock, they must labor under
a disadvantage that is sure to cost
them much Of their former pres
tige. That is all that is the matter
with the Big Three. They are
forced to surrender the advantage
to their rivals before the season
opens. It is no wonder they fail to
keep their gridiron slate clean OF
defeats.
When Yale and Harvard meet the
patrons always witness some real
first-class football. The traditions
behind the representatives Of these
seats Of learning are such that they
give their very best when they meet.
A thoroughbred is always more
| courageous animal than pillow
horse. Yale and Harvard have been
on the top Of the gridiron heap for
so long that they must be acknowl.
edged the leaders of the sport.
The same can be said in ref
erence to Princeton. A glance
through football history will show
that these three teams have won
more victories than any rival that
can be mentioned.
Their leadership has been earned.

New York Pays for Transit Rig ght-of- Way
By Sale of Real Estate Taken In Fee

Sale of city-owned real estate taken
in fee a decade ago in order to secure
perpetual easements for rapid transit
right of way has netted the city Of
New York margin enough over the
original outlay to give the city Its
right of way without cost and net II a
substantial profit on the transaction.
That is the outcome of an auction sale
of 25 parcels of city-owned Manhattan
real estate, as analyzed in a recent is
sue of the New York Record. and
Guide.
Not only does the city gets its right
Of way without cost through profit on
it's condemned real estate, but. in ad.

from which deductions of $61 ,0Q0
